Photos from an unofficial Chinese WoW-theme park

[jme]

Found this photo set from an unlicensed theme park in China based around the popular video game, World of Warcraft. Some pretty heavy theming on some of the elements but some of the larger area shots show that they lack that immersive feel and it feels overly cement (little to no landscaping)
Still thought it would be interesting for most people to look at.

Wonder if thats air pollution or just over cast?

From what I know, China has a bad problem with air pollution, especially around big cities. I believe China uses a lot of coal for their power needs.

I agree it does look like a cool park.

China loves their unlicensed parks, don't they?

Wow (pun!), awesome, that looks like IOA 2.0!

Interesting that the one photo of the ride entrance states no one over 60.

Meh. It probably won't be that way for long. From what I've read, these Chinese bootleg parks tend not to fare very well and are generally stripped of their infringements once a legal team calls them on it.

How do ECV's make it up all those stairs???? And where are photos of the napkins?

Not a WoW fan but that looks awesome.

Never played WoW in my life, but the park looks really cool

I don't know anything about WoW, so I had my son look at the pics.
He doesn't actually play WoW, but is familiar with the game's environments, and proclaimed these photos "DIRTY", which I believe is high praise, indeed.

Get back to Islands of Adventure Seuss Landing! You don't belong here...

Oh god! You too Mythos?!

The HORROR!

World Joyland also has a "Starcraft" themed area featuring the ambitious B&M Flyer yet built- Starry Sky Ripper.

I've never played Wow, please tell me why there is a Kung Fu Panda noodle shop?

The HORROR!

It must be good....Thor apparently eats there (lower right corner).

Actually, in all seriousness the themeing and detail of this eatery look pretty well done.

If it didn't rip-off Mythos!

I believe there is a panda in the game, so I guess they put him as theming??

I am not really in the know on the Mythos stuff. Is it poorly done by comparison to the original? Even though China is known for rip-offs do we know for sure that it is in fact not authorized? Not challenging anyone just curious.
