The record
A fourth Ripley's holding, from the same sixteen-section purchase as Times Square, Niagara Falls and Orlando; the London attraction closed in 2017 and the section's whereabouts are unrecorded.
A section at the London Ripley's, and the fourth of that company's holdings in this catalogue. Edward Meyer bought sixteen ten-foot sections shortly after 1989 — about 40,000 lb — and shipped them by barge to Hamburg, freighter to New Orleans and lorry to Orlando for distribution around the attractions. Four of those sixteen are now accounted for here, on two continents, from a single purchase.
The attraction closed with immediate effect on 25 September 2017; the company said it was looking for a new London site, and nothing read here records where the section went.
How did it get here?
From the sixteen-section Ripley's purchase, originating in Waldemarstraße in Kreuzberg.
