World's Largest Cuckoo Clock

The clock isn't all that big (Okay, maybe for a cuckoo clock it is.). About 10 feet tall and maybe 20 wide, on the rooftop of the Alpine Alpa restaurant. For 25 cents, you walk up some stairs and, on the hour, watch as half a dozen cheap, plaster figurines move out on a track and spin to the tune of lively oompah music for five minutes.
