Advertising tone

edit

The current version reads like an advertisement, like the maintenence template at the top says. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it was largely copyvio, too. I haven't checked, because it needs major revisions even if it's not, but I just have a feeling based on other copyvios I've seen in the past. I propose that the entire article be reverted back to before Eromanaux's edits, and then any vital information be added back in. Does anyone object to this somewhat radical course of action? --Icarus (Hi!) 00:40, 16 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Largest IMAX dome

edit

The statement that LCS has the largest IMAX dome contradicts IMAX, which lists the Adlab-IMAX in Mumbai (30 m = 98 ft diameter according to [1], vs 88 ft = 27 m) as a larger screen. Also, the China Science and Technology Museum reportedly opened a 30 m IMAX dome in January 2010 ([2], [3]). Furthermore, the article IMAX mentions that Telus World of Science in Canada has the same diameter as LCS, which explains that the LCS homepage itself advertises the dome as the largest in the US and not even North America. -- Ylai (talk) 06:18, 2 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Out of date

edit

The Traveling Exhibit is out of date. It's been well over a year since Mammoths and Mastodons left and there have been several exhibits since then.

Extended content

History

edit

However, the amount of exhibit space slightly decreased with the expansion as all the new space added is open space such as queue lines.

Exhibits

edit
  • Travelling exhibitions – Various temporary exhibits
    • The first exhibit since the center re-opened was Islamic Science Re-Discovered.
    • Goose Bumps! The Science of Fear let guests see how they would react when they were exposed to creepy animals, loud noises, electric shock and the fear of falling. The exhibit explored why their bodies react the way they do.
  • Infection Connection – Helps guests understand how individual actions may affect global health issues. Guests may ride the IC Express, which shows a film about different types of infectious diseases.
  • I Explore – An age-restricted area, where guests under age six and their caregivers can explore aspects of the world around them through water play, a microscope, a Luckey Climber climbing structure, a street scape, and a rock xylophone – made from hanging rocks that ring like bells when struck.
  • Our Hudson Home – Teaches guests about the wildlife and ecology of the Hudson River. It includes an open-air observation deck providing views of the Hudson River and the surrounding area.
  • Wonder Why – Holds many of the original exhibits from the earliest days of the museum
  • Energy Quest – Explores different energy types and the technologies to harness these.
  • Wildlife Challenge is a seasonal outdoor exhibit in which guests can take part in a variety of physical activities, designed to simulate different animals' environments. Activities include balance beams, and a zip line accessible only to guests that can hold on to a rope for at least ten seconds.

Sci Tech Scity proposal

edit

Sci Tech Scity was expected to attract top scientists and researchers from around the world, while also educating Jersey City's next generation of leaders in those fields. The project was expected to include a biotech lab, a coding lab, a technology business incubator, and a K–12 STEM-focused public school.[citation needed]
