should there be a Game of Thrones amusement park?

[brainhulk]

If Harry Potter gets one, shouldn't GoT?

imagine Tyrion's It's a Small World or a Red Wedding family restaurant. It would be glorious

Littlefinger's whorehouse ride anyone?

 

[vi edit]

Isn't that called "Las Vegas".

I played the GOT slot machine quite a bit. I think I was up $200 on it. But the Lord of the Rings machine took much of it back. 🙁

They should have a ride called the red wedding

 

[ImpulsE69]

If so, I'm buying stock in fake blood companies.

There used to be a place in New Jersey called Action Park. Not many people survived it without gruesome injury and psychological damage, so it was probably the closest thing ever to a GOT amusement park.

ER doctors at nearby hospitals nicknamed the place Traction Park and/or Class-Action Park, the safety record was appalling.

Never seen that. That's awesome.😀

There would be a ton of hype and anticipation, but once through the gates you'd have the empty realization that it was just like all the other theme parks you've been to.

 

[Printer Bandit]

I can't wait until the Game of Thrones gravy train ends.

 

[SSSnail]

No thanks, I don't want to die unexpectedly.

I know, you could get married just like with the Star Trek weddings they have in Vegas.

Except instead of a starfleet uniform the groom gets to dress up as the king in the north! 🙂 Fun times to be had by all.

It never will. Once this series wraps up, you know there will be a prequel going back 100's of years which gives them a long runway to make episodes before running back into where the original started.

The first five rides would be world class roller coasters. After that would be nothing but spinning tea cups and mascots in animals costumes, but some people would claim that nothing changed.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

no, absolutely not.

 

[Squisher]

I wanna ride a dragon.

 

[shimpster]

why hell no

 

[FerrelGeek]

The female employees would have to be at least topless on occasion.

 

[brainhulk]

Meryn Trant's Too Old Daycare

 

[Jeffg010]

They have a Game of Thrones pinball.

awww someone who doesn't like game of thrones came into a thread about game of thrones to let everyone know he doesn't like game of thrones. how cute.

To me that is like bitching about the popularity Big Bang Theory or comic book movies or gaming competitions. Even if you don't like any particular piece you have to appreciate that nerds are finally cool.

At some point we will look back with rose colored nostalgia of how awesome the current age is.

This just sounded too awesome to go away without a follow up

Cannonball Loop
The one ride that has come to symbolize Action Park and its extreme thrillseeking was almost never used.

In the mid-1980s GAR built an enclosed water slide, not unusual for that time, and indeed the park already had several. But for this one they decided to build, at the end, a complete vertical loop of the kind more commonly associated with roller coasters.[50] Employees have reported they were offered hundred-dollar bills to test it. Tom Fergus, who described himself as "one of the idiots" who took the offer, said "$100 did not buy enough booze to drown out that memory."[45]

It was opened for one month in summer 1985 before it was closed at the order of the state's Advisory Board on Carnival Amusement Ride Safety, a highly unusual move at the time.[4] One worker told a local newspaper that "there were too many bloody noses and back injuries" from riders, and it was widely rumored, and reported in Weird NJ, that some of the test dummies sent down before it opened had been dismembered and decapitated.[4] A rider also reportedly got stuck at the top of the loop due to insufficient water pressure, and a hatch had to be built at the bottom of the slope to allow for future extractions.[4]
