What's the weirdest theme park in the world? Welcome to Good Mythical More. We're gonna walk you through some weird theme parks by being walked through some weird theme parks. We're going to go there in our minds. Yeah, and via photos and facts and stuff. Some of these we have perhaps touched on in the past, but we've been doing this show for a long time, so I think we've all forgotten. Of course. Um, if they're still there, I'm interested. This first one, uh, Holiday World is a theme park divided into four sections that celebrate a different holiday. Christmas, Halloween, the 4th of July and Thanksgiving. Yes, good job. And there's a Splashin' Safari. Uh, open in 1946. It's in Santa Claus, Indiana, and it was originally named Santa Claus Land and was entirely themed around Christmas because the parks founder didn't like the idea that you could visit a town called Santa Claus. And not meet Santa Claus year round. Right. So that was the whole, that is a problem if you don't problem solved. You don't like an idea, solve it by creating a theme park. Yes. It's hard, it's hard to get a, like a, a theme park going, a small theme park like your own theme park going, I think in 1946. Post-war. I feel like it was a time of extreme optimism. It was a, it was a time to start selling burgers to everybody, but also to open theme parks like this. This was the window in which you could accomplish something like this. Did you say selling burgers to everybody? Yeah. What? What do you mean by that? I mean, that's like when fast food was getting off the ground and stuff. Okay. I'm talking about, you know, all right. Post, post-war, thriving. That was happening in our country. Yeah. It wasn't until 1984 when Halloween and 4th of July were added, and then 2006, when Thanksgiving was added, so it, Christmas for a long time. If you're gonna make a Thanksgiving land, like that is a, that, that is a very, very strong choice. You're like, yeah, why would you make that Thanksgiving isn't getting enough love? I'm gonna create, oh, they have a good gravy ride. Yeah. Good Gravy is a roller coaster in which riders help characters. Grandma Gracie and Grandpa Gavin make more gravy for Thanksgiving dinner by riding the ride, I mean. This place looks really put together. Well Link. Can I just tell you, I'm sorry, Stevie, I'm stepping on your information, but I would like to announce that this was voted the Friendliest Park by the Golden Ticket Awards from 1998 to 2008 and it was voted the Cleanest Park by the Golden Ticket Awards from 2000 to 2018. Oh, wow. Now, incidentally, I do believe that the people who conduct the Golden Ticket Awards are the same people who started this particular theme park. Maybe so. The invent Burish. Rhett did you see your, your cousin Luke took that picture of Good Gravy? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He gets around, I've seen all these before. He's put, he put 'em in the Shared Family Theme Park album. I, I mean, I, I might be tempted to go to this if I had some kid that I wanted to like get outta my hair. Well, you know, you've got like, we have a friend who has taken his kids to every major league baseball stadium. 'cause he's a big baseball fan. What about taking your kid to every single theme park? Think about, there's just so many, huh? Well I'm glad you brought that up. Uh, 'cause our next theme park is called Jeju and it is a love Jeju Love Land. It's a sex theme park Just go, sure. Park. Okay. Well leave the kids in the car. Yeah. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that statue. Oh wow. It's like a, oh my, it's like a psychedelic Spider-Man wrapped around a, a, a plaster person. Oh. And look in the back. Hold on. I, I'm looking at the one that's interesting. What are you talking about Right here in the foreground? No, look at the threesome. Well, everything's interesting, Rhett. I, well, I'm just saying, my eyes immediately bypassed that and went straight to the man standing there with, uh. A couple of women precariously place ladies, that is gonna have to be blurred. Yes, we have left these un blurred for you, uh, so that you can really give a good description of everything. But, um, this is in South Korea? In South Korea opened in 2004 and in the seventies. Jeju Island became a honeymoon destination for arranged marriage newlyweds, and it also became a center of sex education as a result. And so I guess that inspired, uh, this park, which has 140 sex sculptures. I, I've heard about the so arranged marriages. The, the, the, the coupling of these two, two ideas of the arranged marriage, but then the sex education that comes along with that. I don't, I think it was a documentary I saw where they had everyone. In these classes in Korea, and they were just teaching like thousands