Cheesiest Places You've Went On Vacation...

[Ozzman313]

Piegon Forge, Tennesse...so many stupid "country shows" and about 500 Go-Kart tracks

[pac-man]

Been there. Some hot sauce shop in Gatlinburg had the fucking hottest sauce on the planet. But yeah, it's pretty lame overall. I hear Dollywood is fun.

[Kitsa]

My parents went to Dollywood and said it was all run down and crappy, which was a disappointment to me because I adored Dolly Parton when I was little. :(

Niagara Falls varies in awesomeness. If you go to the American side, it sucks. You've got, like, a park and Nabisco.

[Sacks]

I guess Luckenbach, TX. Unless Disney World is cheesy.

[Sam]

WISCONSIN :rolleyes

[Mockery]

Pigeon Forge is definitely up there... we stopped there on our big cross country road trip. You can see some photos of it on this page:

Actually, pretty much everywhere we went on that road trip was amusingly cheesy in some way or another. Roswell... the Dr. Pepper museum... Clines Corners... etc, etc.

Where the hell did you go in Wisconsin? I lived in the Milwaukee area for a while and hated it, but the Madison area is awesome.

[Tadao]

It was a Cheesy joke Kitsa.

[Ozzman313]

DollyWood was actually great!
Gatlinburg was ehh...

We're working on it. There's a boat you can take behind the falls now. And a whole new shipment of homeless people.

[Kitsa]

Tadao...oh, I get it.

I was carried away by my bad memories of the Milwaukee area.

[Sam]

:rolleyes

South of the Border. It was pretty gross when I was there, in the mid-70's.

Virginia Beach is a shithole.....

[Kitsa]

Next month I'm going to the Jelly Belly factory. Word is that they have a tram with jellybean-shaped cars and that the candy is made in giant cement-mixer looking things.

I gots to see that shit.

I've never been anywhere nearly as depressing as Atlantic City.

[Kitsa]

I was at Atlantic City once and two of those chair-pusher guys got in a fight. It was about the only awesome thing that happened there.

As I am from a city that boasts the largest Nickel in the world as well as the largest freestanding smoke stack, I've always made it a habit - wherever I go -to visit giant roadside attractions. North of Sudbury is a Giant Hitchhiking Sasquatch (Vermillion Bay) and a UFO(Moonbeam), a giant perogi as well as a giant polar bear are around here as well. I think the strangest and most impressive big thing I've ever seen was a giant sausage in Alberta. I went out of my way to see it and the juvenile jokes it inspired made it well worth the trip.

I think in my travels across Canada, I've stopped at at least 300 - 400 giant roadside attractions. In the States, I tend to stop off at historic diners and every roadside museum I see.

I've actually gone out of my way several times just to see some big cheesy thing.

[Kitsa]

Yes, but do you have the giant foam Jesus (http://www.jeeeb.us/)? ;P

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Though the place is really loosing its cheesy run-down charm, especially since they tore down the Pavillion amusement park.

I was probably at that particular shop myself. I wasn't 18 yet so I wasn't allowed to sample the hottest of the sauces :rolleyes

Gatlinburg was pretty gay though. They kept playing "Thriller" in the Hard Rock Cafe >:

[LordSappington]

Don't you scowl at Thriller

[pac-man]

You'd scowl if you heard it in Gatlinburg. BTW, I'm currently is Las Vegas, and while it's far from the cheesiest place I've ever gone on vacation, I definitely wish I was here back when the mob ran the place.

EDIT: Sin City is by no means cheesy, but it's like a big ass amusement park. Which is cool on the one hand, because it's tailor made for having fun, but sucks on the other because I hate lines, children, and paying too much for simple shit. Now that I think about it, I've never been on an out-and-out cheesy vacation. But the shittiest stop/part of a vacation/roadside attraction was a roadside reptile farm back when I was a kid. It wasn't our destination, but from the road it seemed as if it were worth a look. Turned out that most of the animals were rescued, so my family and I got to see jacked-up snakes, scarred lizards, and retired lab monkeys. Thank god they didn't have a petting zoo.

Rog, I was reading through your story when I noticed something wild in this photo:

That boy has his hand up his father's ass. It's up there, man.

[Kitsa]

Wow, you're right.

Whenever we really appreciate something, we tend to make a giant oversized model of it. :)

For me, seeing as I haven't been a lot of places, would have to go to Niagara Falls. Some of the stuff there is very cheesy.

Their "Famous Criminals" museum has had dust on the displays since I was a little girl. I remember being amazed to go back at around 23 and see that they still hadn't been cleaned.
