Town wants world's largest lava lamp
A US town plans to build the world's largest working lava lamp in a bid to attract tourists.
Soap Lake in Washington hopes that by installing the groovy 60ft high attraction sight-seeers will flock there rather than go to Paris for the Eiffel Tower or Seattle to see the Space Needle.
The town - population 17,000 - should at least gain a monopoly on time traveling giants from the 1960s.
"People will come to see this from all over the world, just as they do when visiting other structures of awe," says Brent Blake and John Glassco of Soap Lake, the team behind the concept.
"Think of the interest this structure will have on people. It is an active, mesmerizing, vividly colorful and always changing kinetic structure."
The proposed lamp is constructed of cast 4-6 inch thick reinforced glass with a structural metal base and top cap. The contents of the lamp will be similar to conventional lava lamps.
At mid-point of the structure, an observation platform with a catwalk surrounding the glass cylinder will be constructed with access for spaced out hippies.
