Nathan Wakefield今年购买了密歇根州爱尔兰山区沿美国12号公路的Mystery Hill及其三英亩地产1。这个以"违反重力的房屋"著称的路边景点近年来经历了多次易主，前业主Dirk Dole在2022年购买该景点后，增加了奇异博物馆和宝石采矿体验等项目1。
Wakefield拥有15年专业杂技表演经验，包括表演躺在钉床、杂耍和吞火1。他计划继续运营重力屋旅游，同时将这一景点扩展为更广泛的家庭娱乐目的地，融入杂技表演等体验元素1。这一举措反映了他希望保护这一代际遗产、抵抗路边景点衰退趋势的决心1。爱尔兰山区曾拥有众多类似的路边景点，但许多已经关闭，包括1974年关闭的Frontier City和2007年关闭的Stagecoach Stop1。密歇根州旅游部副总裁Kelly Wolgamott表示该景点代表"独特而怀旧的体验"1。
Nathan Wakefield has purchased Mystery Hill, a three-acre roadside attraction in Michigan's Irish Hills region, this year to preserve the historic property and expand its appeal 1. The site is renowned for its gravity-defying "house of unbalance," an optical illusion structure that creates the sensation of defying the laws of physics 1. Wakefield, who brings 15 years of professional circus performance experience including bed-of-nails demonstrations, juggling, and fire-eating, plans to continue operating gravity house tours while transforming the destination into a broader family entertainment venue featuring acrobatic performances 1.
The acquisition marks a reversal of fortune for roadside attractions in the region, which has seen numerous closures over the decades 1. The Irish Hills area was once dotted with such destinations, including Frontier City, which shuttered in 1974, and Stagecoach Stop, which closed in 2007 1. The previous owner, Dirk Dole, had purchased Mystery Hill in 2022 and added a curiosities museum and gem mining experience to the property 1. Michigan's tourism department views the attraction as representing "a unique and nostalgic experience," according to Kelly Wolgamott, vice president of the state's tourism division 1.
