It is contained within a large glass dome, and offers various rides and attractions including the Canyon Blaster and El Loco roller coasters, a rock climbing wall, an 18-hole miniature golf course, a video game arcade, and carnival-type games.

The dome itself consists of over 350,000 sq ft (33,000 m2) of pink tinted, insulated glass over a teal green space frame (to minimize structural poles inside).

Veldon Simpson was the architect,[3] and Arrow Dynamics was hired to design and build several of the rides.

[9] The building's dome design was created entirely out of pink tinted glass, with each pane weighing approximately 300 lb (140 kg).

The dome itself consists of over 350,000 sq ft (33,000 m2) of pink insulated glass placed over a teal green frame.

[10][12][13] It featured river-rapid rides, two lagoonlike pools, a lazy creek and a re-creation of a pueblo.

[13] Grand Slam Canyon was initially popular, but visitors often expressed their desire for more things to do.

Tom Nolan, the vice president of theme park operations at Adventuredome, suggested that "it was a [matter] of what people wanted versus what they could do" and added that "there were a lot of animatronics, a lot of theming, but people said there weren't enough things to do.

"[12] Following the feedback, the park was closed for 45 days beginning in April 1994 to remodel,[12][15] adding $15 million in new attractions.

[15] Near the laser tag arena, for example, management added a rock climbing wall and a miniature golf course.

[19][20] The theme park is climate-controlled,[14] and this helped it succeed over its rival, MGM Grand Adventures, which was outdoors and struggled during the hot summer months in Las Vegas.

[21] The Adventuredome began offering IMAX film rides in 1998,[22][23] including one based on the animated series ReBoot.

[37] The project, modeled after Knott's Scary Farm, was intended to boost attendance during October, which was usually a poor month for visitation as children return to school.

Nine of the theme park's rides, aimed at younger children, were closed during the Fright Dome event, in an effort to appeal to an older demographic.

[45] USA Today considered Fright Dome to be among the top 10 haunted house attractions in the U.S.[46] In 2014, the Travel Channel ranked Fright Dome as the second best haunted attraction in the country, and another location was opened that year in Hong Kong.
