In the Exhibit
Your very first steps into the exhibit will immerse you in the MythBusters world. Enter the giant corrugated "shipping container" like ones the MythBusters use for containing—or as shelter from—their combustible experiments. (To find it, just look for the tail of an airplane overhead—it's the one used to test whether a chainsaw could shred a plane.) Make your way through classic MythBusting props and gadgets like the jet pack, the 20-foot-long mechanical shark, and the "buried alive" coffin. Yep, it’s confirmed: you're now in MythBusters territory.
