The giant rocker is standing proud, is well taken care of, and looks great. There is still a small chain around it, discouraging visitors to climb and sit. There is also a fancy set of signs designating this as a "Roadside Attraction" and laying claim to the title of World's Largest Rocking Chair. I guess they had not read about the Battle for the World's Largest.

I got as close to the chair as I possibly could without stepping over the chain, since there's a sign asking to not go past or touch the rocking chair.

This rocking chair was definitely big. It is a little off the beaten path, but provided some pretty good photo ops!
[Tara, 09/10/2012]This is the world's tallest wooden rocking chair, reaching 35 feet (a metal rocker in Missouri is 46 feet tall). A slightly smaller rocker made by the Dedeaux Clan was eaten by termites, and this larger chair replaced it in 2008.

The World's Largest sign was paid for by a hotel chain -- not the chair's owners -- that repainted the chair as a publicity stunt years ago. The sign shortsightedly ignores other claimants, and directs visitors to a hotel website that no longer exists. But the chair survives!
