Visitors taking a holiday in Florida are being advised to check out the new Stormstruck attraction at Epcot.
The new exhibit will replicate the sights, sounds and fury of 2004's Hurricane Charley in an attempt to educate people about home safety, reports the Orlando Sentinel.
Using the latest technology and 3-D glasses, the show features the impact of the hurricane on two houses and how people can take steps to ensure their own homes do not face a similar fate.
Epcot is one of a number of theme parks on offer to visitors taking a Florida holiday and is also a firm favourite with local residents living around and about Florida. Last year, Epcot welcomed nearly 11 million guests and is the sixth-most visited theme park in the world.
As well as the new Stormstruck exhibition, at Epcot people can visit Mission: SPACE, a simulator thrill ride that aims to replicate an astronaut's experience, or take a walk around the Land Pavilion which examines how humans interact with their surroundings.
