The Questionable Area? is an abandoned roadside attraction located near the Quarry. It is a power vortex of strange happenings which are caused by the large nearby psitanium deposits. The psitanium causes the nearby water to flow uphill and makes animals act strange. This area is also home to the Aquato Family Circus.

The Lumberstack Diner is an abandoned restaurant that resides inside The Questionable area. After arriving to the Questionable Area, Sam can be found making pancakes with makeshift ingredients behind the counter. Several animals keep her company.

The Lumberstack Diner is run down due to lack of ownership. Plants and fungi have grown inside the diner, making it an ideal place for Sam to cook with her animal hostages. The outside of the diner is shaped like a stack of pancakes. A statue resembling Paul Bunyan stands near by.

Main article: The Aquatodome

In the unused parking lot of The Questionable Area, Dion and Raz have set up the Aquatodome. The Aquatodome is a blue circus tent with room for seating and performance. The tent is portable and has been placed in many locations previous to the parking lot.

By setting up this tent with Dion, Raz is reminded of the time Dion taught him to perform a dive. After this side mission, Raz can perform a dive in midair.

The Campsite[]

The Campsite is the temporary home of The Aquato family. Several caravans and wagons are placed around, as the traveling circus has more luggage than the average campers. Fortunately for the performers, the campsite has not seen visitors in a long time due to the closing of The Questionable area. Nona, Frazie, Donatella, and Mirtala can be found here regularly. Dion, Augustus, and Queepie are typically found elsewhere in the Questionable Area.

Trivia[]

  • The fact that The Questionable Area is described as a "power vortex" also references the Oregon Vortex, the real-world location of which Gravity Falls' Mystery Shack is based off of.
