How about a Fianna Fail theme park - "Bertieland"?

    Imagine a theme park based on Fianna Fail?? People from all over the world would flock to see it. There could be the entertainment tent from the Galway Races, a ghost train through a few housing estates, gambling hall named NAMA and food hall called Farmleigh? There could be a giant monster called Bifo that kids could get their pictures taken while Kids could play with outdated voting machines. There could be rotten vegtable throwing competitions at bankers while a derelict site at the back that cost 20 times the true value with a sign "a lot done, more to do" And Dempsey could be on the tills as he has nothing better to do while a waltzer ride could be run by Harney and Tom Parlon but would inevitably spin out of control.
    Don't forget coughlan in charge of the pet farm..........

    You could have the celtic tiger version of ''the enron ride of broken dreams''

    The first aid tent could be a diseased ridden sleeping bag under a bin liner with random drunkards passing by and getting sick on you.

    It could have 1 first aider, 3 nurses and 15 administrators...........with a waiting time of 20 hours

    There should also be a rollercoaster that momentarily stops on the peaks so that property developers can get out.

    It would be suited as a Halloween Theme Park.

    Fianna Fail: Ireland the Aftermath, a house of horrors coming to a town and dole office near you.

    Cowen could be the person at the till, so that when you handed him worth-something foreign currency he could say "I don't accept that".

    I'm guessing by the time this park is built he won't be accepting Euros either.

    Don't forget a tent that allows people to bet on the outcome of horse races with useful tips given by that horse racing expert, Bertie Ahern himself. If you complain when you lose he could give you some other useful advice and offer you some DIY tools to complete the job.

    Calling it the "Never Never Land".

    don't forget the green party sideshow that can't decide on opening hours and when they will close and have all those games kids don't want to play and serve food consisting of vegtables and healthy stuff!

    Some ideas for rides
    The tunnel of misfortune- You go in the entrance, and when you come out of it on the other side, you find all your money is gone(Best to leave this till the end so that by the time you go on it, you'll have no money to lose)

    The Economy Rollercoaster- It's basically a rollercoster that looks like a big trend graph based on the Irish Ecnomoy with a roller coaster on it , starting from 2000 up until 2010, so you can imagine the big drop at the end of it

    The Property Boom- It's basically a bungee jump that you're strapped into, where you're dropped from 100ft above ground. The only problem is, the cord is not stretchy so you'll just drop and won't come back up

    The House of Horror- It's basically one of those houses that's supposed to be made up of things to scare you, except it's just going to be pictures of Mary Harney and Brian Cowen naked from different angles. One will even have them making out with one another

    The roller coaster would probably stop upside down and give a few shakes.....:p

    We could have a bouncy castle shaped like a ballsac called "bertie big bollocks"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 241 ✭✭Dizraeligears


    And we'll be paying for it,right?

    Everyone knows the real cause of our economic destruction was de Lehman Bruddars. In fact if it hadn't been for de Lehman Bruddars Bortie might have continued wit de unprecedented economic grote.

    Brian Lenihan would be in the fortune tellers tent, doing what he does best, telling barefaced lies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,680 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    don't forget the giveaway budget spin the wheel contest......with McCreevy at the helm spouting his ol rubbish, then again he might be busy at the horse racing game

    There's an auld gambling haunt 'The Hellfire Club' up in the Dublin mountains, in need of modernisation but has lots of potential.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag


    Good idea. We could have one of those spinning wheel things with his little prick of a son-in-law on it, and punters could throw knives at him.

    Would be better if it wasnt spinning at all, the knives were huge, and the target was only 3 feet away. :pac:

    No.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,241 ✭✭✭Sanjuro


    The last attraction before you leave the park would have you walk up to a large fire pit. You would then be required to take out your wallets/purses, open them up, and tip them into the pit while a giant inflatable hand flips you the bird. Only then could you leave the park.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,680 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    Don't forget the pressure to take out a mortgage that is very large and being forced on you by peer pressure as you leave, maybe a few concern clipboard people could do it...
