Articles: Dracula Park |
Posted by

The Romanian Ministry of Tourism wants to build this thing called Dracula Park near Sighisoara. A lot of people are obviously against this, as the project entrepreneurs want to build this thing in a protected natural reservation with 400+ year old oaks. The funny thing is that the initiators of the project put up a website which is full of blatant grammar mistakes. Hey, even when I was in 3rd form my English was a lot better than *that*.
I'm not against vampire amusement parks but this will only fuck up on vampire culture. There are already very cool places to visit in Transylvania. For instance you can go to Bran Castle. Or maybe visit some of the 70+ medieval churches? And these are all *authentic*, not some shitty attempt to create silly vampire amusement parks over natural reservations!
Heck, they probably want to attract tourists too. Could they at least spell right?
Look at this:
"Vlad Tepes asked him agane the same question and the monk gived him the same answer: that the people are very happy with him. Then Vlad Tepes putted the soldiers to execute him for concealling the truth."
Or this:
"What miracle made posslbe that fame of a leader of a small principality, from the heaps of states of an Europe disintegrated feudal descentralise, 'to get widen', as the chronicar would say, over the edge of horizont? "
And it goes on and on. I can't believe they put such a website online. Shame! Here's some more reading if you're interested. I certainly want to hear your opinion on this.

I'd visit this place when it opened....
If only to hop on a tricycle, strip naked, and throw molotov coctails. That would probably close the place down, don't you think?

Hell, I've postponed my honeymoon for the opening of this! I dont' like the idea of ruining prime central european old growth trees or habitat, but put in some dump and renovate the land around it and I"m SOOO THERE! It sounds like they're hamming it up...sort of mixing history with old hollywood horror, which is just my tastes. From what I've read in articles scattered about the place, they will have a mix of historical attractions as well as the "hollywood" dracula, via multiple theaters that show every incarnation of the prince of darkness since alexander granach stepped onto the silent scream via murnau's 1912 "nosferatu".
I'm excited..but my hopes aren't up...wonder if they'll have any rides shaped like bats....
woooo!
bring on the bloodymary's!
