One of the most convenient ways to get to our cinema is via our state-of-the-art tram system. For visitors, this is especially useful as it provides an easy and scenic ride from the parking lot to the facility. Simply park in one of our designated visitor lots and hop on the tram – our friendly operators will be happy to assist you.
The tram service runs regularly throughout the day, with departures every 15-20 minutes during peak hours and more frequent departures during busy times such as film screenings or special events. You can track your next arrival time at one of our convenient tram stops located near each parking lot entrance.
As you ride the tram, take in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape – our system winds its way through a beautiful natural area, providing a peaceful and serene atmosphere that's perfect for relaxation or contemplation.

At the heart of our facility lies a massive hydroelectric dam, built into the very foundation of Black Mesa itself. This engineering marvel harnesses the power of the surrounding terrain to generate electricity, providing a clean and renewable source of energy for all our operations.
The dam is a testament to human ingenuity and technological prowess, spanning over 500 meters in length and towering above the surrounding landscape. By diverting water from nearby streams and channels into a series of turbines, we're able to generate a massive amount of electricity that's then transmitted to our facility via an extensive network of power lines.
For the cinema, this hydroelectric power is essential for keeping the lights on and the movies playing all day long. Our advanced power management system ensures that the electrical grid is always stable and efficient, providing just the right amount of juice for every aspect of our operations – from the projection equipment to the concession stand refrigerators.
This hydroelectric power is not only reliable and efficient but also environmentally friendly – by harnessing the natural energy of the surrounding terrain, we're reducing our carbon footprint and contributing to a cleaner, greener future.
