Lovecraft Theme Park

The Lovecraft Theme Park is dedicated to the bone-chilling locations and occurrences portrayed by the famous author, H.P. Lovecraft, in his literature. This tourist destination is the exact opposite of Disneyland. A waiver must be signed from attendees before entry to waive any lawsuits due to clothing stains, injuries or heart failure. The park includes both a permanent location and a traveling, sea-going version.

This entire park is a house of horrors. The main thoroughfare is mildly creepy, the alleyways and forested paths are moderately hair-raising, while the key locations are a severely scary, pants-wetting fear fest. “Rides” are sometimes optional, usually the guest is instead suddenly grabbed by a monstrosity or dropped through a hidden trapdoor, screaming for their pitiful life. The park is populated by a wide variety of Lovecraftian creatures; costumed, animatronic and projected; the main mascot being the, oh-so-loveable, Spawn of Cthulhu—beware its tentacled and clawed embrace.

THE PERMANENT LOCATION: “MISCATONIC and BEYOND”

Lovecraft’s fixed location is in a remote area not too far from a major city. Desiccated signposts point the way to Lovecraft’s main gate. To keep the tourists in a constant state of mortal fear, its layout and constituent parts are revised regularly. Some buildings are semi-mobile, allowing the maze of streets and passageways to change unexpectedly. Subterranean passages are hidden everywhere. Ghouls and mad Scientists roam throughout, acting alternately as guides and catylysts of doom and despair.

The central locations include: Miscatonic University (Workshop and Information Center), the Witch House Café, the Nameless Island Water Ride, the Dunwich Picnic Grounds, Innsmouth Restaurant and Inn (mind the oddly fishy locals), and Kingsport (featuring the Strange High House in the Mist), intermingled between sets are moldy woods and ancient cemeteries. Further afield are more alien locations such as the Plateau of Leng, the pillars of Irem, the ever-changing Dreamlands and the desolate wastes of Yuggoth.

The atmosphere is frightful as well: distant mad fluting, screaming and guttural growls fill the air, fogs blanket the streets and environs and hunched forms slink in shadows. First time guests are recommended to visit during the day to see the sites…only the foolhardy roam the Lovecraft Theme Park at night!

TRAVELLING SHOW: “THE LOST CITY OF R'LYEH”

If the Lovecraft Park is opposite of Disneyland, R’LYEH is the opposite of Circus de Soule. The traveling show is a huge submersible barge, fitted with inflatable marble and stone looking structures. R’yleh can be special ordered to terrorize a coastal town and appears at whim in the open sea along the way. The Lost City of R’lyeh makes its appearance by rising and inflating cyclopean ruins, monuments and opening psuedo-stone passageways into the open air.

Deep Ones and Spawn of Cthulhu "direct" would-be tourists by relentlessly stalking them through the ruins. Guests that lag behind are caught and dragged into slime-coated subterranean darkness.

At R’lyeh’s center is the colossal tomb of the dead and dreaming Cthulhu, waken him at your peril. Attendees can book passage on R’lyeh, but don’t expect any comfort or pampering. Don't expect to survive with your sanity intact.
