Amtrak's Empire Builder at Wisconsin Dells: Does the Museum of Torture Do Weddings?

WISCONSIN DELLS, WISCONSIN (March 20, 2015). The missus and I were enroute from our (then) home in Niagara Falls, Ontario to Vancouver, B.C. to visit family.

As the train was pulling in to Wisconsin Dells, I happened to notice a building called the "Torture Museum" across the street. I pointed it out to my wife. I wondered if they did weddings. She said, "Maybe."

A fun clip from "Hot Shots! Part Deux!" (the "I've been married. Twice" scene) and some still photos from this part of the trip, as well as some internet information about the torture museum.

Also some shots of Amtrak's Deluxe Bedroom (mondo $$$$) in both it's daytime and nighttime configurations, if you're interested.

While not seen in this video, it never ceases to amaze me how this movie, for those of us old enough to have seen it when it came out, gave us a glimpse of our distant future thanks to Lloyd Bridges' portrayal of the senile and incompetent President Tug Benson.
