Hm. I will have to check the auditorium entries to see how tall they are. They
may not be standard door height. But I think the smaller Genies have a tilt
back feature.

Also need to check the side aisle width. I think the Super Straddle requires 4
feet of space for assembly. A Genies are just about that wide as well.
