A little positive press from the March 2 Time Magazine on Imax's new thrill ride in Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas: Your mission from the Gods, should you choose to accept it, is to fly a hurtling chariot past crashing boulders and evil goblins to win the Race for Atlantis. It may be just an optical illusion, but the new attraction at Las Vegas' Caesar's Palace is a real breakthrough, the first ride to marry the computer-generated gyrations of a state-of-the-art motion simulator with the immersive wide-screen splendor of an IMAX film. For $9.50, racers wearing 3-D headsets are enveloped in fog and 14,000 watts of digital sound for 6 min. of stomach-churning visceral reality that puts shame to its crosstown rival, Star Trek: The Experience. Even the gods would be impressed. There is also a spectacular looking picture of the thrill ride. Being in Vegas and with the stellar review, you can guarantee that this attraction will do some serious business. -nk
