There's roadside attractions...and then there's ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS...and nothing will get me to pull over faster than a giant dinosaur. This past weekend I found the original Goony Golf, opened in 1961, on old U.S. 11 in Chattanooga, TN.
Founded by Dutch McGrath, a traveling salesman who "borrowed" some ideas from a place in Florida called Goofy Golf, there were locations all over the Eastern U.S. by the mid 80s. Today only 3 remain... this one, one in Knoxville, TN, and one in Lake George, NY.

Oh yeah!
