johnrose Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 London to get multimillion dollar sexual `theme park' near Piccadilly Circus LONDON (AP) - Move over, Eros. Developers announced plans Friday to open a multimillion dollar sexual ``theme park'' near London's Piccadilly Circus, home to the much-photographed statue of the Greek god of love. Backers say the London Academy of Sex and Relationships, due to open next spring, will not be a sleazy sex museum, but an educational multimedia attraction that will teach visitors to become better lovers and provide valuable information about disease and sexual problems. Located within the Trocadero entertainment centre - just around the corner from Soho, London's red-light district - the $8.3 million US project will feature unspecified ``high tech and interactive exhibits.'' Alex Rayner, a spokesman for the project, said it was ``committed to avoiding the sleazy image that the sex industry usually conjures.'' ``Titillation is not the goal,'' he said. ``It's meant to be educational. It's meant to be informative.'' The privately funded project has support from sexual health organizations including the Sexual Dysfunction Association and AIDS charity The Terrence Higgins Trust. ``It is long overdue that the U.K. faces up to its responsibilities in the sexual arena _ we cannot simply avoid mankind's leading preoccupation and the issues that go with it,'' said the academy's director of exhibits, Dr. Sarah Brewer. ``The academy is the perfect vehicle by which to address these important matters in an exciting, amusing and yet educational way.'' Several cities around the world - including New York, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Paris - are home to erotic museums. Typically, they exhibit everything from pornography to high-minded paintings exploring local sexual attitudes and culture.
SharkTums Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Wow...they took out the Intamin Free Fall for this?!?! Personally I was more turned on by the Intamin ride!
Imhotep Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Ok.. My imagination is running wild with all sorts of bad jokes and ride ideas with a sexual theme. Im sure thats normal. Elissa: maybe they took out the freefall to put in something more 'phallic' like a Kingda Ka clone. Damn I had to say it.
jackskellington101 Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Wow...they took out the Intamin Free Fall for this?!?! Hey, who knows. They may replace it with a S&S Space Shot.
Justin Adams Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Perhaps in the exhibit for erectile dysfunction they'll put in a Huss Topple Tower. Sorry, I know, bad joke. I had to do it.
coasterfreak101 Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Perhaps in the exhibit for erectile dysfunction they'll put in a Huss Topple Tower. Sorry, I know, bad joke. I had to do it. YA NASTY!!!

FlyingScooter Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 I love it. 'Interactive exhibits'..LMAO! Imagination running wild on that one. The Menopause Adventure: a ride of hots and colds, ups and downs.
woah_killa Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 hm...i wonder what the train would look like for a roller coaster? maybe, it will go through a TUNNEL?!
dandaman Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 Don't worry, it'd only be about 10 seconds. Speak for yourself. Hey, I was speaking up for others on that one! I really think this could be a PhotoChop idea... so much potential. LMAO at clIMAX, by the way. Will it be in 3-D?
cfc Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 Perhaps there's a simulator themed to look like a Chevy van with a Frank Frazetta "barbarian woman" painting on its side. How about the "No Knockin' if It's a'Rockin' Roller Coaster"?
