'Blizzard' Theme Park to open next month!

[Ollie]

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but it's the first I've heard of it.

According to the French website GameBlog, a Blizzard themed amusement park called 'World Joyland' will open its doors in March 2011 in the Wunjin district, China. We don't know how much truth is behind Joyland, but a girl can dream, can't she? The theme park will allegedly be divided into separate parts, including Island of Mystery, Terrain of Warcraft, Universe of StarCraft, World of Legend and Molesworld. It also plans to include a video game museum and a dedicated e-Sports center.

Joyland will also contain a few rides including a double free-falling tower, three types of roller coasters, and a simulator. Imagine Hellion go-karts, stim packs out of vending machines, and a Thrall & Jaina Love Tunnel perhaps? Read on to see a few more pieces of Joyland's concept art which we really, really hope come true.

It's under discussion in the Starry Night Ripper topic, which is at the park, but, that's for the coaster specifically...

I'm excited for a video game theme park, but, Blizzard are the ONE develop I don't want it to be, all their games are ****ty geek w@nk material

I'd LOVE to have a Lucas Arts (<3 Monkey Island) theme park but this is Blizzard...

I don't mind. It looks good, all of their games have MASSIVE storyline's, which is perfect for a theme park.

^Haha, epic! Or at least they could build a ride like that

But seriously, I have wondered for a long time why there's no park themed to video games yet. And here comes the reply! A little bit unexpected though with a Blizzard park (or maybe not after all with the recent wow hype), I have always thought of a Nintendo world or something like that.

You could have just cut & pasted the post I made Ollie, would have saved you some time.

Legoland is technicaly like that if you think Lego Star Wars Or Lego Racers.

Otherwise, this park is looking pretty good. Pity it's nowhere near me so no chance of me going.
