Every morning I walk through an alley from the parking lot down around the corner to the building I work in. I find it odd that this alley smells exactly the way I remember the one near the foreign students dormitory of Northwest University in Xi'an, China smelling. Do you suppose alleys pretty much smell the same the world over?

Trekland: Paramount Announces the Final Frontier of Fun!

Paramount Parks, a leading developer and operator of regional theme
parks and location-based entertainment attractions, has announced
plans for an all-new, completely original theme park based on one of
entertainment's biggest franchises — Star Trek. The new park, to be
called "Trekland," is slated to open by the year 2010 at Golden Gate
Park in San Francisco, future home to Starfleet and the spot where
Kirk landed a cloaked bird-of-prey.
In this bold move, Paramount Parks offers a new destination that
promises to be "The Final Frontier of Fun" as visitors from around
the world come to seek out new rides and new adventures.

The proposed attractions include: the Antimatter Horn; It's a Thrall
World; Orion Pirates of the Caribbean; Great Nanoseconds with Mr.
Data; Captain Picard's Wild Ride; Vash Mountain; Country Targ
Jamboree; Haunted Mess Hall; Janus VI Cruise; Enchanted Horga'hn
Room, Main Street U.F.P.; Starfleet Tours; Morn-o-rail; Odo-pia;
Harry Mudd Hatter; the U.S.S. Columbia starship; Dr. Noonien Soong's
Treehouse; and the Cyrano Jones and the Tribbles of Doom Adventure.

Different sections of the park will be themed by easily identifiable
areas such as "Final Frontierland," "Risaland," "Mirror
Universeland," "Vorta's Weyountown" and "Return to Tomorrowland."

(Disclaimer: The name Trekland, and the proposed rides and
attractions bear no resemblance to things living or otherwise, on
this planet or the next. Any resemblance is purely coincidental if,
in fact, there is any resemblance. But there isn't, so if any of the
attractions resemble names of other attractions at any theme parks
in the world today it is purely an alternate fiction. Herewith, and
in perpetuity.)

More news as it breaks...


oh yeah and... )
