Samnmax221 Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 Just to help calm every body down I'll remiind you of the fun of the 1st and hopefully not only ggame. Minnesota (My home) does own the worlds largest ball of twine and Iowa has one to. Just an interesting tidbit It'v attached the picture here (no I don't know who the hell the guy in the picture is) If anybosy actualy gives a damn I can show another picture
Dr Edison 007 Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 Amazing, what town is it in? I thought all the stuff in the game was made up, maybe they are just slight exaggerations.
Chron-O-John Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 You fool! You should know that most of the odd sites are real and the locales are pretty much on point. However, they may be somewhat exagerated. Which makes Sam and Max fall into the category of educational. EDUTAINMENT should be brought to the market not blowing up wookies!
Skinkie Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 Wait... how can you and Iowa both the the largest ball of twine? Who's is bigger? That's what really matters.
Samnmax221 Posted March 26, 2004 Author Posted March 26, 2004 They both claim to have the largest but you know how hicks are Minnesota: Darwin Iowa: Cawlker or something like that Heres the iowa one
Samnmax221 Posted April 1, 2004 Author Posted April 1, 2004 I'v discovered real life places for allmost all of the locations even the world of fish but it's in wishconeson
Skinkie Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 That Mount Rushmore one is fake isn't it? Please tell me it is. If we've gone that low, I don't know if I could live with myself.
Samnmax221 Posted April 1, 2004 Author Posted April 1, 2004 No of course theirs no Mount Rushmore comrade
misanthrope Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Actually, I think they've recently torn down Mount Rushmore to make space for a new mountain. But then again, Jar Jar didnt make any sense either.
Dalixam Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 The Mystery Vortex place also exists. I haven't been there, but I saw it on TV once. It wasn't as spetacular as in the game, but a broom could stand on it's own. There was also a spot where people got a few inches shorter if they stood there. There was some more as well, but I can't remember. Did some research and it's in Oregon. Here's a website about it.
Dr Edison 007 Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Okay,regret that I pretended to be so amazed (when I was actually slightly interested) at the beginning of this topic because it made me look like a damned idiot. Oh, and for other real places, Snuckey's is obviously a non-copyright infringing version of Stuckeys. If you don't believe me (I don't know why you would, though) go here .
toenail1 Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 that mystery vortex is fake. check out the photos on their site. the one guy is clearly taller in rela life, and then when they go to make the board level they put the tall guy on the side that's supposed to make you seem taller. its just a cheap tourist attraction. although i want to go, just because of HTR.
Dr Edison 007 Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 I'v discovered real life places for allmost all of the locations even the world of fish but it's in wishconeson Do you know if a Woody Allen-ish man is the only guy working there?
Skinkie Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Ok, I think I need to restate my part, that bungee-jumping and robotic dinosaur emporium isn't real is it? I could research it, but I rather leave it to someone without a life... This means you.
Samnmax221 Posted April 2, 2004 Author Posted April 2, 2004 OOOH ME Pick ME ME! OH I thought your were kidding around and yes there is a mystery vortex tat relys on crapp speicle effects. In fact their are mystery places every where there are 2 in the wischonson dells one where water manages to flow up hill and a White House replica turned upside down.
JBlink Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 I live about 1/2 hour to that place. Went once, it was horribly lame. In Wisconsin we have a Mystery Vortex, a World of Fish, several carnivals, and a place called "house on a rock" that has a little bit of all the things in the game. Im pretty damn sure that Bumpisville does not exist, but I can swear that I have been to frog rock.
Dr Edison 007 Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 I've been to a place in Tennessee that was supposed to be Willy Nelson's house and that was actually a lot like Bumpusville, with a singing animatronic Willy and his records up on the wall and such. And, no Mt. Rushmore doesn't have bungee jumping or dinosaurs. All you can do there is gaze at the president's heads and do things related to gazing at the presidents heads.
toenail1 Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 When I was little we went to some crappy road side place that had robotic dinosaurs. I found it amazing back then, but now I know it sucked. All of those places ARE based on real places (granted, they are changed).
Samnmax221 Posted April 3, 2004 Author Posted April 3, 2004 Well J blink you gotta keep toursit happy if not terribly ignorant. Wischonson Dells probebly has the most water parks in one spot. And three of them all say they have the biggest indoor and out door. Not to mention 40 dollar steaks I did'nt order. Damn that's expensive. I'll get one of those world of fish pictures for you.
