Bruce Lee ... The Theme Park?
Filed under: Action, Foreign Language, RumorMonger, Fandom, Cinematical Indie
I've been writing for Cinematical for nearly a year now, give or take. And I think I can say, without some degree of certainty, that this may be simultaneously the coolest and weirdest bit of news I've shared with you yet. According to Screamscape, Chinese news sources have been running with reports of a major new theme park which hopes to grace China's lands. Since we all know you can't have a theme park without a theme (and, boy, does this park ever have a theme), supposedly they're thinking about going with actor Bruce Lee. Yes, an entire theme park dedicated to one of China's most recognizable sons.* And what, I hear you ask, would be featured in such a park? Well, from what's being reported, we have two features outlined:- The Bruce Lee roller-coaster, complete with "Bruce Lee's signature screams and grunts."
- This is the kicker, right here: Bruce Lee robots patrolling the park, radio controlled from within a giant Bruce Lee tower somewhere in the middle of said park.
That's right friends, Bruce-bots at the Bruce Lee theme park. Yes, it sounds both amazing and mildly terrifying, but Screamscape warns not to get your hopes up, as they expect nothing to come of these crazy Chinese rumors.
*Yes, he was born in San Francisco, but he was a major force in bringing Chinese nationalism into western movies.

This is a great idea. Anything to keep his name out there is good. Bruce had influenceed some many people in so many ways.
I'll ride the first ride................

If they do open a themepark in honor of bruce lee, that's great and I would love to visit it. My late father introduced me to his movies as a child. I remember him taking me to see them with him when I was about 9 or 10! Bruce lee is a legend that doesn't die.

NOOOO!!! Hm.. it would be cool but at the same time retarded. As long as they build the theme park there and nowhere else, its all good. Because its damn embarassing. The sad part is, this is coming from a chinese person.

I like the sound of this, but are they going to also have some kind of martial arts arena, where you can watch sparring matches. that would be cool.
I hope someone decides to come up with a Tupac Shakur Theme Park, but maybe that is just a fantasy in my mind.
