Is this a real theme park?

Graham Hancock said he doesn't agree with VOn Daniken's theories but he respects is open mindedness and willingness to challenge conventional viewpoints
 
Yep, it's real. Not much to see there, though.
ETA: I think I see a pattern: Hovind got his "Dino Adventure Park", von Daeniken got "Mystery Park" and I'm fully expecting to see Uri Geller's "Bent Spoon Adventure Paradise" next.

I had just never heard of it before. And the fact that is looks pretty large and really nice. I guess a lot of money came in from his books!
 
I've read in the local papers that this Mystery Park turned into a losing deal after a good first year, so I guess he'll have to write some more books soon.
 
I like that he has his office in the funny orb thing in the center, very mad scientist.

Wouldn't work because since 1999 too much people have seen a 6-8 years old explaining the trick:
Boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

FWIW, Our former friend and believer in all the orbs and ghosts that have ever haunted a house, Winston Wu, was invited to give an all-expenses-paid talk there last year, on the basis of the popularity of his "Debunking The Skeptics" paper. This was to celebrate the official opening of this little pile of nonsense in the picture. (And if you don't know Winston's essay, it's been thoroughly analysed and declared a pile of stinking possum droppings by a number of people since about 1996, but Winston and people like Victor Zammit still keep hawking it about like it is God's own truth.)

Anyway, Winston thought he was running with the big dogs, but as fate would have it, they cancelled him! Awww! No free trip to the bright new woo-woo believer's playground, no Swiss girls to ogle (Winston is a devotee of slutty Russian hookers anyway), and no ground-breaking international speech for that boy! Instead, he's still in north-west USA somewhere, trying to be an actor! When he's not blowing his money on Russian hookers...

This is the same Erich von Daniken who was caught faking evidence to challenge those pesky "conventional viewpoints", and then, when his fraud was exposed, explained he did it because "some people won't believe without evidence".

Well, I can see why Graham Hancock respects him. A man sufficiently "open minded" to commit fraud rather than admit he's wrong has the sort of "open mind" that Hancock would just love.
 
That might only be a small issue in the big scheme of things. Much of science that is claimed as fact is also not really right, and is often changed and changes with the times and people who are scientists.

I respect what Graham Hancock has done and alot of his work. I haven't read an Erich Von Daniken book.

Wow, that's such a great excuse for perpetrating fraud.
 
everyone, scientist or not, is simply promoting their opinion for various reasons, none of which can be fully right. Science is a religion and belief system as much as anything else. In fact, even most religous people, what they really believe is not their religion or their god. What they really believe in deep down is science.

Just because you live in a box doesn't mean everyone else has to.
