BANKSY Theme Park Opens In England

________________________________________________________________________________________________


Spray paint, marker pens, knives and 
are banned from the site.
 
The "Dismaland" theme park is located in a derelict outdoor
swimming pool centre in Weston-super-Mare, a coastal town 
near Bristol in the west of England.

Visitors will be greeted  by a burned-out version 
of the famous Disneyland castle...


It features a riot van built to patrol 
the streets of Northern Ireland, 
altered to boast a brightly-coloured slide 
alongside its water cannon.

In one fairground game, visitors can steer 
miniature boats full of asylum seekers
around a pond.


The exhibition opens this Saturday until September 27

The sky banner in the second image reads
Absolutely no refunds under any circumstances

This  CNN  video + 18 more images
is an eminently worthy supplement to this page.

  1. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
    I thought it should be larger and permanent,
    but then I realized, it is.

    Permanent...NO (unfortunately).

  3. The real dismal land,
    Not just Pakistan
    The whole earth brand.

    1. But we'd still have to count
      every grain of sand
      before the earth
      does disband.
