ETC's EnTCo Subsidiary Announces its Wild Earth™ Ride Has Received Thea Award

SOUTHAMPTON, PA, March 28, 2006 - Entertainment Technology Corporation ("EnTCo"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Environmental Tectonics Corporation (AMEX-ETC) ("ETC" or the "Company") today announced that the Dodge Wild Earth™ ride at the Philadelphia Zoo has received a prestigious Thea Award at a special black tie event for the themed entertainment industry at the Disneyland Hotel, California.

Rob Lloyd, Creative Director at EnTCo, received the Thea Award with Alexander "Pete" Hoskins, President and CEO of the Philadelphia Zoo. Lloyd stated, "We at EnTCo had a vision of creating a truly interactive experience that would engage the Philadelphia Zoo's family audience and emotionally communicate the Zoo's message. With EnTCo's expertise in motion simulation and intuitive technology, we worked closely with the Zoo's educators to develop and present the messages of exploration, conservation and the impact of individual action in a compelling and immersive story. The result is an exciting, personalized trek across the African plain that reaches children of all ages."

Dodge Wild Earth™ is an all-ages experience that sends a driver and a photographer, in a truck-themed capsule, on a trek through the Serengeti in an exciting photo-safari. Unlike traditional motion simulator ride films, the Wild Earth™ experience is completely interactive, allowing each team to navigate their own adventure, experiencing the rich, educationally stimulating environment and wildlife of Africa. More information about Wild Earth™ can be found at www.TheRideWorks.com.
