Subject: 80's Theme Park in the works!!!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!
Written By: wsmith4 on 03/21/06 at 2:11 pm
Due to tremendous public interest, a theme park dedicated to the fabulous decade of the 1980's has been approved and funded, with construction to begin later this year in St. Petersburg, FL. Walt Disney owns the rights to this project and will be overseeing the development and implementation of the creator's ideas. From stands selling retro candy, clothing, and toys (being specifically reproduced for this very theme park), to a drive-in movie theater playing 80's classic movies, music videos, and concerts, this park will be a nostalgic's dream come true. "It will be like stepping back in time 20 years," says co-creator Benjamin Bentalium. "I want someone to be able to walk through the gates and feel like they are back in 1985. We plan to have a stadium where bands and singers from the 80's can come to perform their classic hits as well as cover-bands to sing the songs of performers no longer around." This is totally tubular, dude.

Reminds me a bit of the '80's diner in the "future" from "Back to the Future II", which is basically true 8)
Should have a '90's diner by the next few years... ::) :D

I think this falls into the category of Meadowlands Xanadu and other weird, overreaching, megalomaniac '00s real estate and construction/development projects. Will probably be a hulking shell following the real estate crash.

I got the same. An 80's theme park would be awesome. I just worry about overkill. :)
