Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin - Lake Delton Reappears, Ski Show Fans Rejoice

Tommy Bartlett's Thrill Show: Just in time for the start of summer, Lake Delton has been refilled -- and is once again providing a slick surface for Tommy Bartlett's iconic water ski show in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. The massive lake vanished last June 9 when it broke through a dam and drained away in less than three hours. [05/29/2009] Complete Story...

Tommy Bartlett Water Thrill Show

We may not have personal jet packs and hover boots -- yet -- but the Water Thrill Show at Tommy Bartlett's in Wisconsin Dells has introduced something strikingly similar: the Flyboard. "Simply put, this is an exploding hydro-teched, dive bombing Iron Man on steroids," says the attraction's press release in perhaps not-so-simple terms. Brit Karl Pilkington tried, and failed, to operate one of these in an episode of An Idiot Abroad. American audiences will be amazed, promises Tommy Bartlett's.

"At full throttle, the performer propels up to 30 feet in the air demonstrating flips, spins, and somersaults, then dives straight down head first into the water thrusting and breaching up and down through the waves like a human dolphin." We'd suggest seeing this as soon as possible before it's outlawed.
