Gear up for the most exciting exhibit on four wheels! Monster Trucks: The Science of Extreme Machines opens at Omniplex October 4 and continues through April 4, 2004. Monster Trucks is a new one-of-a-kind exhibit on monster trucks and the science behind building and driving them.

Monster Trucks brings together the heart-pounding thrills and spills of motor sports with leading-edge science and technology. Kid-friendly interactive displays demonstrate the scientific principles that give these monster machines their remarkable power and make them safe for drivers and fans alike.

Visitors can climb into the cab of Grave Digger - superstar of the Monster Jam racing circuit - and watch video of spectacular crashes from actual monster truck events. Exhibit-goers also can learn real-life stories of the drivers; people as interesting as the vehicles themselves.

Recreated environments include the Monster Jam Theater; a display area featuring a real monster truck and large-screen video of actual truck crashes; the Grave Digger Climb-on; deconstructed truck drive train and interactive demonstrations of a suspension system in action.

Recreated settings also include hands-on displays about the 66-inch-high Terra Tire; the Monster Makeover on the artistic creation of truck artwork; Safety First; and an event timeline about the diverse individuals who make it all happen behind the scenes.

Monster Trucks: The Science of Extreme Machines was produced by Clear Channel Exhibitions and is sanctioned by Clear Channel Entertainment – Motor Sports. The 15,000-square-foot exhibit debuted at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, in May. Omniplex is just the second stop on a five-year, 12-city tour of major science centers and natural history museums across the United States.

Tickets to Monster Trucks: The Science of Extreme Machines are $12 for adults, $9 for seniors and $8 for children ages 3-12. Admission includes access to all Omniplex exhibit areas and a planetarium show. For just $4 for adults and $3.50 more for seniors and children, an OmniDome Theater film can be added to complete the experience. For additional information, please call 405.602.OMNI or visit www.omniplex.org.
