Welcome to the World’s second Largest rocking chair, also known as the Route 66 Rocker. (It was also once known as the Route 66 RED rocker, until the red turned to rust, and the word “red” was removed from the official title)
For several years this was the world’s largest rocking chair, and was listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as such - until a party pooper entered the picture in 2015 and built a LARGER rocking Chair — how rude! Get your own thing dude.
This one, however, remains the world’s largest rocking chair THAT IS ON ROUTE 66 - so there.
This giant rocking chair was erected in 2008. It is 42 feet high, and it’s rockers measure 31.5 feet. It is made of steel pipe and weighs 27,500 pounds.The chair originally rocked, but this was so terrifying and dangerous that it is now permanently affixed to the ground.
There is a bedraggled store beside the rocking store, where we found some route 66 pop and not much else.
Be sure to leave enough time to make a pit stop at the world’s second largest rocking chair - it will take approximately two minutes out of your day (or 7 minutes if you get a pop)
