Lake Buena Vista, Florida -- Disney has opened its newest exhibit, a hurricane simulator at Epcot which aims to teach visitors how to better protect their homes ahead of dangerous storms.
Meteorologists and emergency management experts were among the first to experience the exhibit Tuesday morning before it was opened to the public later in the afternoon.
The experience includes a "4-D" movie which puts participants in the middle of a massive storm. They're then quizzed on the best ways to protect their homes, and the answers are later put to the test.
There's also an interactive area for children to learn about storms and how to put together an emergency storm kit.
Disney Imagineers worked with the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes, the National Weather Service and other expert groups on the project. Organizers say by doing simple things before a storm hits, people can lose less money and lives can be saved.
