The Economist' Opens Theme Park

That's right all you California peep's. Your prays and dreams have been answered. Disney Plans for a 3 gate has been spill the beans by Dave Share of Orange County Metblog. Here's some quotes on what kind of attractions are coming to the 3rd theme park at Disneyland resorts.
Quote:
Some of the themed rides they announced were a little surprising too. Alladin (oh yeah, the desert themed movie in a water park), Princess Cove (at least that might include Ariel), Mickey’s Water Clubhouse (original), Reef Landing (???) and Goofy’s Beach Party (apparently its a big beach on the wave pool where they host daily “Luaus”). Well…good thing they’re not doing FINDING NEMO!!! Frickin’ idiots.

Yes, that rights, your beloved Thunder Mountain is going though some changes. With the hit movies Escape from Witch Mountain, it's sequel and the remake with the Rock back in 2009, it looks like it's time to keep up with the hits. Look for The Rock to be in the attraction with this great quote from Jon of Orange County Metblog.
Quote:
The world’s first indoor/outdoor animatronic will feature a lifelike version of The Rock uttering catchphrases from the film as riders crest the second lift-hill. Can you smell what The Rock is cooking? I know I can.

IL, Green say's no to a Simpson Theme Park
Here's a memo from IL, Green county Patrick Kelly saying no to a Simpson theme park.

GREENS CRITICIZE SECRET PLAN TO CONVERT STATE CAPITAL INTO SIMPSON’S THEME PARK
Green Party leaders sharply criticized a secret plan by the state’s Democratic lawmakers to convert the state capital of Springfield into a citywide theme park modeled after popular television show, the Simpson’s.
“With our state’s current fiscal crisis, we cannot afford to bet everything on a wacky scheme to attract tourists,” said A.J. Segneri, ILGP Membership Steward and Whiteside County Chair.
Segneri said that the plan is being quietly implemented through a series of seemingly unrelated actions. A bill that recently passed the Senate, for instance, will lift the moratorium on new nuclear power plant construction, allowing the state to build a working replica of Homer Simpson’s fictional employer.
In another move, Rep. David Miller (D) pushed a tire burning amendment in the House that would allow theme park planners to create a perpetually burning tire fire in downtown Springfield, mimicking a Simpson’s landmark. Mass layoffs of public school teachers are intended to recreate deplorable conditions of the fictional Springfield Elementary School. And river crews have been hard at work for weeks searching for three-eyed Asian carp to serve in the theme park’s food court.
This park’s construction is being financed with $680 billion in state bonds, along with across the board fee and sales tax hikes. License plate sticker fees will be raised to $12,000 per year, for instance, and taxes on everything from candy and gum to shampoo and toilet paper will increase to nearly 800% the suggested retail price.
Sen. Terry Link (D) is working on a measure that would set up cameras in the middle of city blocks targeting jay-walkers with fines of up to $200. Link’s plan would also make video poker mandatory in all bars and restaurants, as well as movie theaters, schools, churches, airports, libraries, hospital waiting rooms, public beaches, polling places and Scott Lee Cohen’s pawn shop. Out-of-state visitors will be required to pay a cover charge upon entering Illinois and will be held to a two-drink minimum.
Despite their criticism, Greens stopped short of calling on Democrats to scrap the plan.
“Like it or not, we do have a $13 billion financial crisis, and we’ve been waiting a long time to hear how they’re going to address it. And as bad as this plan is, we’re a little bit afraid to hear their Plan B,” said Media Coordinator, Patrick Kelly.
“All April Foolin’ aside, though, the state legislature would be extremely misguided in lifting a ban on new nuclear facilities and redefining tire burning a ’renewable energy’. Both of these plans have serious implications for Illinois’ environment and public health. I think they’ll find they can’t dispose of nuclear waste and used tires as easily as they can burn through $13 billion.”

Wow, incredible news all around. I hope you all got a big spoon full of "YEAH RIGHT" ready. Anyway here's a good link to check out. That's Theme Park Insider.com with the best April Fool jokes of 2010.
http://www.themeparkinsider.com/news/response.cfm?ID=945506956
You know even if these are all jokes, I would like some of those rumors come true, like Busch Gardens bring back "Big Bad Wolf" or Disney get Alien Encounter back to the Magic Kingdom, or Universal to have "Lord of the The Ring's" as the next theme park attraction(oh, wait that is a rumor I posted a while back).
So, let me leave you with something I heard. I got a check out a source that say's Epcot will have the return of Horzion and that a revamp of Body Wars using the same technology that the new Star Tour's 2.0 is getting refurbish. Here's proof, I got this from a link sources showing off the new Body Wars ride concept ride look.
Want more check out the site. Here's the link.
