Does this really sound like a good idea?

The other day I read an article suggesting a Hunger Games theme park may be in the works. For details, click here.

So, let me get this straight. Somebody somewhere read the book or watched the movie all about kids being put in a life or death Gladiator situation and thought, “Hmm, that would make a cool family attraction.”

Then this person presented the idea to a group of people who said, “Yeah, this could work!” I am so curious about that power point presentation but also terrified of it just a little bit.

Is it something I would pay money to go to? At this time, I’d have to say I’ll pass. No thank you. Na-uh. No possible way. You first.

What are your thoughts?

More Hunger Games?

I agree. I don’t understand what makes the movie so great. Kids killing each other over a game? Lame.

Oh, I like the story. I just don’t want to live it personally 🙂

I barely know what the hunger games is about other than a brief outline and the fact that I hear it’s name mentioned nearly everyday! 🙂 It doesn’t really appeal to me that much. Survival films or TV series have always left me feeling unmoved. Whether it’s a good idea for a theme park, I don’t know, I suppose some would love it. But really, it comes down to – any excuse to make a lot of money! 😉

Don’t get me wrong – I like the story (well, the first two books. I get the feeling the author got a little tired of the story by the third one). I just do not want to live them! That’s why I read – to escape realism for a bit 🙂
