Hyperstrike | Wisconsin Dells: Main drag and Downtown drag @PhotonHerald | Uploaded September 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
First off, if you don't know what the Wisconsin Dells is, read up here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin_Dells,_Wisconsin
They are the self-proclaimed "Waterpark Capital of The World".
My family's been going up to the Wisconsin Dells since WELL before I was born (60+ years). My first trip up, I was a hoary THREE WEEKS OLD.
Lots and LOTS AND *LOTS* of things have changed in that time.
Unfortunately, due to the time-frame involved, there isn't a lot of available media on the Wisconsin Dells in a historical and documentary context. So many things are piecemeal, copies of old film reels, random pictures of things long gone.
It makes it quite difficult for Dells history buffs to scratch their itch (as it were).
But video and picture recording are now easy and ubiquitous.
So I'm adding my own little bit to the pile of Dells history.
This is a (badly) processed video with some snarky call-outs, etc.
After I get this one up, I'll try to upload a clean copy of the video without the call-outs.
This video is a combination of two parts.
The "main drag" (where all the parks and most of the bigger attractions are). This is Route 12 (and technically, most of it is the Lower Dells and Lake Delton).
And the Downtown drag, containing Downtown Wisconsin Dells (aka Kilbourn City). This is Route 13/23.
Alternately, a copy of this video can be found on Bitchute as well.
