GREAT THEME PARKS

DIVO OSTROV (WONDER ISLAND),

ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA

With some of the most terrifying rides in the eastern hemisphere,

this park just outside of St Petersburg, Russia, doesn’t have the

best safety track record either. Apparently it’s meant to be

family friendly though.

WORLD JOYLAND, CHANGZHOU, CHINA

Not really concerning themselves with copyright laws, this

amusement park features numerous rides ripped off from popular

video games like World of Warcraft.

HACIENDA NAPOLES

This family friendly theme park in Colombia gives visitors a chance to

hang out with exotic animals and visit its museum. In order to get

there though you have to pass under the gate seen above and that

plane on top isn’t just any plane. It’s the same plane Pablo Escobar

used to bring his first load of cocaine to the United States.

DOLLYWOOD

Although Dolly Parton was more known for her singing than anything

else the Tennessee theme park that bears her name is known for its

fast and furious rides.

I©GYVENIMO DRAMA, LITHUANIA

Little more than a bunker in the woods, this “theme park” is staffed

by former members of the soviet army and is intended to give

visitors an idea of what life would have been like for citizens in the USSR.

THE CHILDREN’S REPUBLIC

Created in order to teach Argentinian youth about democracy

children can come here and do everything from elect their own

congress to acquire bank loans.

HERSHEY PARK

With over 60 rides based solely on the Hershey’s chocolate brand the

word on the street is that going there is a pretty sweet experience.

NAPOLEONLAND, MONTEREAU-FAULT-YONNE, FRANCE

Although it’s not scheduled to open until 2017 we venture to say that

there probably won’t be many height restrictions on the rides…
