Frommer's Review
Adults may get the bigger charge out of the waxy stars -- Dustin Hoffman and Dallas Cowboy coach Tom Landry are among the latest to be added to an impressive array -- and some of the oddities collected by the globe-trotting Mr. Ripley, but there's plenty for kids to enjoy at this twofer attraction. The walk-through wax Theater of Horrors, although tame compared to Friday the 13th-type adventures, usually elicits some shudders. At Believe It or Not, youngsters generally get a kick out of learning about people around the world whose habits -- such as sticking nails through their noses -- are even weirder than their own.
