Tucked away at the back of the Forum Shops is a magnificent hall that centers around a 50,000 gallon aquarium (home to over 600 species of fish). Every hour on the hour from 10am-11pm, a great throne rises from the center of the waters. Its occupant, one of the ancient Roman gods, tells the tale of how his children fought for -- and ultimately destroyed -- the continent of Atlantis. The audioanimatronics are the most advanced ever created, which is amazing since the show is free to the public.

OBS

El término "animatronics" se suele traducir por "animatrónica". Sin embargo, en lengua castellana no existen equivalentes para las unidades "audioanimatronics" o "audio animatronics". Por este motivo, siguiendo los criterios de formación adoptados en términos como por ejemplo "audiovisual" o "audiométro" se ha propuesto la unidad "audioanimatrónicos".
