just north on the Trans Canada; is like a fish out of water. Do you know that there are 17 countries in the world which have the optical illusion of cars going up the hill. And of course, the Americans have the most with 21 separate locations. (Wikipedia) Some are called Magic Hill and others Magnetic Hill. Here I will show photos and YouTube.com links to Northern Ireland, India, Australia and of course Moncton. ,
Most important if you read all, you will find the unexplainable reason for why vehicles are drawn uphill, so please enjoy.Also, this summer a lot of cars will have the white paper on their car-dash, (in the top Moncton Hill photo) because this is a receipt for the $5 now charged to tourists visiting this always-was-free ride-up the Moncton Magnetic Hill. Maybe the tourists will instead decide to visit one of 6 locations in Canada with a magnetic hills experience. . Video are watched by clicking the small photos)
The sign (top right) is from India's "Ladakh: Magnetic Hill" Interesting, in both videos the motorcyclist almost gets hit.
Well, Moncton cannot be a Martimes tourist must-visit city, unless we visit Magnet Hill just north of the city. When I was a teenager and visited Moncton's Magnetic Hill; I remember the Old Restaurant on the left with the huge Sign showing a Magnet. The open section of the Horseshoe Magnet pointing down towards the hill; sort of like if it was pulling the cars back up the hill. To us kids, we really thought that magnet had power and expected that it would pull us into it "U". Kids are like that. And some of the videos seem to likewise have kids' comments to explain the excitement.
For my french grandkids "Quand j'étais adolescent et ai visité "Magnetic Hill" ; je me souvient du Vieux Resturant sur la gauche avec le grande Signe qui montre un Aimant. La section ouverte de ce l'Aimant de Fer à cheval, indique en bas vers la colline Magnétique. Les genres de comment s'il tirait de voitures a haut de la colline. A nous blaguons, nous avons pensé vraiment que l'aimant a eu le pouvoir et a prévu qu'il nous tirerait dans lui « U ». Les enfants sont comme ça. " Aussi a Chartierville il y a une "Route Magique" Le seul reference je trouve etait "Hill starts at intersection of Bowen Mountain Road and Westbury Road ... des Gardes and Renaison near the village Les Noës, known as route magique"
France, two basic Sites Route Magique, Deux angles, en haut et en bas
" et deuxieme local "La curiosité de Lauriol"
Now how does it work. Well, the 2010 Best Visual Illusion award was presented in Naples to Kokichi Sugihara, a japanese scientist of Meiji Institute for Adv Study of Mathematical Sciences.
The video must beseen to appreciate the illusion,so enjoy it and all the following magnetic hill experiences (Videos).Australia - Orroroo,
A small town of 543 in South Australia won't have a lot of tourist. Two others in NSW are "Gravity Hill" (Moonbi) and Magnetic Mountain (Bowen). In the video on Youtube, the auzzie says "O Weeell, tht wos xsitng" and " javeha ff card" Of course, at the video start it does not work and comments are worst the watching.Ireland's Magic Hill And Electric Bray.
