Artist Banksy created an anti-Disneyland theme park, which will provide grimness for the whole family for the next five weeks in Weston-super-mare, England.
The faceless artist employed artists Escif, Maskull Lasserre, Kate McDowell, Paco Pomet, Dietrich Wegner, Michael Beitz, Brock Davis, Ronit Baranga and others to contribute art to the exhibit.
The "bemusement park" is a far more affordable alternative to its Disney counterpart, with a £3 admission ticket you can enjoy similar attractions that are far more decrepit and ironic versions of the ones at the happiest place on Earth.
Here's a view of the park under an appopriately grey sky.
The event's brochure includes, "Are you looking for an alternative to the soulless sugar-coated banality of the average family day out? Or just somewhere cheaper. Then this is the place for you—a chaotic new world where you can escape from mindless escapism. Instead of a burger stall, we have a museum. In place of a gift shop we have a library, well, we have a gift shop as well...Bring the whole family to come and enjoy the latest addition to our chronic leisure surplus—a bemusement park. A theme park who's big theme is: theme parks should have bigger themes...This event contains adult themes, distressing imagery, extended use of strobe lighting, smoke effects and swearing. The following items are strictly prohibited: knives, spraycans, illegal drugs, and lawyers from the Walt Disney corporation."
Enter the magic castle, but look out Cinderella had an accident on her way to the ball.
Disneyland has Space Mountain and The Matterhorn, but does it have a rotating mobile home? I don't think so.
