OK, I'm on a Lileks kick today, but this is just too funny.

Journey to the WI Dells to visit a land of enchantment!

Has it been torn down, paved over, and turned into a strip mall?

There's a Storybook Island in Rapid City, SD.

Looks like the one at Wisconsin Dells was there until 2011. Link

Does it make anyone else suspicious that where magic happens is in quotes? I suspect John Wayne Gacy may have uttered that phrase.

There's a Land of Oz in Beech Mountain, NC. I went there when I was a kid.

Keeping to the topic of WI spots to visit, I could have sworn that the "Circus World" was totally shut down. As a kid, I visited there and it was a dump.

Apparently, it is alive and well.

Hell, it's a historic site!

Am I the only person here who suffered through "Dutch Wonderland" as a child?

They had the "Dutch Wonder House" where you sit there and they twirl the house, furnishings and all, around you. Talk about a bad ride to sit on after a crappy lunch...

I got stuck with the Bear Mtn. Oktoberfest every fall. Fun times with college friends.
