Del Amitri World

 A theme park based on "Nothing Ever Happens"

Although it's a theme park, this is really a place to go when you fancy a bit of solitude.

Watch the traffic lights will flash from green to red despite the lack of cars, walk through telephone exchanges while they click, hang out in the post office where every position is closed. Enjoy a world of melancholic peace and quiet.

Sadly, Del Amitri World wouldn't be a big money spinner as it could only be used by one person at a time. However, staffing costs would be minimal.

       I sure hope there's tumbleweed.
—Smurfsahoy, Mar 27 2007
   

       Sounds brilliant. I wouldn't need anyone to tell me not to come home too soon.
—calum, Mar 27 2007
   

       Presumably you'd be able to grab a bite to eat - a Justin Curry, perhaps.   

       Sorry.
—Murdoch, Mar 27 2007
   

       Sorry - I only just found out about this one...   

       (Subtley meaning, therefore, that I am always...)
—Jinbish, Mar 27 2007
   

       [BrauBeaton], it's based on a song by the band Del Amitri.
—hidden truths, Mar 27 2007
   

       At least it's different from Don Ameche world.
—shapu, Mar 27 2007
   

       Del Amitri also did a genuinely poor song for the Scotland's soccer team during France'98: "Don't come home too soon"
—Jinbish, Mar 27 2007
   

       Like my home town on a sunday evening. Most excellent idea +

       "Would we all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow if we were at a theme park? discuss, in 2,000 words or less"

also.. I'm worried about the lack of beer.

       Yes, sadly only one person can use the theme park at any one time, which makes it a bit of an extravagance. However, although the barman's called time, there's no line about him locking the door. Think of it as an honestly bar.
—Fishrat, Mar 28 2007
   

       Only if Del Amitri are not there.
—wagster, Mar 28 2007
   

       So the theme park is named after a band which sung a song about the general nature of the park? Makes sense.   

       I give you Spandau Ballet World, wherein certain things are considered consistent with fact or reality.
—Texticle, Mar 29 2007
   

       // I give you Spandau Ballet World // ah, now that would be Gold.
—jonthegeologist, Apr 02 2007
   

       True.
—Jinbish, Apr 02 2007
   

       Looks like you're finding it hard to write the next line, though.
—Fishrat, Apr 02 2007
   

       It hardly needs to be restricted to one person at at time... As long as some sort of separation is maintained such that they never see each other, numerous people could explore the park at once.   

       Of course, someone could still rent the entire place if they so desired.
