INDIANA BONES AND 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m and 3:00 p.m. Monday-Friday Dr. Bones knows all about dinosaurs and has had adventures all over the world looking for what they've left behind. This much is clear from his current show, Kingdom of the Camarasaur. But there's a lot of other scientific knowledge stuffed under that famous hat! In our newest public show, Survival Science Spectacular, Indy shows how putting that knowledge of science to work has gotten our hero out of some pretty tough scrapes and saved the paleontologist's skin. What did Dr. Bones do when his disabled ship was about to be crushed against the rocks of a dangerous coast during the night? Or, how did our hero live to tell of a drop from the top of a towering bridge into the gaping mouth of death that was the river gorge below? When he was in the greedy grasp of quicksand up to his neck, or on the verge of being consumed by a hungry tornado of fire, or about to be attacked by his arch enemy swooping down on the roaring blades of a deadly helicopter...how did science help him survive? Survival Science Spectacular is an exciting story told to us through fun and amazing demonstrations. |
