Geno’s Favorite Theme Park Doesn’t Exist

The admission cost of free fits my budget. Parking is a breeze. Google Maps may not help you find it. But you’ll have a blast at Fake Theme Park.

Oh sure I love to ride Falcon's Fury in the dark at Busch Gardens. I love that Aerosmith's Rockin' Rollercoaster is right next to another one of my favorite rides Tower Of Terror at Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. And nothing got me more excited to ride Rip Ride Rockit at Universal Orlando than when I found a website that had the hacks so you can program your own song during the ride. But none of these give me as much pleasure on a daily basis than Fake Theme Park.

The admission cost of free fits my budget. Parking is a breeze. Google Maps may not help you find it. Former Universal Studios Tour Guide Jason Ginsburg created Fake Theme Park. It's simply a Twitter account where announcements are made to theme park goers and employees of a theme park that doesn't exist. 

You get the idea. Scroll back up to the top of this page and listen to my talk with Jason about @FakeThemePark. Who was its first famous follower? What inspired the idea? And we talk about his new eBook "If The Princess Rolls Her Eyes, Your Wish Will Come True."
