'Theme Park' - Land of OZ


Land of OZ train ride

After researching this a bit I found a Land of Oz in Kentucky and they have live actors.

"Travel Over the Rainbow to Beech Mountain, North Carolina and celebrate Land of Oz’s annual Autumn at Oz Festival – one of the world’s largest Wonderful Wizard of Oz events! "

Everyone knows this brand - it's a big IP (Intellectual Property). I'm not sure how feasible this would be because you would have to buy the rights to The Wizard of Oz from MGM. But ...I would really want to do the MGM version as that is what everybody would love to see.



So now this theme park idea is a little bigger and it has a traditional miniature train ride. You make a lot of characters and a lot of cool locations. The main ones I can think of are ... Munchinville, forest w talking trees, evil castle w flying monkeys, Emerald city. I think people would really enjoy characters from the other Oz books like ... Pumpkinhead, chinacup girl, etc.



"Hold on to your ruby red slippers and repave the yellow brick road: A “Wizard of Oz” remake is in the works at New Line Cinema. As an adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s beloved book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” Baum’s story has been retold on the big and small screen many times over the years; the most memorable being the classic 1939 musical starring Judy Garland."
