Would anyone reading this take a tour of a Cryonics facility ?

I was reading a list of things to do in Phoenix indoors during the summertime and one suggestion was visiting the Alcor Life Extension facility. The place gained some notoriety a couple of decades back because Ted Williams kids put him there even though Ted Williams wished to be cremated. Apparently he is still there. The facility offers free tours once a week. I am sure there is a hard sell when touring the facility . I have no interest in visiting the place but was wondering if anyone would tour such a place.

Or is anyone interested in being "facilitated" at such a place ? To be honest, my knowledge of the science and process involved is limited but it seems very creepy to me.

I wouldn't be interested in being "stored" there but I think it would be interesting to do a tour.

Maybe I'm just being closed minded about taking the tour. I just get a Scooby Doo vibe just thinking about it for some reason.
 

A cool place to chill!

I think I read somewhere that Walt Disney is in one of those cylinders. He thinks they will have a cure for many of the diseases people have died with and will be able to be brought back to life.

What’s The Purpose Of Cryonics?​

"A common question we receive, especially from people encountering Biostasis aka Cryonics for the first time, is: “but why?”. What’s the big purpose behind human cryopreservation? Why do people decide to have their legally dead or, as we prefer to say, “biologically paused” bodies stored upside down in liquid nitrogen for possibly centuries? In this article, we try to clarify Tomorrow’s main purposes and some of the “whys” that moved our members to sign up for biostasis. Maybe you'll relate to some of these reasons." (READ MORE)
 
@CallMeKate , Probably the usual gift shop stuff, like you get you pic taken and then they print it up on t shirt where the person is the featured entree in a tv dinner. A miniature cryo tube that's a desk top thermometer. Baseball caps with Birdseye and Stouffers logos.

As for snacks, fries and onion rings are good, and since they'd be fried from a frozen state they wouldn't need a separate freezers. I'm sure there would be a good selection of iced drinks as well as deluxe slushies for the kid in all of us.
 
I would take the tour. I think it would be interesting to see the process but would have no interest in having myself placed there.
