A new virtual experience telling some of the most epic stories of the Bible is heading to Branson next March.

A press conference Tuesday at the Andy Williams Moon River Theater further unveiled plans announced earlier this year of the transformation of the theater first opened in 1992 to the new virtual experience by the current owners of the theater, Mindscape Creative.

Speakers at the press conference included Ken Ham, Founder CEO of Answers in Genesis, the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, which will be producing the shows at the attraction which will include a custom-animated 5D Virtual Reality ride that transports guests back in
time to experience pivotal moments in biblical history for those entering the facility plus experiences in the main theater itself. 

One additional announcement made at the press conference was an agreement to present shows based on "The Chronicles of Narnia" once the facility opens next year.
