It was a twisted bit of house, and showed just what could be accomplished with video game based attractions. It included several iconic characters, including Pyramid Head and the nurses. The house borrowed from the games, but also more from the movies. Silent Hill was another try at video game horror at both Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood and Orlando. Scary? Eh, not so much…but damn was it cool! The maze even had a friggin “Pause” room, where you heard the essential “Pause” sound! Definitely a good step in the right direction! It was a realistic and exact interpretation of the video game. In Orlando, Halloween Horror Nights brought a maze to life based on the first few games. The areas even featured some great fights in the street between the games heroes and Nemesis, as well as a slew of other zombies. The park is said to be beautiful, and horrible, all at the same time.īut what about other video game based theme park attractions? Universal Japan has brought to life Resident Evil (or as it’s known in Japan, Biohazard) several times for their Halloween Horror Nights events. They blatantly ripped off much of the park’s icons from the game without permission, and used a ton of inspiration and borrowing from Florida based theme parks. World Joyland in China has a very spectacular looking World of Warcraft and Starcraft inspired theme park. The exhibit was more science expo than theme park, but it still made for a very popular attraction. Angry Birds have also made it stateside, doing a run at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. While the area is more a kids playland with more slides and swings than roller coasters and thrills, it is a fully realized land based on the attractions. In truth, we have…you just haven’t seen it.Īngry Birds Land made it’s debut in Finland’s Särkänniemi Theme Park in 2012.
Why stop at Minecraft? Why haven’t we seen a park, or even a land or attraction based on theme park? Still, why haven’t we seen something like a Minecraft theme park yet? The interest is definitely there, as well as the imagination to make it right. While upstate New York is a far cry from China, $300 million will not get you much theme park. Reports say that the new Shanghai Disney is going to be somewhere around $3.7 Billion. Sounds amazing, actually.Ī park of that scale would cost closer to a Billion to build. The article went on to state that there would be several themed lands, including “The Nether” with coasters, shows and walk around Creepers that explode. It’s not enough for a hugely ambitious plan. The reported price on the park he wants to pay is just over $300 million.
The biggest problem? He sold it to Microsoft in 2014 for over $2 Billion dollars. National Report came up with a crazy claim that the previous owner (and that is important) of Minecraft wants to build a theme park based on the property.
