Hey kids! wanna go to a Michael Jackson Theme Park? - Polidicks

[quote] It is hard to write about Gary, Indiana without insulting them. I'll admit that most of my experiences with Gary have involved little more than driving through the city on my way to Michigan, but from what I've seen when speeding down I90 has never really been interesting enough to stop and learn more about what they have to offer. That is all about to change, because Gary has decided to build a theme park dedicated to its most famous one time resident - Michael Jackson. Before Jackson passed away, I did not even know he was born in Gary, something I'm sure I share with many others. Work on the theme park is scheduled to begin this year - and will include a rollercoaster (called Thriller), a Ferris wheel, a zoo, a museum and even classic carnival rides moved from the pop singers famous Neverland Ranch. Now, before you load up the family truckster for a trip to Gary, you'll be disappointed to know that constructing the theme park will be a ten year project, and will start with a museum and an art center. Out of respect for Gary, I've added a photo of the Neverland Ranch - you'd be surprised to know that there are no cheerful photos of Gary on the Internet.

Yes I want to go RIGHT NOW! :dance:

:what:

This sounds actually really cool. Too bad I live nowhere near Indiana.

[QUOTE=Robbazking;19636551]If Micheal Jackson was a ghost he had been in kiddy land.[/QUOTE] Or in a schools changing room.

This will be one of the main attractions: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY1aS1fFJSo[/media]

Come on the opening day and receive a pair of luxury Billie jeans for free. Come in during the first week and receive a "Beat-it" drum for kids.

There'll probably a thriller rollercoaster.

No I wanna go to the punk rock show! (whoever gets that is awesome)

Every ticket comes with a free rape session for those that are 12 or under

Every seat is equipped with a mold of michael jackson's dick for kids to sit on, special adult seats lacking this feature are also available.

I'd go to it. If it wasn't in fucking Gary, Indiana

Nice title.

Gary is a shithole, you do NOT want to go there. Walking through downtown is like fuckin Silent Hill, everything's closed up and abandoned. [url]http://www.forbidden-places.net/urban-exploration-gary-indiana-ghost-town[/url]

Yay go on the ball fondler machine

This is just like the South Park episode.

Will be interesting to see how this turns out in the future. Also From one of the articles on the sight about another theme park: and -- my favorite -- Hundeprutterutchebane. Also known as "Dog Fart Switchback," Hundeprutterutchebane [b]takes riders on a fun-filled journey around a hound's piles of poop and allows them to listen to the sounds of his farts.[/b] Ah, this ride gives new meaning to the phrase "the wind in my face." What...the...fuck.

I'm sorry to say, but the last thing Gary needs is a fucking Michael Jackson park. I know that yes, he was a great pop icon, hell, I even like some of his stuff, but the fact is, Gary doesn't need a Michael Jackson park. Gary needs HELP. For those of you that don't know, Gary still has a high rate of homicides per capita, and if I remember right, in 2004 it was #1 in the world. There's about 100,000 people in Gary. And don't get me started on Mayor Rudy Clay. My father is a firefighter in Gary, has been since the early 80's. He's worked there all his life. In 2008, Members of the fire department were forced to take a 20% pay cut. When that was found illegal, Clay then laid off 13 or 14 people, and the remaining people were either sometimes forced to take a furlough day, or just not report due to under-manning. Every day when I listen to my radio, there is a sort of 'roll call'. It's sickening to hear "Out-of-service" more than eight times. Why? Because some of the rigs are in pathetic shape. Sometimes there's not enough people on a shift to even man a station. Overtime pay is non-existent, so when the time for shift change comes around, there's usually only about 5 rigs available until enough people arrive. And it's not only the rigs that are in bad shape, it's also their equipment. Turnout gear, the stuff worn by firefighers, is normally tan/light tan. You look at them operating at a fire, and some of the firefighers are wearing turnout gear that's dark brown, even black(Which is a sign that the gear is weakened, and won't offer nearly as much protection.)And some of them don't even wear their gear at all. And this is only the fire department I'm talking about. Think about the citizens, they're paying double digit taxes for piddly-ass mayor clay to drive around in his Hummer H3, they receive less-than-adequate public services, and the city's still a shithole. Is a michael jackson park REALLY needed? [url]http://www.in.gov/dlgf/files/Gary_Constituent_Packet_16.pdf[/url]
