Adam Lee Balloon Twister

Update: Adam is now the Guinness World Record holder for the largest modelling balloon sculpture created by an individual! See the pictures below.

Exciting news!!! Adam and the spectacular family resort, Great Wolf Lodge, are teaming up this month to attempt a balloon sculpture the likes of which the world has never seen. The Grand Mound water park/hotel is supporting Adam in his efforts to set a new world record for the largest balloon sculpture ever created by a single artist. Adam will be twisting a Halloween-themed arachnid of nightmarish proportions. According to Adam, “I just twisted a sculpture at Great Wolf Lodge that was close to a world record [just a few feet shy], and now I want to make something that will really wow people. This balloon piece will take days to create, and use thousands of balloons.”

In order to achieve the record, Adam will have to assemble the colossal spider by himself. “In the past, when I’ve twisted large-scale balloons, I have had others inflate and tie off balloons while I put the piece together. It saves time and energy. After tying off a few hundred balloons, you would be surprised at the stress taken on your body. I’ve tied balloons until my fingers have literally bled. But in order to achieve the world record, I have to complete the entire project, start to finish, without assistance. It’s going to be an exciting challenge. I’m grateful to have corporate sponsorship for this undertaking, and have a very comfortable and happy working relationship with the nice people at Great Wolf Lodge.”

Update: Adam’s completed spider sculpture is finished and on display at Great Wolf lodge! A surveyor was contracted to take exact measurements for official records. The dimensions were 45 feet 2 inches wide by 22 feet 2 ¼ inches wide and used 2,975 balloons. This spider is made entirely of balloons with no supports or glue. The world record application is being processed at this time. We will keep you apprised of the official result when it becomes available. The spider will be on display in the main lobby until the end of the month. Adam wishes to extend a very heartfelt thank you to all who were involved in this massive project.
