Pretty amazing! On the site of a former Soviet military airbase in Krausnick, Germany, is an enormous hangar originally built to service huge helium-filled cargo airships. The hangar is tall enough to enclose the Statue of Liberty, and was converted to a recreational facility when CargoLifter AG went bankrupt in 2002. You will note that it is snowing outside. Inside, German vacationers are basking on a sand beach with palm trees at the "Tropical Resort", which includes a lagoon, water slide, adventure park, and numerous restaurants for up to 6,000 guests at a time. Daily admission is $40 for adults.
