5D Truth Traveler Attraction Opens Wednesday in Pigeon Forge – Branson in August

Ken Ham, founder of AiG and its attractions, will attend Wednesday’s ribbon cutting. He declared, “When I recently toured the almost-finished Truth Traveler in Pigeon Forge, I saw something of a Disneyesque attraction coming to this area. Guests are going to be amazed and stunned at the quality of our unique, fun experiences.” Ham added, “What a great opportunity to impact the culture with Bible teaching and for it to be presented in a way that I believe exceeds Disney in quality.”

Truth Traveler transports guests back in time, immersing them in pivotal moments in biblical history starting in Genesis. It features a custom animated 5D Virtual Reality ride, complete with motion benches, haptics, and VR goggles for a full sensory experience while sitting inside a pod. Nearby, the Stargazer Planetarium uses laser projectors and a large, tilted dome. The planetarium takes guests on a journey as they travel deep into the far reaches of the universe.

Leon Downey, head of the department of tourism for Pigeon Forge, took a preview tour of Truth Traveler and remarked, “WOW! is all I can say! Both are outstanding, and the building is beautiful! I don’t have a single doubt the attraction will be very well received by our city’s guests.”

The Truth Traveler venue in Pigeon Forge is located at 2680 Parkway, conveniently situated on the parkway across from The Island and a huge Ferris wheel.

Truth Traveler in Branson is being built in the former iconic Andy Williams Moon River Theater. Guests will be immersed in an experience from start to finish, beginning with a lively pre-show to set the narrative. Inside the VR bays, visitors will embark on a thrilling and inspiring journey. Afterward, guests will continue into a 1200-seat theater that will feature a tailored show, scheduled to play throughout the day, seamlessly enhancing and extending the VR narrative. Later this year, the nationally acclaimed performing group Logos On-Tour will stage The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

The Branson location is projected to open in August 2025.

Ham noted, “I’m excited that once again we are stepping out in faith to build these special attractions. This time we are taking them to where people are already—major tourist areas like Pigeon Forge and Branson.”

Answers in Genesis is an apologetics (i.e., Christianity-defending) ministry dedicated to enabling Christians to defend their faith. It is the ministry behind the world’s leading Christian themed attractions, the Ark Encounter with a life-size (510-foot-long) Noah’s Ark and the high-tech Creation Museum, both located in Northern Kentucky and visited by millions.
