New Disney Attraction a Hurricane Force

I went to Epcot for the first time ever this past February. Once I got there, I wondered why I had put it off all these years, favoring other Orlando parks over this one. Now, Epcot is my favorite place in Mouseville.
I’m therefore truly excited about their new attraction “StormStruck: The Tale of Two Homes”. 2004’s Hurricane Charley, one of the worst storms to strike the United States, is the start of a new exhibit that opens in August. The exhibit will be in Epcot Innoventions pavilion and will use 3-D technology to put your right in the middle of a Category 4 hurricane.
The overall purpose of the presentation is to show the visitor the difference in outcomes in two different homes – one that survived Charley and one that didn’t. It’s all about how you fortify your home, the roof, the walls, the floors even.
I still remember all the homes in our neighborhood back in Gainesville with the roofs covered in tarps after they had been destroyed by Hurricane Charley. We got though fine, save for the power being out for days.
Hey Scribe: I also wrote about Disney’s plans to recreate Hurricane Charley in my blog, Ken Kaye’s Storm Center, weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/news/weather/hurricane/blog. All told, I think it’s a good thing; should get more people to prepare!