of people at the same time. They were teaching them very explicit things about sex. It's like, okay, you get married and then you do this. We might as well, you know, they're trying to stoke the fires of, of romance, so it's simultaneously, you've gotta like, you gotta get the kindling burning, you know, it's like simultaneously a little bit repressive, but also liberated at the same time, I guess. I don't know. I mean. This notable attraction. I just, we, this would not be something that I think we could do here. It's called the masturbation cycle. As you pedal flaps on the, well stimulate between your legs. What that is notable, uh oh. That was meant to say wheel and, and, and so you're in a line and you're watching everyone in front of you participate, and then, then you hop on and get the same treatment. Mm-hmm. That's just good fun. We should have, get some of those at Mythical in the, you know what I'm saying? Oh, is that a water fountain or a urinal? Maybe the urinal will never break. If it we, if it looks like that, I think it is a water fountain. It's like they're peeing into a urinal. It catches the water if you don't fill up your water bottle with it that These are all great questions. Good Lord, this is so wild. This is so weird. Oh my gosh. Um, okay. Well, I think if I was in South Korea. I'd find, I dunno where, where Jeju Island is. I don't know how far out of the beaten, off the beaten path this is beaten path, no joke needed. Okay, next. Okay. This is Ai Pioppi. Ai Pioppi. It's a homemade amusement park where all the rides are powered manually by the rider. Um, and they were all built by hand. And the owner says that the important and beautiful thing about the park is if you want to play, you have to push and sweat, otherwise the ride won't move. Uh, it is in Italy. And it is free to attend. I was kind of feeling like it might be free. It's free, but are any of the rides capable of masturbating you? Let's not go back to that. Okay. Well, there is the Wheel of Death, a pedal powered cage on a looped track. Whoa, that's impressive. I don't know if I would've participate. Whoa. So you are pedaling, empowering yourself around the loop and you go upside down. And it looks like it's got a counterweight of some kind, so maybe it's not impossible to do. Yeah. And I, and someone's in the other one, and you're probably going opposite each other. I'm, I'm changing my tune a little bit. This is free. I ain't Pioppi. I mean, I wouldn't, it is, I don't know if I call it an amusement park as much as a jungle gym. He, he made everything, he learned how to weld and then he started making these things. Well, in a way it's like, yeah, good for you. And another way it's like, do I wanna get on that? I don't. Right. I don't know. Do you? I mean, you kinda need to have engineer seals on all this stuff. I hope I'm into this kind of thing. You know, somebody's like, especially when you call it the wheel of death. There, the, there's obviously, if, if you like, were paying, you know, Disney prices or something like, for this, you'd be super disappointed, but it's free. You show up and he's made this incredible thing and you get to experience it, make a memory, go around in a loop, potentially die, could come look at the bobsled. Those are always fun. Those, um, those like mountain uh, rollercoasters. One, they never done one. They got one in North Carolina that is very fun. And Banner Elk, if you find yourself in Banner Elk, did it look like the one on the left, the bob or the red bobsled on the, on the right. It was the like highest tech version of a single person cart. So kind of a mix of those two. But, but you had, you had to break it. You had to apply brakes yourself. You don't, you don't have to apply brake, but I was afraid to do it. You can up coming up on the person in front of you if you don't slow down. But I guess theoretically you could do it without breaks, but I just don't know how crazy it would get. It's very fun. Are we going here or are we not going here? I think we're going here, yeah. Okay. If I find myself in Bataglia Bataglia, bat, bat, bat. All right. Yeah. Somewhere in Italy. Um, okay. This next one we did talk about 10 years ago. It is Imsil Cheese Theme Park, which is a theme park about cheese. Uh, South Korea, also in South Korea. Got it. 2011. Um, this is where domestic Korean cheese was first produced, so that's why they did it. And, uh, what do they have? Whoa. A big cheese building. Holy moly. I mean, this is an expensive theme park. It's cool. It says 39 billion South Korean won is what it took to build this park. Oh, I, I thought that was a mission to say no, good Lord, that what the exchange, right, inflation, $26.5 million to build this place is, is beautiful and so cheesy. Now when