27 May 2010

The world’s very first “experiential video game theme park & resort” has been announced. 

The aim of the park seems to be to build a theme park with rides based on video games. Sounds cool right?

Well don’t get too excited, because round trip flights to the US are sitting at around R14,000 at the moment.

From the site

Game Nation™ is the world’s first Experiential Video Game Theme Park and Resort. Visitors will become players as they step into a realistic re-creation of a world filled with myths, legends and arenas all crying out for their champion.  As you pass through the gates, you’ll leave behind all worldly stereotypes. You’re now one of millions, all equal, separated only by your skill, wit, and achievements, which will be proven. Your experience points and score are recognized by the guardians of this domain.  As players walk by, recruits are saluted and veterans are bowed down to.  You are guided to the armory where you must select your weapon.  You choose from majestic relics, whimsical hardware or advanced gear. Here your dreams and fantasies will come to life in adventures yet to be told. You will become anything you like and live out the character you create. But this is no game. It’s real! Welcome to Game Nation!

“I remember when I was younger and playing video games, soon after finishing a game, I would wish that world was real, so I could be part of it.”  said Ruke, Creator of Game Nation.  “It’s fantastic, that people will get to realize everything they have seen in a video game, is coming to life at Game Nation”.

In the next 12 months, Game Nation will be deciding the best location for the Experiential Theme Park.
