Boo! Hiss! I was there, and didn't realize it was 3D - I thought it was *just*
smells, etc., so I didn't watch the movie.

That was an *extremely* unusual place - I think it was only open for a short
time - I would roughly guess it was 8-10 years ago.

They just opened a Hard Rock Cafe in the same building - I don't know anything
about it.

For the 3D photographer visiting the Inner Harbor:
 - The Constellation (sister ship to the Constitution) is still in dry dock
     elsewhere, being renovated.
 - There are often outdoor acts - juggling, etc.
 - The National Aquarium is there - great critters, but hard to photograph.
 - The Maryland Science Center has an IMAX theater (only 2D, I think).

And probably some other stereophotographable things I forgot to mention.
