The
Guinness Book of World
Record heard about the
unique giant bobblehead and in
a ceremony in Orlando,
Florida late last week,
Guinness officially recognized
Warren's latest high
watermark as the new world
record holder. At 15-feet,
4 and 3/4 inches tall it
easily surpassed the old
record holder - a 13-foot
tall rendition of game show
host Chuck Woolery (the
original host of Wheel
of Fortune).
Royal
found a high-quality prop company,
Dino Rentos Studios in Orlando, that produces work for companies
like Disney, to physically create the piece.
Since the head has to move one
challenge was finding a big
enough spring to make
it work. The solution was to
take a spring off a two-ton
pick-up truck and it worked like
a charm.
Warren
told
a local newspaper,
Georgia's Albany Herald,
“We’d been working on this
project for months. It was hard work. But I was telling everybody it has to be hard when you’re setting a world record. Applied Underwriters came up with this great idea -
take
Goldie ( their mascot) and make a giant bobblehead. Oh, and why not do a world record while we’re at
it!? It’s really the
client’s record. It’s
their project and their
record. It belongs to
them...We’re just going to
sit back and enjoy
this.”
