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.

Lesotho is one of the most unique countries on the planet. It’s the southernmost landlocked country, the largest country that’s entirely surrounded by another country, and the highest country on Earth. Yet, it doesn’t really show up on too many people’s radar. With the arrival of Google Street View imagery this month to Lesotho, it’s time to shed some light on the world’s largest enclave.

Uh, Phoenix Arizona is suddenly in Missouri?
did you know this site was acknowledged by google themselves on the google blog? http://www.google.com/googleblog
Yeah, Big Surf is near the Tempe/Scottsdale border, and also happens to be just north of a primary flight path into Sky Harbor, so if you’re seated on the north side of a plane taking off towards the east or landing from the east, you’ll definitely spot it. It’s also quite visible when you’re at the park itself. As I recall, they added it right after they removed the sand (and surfing) and made it a standard wave pool, like the other Phx area water parks.
hey, what’s the thing up-right of the Big Surf? is it a kartcourse?
Yeah Dan. We noticed the props from google
Yes, it’s a miniature race course. Used to be called Malibu USA or somesuch, but I believe the name has changed in recent years.
thats not the old-school pepsi logo. the old-school pepsi logo is much cooler.
wtf?
