Ripley's Aquarium hosts Thrill the World Event

Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies will host “Thrill the World,” a worldwide attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the largest simultaneous dance with Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” on October 24 at 8:30pm.

Actress Ola Ray, who is best known for portraying Jackson’s girlfriend in the “Thriller” video, will be on hand to lead the dancers in the “Thrill the World” dance at the aquarium.

Last year, on Oct. 25, 2008, 4,179 people from 10 nations (Australia, Canada, England, Germany, Ireland, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, Scotland, United States of America, and Wales) simultaneously performed The Thriller Dance as part of the Thrill The World event.

Join the dance party and be apart of a world record event at Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg.
