That is very cool; I am certain that they will be successful in Augusta. How did you hear about this?

IMAX theater planned for area

An IMAX theater could soon be coming to the Augusta Regal Exchange 20 on Agerton Lane. storyPhotos();

Regal Entertainment Group representatives said they are considering retrofitting an existing Regal Exchange auditorium for an IMAX Digital system.

IMAX and Regal signed a partnership agreement in March for 31 IMAX theaters in 20 U.S. markets.

Although Regal is not confirming that the Regal Exchange 20 is one of the theaters, the Regal corporate site features an announcement that an IMAX theater is "coming soon" to the Exchange, and the IMAX corporate site lists a fall 2008 opening date.

Many of the new Regal/IMAX theaters are shooting for a Nov. 21 opening to coincide with the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: The IMAX Experience .
