ha what on earth?

TheCrew · 02-13-2006, 05:50 PM

i was looking at this urban legends site and one of the things said

"The Legend: If the submarine lagoon is ever drained, the Matterhorn will fall over.
Behind the Legend: Now what kind of sense would that make? Could you imagine an engineer allowing such a situation to exist? The fact of the matter is, if the lagoon is drained the Matterhorn sinks a couple of feet and that's it."

thats kinda funny cuz they did drain the submarine ride and i dont think it sunk at all

The lagoon is drained and the Matterhorn hasn't moved. Think about it. Water isn't going to hold anything up.

I think the soil compresses. On something the size of the Matterhorn, you won't notice a sinking of "a couple of inches".
