AMC is sending the “Breaking Bad” bus to the Florida State Fair.

Don’t worry. It’s not the Meth Lab from the drama.

It’s a “Breaking Bad” mobile theater that serves as a traveling billboard and providess fans with an “immersive experience.” That’s what the news release says.

The “Breaking Bad” Screening Lab is in a 53-foot-long bio-diesel truck that includes an HD theater that expands to hold 90 people. Wall murals that feature characters Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) flank the theater-type seating.

Once inside, participants are shown an introductory video to Walter White, followed by a 6-minute, 30-second “Breaking Bad” video that encapsulates the previous two seasons and teases to the upcoming third season, which begins March 21 at 10 p.m.

Created by writer/producer/director Vince Gilligan (“The X-Files”), “Breaking Bad” follows Walter White, a milquetoast high school chemistry teacher who discovers he is dying of lung cancer.

Desperate to secure his family’s financial future, Walt teams up with a former student, Jesse Pinkman, to turn a used RV into a mobile drug lab.
