One Really Big Pineapple Maze...Cool!

For some reason I have this obsession with pineapple and popcorn...why? I love fresh pineapple, always have. My mom would make fresh pineapple juice for me with a juicer. She was a bit of a "granola girl" where she liked to try new fandango health diets. I grew up on Spiraltin protein shakes and fresh juice from the juicer. I loved having fresh pineapple juice, absolutely fabulous and I recommend if your not allegeric to the fruit, that could be very detrimental if you were. 
So during church I was thinking of pineapple and the start of the company Dole Pineapple. I remember when I was a little girl, I think I was one and a half years old, my family went on a trip to Hawaii and visited a pineapple plantation. I thought I would look up what happened to the plantation and where is it now. Here's the link to the Dole Pineapple Plantation.
While perusing the site I found that they have made a ginormous pineapple maze...I wish I had that kind of time on my hands! Here's a little bit of information from the page and a picture of the maze...

In 2008, Dole Plantation’s giant Pineapple Garden Maze was declared the world’s largest maze. The maze stretches over three acres and includes nearly two and one-half miles of paths crafted from 14,000 colorful Hawaiian plants. Walk through the flora of the islands as you seek out eight secret stations that each lead you closer to the mystery at the heart of this larger-than-life labyrinth, one of only a handful of permanent botanical mazes in America. The fastest finishers win a prize and enter into the history of Dole Plantation, with their names recorded on a sign at the maze’s entrance.
