Guilty Plea Expected In Harlem Newborn Kidnapping Case
Unusual Amusement Parks
Filed under: Places To Go
There's Disneyland, there's not Disneyland, and there's Diggerland. Diggerland is just one of several unusual amusement parks highlighted recently by our friends over at Gadling. I think Diggerland is my favorite of the bunch because, well, let's face it -- who doesn't love construction equipment? And the only better than construction equipment is construction equipment you can operate. And that is exactly what happens at Diggerland. Plus, that's a Land Rover in the upper left corner.If that's not your cup of tea, perhaps you'd prefer the rather bizarre Bon Bon Land? As you might guess from the name, it was built by a candy company. Since kids are not allowed to tour the factory -- due to hygiene issues -- the company built the amusement park instead. There, you can enjoy rides such as Hundeprutterutchebane. According to Gadling, "Also known as 'Dog Fart Switchback,' Hundeprutterutchebane takes riders on a fun-filled journey around a hound's piles of poop and allows them to listen to the sounds of his farts."
Lastly, there's always Vietnam's Suoi Tien Park, a Buddhist-themed amusement park. This park includes a huge splash park with, yes, a giant monument of an old man with a waterfall beard. There are also displays of Heaven Palace for those who have been good and the twelve torments of Hell for the rest of us. How can you not be booking your flight already?
Check out the Gadling story and be sure to fill us in on any of these places you might have visited. Me, I'm going to get to work on figuring out how to get to Diggerland. For the kids, of course.
