In the parking lot of the fairy tale Magic Forest theme park stands a huge rendition of Uncle Sam. Sam is patriotic from top of exaggerated hat to toe, in American flag red-white-blue stars and stripes. At 38-ft. tall, Uncle Sam is claimed to be the World's Tallest, but we know there are others out there, notably in Ottawa Lake, MI, the break the clouds at a higher altitude.
The statue was purchased from the Danbury Fair in 1981, and positioned at Magic Forest in 1982. The fiberglass figure, weighing 4,500 lbs., was "clear coated" in 1992, which probably contributes to his tenacity during upstate New York winters.
