WonderWorks on the way at Broadway Beach in Myrtle Beach

Sun News - Inside a trailer at Broadway at the Beach, construction workers sit around a table littered with blueprints. On the walls, artists renderings show what might look impossible at first: a building that looks as if its been uprooted and placed on its roof.  Just outside, that fantastical building is becoming a reality. WonderWorks, an upside-down science attraction, is roughly halfway finished and on track for its March opening, said Jackie Vasquez, director of sales and marketing for WonderWorks.  "Structurally, it's all there," Vasquez said.   The four-story building that was a skeleton about two months ago is now covered in yellow insulation and the fake stone exterior will start to go up by mid-January, Vasquez said.  "Once that all happens we'll be able to play inside and move all the exhibits in," she said while standing in what will be the ropes course and laser tag area. "It all happens pretty fast."  Once complete, there will be a build-your-own roller coaster exhibit, hurricane simulator, illusion gallery and video arcade among other exhibits, she said.  The attraction will also begin hiring in late January or early February to fill about 100 to 120 positions, General Manager Robert Stinnett said.  Positions include exhibit attendants, retail associates, cafe staff and ropes course staff, he said, and applications are available at WonderWorksOnline.com/myrtle-beach.
