The Echo & The Bunnymen Amusement Park

[withahip]

He's referring to Porcupine the ride. A short lived attraction at Knott's Berry Farm based on the early music of the Bunnymen. Being the Grey album hadn't been released yet, the ride didn't fare well in the states and was soon shut down.

Heaven Up Here, Thorn of Crowns and Angels and Devils were rides the new theme park was trying to capitalize on to entice members of the Christian Right and their Kingdom Bound ministries to attend the park. Investigation into the lyrics that inspired the rides caused the organization to pull out.

You are a dying breed
You are a dying breed
You once was an Inca
Now you're a Cherokee

Where are you now?
We're over here
We've got those empty pockets
And we can't afford the beer
We're smoking holes
And we've got only dreams
And we're so damn drunk
We can't see to steer

Characters would roam the park - including The Fish Hook Girl and the Man with the Necrophelia (and his boxes full of hair)

On the Midway you have attractions such as "Catch the Falling Star! It cuts your hands to PIECES!!! 2 Tries for $1.00"

Sorry - I feel very strongly that BF has stumbled onto an idea of pure genius and am determined it has its own thread.

where did this thread originate?

That was great. I'm still laughing at the possibilities of a Bunnymen theme park and the rides. Some of them would make us want more of Will's idea's I suppose. Would you get on a ride called "Happy Death Men" or "Rust"?

hahaha this is total genius. i can imagine some pretty scary "rides" with some song titles. LOL

I'm confused, is the beginning of this thread missing or am I just stupid?







Ah, I see now.

I'd like to know if this job has dental and the Man with the Necrophelia wants to know if there's a vision plan. He asked me to find out.
