VANDALIA -- It took millions of dollars and years of planning, but the largest entertainment in the country is now open in Vandalia. We were there for day two of business for Scene75, and within minutes of the doors opening there was already a line to get in."We've been waiting for this for a long time in our area. It's going to be a great thing for the kids," said Bob Stuart of Vandalia."The enthusiasm we've seen is certainly encouraging," said owner, Jonah SandlerSandler has been working to open the 124, 000 square foot facility for years. With millions invested and more than 100 people employed, a lot is on the line to keep the doors open. However, at first glance, it appears people have plenty of confidence and support for the country's largest entertainment facility, which also happens to feature the state's biggest indoor go-cart track."I think there will be enough people around that it'll keep this building filled. I know our family will be back," Stuart said.Scene75 also has the largest laser tag facility in the tri-state, which they're expecting to be a huge hit with both birthday parties and corporate events."This is good for us because in the winter months, we're bored a lot and don't have a lot to do so this will be good for us in the future," said Bonnie Davis, who was at Scene75 with her family.Boredom is an almost impossible option at Scene75. There is also black light putt-putt, bumper cars, and a massive bounce room. Right now an official grand opening isn't scheduled. Scene75 will be open Wednesday and Thursday from 3-10pm. Hours for this weekend haven't been determined yet.
