| Unlicensed World of Warcraft theme park opens in China
Sorry if this is a repost, apparently there was a post back in feb 09 of it's construction but now it is open to the public: Quote:
World Joyland hungers.
If you love Chinese knock-offs -- and I know you do -- you'll love this bit of news: World Joyland, the famed and unlicensed World of Warcraft theme park in Changzhou, China, is now open for business. The people at Shanghaiist took a tour of the place, taking myriad pictures of their experience.
In actuality, the park is less of a WoW rip-off and more of a Blizzard rip-off. It includes a Starcraft-themed area named "Universe of Starship" in addition to its World of Warcraft area, which is named "Terrain of Magic."
What kind of rides does the place have? Well, Shanghaiist detailed one of them:
Our first ride was an exciting little number called Splash of Monster Blood, and they're not kidding about the splash. We'll just say this much: trying to act cool by refusing the buy a sky blue poncho on your way in is a giant n00b stamp.
The ride was, as its sign board attests, a "beast-bloody journey" (a.k.a. your standard amusement park log ride affair.) After clicking and chugging up a tunnel full of orcs and monsters, you are then plunged down into water that manages somehow to smash you from both the front and the back simultaneously.
While World Joyland may have skimped on the official licensing -- China is much cooler with copyright infringement than we Americans are -- we're pretty sure they didn't skimp on anything else while building the place. The place is probably totally safe and not covered in lead-based paints. Right? Right?

The pictures of this place is pretty epic:    http://shanghaiist.com/2011/07/15/jo...Pic=36#gallery

The main attraction of the park is a big blue inverted rollercoaster, aptly named the Sky Scraper but misspelled as the Sky Scrapper on its signboard. Amusement park rides are a dangerous affair in China, and we weren't entirely sure we'd come back from this one alive. But we did, and have the photos to prove it.
One of the most disturbing parts of the park was the general decay we witnessed, unnerving in a park open only a hair shy of two months. Cracks in paint and rust on handrails made the attendants’ habit of screaming “Goodbye!” as the roller coaster surged out of the gates even more terrifying.

I wouldn't want to go. It just makes me think of how the castle at Disneyland wasn't even a real castle. Fake stuff makes me sad.

It's just a matter of time, like the high-speed rail.

the chinese are great at building things but bad at maintaining it. Look at the olympic stadiums, all are in various stages of decay already.

Is this next to the Apple store?
LOL it's hilarious every time we hear of China doing something amazing, it's easily drowned out by China being fucked up and not giving a fuck.
At least it's not a complete rip off and shit is sorta changed. There's no Thrall or Kerrigan or whatever.
