thrillmaster Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I cannot believe there is actually a theme park called "PEDROLAND". I found it on this new travel site called ********* - the site was cool, and they list tons of other parks, but this Pedroland is a joke- and I'm not even hispanic.

CoasterFanatic Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 ^ What's the problem with Pedroland? I don't get it. // I can think of much worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 How can Pedroland be insulting? Maybe the ower's name is Pedro and he decided to name the park after himself? If my name was Pedro I would be overjoyed if a park was named after me. Or if the park has a mexican theme (which most likely has)? That's just opinion. -Chris- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillmaster Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Maybe I'm too sensetive, but the whole them is odd. Like if I went to Mexico and found Gringoland. Dunno... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan King Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I dont find it insulting what so ever. If anything, you might be the racial one for automatically connecting Pedro to Mexican Culture. Pedro could be anyones name. Like they said above, nothing is wrong with naming the park after yourself.... So...I dont see the argument here -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo41190 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Its just name! There are also restaurants called Pedro's....there's a body shop caller Pedro's.... I don't see the problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 yup, I'd have a bigger problem if it was called "Wetbackland". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gisco Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Do they at least have a jump the fence ride? lol, thats good. I read about a deal down in Mexico where you pay like $15 to simulate crossing the boarder. They give you a guide, take off at night and have to avoid the boarder patrol and cross a river or something like that. Lasts about 6 hours and is supposed to be pretty popular.

Calvin Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Do they at least have a jump the fence ride? Of course; it's a themed Frog Hopper. I think the creator of this thread may care a little bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ccron10 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 This is wierd, why should us get upset over a park named Pedroland? It's just like the name Trimper's Rides in Ocean City Md. execpt the name is Mexican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo41190 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I think they should put the "El Paso Special" ride in there! It should go there and Knotts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfoot12 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 If this is the same Pedroland that's located at South of the Border then you're a little late. South of the Border has been using Pedro as it mascot for years. He's an icon along I-95 in the Carolinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Would it be nearly as insulting to have it themed to Italian culture and call it Tonyland? I being Italian, think it would certainly not be. It's just a name, not off color at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
