Wow, Euro Disney will be quaking in fear at the competition!

Gulag rides? Stale bread in the concession stands? Prison for anyone who complains?

Forced confessions for 10 Euros, anyone?

How about forcing everyone to work for peanuts in the amusement park while the directors live in luxury? Ah, those were the days!

Since this is East Germany...Trabant rides if they can find any still running.

You know, ya gotta love such a goofy idea. I'd love to be a commie for a day. LOL.

When the park fails, taxpayers can bail it out.

[speedy]

Ja, anyone trying to leave the park will be shot.

I can't wait for the Virtual Reality experience: Escape under the Berlin Wall !!!

Excellent. Long lines for everything. Out of stock concession stands for 27 days every month. No toilet paper in the sole unisex restroom. Cigarretes used for currency and bartering.

I like it already! Where do I sign up?

[friendly]

Wow!.. ancient cars, repressive secret police, stultifying propaganda, worthless currency, etc, etc...

Achtung Mein Herren! IT"S CALLED CUBA!!!!

[eddie willers]

What are they doing to Eric Clapton?

If this works, my idea of creating Hell On Earth should be a big success. I never figured people would pay fifty bucks to go to Hell, but maybe they would.

"The aim isn't to make big joke out of East Germany," ..

And yet they seem to be doing such a good job of it.

[Cultural Jihad]

Ja, anyone trying to leave the park will be shot.

Perzactly. ;)

To enter, you have to climb over a wall.

[Experiment 6-2-6]

Massine Productions GmbH hopes to recreate a 10,000-square metre (107,600 sq ft) replica of East Germany, complete with surly border guards, rigorous customs inspections, authentic East German mark notes, and restaurants with regulation bland East German food.

I hate to spoil it for everyone, but I'm living with surly cops, rigorous customs inspections each time I come and go, and lousy restaurants with bland food. (when they're not out of certain stuff). Only thing missing in my life are the East German marks!

Somehow I can't imagine ANYONE paying to undergo what I've been through the last seven years. 'course, I've got beaches, sunshine, and lots of alcohol. Something East Germany never had.

[Cultural Jihad]

May we all be so underprivileged. ;)

[baseballfanjm]

Heck, make people get creative to get in, like those who tried to get past the Wall. Even better, machine guns and dogs!

The East German National Anthem:


Hail, hail East Germany
Land of vine and grape.
Land where you'll regret
Any try to escape
No matter if you tunnel under
Or take a running jump at the wall,
Forget it, the guards will kill you
If the electric fence doesn't first.
