Rip(off)ley's Believe it or Not

Plan for the day was to go to Ripley's Aquarium, and maybe Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum. At the entrance to the Aquarium, the dude selling the tickets said that if you buy tickets to TWO Ripley's Venues - you get the third free. Tickets to the Aquarium, Believe it or not, and the "Ripley's Motion Theatre" were obtained.

The Aquarium was the only place worth going to... There is a very cool shark display that allows a person to see the action from above the water, along with a moving platform that moves you underneath and through the shark tank. Here are pics:

A Bigger Boat


The "Believe it or not" Museum was a letdown.. There were a couple of two-headed animals, but the majority of displays were illusions or "tricks of the mind".

The final venue was the "Ripley's Motion Theatre".... This was a theatre where a person straps into a chair and gets thrashed around as a movie plays out on a screen. The movie is shown from the perspective of the attendee riding a buncha different things (i.e. snowmobiles, dune buggies, etc).. So, ya basically get thrown around in a chair for about 30 minutes.

So.....

Ripley's Aquarium is worth it.

The Motion Theatre and Believe it or not Museum isn't.
