In my
Visions of the Gamepocalypse talk last year, I predicted the coming of a LARPing theme park which I jokingly called World of World of Warcraft World (WoWoWW). And it looks like something of the sort seems to be happening!
A park in China called "Joyland" will have a mix of Warcraft and Starcraft elements. When it will open is unclear. What is clear, though, is that a major amusement park BASED ON A VIDEOGAME is being built right now. Two tickets to the Gamepocalypse, please!
Awesome! Their concept art looks like a WoWoWW-bloodelve temple.

Or is there a virtual digital component package to the mix in playing a onsite "World of Warcraft or Starcraft" gaming. Thus creating a new genre venue for gamers. I'll wait and see. I had a similar concept posted back in Sept. 2005 on my blog site:
