Tests were inconclusive Friday night about whether local moviegoers were interrupted at the new Majestic 12 Theater when fireworks flew after the Chattanooga Lookouts game.
A third party’s proposed fix was implemented at the city’s newest downtown attraction when the Lookouts’ after-game pyrotechnics show took place.
Thad Morton of Camike Cinemas said, “We remain hopeful that the third party’s proposed changes will lead to a successful interim solution until a permanent resolution can be achieved. The most important thing for all of us is that Chattanoogans were able to safely enjoy an evening of entertainment at the movies or watch fireworks after the ballgame.”
Local firefighters suggested more tests be conducted.
On July 4 and July 23, the fireworks shows after a home baseball game generated heavy smoke downtown that triggered smoke alarms at the 12-screen theater at 311 Broad St., shutting down projectors and forcing patrons outside.
