While procrastinating away, I came across this little news story:
http://www.vtpglobal.com/
Basically it is a company that wishes to build theme parks within skyscrapers, so-called VTPs (Vertical Theme Park). Think of it as a massive extension to the New York, New York style roller-coaster in Las Vegas.
The company currently has six designs planned out which incorporate such ideas as rooftop roller-coasters (dubbed sky-coasters), bungee jumping and more family friendly attractions. They are currently trying to get one built in Birmingham, UK with mix support from city planners and council members.
Do you think it is a good idea, is it the future of theme parks, and more importantly, would you pay to go on the thrill rides?
