Geno’s Favorite Theme Park Doesn’t Exist
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.
We’d like to remind guests that the park closed three hours ago.

Cast Members, @WQYKGeno will be in the park today, so please pretend that Tampa Bay has a rich sports history and country music is "cool."

We've just been informed there's some sort of Jewish holiday in December and we are definitely looking into it!!!

Unfortunately, it was canceled when it turned out to actually be PSY. RT @wqykgeno: @FakeThemePark What time does the PSY tribute act go on?

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.”
Leaving the park? Just take the tram to the bus to the shuttle to the monorail to the ferry to the tram!

Cast Members, it is not an "escaped leopard." It is "an interactive leopard experience."
