I never knew how I'd pay for college but I have a plan that may bring in the dough: a completely musical theatre-themed theme park. Can you imagine it?
- The Wicked Defying Gravity Coaster
- The Marvelous Wonderettes Candy Shoppe
- Sweeney Todd's House of Horror (a haunted house theme, you sit in barber chairs)
- The Gypsy Tilt-a-Whirl with "Rose's Turn" playing
...OMG, could go on forever!!
Cool idea, huh? Got me thinking about some other attractions at such a park. First, let's get the obvious out of the way:
- The Magic Show Magic Show
- The State Fair State Fair
- The Side Show Side Show
- The Carousel Carousel - featuring a real live barker (of course, it takes talent to do that well...)
- The Show Boat Show Boat
- The Carnival Carnival
- The Barnum Circus
Then there's the slightly more inspired:
- Assassins C'mere-and-Shoot-a-President Booth
- The Phantom of the Opera Falling Chandelier - visitors ride up 30 stories slowly then suddenly plunge
- Miss Saigon Flying Helicopters
- Cats Giant Spinning Tire
- The Starlight Express Indoor Light Show and Mini-Coaster
- Oklahoma! Box-Social Food Court
- A Chorus Line Bobsled Run (Woosh...I feel the snow, I feel the cold, I feel the air...)
- Les Miserables Barricade Jungle Gym
- The Music Man Gazebo Bandstand
- South Pacific WWII Airplane Ride
- Lady in the Dark Traveling Circus
- The Pirates of Penzance Log Flume Ride
- Grease T-Bird Bumper Cars
- Candide Auto-de-Fe Fun House
- Chicago/Cabaret Vaudeville Review
- La Cage aux Folles Drag Show
- Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flying Cars and/or Child-Catcher House of Kiddie Horrors
- Sweet Charity Plummeting Elevator and/or Ferris Wheel
- Mary Poppins Flying-Umbrella Gondola Ride
- The Steel Pier Boardwalk
- The Nine Grand Canal Tunnel of Love Cruise
- Peter Pan I'm-Flying Giant Swings
- Funny Girl Roller Skating Rink (Can *I* roller skate...?)
- Hello, Dolly! Sunday Clothes Train Ride
- The Annie NYC Movie Theater
- A Catered Affair Authentic Coney Island Roller Coaster
- The Big River White Water Rafting Ride
- Sunday in the Park With George Caricature Artists
- The Tarzan Bungee Jump
- The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas...er...maybe not...
Care to make some suggestions of your own, dear reader?
