A number of gravity hills have been documented by Weird NJ here in The Garden State. It's an optical illusion. In some towns, cops love to ticket people rolling backwards on the hills :)

when i was in china this past summer, we went on a hill type thing.. i swear it was a hill.. like i was sitting on the bus.. back to the back of the seat cause we were facing uphill, and we were moving forward...................

alright.. now that i read it, it sounds really really stupid.. since wer'e moving forward.. but the guy turned off the engine of the bus and everything! it was pretty cool.. i dunno how it can be an optical illusion if i actually felt myself facing uphill.. but i dunno..

I'm from NB and have been on that one in Moncton. There are a few others in NB that are not as commercial as that one but that one is fairly famous and works better than most. Look at the pictures of the tidal bore on that webpage, thats impressive, My Aunt can see that from her house all the time. It used to be huge before they put the dam in.

NB has lots of weird stuff like that. Reversing falls where the water actually turns around and goes back up over the falls. Neat stuff.
