Wouldn't it be amazing?

What rides would you want there?

TARDIS fun house where the front has got a door which looks like the front of the Tardis but the rest is cleverly obscured by some kind of optical illusion so you feel like your stepping into the TARDIS but then it really is bigger on the inside. Then in the first room there is the control room where you can pull the levers and the buttons make noises and once you've pressed a couple a subroutine automatically triggers this part where the whole room starts shaking, the cloister bell rings and you hear the voice of a doctor saying that the Tardis is crash landing. when you leave that room the rest is corridors formed as a maze so you have to find your way back out and are never quite sure where you've been, but maybe with odd rooms along the way to help you navigate by trying to remember them if you get stuck, and also fun digital boards on the walls which look like mirrors but when you stand in front of them your face is on a random doctors body.

May sound like a kids attraction to some, but I think it would feel as close as possible to being in the actual TARDIS and would probably stay in for ages

There could be a disused quarry where guests are chased by Ogrons, a UNIT cafeteria serving "fish fingers and custard" with a WWII Dalek serving tea, a video booth in which guests can get a video of their favourite Doctor regenerating into them, and the Doctor Who stars would be wandering around for people to chat with, and a merchandising museum.

And a gift shop at the way out, of course.

You could climb inside a dalek & ride it around the park.
Ride Bessie around the park
Where disney has mickey mouse, pluto etc walking around the park, there would be monsters the dr has faced.
A flying tardis.

A Doctor Who theme park could have

a take your photo as a Doctor area, where you could dress up using different props.

Dalek dodgems

A Tardis vending machine with peculiar names for sweet treats but you don't know what you could get.

A companion train could work also, companions could mention little phrases they have said to The Doctor, the more obscure, the better.

They used to have a Doctor Who theme park, of sorts, in Blackpool. You entered the 'Tardis' and saw a big console, costumes from the latest series, gift shop etc. There was even a 'Dalek' that threatened to exterminate anyone who smoked! Fabulous.

Remember it very well. EVERY time i went to blackpool as a kid, i begged my parents to let me go to the tardis every single time. I recently found a photo of myself when i was 5 or 6 outside the tardis with one of the robots from ROD.

I'd pay good money to visit a doctor who theme park. That would be a brilliant day out.

Could have a roller coaster called the time vortex, Ferris wheel as the eye of harmony.
Dalek dodgems sounds awesome.
An Ood Arcade too haha!

If it were built correctly, it wouldn't even be a day out. You could visit it anytime and wave to yourself leaving as you arrive.

A theme park must have an information booth that doesn't make sense.

Hi, can you tell me where the Tardis creative is located?

Automated voice- We have a gift shop in the shopping zone.


Hi, can you tell me where the toilets are?

Automated voice- You can find the Daleks in the Red zone.


Hi, can you recommend a nice restaurant?

Automated voice- This theme park closes at approximately 20.00 hours.

When I saw this as a thread I thought oh dear -here's a bit of a laugh, but reading some of the replies, it actually sounds like it might be good idea to have one -maybe in Wales (or a disused quarry), I'm sure people from England would argue "well, they are much the same thing".

If Doctor Who was American they probably would have one (although I don't believe there is a Star Trek one-?)

Building on a few thoughts:

-Entry to the park could be via a Tardis against a warehouse brick wall with the park on the inside of this to try & give the illusion its bigger on the inside;
-I'd have a ghost (monsters) train being at the centre of it all with it also serving as a large inside rollercoaster (like the one at Disneyland) with you in the train swirling around against the ceiling (tunnel walls) so its like the vortex at the start of the show.
-I'd also have a large outdoor water ride with people riding around large circular boats with the centre of each being like the Tardis console.
-I'd also have the main Doctor Who museum including key exhibits based at the park

I'm sure you would get a lot of fans ((tourists) coming there from the likes of Australia, NZ, Canada & the U.S. The other thing in its favour is Doctor Who has now firmly established itself as a British institution so the park would stand the test of time.
It's an awesome idea the more I think about it! -Okay, who's a fan who's got a spare $400M??

Not if they didn't want to be walking funny for a while.






Edit: Being skittish, but that came out a little more aggressive than I'd like. Only kidding, some of my best friends, etc
