I've been meaning for some time to post about the world's most tasteless amusement park. I know some people think Disneyland is tacky, and Six Flags is gauche, but this is a place that celebrates bodily emissions in gas, liquid, and solid states. Yes, it's
BON BON LAND
NSFW
This short video is possibly the best introduction to the place. I like the self-service roller coaster -- you don't see those over in our safety-obsessed society, that's for sure!
I'm not certain I can describe much of this without automatically getting my LJ "adult rated." I wouldn't mind, but the ratings seem to routinely keep some people from seeing what I post here. Pooping animals, giant excrement-related sculptures, scatalogical rides... all these are par for the course at Denmark's Bon Bon Land. Got a prince who's just too melancholy to live? Take him here, and he'll probably cheer up enough to have his old schoolmates done in instead. Alas, there is no petard ride in Bon Bon Land.
Another tour.
Here's one with, if anything, a little too much production and not enough tasteless amusement parkitecture.
Part 1 of another travelog. If you go see it, you'll find part 2 easily enough. Is there a part 3? I don't know! I'll just leave it at this. You can find more videos at YouTube, of varying length.
If you're at work and don't want to watch movies -- especially ones that explain loudly on the sound track what it is you're looking at -- you might want to get some of the same feeling of stunned disbelief at a photo gallery or... well, I was going to link to their official web site, but it seems to be 404. Do you suppose they've crapped out? Gone down the toilet? P*ssed away their success?
Eh, it's probably just temporary. To paraphrase the Sage of Baltimore, you can't go broke underestimating the taste of the people. And remember: more information on Bon Bon Land can be found on the internet!
But I'll tell you one thing. If this place does go out of business, it'll leave a really, really interesting set of ruins behind.
