After lunch at Red Bean’s we watched the “Roller Coaster” presentation in the simulation theater and then “The Hidden Dimension” in the cyberdome theater. We did a little goofing off in the gift shop in between shows (as you can see above) and then afterward we walked through the exhibits. We had such a blast!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
