"One of Casey's most fun attractions is the Teeter-Totter (Seesaw). It's a great time looking at all the big things Casey has to offer, but Bolin thought it would be better to be able to intricate with some of them," the Big Things in a Small Town says.

"That's why the Teeter Totter has joined the ranks of the Wind Chime and the Mailbox. Visitors are able to ride on this gentle giant every Saturday during the tourism season."

"Get ready for some super-sized fun! Like many of Casey’s other oversized attractions, the World’s Largest Teeter Totter is interactive and can actually rock back and forth," the Olio in Iowa says.

"On Saturdays during the tourist season, volunteers man the 83-foot-long seesaw so that visitors can go for a ride. We were lucky enough to be able to ride the teeter totter when we visited Casey and it was an absolute blast."

"They say that what goes up must come down. And the twelfth world’s largest thing in Casey, Illinois, definitely goes up. And down. And up and down. And up and down. It’s the world’s largest teeter totter," the Silly America says.

"While it might look more like a bridge than a toy, Casey’s giant seesaw actually does work! But, for safety, a side rail is attached and it’s kept locked in place most days. When someone is around to unlock it and supervise (sometimes on Saturdays), visitors can walk across the top and feel it move beneath their feet.

"The world’s largest teeter totter was created by Jim Bolin and was officially certified as “world’s largest” by Guinness World Records on September 28, 2019."

"Along with the wind chime and mailbox, the teeter-totter is one of Casey’s few interactive giant objects and arguably its most fun," the Fodors.com says.

"It’s the world’s largest at 82 feet long and one of Maulding’s favorites. Visitors can ride it on Saturdays in the summer with the assistance of volunteers, but they can climb on it on their own year-round."

"Quaint shops, delicious eateries and unique attractions! Casey is an adorable little town with friendly folks. perfect for a day trip or well deserved weekend getaway. With new businesses and big items being added every year," the Enjoy Illinois says.

"There is always something new to experience! Casey Illinois is home to certified world's largest items, which include: wind whime, rocking chair, mailbox, wooden shoes/clogs, golf tee, pitchfork, key, gavel, twizzle spoon, golf driver, barber shop pole, and teeter totter."

"Casey (pronounced KAY-zee[5]) is a city in Clark and Cumberland counties in the U.S. state of Illinois. The population was 2,404 at the 2020 census. The Cumberland County portion of Casey is part of the Charleston–Mattoon Micropolitan Statistical Area.

"Casey is the home to several Guinness World Record constructions - super-sized items in the form of outdoor sculptures—including the Wind Chime, Rocking Chair, Knitting Needles, Crochet Hook, Pitchfork, Golf Tee, Yardstick, Wooden Token, Dutch Wooden Shoes, Mailbox, Pencil and Birdcage," Wikipedia says.

"Casey is most known for its collection of "World's Largest" items. Local craftsman and businessman, Jim Bolin, has built fourteen Guinness World record-qualifying things with Bolin Enterprises, Inc.:

The other two have since been beaten: World’s Largest Knitting Needles and World’s Largest Crochet Hook."

"An Illinois man has built a 123 foot, one inch long teeter-totter in his backyard that he hopes will set a Guinness World Record. Chuck Uhing, 77, began building the teeter-totter in 2014 using mostly cables and steel pipes, according to his neighbor of 31 years, Norm Deets," the ABC News reports.

"“I think he wanted to leave a legacy for his family, for his kids and grandkids and great grandkids,” he said of Uhing, a father of seven. “He wanted relatives to be able to say that back in 2016 he created the world’s largest teeter-totter.”

"Deets was on hand last week when an engineer came to measure the teeter-totter. Two local officials, the city clerk and police chief of a nearby town, served as witnesses. The next step is for Uhing to submit the official paperwork to Guinness, which Deets expects his neighbor to do this week."
