Trip...
Continued from Page 10
Upon arriving in St. Paul, head down
town to the Science Museum of Minnesota.
Upon finding the museum, enter and bear
right. Buy a ticket at the counter. You will
get a little badge to wear as proof of having
purchased the ticket. It's sort of like the
little wrist-badge you get upon entering a
hospital for major surgery.
Next, you need to enter the Omni,
theatre, brainchild of the 3M Corporation.
You would be surprised at what the people
who bring you Scotch tape can do to your
spatial senses.
The entrance to the theatre is a winding
path. Along the way you will be fighting
world's most intense air conditioning sy sys
tem. A tuna-salad sandwich would keep
forever in the cold temperature.
You will probably get a chance to look
at the projector, which is the heart of the
theatre. It resembles a gigantic computer.
The film is even more amazing. It re
sembles a roll of Brawny paper towels.
This film makes two-inch video tape look
like a spool of thread. Finally, however,
you will enter the theatre.
The theatre, with no film running, is
sort of a psychologist's dream. You enter
and immediately begin to lose your equil-.
ibrium. All the aisles are an inclined plane
and are carpeted in purple, along with the
seats and everything but the ceiling, which
is a pale cream color.
The theatre resembles a cereal bowl be
cause it is gently curved from side to side.
If you took a grapefruit, cut it in half and
placed it on an inclined SO degree plane,
you would have the Omnitheatre.
The real fun begins when you think you
have everything figured out (which way is
up and suchX 3M pulls the rug out from
beneath you. If you are prone to car sick
ness and carry a supply of Dramamine with
you on short flights, the Omnitheatre
might not be for you.
Through some sort of projection
system, the image on the curved screen
starts at your feet and curves up over your
head. You would need eyes in the back of
your head to see the whole thing. Likewise
for the image at your sides. When looking
straight ahead you can see nothing but
the motion picture.
This would all be very easy to handle
if the film was a documentary on the ger
mination of seeds. But no, 3M makes it in
teresting. You get to ride in a jet fighter
racing across the face of the earth at two
times the speed of sound.
If you aren't up to that, you might
choose something a little more milder, like
the snow mobile or cable car ride. All are
guaranteed to make your stomach do
Olympic-class gymnastics. If you remember
ed to bring your air sickness bag, you get a
gold star for the day.
At $3 the 3M Omnitheatre is the cheap
est out-of-this-world trip that any traveler
will ever take.
