I did go to Ripley's. It's on the Gold Coast and many years ago I was too. [Far too feral and commercialised for me now.] It was pretty interesting to be honest, just loads of curiosities, interactive funny shit and odd stuff. I don't know what I'd think of it now as an older man but bac then it was ok.
Watching someone one fall from a chair lift and do a double half-pike, crossed lay-over, inverted roly-poly dive bomb somersault is never too much.
