Giant Spider Is World's Largest Balloon Sculpture

Adam Lee just broke the Guinness World Record for “Largest Balloon Sculpture” with this giant, Halloween-themed spider! Using almost 3,000 balloons, Lee created this 45 feet 2 inches wide by 22 feet 2 inches long sculpture all by himself! The spider is made entirely out of balloons and has no support or glue. It's currently on display at Great Wolf Lodge Lobby in Grand Mound, Washington and will be there until the end of the month.

Man Builds World's Tallest Sandcastle

Ed Jarrett, Guinness World Record holder for the tallest sandcastle, has beaten his own record for the second time.

His latest incredible construction was built at Winding Trails Recreation Area in Farmington, Connecticut, USA and measured 37 ft 10 in - a full 6 ft taller than his previous record. The medieval castle’s design features a two-headed, fire-breathing dragon and Rapunzel.

Over 1.6 million pounds of sand and water were used to create the structure, while more than 1,000 volunteers were on hand to help Ed, collectively contributing over 2,000 work hours.

Ed began work on the castle on April 1, with the completed structure finished in time for official measurements a whole seven weeks later on May 20.