she's entered Korea, that was a big deal because cheese is not typically part of that cuisine, I guess, and so. 1950s, you got a, a Belgian missionary. He starts making his own cheese and then they, and then they start, then they say, we gotta make a theme park. Right. Well, in 2011 years later. But is there a laser tag? Because I don't like laser tag. I kind of need to know if there's laser tag. Yeah, they do have laser tag. Yes. Any more pictures of this? Okay, so the one on the right is clearly a masturbation ride. Look at what? Look at what that cow is doing to the mushroom or is that a cat? That's a cat. That's a cow. It's a cow. I think it's a cat. It's a cat. But cats don't make cheese. Can cats make cheese? Well, that's a good point. I mean, if you trained it well, cats can poop in to human toilets, but how much milk can you, can you get from a cat? Well, I just think that they're like churning. Or whatever you do to make cheese. Their employees. Oh, so it's cats making cow cheese. I'm trying to figure out, I'm glad we cleared that up so far. It doesn't look like you ride on anything. Is there anything to ride on? That's a good point. They're probably selling cheese though. Yeah, you can make your own cheese. Cheese, cheese. I'm not going to South Korea for anything. Cheese. Well, but you're didn't We already have, isn't that where the sex. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Park is, so two for one. Yeah. I don't know how close Imsill is to Jeju Island. Mm-hmm. One of my favorite memories from our trip to, uh, South Korea Holland was the tulips. The day that we did the tour where we went to the tulip field, we went to the little. Windmills wind mill and saw the wood shoes, you know, all the touristy stuff. But then we stopped in that town that had that cheese store that they were making all the gutta, and they had so many different types of gutta and so many different ages of gutta. And of course I got very, very excited. Your wife also got very excited. Okay. My wife got excited. You didn't seem that excited, but we got a bunch of cheese and we took it home and I. Enjoyed that cheese I had. There was a, there was a like a, a two year. A five year and a 10 year maybe, and I just had it in the fridge and I would just eat a teeny little bit of, and I, each one you rationed it. I and I, that was the one of the best years of my life was just having those three cheeses in my fridge. Sometimes that's all it takes. It's just having a little cheese in your fridge. That's just the right thing. And I haven't been able to find any guta as guta as that 10 year cheese that we bought at that place. Maybe you and Jamie need to go back there. Oh yeah. Yeah. Um, he, he was telling me all about Relet, you know, which I've had before, which is Switzerland, Switzerland, cheese. You could see his parents and then you can give him proper goodbye. What else? We got the, the two, the, the sex park and the cheese park are a little too far away. Uh, okay. You know, I'm sorry. I would just go to the sex park and then the cigarette park across the street. Okay. Perfect. Afterward. Um, the next one is Shijingshan Park. It's a non Disney theme park themed after Disney. What? Disney loves his a rip off Disney. Yeah. Disney loves it. It's in China, opened in 1986. It's owned and operated by the local government and the slogan used to be Disney is too far to go, please come to Shijingshan. And now it is happy, healthy, and high. Yeah, it probably helps. It probably helps if you're high. This is the three things. Um, well look at this. Ripoff characters, I mean. You can't really do that, I guess, unless you're in China and you're the government. It happens all the time. Yeah, because the, the copyrights on all this stuff don't apply in China. It's, you know, it's, it is an American copyright, right? So you have the option of respecting it, and a lot of people do, but often. China doesn't. So they got a big like dehumidifier in the corner or something and they're like, because of all that water, they're, what? Is Walt Disney gonna unfreeze himself and come over here and stop us? Probably not. It's also a myth that he was cryo frozen, but anyway. Mm-hmm. I think they're now, they're now dancing around things like they have a ride called Adventure of Jones instead of Indiana Jones. Yeah. But we know what you mean. We know what you mean. Wow. That great. Any, any more pictures from it like. Do they? Okay. Adventure. Urass adventure. Well, is a letter missing? Yeah. I mean it depends on what day of the week it is. If you're up for a your ass adventure. Um, now I don't recognize, I think that's supposed to be Jurassic. