DPP lawmakers push to establish military theme park (http://www.etaiwannews.com/Taiwan/2002/09/23/1032749939.htm) - Taiwan News, 9/23/02



A group of legislators from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) suggested yesterday that the government push for the establishment of a military theme park based on a "state-owned, privately-managed" formula to create new jobs.

The lawmakers, including Trong Chai, Lin Chin-hsing, Chiang Chao-yi and Lee Chen-nan, said in a joint press release that the government could utilize a military base to accommodate the proposed amusement park, but no location or plan to vacate military space has been chosen yet.

"We should select a suitable deserted military plot of land to build a world-class theme park featuring combat skills performances, shooting games and military equipment exhibitions, " they said in the news release.



Alas, my Press Release source doesn't have the Taiwan Press release... oh well..

So do we have some competition for Disney already in China?????

Hardly! Let's see, were I the average Chinese parent, would I rather take little Zhao to THIS, or Disneyland? Wait a minute - if I were the average Chinese parent, I wouldn't have the money for a Disneyland visit. MartialLand, here we come!
