The Ark is depicted as part of the Truth Traveler's tour through time. The new attraction is located in Pigeon Forge.

Visitors to Pigeon Forge can now take a virtual reality tour of the Garden of Eden and other destinations mentioned in the Bible at Truth Traveler located at 2680 Parkway in Pigeon Forge.

Time travelers are greeted with a friendly tour guide who will take them through the Inventor’s lab where they meet the man who created the time traveling ship that will take them into the past. Entering the Inventor’s lab before launch of the time pod, the time travelers are introduced to two holographic images known The Inventor and his granddaughter, Rae. They explain the concept of time travel and what they hope travelers will discover on their journey. Then they are introduced to a droid that will guide them on their journey. His name is POD.

Following the introduction, the time travelers are escorted by guides who take them to the time travel ships that will send them careening through time and space to a distant past. Before take-off, each visitor is fitted with a special helmet that allows them to see their surroundings in and immerses them in a realistic full 5-d experience with graphics that are almost lifelike and makes the visitor feel as though they are in the midst of Biblical history as it unfolds.

POD is the name of the droid that takes attendees to a virtual reality tour through the cosmos and through time.

Within moments the travelers find themselves being transported to a launch station. The ride simulates movement which makes the riders feel as if they are on an elevator. The craft, piloted by POD, takes off at light speed and the stars on the screen in front of the ship appear as streaks across space. Minutes later the ship slows as it nears the Garden of Eden where the scent of flowers fills the air, and the gentle breeze from the river caresses the faces of the time traveling adventurers.

Within moments thee journey transports travelers from Eden to other various destinations including Bethlehem where they experience the birth of the Christ child. Then to Calvary where the crucifixion took place. Moments later, the travelers are transported back to modern times. At which time they have the option of attending a presentation in the planetarium, where they learn about the stars and planets and the wonders of the universe.

Each of the two experiences are approximately 18-20 minutes long. Afterwards guests may enter the gift shop to peruse an assortment of Christian themed souvenirs.