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. I can see it. I get it. I see it now. Now I don't recognize the characters. The IP on the right there. What is that? Zombies? I think that's Up. Yeah, that's the house. Clearly. That's the house that floated. Mm-hmm. Okay. Okay. Landed in a, in an apocalypse. Now we're talking. That's very Disney. Yeah, it is. Hold on. What do we got? Why do we got a baby? Bring your baby. Now. That one, the woman on the ride, woman in the middle. That's a, that's a recognizable Victoria's secret model. Is it not? It looks like that. Uh, woman from the. Early aughts probably. And then I don't know why we got a baby though, because this is a baby ride. You know? Put the baby on the bumper car. Just hold 'em in your arms. Anything else? Because we're not impressed yet. Yeah, yeah. We're not going to this one adventure of Johans. We're not skipping over to China after we go to South Korea at this point. I think that's, I think that's all we got. Well, let's go to the next one. Okay. This one we also talked about 10 years ago. Bon Bon Land. Still going strong. Uh, yeah. It's an off color amusement park with wall-to-wall farting dogs, puking rats and cows with exposed breasts for the whole family. Mm-hmm. Fine. So it's just like an off color themed park. It's in Denmark and it opened in 1992. How off color does it get? Look at that. It is a nauseous turtle that's off color. There's no vomit coming out though. That's fine. Those aren't like supposed to be turtle teets. Uh, those are dangling turtle teets. It kinda looks like that. The turtle is being like, um, just pelted with something. Like I'm imagining these kids are sending like poisonous darts into the bottom of this turtle and killing it. I understand. Or it could be that the turtle is also a shower head. Hmm. And this is just the beginning of the shower? Yeah. Showers just start. It's like, and it hurts every time you turn the shower on. When was the last time you were on a ride like that? The, these swing rides, uh, pretty recently. They're super fun, but I am constantly thinking about dying when I'm on 'em. Because I just like, I keep looking up at the thing and I'm like, ah, that thing. It's just like any, anything zip lines. I did that para sale thing with Shepherd one time. I just can't not, you don't like anything that you're tethered by something. Yeah, I'm just like, it can just pop loose. This could break. It's like it's gonna happen to somebody. It might be me. But those are fun for every other reason you reach a certain age, and we're definitely past that age where you start to look like that turtle get sick on anything. The vestibular system is not cooperative. Oh, you're starting to notice that? Yeah. I mean, I've always gotten sick on rides and so I can do like one or two, you know. But you're saying you've started to notice it? Yeah. The last time I went, I mean it might have been four or five years ago, I went to, um. Six Flags. Oh yeah. With so many, you know, so many rollercoasters. You get off one rollercoaster, get on another one, and then it's, it's just, yeah. I needed more recovery to my refractory period. Yep. Has gotten a lot shorter for amusement park rides. You learned about the refractory period at that sex school in Korea, right? When you and Christy had your arranged marriage. Yeah, so this. What's happening to this octopus? Yeah. I mean, not, not too much. Yeah, exactly. There's not like, I guess there's like a bunch of poop in places. Yeah. This isn't going far enough. I wanna see boobs on a cow. You, you tease that? I don't remember seeing it. I don't, I don't see, I'm not gonna be googling that, but I don't see it in anything because isn't that just utters? It's just the utters. But if they had like human boobs, like breast implants, you could, yeah, you could make it. I'd be into Googling that. You could make it under a cow. With breast implants. Feel more like a human breast. Somebody Google that cow with human breasts. Genetically engineered. I'm gonna share it. You're gonna share it with you. Okay. Maybe just describe it. Is this AI. Boobed cow. It's, I mean, how else do you describe it? It's a, um, what do you call it when they give, uh, something human traits. Um, anthropomorphized. Anthropomorphized. It's very, Moochelle like, it's sitting on a stool in a red dress, and the dress has been dropped beneath the bosom level. And so she's flashing us. She's flashing us. Yes. Yeah. Don't wanna see it. Yeah, it's not, I feel like I already have, I wanna see like the realistic version. Which I guess might have to be AI, but, so we're not gonna do that. Not gonna do it. If I had to choose one, it would be what? One of the, we just seen. Sex Park. Oh, Sex Park all the way. Get your food fix on the Mythical Kitchen channel now. I've, I've like ever lied. That was like the first time. Why is everyone laughing?
