A Manmade Tropical Island Resort

Posted: 21 Feb 2013 12:29 PM PST

This abandoned aircraft hangar in Krausnick, Germany got a giant makeover and was transformed into a beach resort/waterpark. 29,000 tropical plants make an artificial rainforest that is full of exotic birds. The resort also pumps natural rainforest sounds through hidden speakers. Tropical Island Resort complex has a constant air temperature of 25 °C (77 °F), produces its own artificial sun, and is open all day, every day of the year. It's 360 meters long (1181 feet), 210 meters wide (689 feet), and And 107 meters tall (351 feet), which is tall enough to enclose the Statue of Liberty.

The hotel has been open since 2004.

Is your website fast or slow? The answer to this question might be more important than you think…

A website's speed matters for two reasons. First of all, users prefer websites that load quickly. Nobody likes sitting around waiting for images and other content to resolve, so if users aren't able to access your site as quickly as they'd like, there's a good chance they'll hit the "Back" button on their browsers before giving your website a fair chance.
