Theme Parks You Wish Existed

So... I just got back from DisneyLand.  I'm not the biggest of Disney fans, though I do like several of their properties.  I was most excited to see some non Disney stuff... like the Indy ride that opened right after I was last there, the new Star Tours, Captain EO, etc...

I was sitting on the Mostly-SubMarine (Mostly) when I had bathysphere flashbacks to BioShock.  In the space of about a second, I had a little daydream about how great a BioShock theme park would be.  Instead, this admarine took me back to Finding Nemo, which was fine... but not as good as the ride I'd just imagined in my head.

My 8 year old son also got in some trouble for wearing a Mario hat and t-shirt one day.  "THERE'S NO MARIO at DISNEYLAND!" he was bluntly informed.  So I can speak for my son and say that a MarioLand would be of strict interest to him.

What other attractions would you like to see at xhonziLand, xhonziWorld, or EuroXhonzi?

Oh, and BladeRunner.

They should make a ride based on Star Wars...

...that would be totally awesome!

How about "Dead Space"?

Almost getting torn apart by Alien-Zombies is perfect family entertainment. :P

*sigh* (just to piss off Warbler)

At one time I wanted a HUGE Star Trek based theme park built that would have been a kind of cross between the theme-park portrayed  in the movie "Futureworld", and what was to become the "Star Trek Experience" (A combination prop exhibit / Star Tours style ride / Quark's Bar (cafe) thing) held at the Las Vegas Hilton from 1998-2008.   

They should build this:

I can just imagine a person in a 'TV's Frink' Costume welcoming people.

People could go in the Warbler roller-coaster where they get repeatedly *sighed* on.

After that they could go to the Ric Olie shop to purchase any number of Ric Olie related items.

Then they could go to the 'Kenkraly2007 fried chicken' shop and get food with the colars fixed.

Are you serious?

Not very.  A shop clerk was mostly just making friendly banter and maybe trying to make a sale by saying, "Mario, eh?  Hmm... I don't know if we can let you get away with that... maybe your dad will have to buy you a Mickey T-shirt and cap!"

Bioshock theme park would be amazing! I'd walk all the way to it just to see it if I had too.

I knew I could count on your business!  Unfortunately... I'm not sure very many other people would really care that much.  Maybe I'll make this themepark in my basement and backyard.  Do you think my HOA would go for that? 

I noticed on amazon that a Bioshock novel is coming out in July and even though I don't know the author and imagine it will probably suck, I've already as good as bought it in my mind. Mmmm, Bioshock!

 Yes, I have that book in my wishlist as well.  Here's hoping that it's awesome!

I was inspired to read up on the theme parks of my youth. Sad that the parks that I knew are gone, lost to time.

Paramount's Kings Island: Now just "Kings Island", owned by Cedar Point, with no Klingons or Scooby Doos to roam around the park.

Kentucky Kingdom: Shut down last year. May come back with the original owner, eventually.

Thankfully Holiday World is still family-owned and operated. Free Pepsi, parking, sunscreen, wi-fi. Just big enough to be cool, but small enough to be friendly.
