After looking at the rotating colossus (linky) I realized
that
a park where kids (and grownups too) can build a
pyramid,
heaving ho, then pulling the oars of a boat 100 kids
together, with the booming drums in the background
would
be great fun.
Teenagers could enlist to get punished
by being thrown
into a cold and dreary dungeon and forced to drink
disgusting looking food and drink muddy water for lunch.
While in the dungeon, you may pre-choose your torture
of choice (for extra points, allowing you to higher thrills,
but no real masochism is encouraged, this is mostly
about fun, workout and submission.)
Instead of standing in line, you are chained and marched
to the market where your master buys you, and sends
you
according to your price to the next attraction.
Running into a simulated mine field in rows, Iranian
style,
and using paintball in a phalanx Roman style would be
great as well.
Towards the end of the day, you are told that there is
someone named Moses Luther King, who wishes to free
you. You have to crawl your way behind and under the
police barricades. And you get to hear I have a dream,
and cheer.
Then, to end the day, you must run in a stampede
together with the other kids through a hot water moat,
which immediately resides and you can walk out to the
other side, before Pharaoh's chariots reach you.
Every attraction does not last more than 20 minutes, and
you can opt out every 5 minutes, with staff members
looking to see that there is no harassment taking place.

It sounds like a joke but the French authorities are taking the situation seriously

http://metro.co.uk/...a-day-event-373793/ This link is more like ytk's idea. But I meant that people enjoy a hard workout, and being scared into doing things. My idea is NOT to induce masochism, just being subjective for pay, with the prospect of release on request at intervals of say twenty minutes. [pashute, Jun 30 2013]

you know you don't actually have to go to the DMV in person to get your license renewed, do you ? |

This would be a fine complement to my
concentration camp themed resort/casino idea:
Auschwitz, Las Vegas Arbeit Macht Fun! |

This reminds me of a BBC analysis of why the French are so grumpy these days. Last line? The education system. If it's like mine, they were both like this. |
