quade 3 #3 January 24, 2010 Absolutely love how they are free to do things you could -never- get away with in the US without some nutcase going apeshit. Examples from the video; A couple fucking. A dead body at the bottom of a creek. A snowman taking a shit. A whorehouse. Brilliant.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #7 January 24, 2010 QuoteFixed that for you! Yea those parts would not be to great considering the % of kids that would be there. But to each there own. Ok, here's the thing, it looks like they're trying to show the widest range of human experience possible and with a little bit of humor. I'm nearly certain that if you examine the scale of this thing you'll recognize seeing any of those items listed would be analogous to standing on a hill top and looking over a city with a telescope. Most of those things actually can be seen in the real world, well, maybe not a snowman taking a dump, but you'd really have to take quite a bit of time to actually see them and you'd probably have to take some extraordinary measures at that. Nearly everything in the US is either "for kids" or "for adults." I think that's bullshit because what it means is you either end up with Teletubbies or Porn. Ok, maybe that isn't exactly correct, but you get the point, there's very little in the middle viewable by "humans" that shows the entire spectrum of reality.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnDeere 0 #8 January 24, 2010 I know were your coming from. Thats why I said to each there own. I have kids, I chose to "mostly" surround myself wife kid friendly things. Most would think that type of exhibit would be completely kid friendly. I dont think for one second that all things should be kid friendly.Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool!

wolfriverjoe 1,351 #10 January 25, 2010 Way cool. I'm guessing that the moving people are done with magnets under the floor. The cars look like "slot cars" but could be magnet operated too. My dad was part of a local model train club for years. He was more into the "train" part of it (he was the club mechanical guy), but they had a couple guys (and a woman) who were into doing the scenery/background/buildings. They had some pretty cool stuff."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

JohnMitchell 14 #13 January 25, 2010 That is amazing. I've always gotten a kick out of models: planes, trains, cars, etc. I could spend all day looking at that one. Looks like I'm going to have to make it to Hamburg someday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next time will really be a sight-seeing trip!

DavidB 0 #16 January 26, 2010 It's in "HO" scale. All computer controlled, so there is no "pattern" to repeat. The roadways have magnetic strips the vehicles follow & the computers again control them all. As they are battery powered, when the computer recognizes a vehicle not keeping up it directs it automatically to a recharging dock behind the scenes. The attraction opened after something like 9 months construction but is continuously added on to, so it's considerably larger than it was when it opened nearly 10 years ago. I believe it takes 15 minutes for the scene to go from daylight to night, & it is constantly on the change. Something similar in New Jersey (http://www.northlandz.com/) & the original in Pennsylvania (http://www.roadsideamericainc.com/).
