IMAX WGV – is closed. True. SJC plans to bring in a new operator. When, not known.
There was a lot of chatter on NextDoor and IMAX WGV Facebook page … I am inserting what I had posted on both … It is currently closed (yes waiting for new operators) and I don’t think SJC saying the IMAX post was “inaccurate” was a nice response. IMAX WGV has been a great partner to the residents. It would be great if SJC had the new movie owners lined up and ready to go before IMAX had to close … especially at this time when lots of folks visit their families in WGV area and enjoy the IMAX. My contact (JM Sr Dir Customer Operations) has been wonderful — always updating me with IMAX movie news so I could share with everyone in my weekly neighborhood emails and website — after many years of communicating we finally met for the first time in person only a few weeks ago! I will miss this team. Yes, SJC said they would keep the theater going – no date on when. So for now it is CLOSED. No information from SJC on any of the plans for these now closed buildings, i.e. Hall of Fame and IMAX. (The developers of the past have never done anything for this area – becoming a ghost town.) Let’s go SJC — what exciting news can you share with us! SJC is awesome in so many other ways and we appreciate all that they do.
WGV / Kelly Lake. So happy that IMAX WGV is continuing with us. Yes, Hall of Fame has moved to North Carolina and the county and the commissioners will need to make a decision on what will go into that building. BUT … be sure to come by and enjoy a stroll around Kelly Lake and visit some of your favorites who will continue to be with us for a long time at this point: IMAX WGV, Murray Bros. Caddyshack; Trilogy Day Spa; Renaissance Resort WGV & Villagio Bar & Grill; Slammer & Squire (public golf and restaurant); Reverb Church … This is a nice place to sit in one of the gazebos, read a book, just have some quiet time!
