Once you're in the seat, viewers can adjust how strong they want the movements to be.

Guy Marcoux with D-Box Technologies said, "Literally electromechanical discs that sit underneath the seat that creates those motion or replicates those motion effects that we've created." The special effect is created by what D-Box calls "motion actuators."
