Wisconsin's "Wonder Spot" To Close

This story has been making the news services with surprising frequency the last few days:

http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles...00010000000001

I had been to the Wonder Spot a few times in my life. It was basically the same thing as Knott's Berry Farm's old (now gone) "Haunted Shack" attraction.

I always loved these kinds of roadside amusements. Such simple pleasures. Sad to see so many of them headed into the "remember when" file.

I miss the Haunted Shack at Knott's it was very simple but cool at the same time.

Is the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz still open?

You know...there's actually a small slice from these gravity-defying places in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. It's the "Magnetic Mystery Mine" on Tom Sawyer Island. Through tricking the eye via a slant-perspective cave...cave water in this section appears to flow uphill.
