Who likes Rock City?

[Shakespeare]

1. We drove past it a brazillion times when I was little, but never stopped.

Never saw Ruby Falls, either. I feel so deprived. :cry:

[darkstar]

2. Don't think we ever drove past it,

but damn if these barn signs weren't all over Missouri and Arkansas while I was growing up and traveling around those parts. In fact, I'm not sure Ive ever met anyone IRL who has really been there.

With lots of those old roadside barns gone now, it's weird how nostalgic I am for those signs some days.

:hi:

4. I DO I DO

We used to drive to FL on family vacations every year when we were kids. Poiuyt and I used to whine and beg for miles, nay, states until poiuytdad would stop the family station wagon so we could see it.

"Don't touch the display."

[darkstar]

6. "for miles, nay, states"

:rofl:

[Poiuyt]

7. Fat Man's Squeeze

I was small and skinny when we went to Rock City. I'm not so sure I'd be able to fit through Fat Man's Squeeze anymore -



PS - I don't know who the girl is in this image

"DON'T TOUCH THE DISPLAY!!"

5. Wall Drugs was pretty cool too

back in the early '60's.

8. I remember being creeped out by the "Cowboy Orchestra"

Full sized animatronics singing North to Alaska

10. Holy crap!!! Those are creepy looking!

Does the guy on the left have green slime coming out of his mouth?

And the eyes!!!! :scared:

Did that puppet maker never hear about fucking eyelids for fucks sake?

[Poiuyt]

11. Just try to imagine those guys singing to you when you're 8 years old!

[alphafemale]

13. I can't really. I even warned my kids about "The Hall of Presidents"

and "Carousel of Progress" at Disney, being a tad jeepers-creepers.

I can't imagine finding those those lidless wonders as being remotely entertaining.

15. Keep in mind, Bro

that you and I had just left Disneyland, which made everything look pretty weak.

9. I do, but I've never seen the one in the South.

I like this one on Mt. Diablo in California:

14. Believe it or not, my family actually owns a "See Rock City" barn.

We get a check for about $4 a year from Rock City. It's a fucking gold mine I tells ya'!!
