Big Surf water park is in the Phoenix metro area of Arizona and as you can see there’s a giant old school Pepsi logo in the pool.

Following on from my previous post, I’d like to proudly present the world’s longest bridge. Yes it’s true, no bridge in the entire world is any longer (check for yourself at the Guinness World Records site).

At a staggering 23 miles long, this thing is nearly unbelievable. It must take at least 25 minutes to get across it, assuming you were hitting the speed limit all the way! The bridge joins Mandeville and Metairie in Louisiana, and each week day over 30,000 cars use it to cross Lake Pontchartrain.

The Mackinac bridge (which connects the lower and upper peninsulas of Michigan) is the 3rd largest suspension bridge in the world. At five miles in length, it is the third-longest suspension bridge in the world.

Seriously, check it out… it’s pretty big. There’s actually a traffic jam on there too.

Thanks to Ryan, Soyle Mycelf, Otterpop and Parker. More info about the bridge is available at mackinacbridge.org.

In 1923, the words “South San Francisco the Industrial City” were painted on Sign Hill (It presumably had a different name before that) and five years later, the 60 foot letters were put into cement.

I didn’t expect submarines to be found easily, but we’ve actually had quite a few. The first is in Point Loma peninsula in San Diego Harbor, CA. Directly in the centre of that map, next to the dock, is a narrow black torpedo-looking thing. That’s the submarine.

The Norfolk, VA naval base is apparently the biggest naval station in the world. You can see at least 4 submarines, 2 air carriers, 2 helicopter carriers and 27 other warships.

In NYC is the USS Intrepid museum, a carrier from the Vietnam War. There’s some ground level shots and a map of the different planes parked here on the Intrepid Museum site. On the northeast side of the pier is the USS Growler, “the only intact strategic nuclear missile submarine open to the public anywhere in the world.”
