In reply:

It may surprise you to learn that Wisconsin Dells just keeps getting wetter
and wetter! A credit, perhaps, to three of the finest water-fun parks
anywhere--viz.:

*Noah's Ark (itself online at http://www.noahsarkwaterpark.com);

*Family Land (itself online at http://www.wisconsindells.com); and

*Riverview Park and Waterworld (online at http://www.riverviewpark.com).

You're welcome to visit those sites.

Plus: In addition to the celebrated Upper and Lower Dells Boat Tours, a local
entrepreneur has added jet-boat excursions into the Upper Dells, five times
daily! And the Ducks, you may like to know, are still going, as is Tommy
Bartlett's Thrill Show.

(Last summer, by the way, Tommy Bartlett's Robot World and Exploratory added
the original MIR Space Station, DIRECT FROM RUSSIA(!), for public display
there; you may have seen it on CNN in recent coverage dealing with the mishaps
on board MIR, and attempts to repair same. He's "gone online," too; the
website is http://www.tommybartlett.com.)

Anyhow, Wisconsin Dells just keeps getting better.

And I don't think you'd recognise much of it today. Except, perhaps, for the
Dells themselves.

(Wisconsin Dells information has "gone online," too! Be sure to visit the
Wisconsin Dells Visitor & Convention Bureau's Website,
http://www.wisdells.com, for all the latest, and to request particulars.)
