New Bible attractions in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., and Branson, Mo., allow vacationing families to embark on an immersive time-travel journey from the Garden of Eden to the time of Christ, all from the air-conditioned comfort of a 5D virtual reality chair. The apologetics ministry Answers in Genesis opened its Truth Traveler 5D exhibit in Pigeon Forge in June and plans to debut a second location in Branson in the coming days, taking children and adults on a journey from the Garden of Eden through the days of Noah, culminating with the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ.

The cutting-edge 5D attraction engages the senses with effects such as vibrating, motion-synchronized chairs, and bursts of wind.

Ben Wilt, chief digital officer at Answers in Genesis, told Crosswalk Headlines the goal is to "solidify that the Bible is the ultimate authority and the history book of the universe" -- all while taking guests on a thrill ride they'll not soon forget.
