If you are like me and you've never seen Mount Rushmore in person, don't fret - now you don't have to travel any farther than Lehi, Utah to see it. Granted, it's not the REAL Mount Rushmore, but it's a pretty good replica with a small twist. If you look closely, you will notice slight presidential smiles on the finished product.
I'm talking about the Liberty Land amusement park in Lehi. I drive I-15 southbound a few times a week, and I can't help but look at the monument every time I pass it. It looks to be a sort of tunnel that a little roller coaster passes through. I haven't stepped out to see the site, but that's what it looks like from the freeway.
This park is going to be family and America oriented. It will have red, white, and blue everywhere, a Lady Liberty replica, hot dogs and apple pie, etc. I've also heard that the owners are going to place American historical facts randomly throughout the park, like on the miniature golf course.
I personally think this is a wonderful idea. With me, if it's related to American history, it gets a thumbs up, but this is even better because these people are trying to educate our young with things that they will enjoy doing. This is so much better than fun just for the fun of it. Who knew that we could learn while having fun too?
