eginning June 7 in Los Angeles, fans will have a chance to dive into a life-size recreation of Uncle Scrooge McDuck’s magnificent money bin in celebration of Capcom’s upcoming videogame DuckTales: Remastered.
The photo opportunity will be located at iam8bit Entertainment System in a gallery that will showcase works inspired by videogames from the 1980s, giving “DuckTales” fans a chance to burrowing and swim through Scrooge’s precious money while doing laps and tossing coins into the air.
Hundreds of oversized gold coins and gems will be contained in a 10-by-10 foot structure.
The installation is promoting DuckTales: Remastered, which follows the adventures of Scrooge McDuck as he explores differently themed worlds to collect their treasures and become the world’s richest duck, to be released digitally on Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360, PlayStation Network for the PlayStation3 computer entertainment system, and in the Nintendo Wii U eShop this summer.[/quote]

That's lifesize?
How would you swim laps in it though? It would be like trying to swim in a sand pit.
I'll only go in if they play the moon theme as I dive in.

although you would not be able to swim.
Los Angeles?

This is the funniest thing I have seen all day; thank you. Now I just need to resume breathing.
Obvious real-life issues aside, you really wouldn't want to dive into an accurate Scrooge pool; McDuck being able to do it was unique to himself and verging on the supernatural. Everyone else tempted or tricked into trying it basically had the Peter Griffin experience up there.
Hahaha, the video got me.

That's just cruel.
For anyone wondering, the coins are oversized to prevent obvious choking hazards.

the company who did that was sued for animal abuse in case you were wondering.

How bad where they hit though.?

pretty bad from what I understand. They were trying to advertise their vacation experience by having their mascot (the donkey) paragliding. Needless to say it was not viewed favorably.

Looks like someone is going to be unemployed soon.

It makes it significantly less hilarious... just not enough to make it unfunny.
