TROPICAL ISLANDS IS A PLACE ON EARTH

By Vice Staff

During our interview with the Sacred Bones guys, Caleb and Keegan kept trying to feed us some bullshit about a magical waterpark in the middle of nowhere, Germany, that looked like a big snow-covered mound from the outside.

We were like, "Nice try, liars, but we've read Watchmen too. Think we don't recognize the stately pleasure dome of Karnak when we hear it?" Then Caleb sent us this video of their approach to Tropical Islands and we realized we'd let ourselves be tripped up by our own nerdy cynicism. We're sorry we doubted you, Tropical Islands. You too, Sacred Bonesers.

Caleb: We were driving along and it's the middle of winter in Germany, bleak as fuck. We saw these signs that said "Tropical Island" with palm trees. Once we saw that we were right there we turned and we're driving down some crazy road and out of the distance comes this giant dome. There's this giant zeppelin hangar in the middle of a field of snow. It looked like the bad guy's lair in a Bond film or something from Lost. We went in through the back and didn't see any signs or ways to get in. So we peeked in through a window in the back and it's a water park. There's all these families and a fake sky and beaches and sky divers and stuff. It were beautiful.

Here's some pictures we found of the majesty on German wikipedia.
