This past weekend I really enjoyed a weekend away with the family and spent it at one of the biggest amusement parks in the Netherlands, The Efteling. It is quite big and has a lot of fun things to do, including a fairy tale forest, various playgrounds, entertaining rides through various environments and several rollercoasters. As we also stayed at a house we rented from the amusement park the TV had a themed channel. It showed the making of one of the wooden rollercoasters. The special thing about it is that it’s two rollercoasters next to each other, where you can see the other people and the two are racing each other to the end. A very cool ride, but it wouldn’t be The Efteling if they hadn’t themed it. The story behind it is that it represents the fight of a boy against a dragon, which is translated as a fight between fire and water. They even had made a short film about it which I wouldn’t know about if I would have just went into the ride. It made me think about turning rides into movies. Pirates of the Caribbean is a well-known example, but there are probably more. So this week’s question:

Are there any amusement park rides you would like to be turned into a movie?
