It's possible a Bostonian accept may have helped with the confusion.

I'm slow this morning, because even with your orc puns, I never got it until I just read gbaji's Boston accent comment.

I didn't get the Orc-Ark pun til Koa pointed it out either. I'm from the midwest where an O is an O is an O.

I'm having flashbacks of getting swarmed by humanoid lizards while trying to climb temple walls though.

I spent some time looking it up. And with gbaji's "Bostonian accent"... I imagined Norm from New Yankee Workshop saying Ark Land.

It's not Ark/Orc.

It's Auckland (Ark Land). Apparently Auckland, New Zealand is where the Lord of the Rings movies were filmed.

Orc Land still sounds like way more fun than Ark Land. Mines of Moria Rollercoaster. Isengard Tower Drop, Eagle Gondolas, Tree-ent ziplines and playground, The Prancing Pony Restaurant,.... no end to the fun that could be had.

Joking about the park itself aside, it's not too much more idiotic than a hell of a lot of other things states subsidize. Want to bet that state money is involved in things like the "worlds largest ball of twine" and whatnot?

Also, the subsidy in this case is simply a lower property tax rate. On property that is currently unused/undeveloped and thus generating *zero* taxes. So the state isn't actually spending money at all. It's gaining revenue. And that's presumably aside from whatever other tax revenue the park itself brings in.

I'm still thinking that OrcLand would be a much much cooler park too!

Agreed, on all accounts. Something like this, as stupid as it may sound, could create lots of jobs (albeit, mostly crappy paying jobs).

I'm imagining something like Ned Flanders' game night with the kids... biblical board games.

An Orc is an Orc, of course, of course, and no one can talk to an Orc, of course..bah, nvm, doesn't seem as funny now that the Guinness has worn off.

So... Do they make the starting point horrible? Do they have like prostitutes and devil worship and snakes crawling around or something? Cause that seems like it would be bad for business. And if you're trying to get people to eat at the restaurants and shop at the shops, aren't you really sending a sort of mixed message?


Do you have to go through the lepers to get to the deep-fried Snickers bars? Cause the people who go to this particular theme park totally would.
