spacemountainfreeek Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 I found this online. it looks pretty interesting from what i noticed there wasn't any "major" rides. It's more like a giant walk through attraction. Enjoy! >> Jake http://dickensworld.co.uk/
bulldogmom Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 That sounds cool! Somebody should make a Shakespeare-themed park- that'd be really cool.
spacemountainfreeek Posted May 13, 2007 Author Posted May 13, 2007 ^^ I agree But what rides would they put in and how can they incorporate it into his plays?? I am really surprised they got away with this park.
Wes Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 So is the experience going to be overly long, with a ton of detail but not much going on? Wes (Has tried...TRIED..to make it through Great Expectations three times)
dubaidave Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 I Ma going in September so get ready for at Photo TPR.
PoisonedPirate Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Oh man I remember hearing about this in Sixth Form! My English teacher totally wanted us to go but unfortunately it wasn't going to be finished in time for us but she would show us construction photos and stuff as if that made Hard Times easier!
MattyD Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 It's just down the road from me and is, from what I've heard, a huge waste of money! However, that does means it's never very busy! It has very little in such a huge building, a boat ride and a few shows and that's pretty much it, so it is probably alright for school trips etc but definitely not what I would regard as a theme park due to a distinct lack of anything rideable! A lot of local people are very unimpressed and think the council wasted a lot of money for nothing, and personally I can't say I'm that impressed with it, when the council first put the idea in our local paper we thought we were getting a small theme park with a few rides related to Charles Dickens but it hasn't worked out like that! If anyone does visit I'd definitely be interested to see a TR about it, maybe you could change my mind about the place?! Matt
BeemerBoy Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I'm calling on someone in Baltimore to build one based on Poe's works. Dickens = Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
MattyD Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 ^Now that I would like to see! I loved Poe's works when we read them for English GCSE and some of those would make some pretty gruesome dark rides and other attractions! You'd just have to hope they did a better job then has been done with Dickens World! Matt
ernierocker Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Is there a roller coaster called Oliver Twist(er)? Okay, I'm done.
