    Originally, that place was called The Southwestern Historical Wax Museum. The building was built to resemble an old western town building. Not only did it have wax figures depicting old West scenes, but it also had a huge collection of authentic guns actually owned by heroes and outlaws of the old West. The "death car" used in the 1960's version of Bonnie and Clyde with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunnaway was there too. The building had no fire suppression system and in 1988 a fire broke out that ended up destroying the building. At first, it was thought to be an accident, but it was part of a murder cover up of some sort that has yet to be solved.

      I agree, our nurses and doctors have been fighting for a small pay rise for years now, and they recently gave Charles a 45% pay rise, he hasn't done anything since he became King yet!

  • @BennyLlama39
    @BennyLlama39 Před rokem +9

    Is it my imagination, or are some of the wax figures in these places hit-or-miss? For example, I saw the Potter Trio and wondered if the figures were based on stunt performers instead of the actors themselves.

    I’ve been there once when I was little. Because it’s been so long, I’m not surprised how much has changed since my first (and last) visit.
    I also noticed the Tornado Alley section is apparently no more. I feel sorry for those who enjoyed that section in the past, but I also feel glad that I won’t have to worry about being internally traumatized by that section again, even though mom and I were lucky enough to find a chicken exit path to bypass the wind tunnel!
    Maybe someday, I should go visit again, just for old time’s sake?

    I always stop by to see what you are up to. Why did Harry Potter look like a 45-year-old accountant? The Donald Trump looked super weird too. The Disney hall of Presidents Trump is also strange…like last year’s left over Jack o lantern.

    Great video again but I don't think the waxworks look anything like the real people, compared to those at Madame Tussauds in London and throughout the world. It looks like a cheap copy.

  • @LittlezombieRocker
    @LittlezombieRocker Před rokem

    I remember going here as a kid with my cousins when i was like 5 or 6. There used to be next to the Biblical section, some horror themed section. Basically different signs on the walls with arrows saying which section was scariest. I think we entered the horror section and saw medieval torture or what not but I just remember being traumatized in fear from it as well as seeing Jesus on the cross.

    The quality really varies, doesn’t it? You can have John Cena looking like he’s about to come to like or The Rock looking like Dave Bautista.
