Received from Riverview Park and Waterworld just today, a response to an e-mail sent them en bloc in connexion with Another of My Online Ventures in weblog form:

Hi Larry, I just wanted to let you know that as of now, Waterworld will not be opening next year. There is a possibility of the go-carts opening, but nothing is for sure yet. Thank you for your patronage & we hope to see you in the future. Jill

For starters, could you just imagine a Wisconsin Dells T-shirt being worn by the famous Peeing Boy of Brussels (Mannekin-Pis), and managing to attract attention in the Belgian capital (not to mention headquarters of the European Union) in the process? Or, for that matter, a Wisconsin Dells T-shirt being fitted onto Liverpool's statue of Eleanor Rigby? But then again, on the other hand, don't look for a Wisconsin Dells-themed perfume or… Continue

First off, Your Correspondent graciously apologises for not having taken too much time with DellsSpace all this time; I admit he's been rather busy with a lot of other things running across his mind, but he still wants it known that he still cares about the Waterpark Capital. In any case, this being the Memorial Day long weekend, this pretty much marks the traditional start of the summer season in The Once and Future Waterpark Ca… Continue

In case you're wondering how to contribute to the cause of saving Lake Delton: Donations can be made payable to the Village of Lake Delton (with "Lake Delton Restoration Fund" noted in the Memo line), and sent to:

Every penny will certainly help. Continue

Credit the recent and unprecedented heavy rains of the weekend for causing the outright collapse of Lake Delton this morning (Monday, 9 June) and its draining into the Wisconsin River by way of a freshet across saturated lowlands, in turn closing a part of County Road A. The Dell Creek Dam, which created Lake Delton in 1927, is still holding; however, the next big problem is what might happen if the Mirror Lake Dam downstream fails, in turn draining Mirror Lake and sending its waters into Lake… Continue

For the first time since 2003, visitor information will NOT be available over the airwaves in and around Wisconsin Dells--the AM such, in particular. WDLS-AM (900 kHz/333 metres) gave up on its "Your Vacation Station" idea, from studios in downtown Wisconsin Dells, @ the end of last season, switching to a satellite-delivered country/western programme, after four seasons of trying to mix visitor information (in some cases, supplied by actual visitors invited to the studios on Broad… Continue

Longtime slogan of Stanton's Motel: "For People Who Care." Slogan of Monsters, Inc. (as in the Disney/Pixar movie of that title): "We Scare Because We Care." Continue

Your Correspondent would like you to think of DellsSpace, this social-networking community for the residents and friends of The Waterpark Capital of the World, as your community. After all, there are no doubt many of you out there who, in their fondness for Wisconsin Dells, wanted to make your presence known on social-networking sites online ... but, in trying the established such like MySpace or Facebook, found yourself proverbially "crying in the wilderness," as it were, trying to attr… Continue
