Year of the Miracle!
Miracle is an awe-inspiring, thrilling, edge of your seat film and attraction that puts you directly in the center of the greatest story ever told! Miracle will be presented in ultra high-definition stereoscopic 3D and will employ a host of elements such as snow, wind, scent, and an immersive digital surround sound system to make for a truly high-impact presentation. Miracle will be the first of its kind combining a variety of technical and creative elements. Miracle's most important element, however, will be its emotionally charged story, based on the moment of Christ's birth, which will remind "travelers" to "Believe the Miracle".

Miracle is produced by RCCM, Stephen Galvano Worldwide, and Colors Studios, in association with a host of talent spanning from Hollywood to Britain, Rochester and all around the world. Such talent includes music composers, animators, engineers, and producers.
