At little Canada, a miniatures museum
Ottawa residents that have been to the balloon festival before, the FUCK is this??
Eurghhg
Oh, that's probably a miniature if the SuperEx, not the balloon festival - see, a long ass time ago, before the Amalgamation, when Ottawa was actually four cities in extremely close proximity, somebody with political clout was jealous of the CNE, because it's the Canadian NATIONAL Exhibition, but it's in Toronto.
So they brought in a travelling theme park. I don't remember how long they'd be open for, but it was around late July. It used to be the only thing Lansdowne park was good for.
see this answers questions i have about the whole model, but not about the horrorterror that is le bananier
This kinda looks like a Where's Waldo picture.
see what's funny is that 20% of Little Canada is the silliest jokes they can cram in there in miniature.
There's SEVERAL Waldos, Spidermen and Shreks all over the place.
When they don't get the rights to a brand/aren't sponsored by them they'll just do a misspell, there's several u-howl trucks in there
there seems to be an ottawa bank building that's made up of a gorilla chucking jellybeans down a chute??
like. those are a bunch of apes with green bank lamps?? what the fresh hell is going on here
i wish i took more photos but i only have those two ^ and this following one of the kangaroo farm in BC
Sir, that gorilla looks like a werewolf in a hard hat.
Also i absolutely love the capybara ref.
Those kinds of jokes are what i adore miniature scenes for.
The local mini train club loves to hide dinosaurs for the kids.
One time at a museum, they had half-assed one from kinder egg smurfs "so the kids don't get bored".
There was no love in it, i hated it.
This on the other hand... *chef's kiss*
