Would you love a Dragon Ball theme park?

Post by Dragon Ball Gus » Sun Aug 26, 2018 10:38 am

So yesterday, I went to Waldameer. If you don't know what that is, it's a theme park over at Erie, Pennsylvania. And I loved it, it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. But it got me thinking, "What would it be like if there was a theme park centered around Dragon Ball?"

Now before anyone brings it up, yes I know, there is a theme park in Japan called J-World that has Dragon Ball in it. But that's not technically a Dragon Ball theme park, it's more so an anime in general theme park. I'm talking about a theme park exclusively about Dragon Ball. You know like how Kameha-Con is a convention strictly for Dragon Ball. So with that said, let me ask you guys, would you love a Dragon Ball exclusive theme park?
Caulifla best girl! :)

Depends on how tastefully they do it (which, being Japan, is unlikely). The roller coaster better be riding on Shenron though!

Hell yeah. Any big Dragon Ball related projects I'd be down for. Great way for fans to meet too.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:

Yeah, but I'd love even more a Nintendo Theme Park to ride around like an IRL Mario Kart stage (which is possible in Japan) and play a Super Mario stage.

I don't think so. I don't see tournaments and battlefields being made into attractions. And furthermore I think theme parks are too commercialized, eg Disneyland.

I like the idea of a Shenron rollercoaster though.
"Don't take pleasure in destruction!" / "I will not let you destroy my world!"
A true hero goes beyond not the limits of power, but the limits that divide countries and people.

If they do, then they have to make a “You must be this tall to ride” sign for the rides and use Commander Red as the benchmark.

It'd actually be awesome if it were peeking out over the park walls with a beam of light where the Dragon Balls are. And then at the end the riders are showered with "comfortable underwear".

A kart stage would be tons of fun.
