Weather/Adventure Simulators
Greetings from TCMU!
Does anyone have a Feel The Fury simulator, a.k.a. Hurricane Simulator, where visitors can experience wild weather conditions and animal encounters? How has the experience been? Positives? Negatives? Reliability (does it malfunction/breakdown often)? Popular with visitors? Revenue generation (is it worth it)?
Thanks in advance for your input!
