Establishing A Plumb Line
The Wonder SpotThis is the Wonder Spot, one of those mysterious vortexes parascience is so in love with. It was a lot of fun (because it was so stupid). And it was the cheapest attraction in the Dells!
In order to destroy the illusion that a ball rolls uphill, Cathy uses her camera strap to establish a plumb line. Using a protractor, one can see that the ramp is, in fact, inclined downward.
Paul "defies gravity" by being perched at an angle on the edge of a chair.
Paul continues to defy gavity even though he has left the influence of the Wonder Spot. What's going on here?
June has a tough lie. Adventure golf sucks! What ever happened to windmills and clown heads?
Paul "floats" inside a cave. Actually, hanging on a ledge of the wall.
The second stupidest attraction in the Dells (but very inspirational). A dozen scenes with fiberglass statues depicting stories from the New Testament.
Cathy, Anna Mae, June and Paul are inspired by the peaceful tranquility of the gardens.
One statue was set up for photo ops. This is what happens when you get carried away by inspiration.
You get to float around in a tank of water firing a tennis ball cannon at your friends! A laugh riot!
Paul discovers "treasure"! A semi-precious stone found in the mud and gravel floating down the sluice.
June doing her famous "Life Imitates Art".
Is the statue anatomically correct?
Hey, ya get to look at a bunch of rocks! Paul sporting new Autralian hat.
Paul sporting new coonskin cap.
Big fiberglass statues! Note alligator on a stick. Paul can't resist stupid souvineers.
June is the one on the right.
"Life Imitating Art" again.
Who Ever Heard Of A Pink Coon?
Paul models a very fashionable coonskin cap. Did manage to resist buying this one!
Stupidest attraction ever dreamed up! It's so bad even little kids don't like it!
If it had a golf course, it might be worth while.
Scary train engineer. Anna Mae meant to say "That's the guy that looks like Gary Dotson" (famous Illinois loser - but harmless). But it came out "Gary Dahmer" (very embarrasing to joke about in Wisconsin!)
Note the crowd! We had the whole park to ourselves! Yes, it really is that bad!
June shows off her equestrian skills on the electric camel (only a quarter!)
Paul, ever the smartass, tries to ride the camel sidesaddle. And promptly goes ass-over-tip and nearly kills himself!!!
