Is an aquarium the best place to revive Smell-O-Vision? Either way, it looks like Wonka will meet the water soon—the New York Aquarium is ready to give their visitors a 4-D experience, allowing them "to taste the salty sea water and surf." Planet Earth: Shallow Seas 4:D Experience is the latest attraction to come to the Coney Island establishment and will be in full effect starting March 21st. The 4-D Immersion Theater includes sensory affects like water mist, a neck air blast, leg ticklers and seat vibrations. All that's missing is a manatee lap dance! Tickets will range from $9 to $13, and feeling as though you are "gliding alongside a cast of balletic sea lions as they dive through vast swirling bait balls of anchovy" sounds like a nice way to help bail out the aquarium, no?
