TURKMENBASHI CRAZE OUT OF THE DAY!!!
Theme park based on Turkmen fairytales opened in Ashgabat
ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan (AP) — A theme park designed by Turkmenistan's eccentric dictator as a national version of Disneyland has opened in the ex-Soviet nation's capital.
The $50 million recreation complex, based on Turkmen folk art and fairy tales, occupies 81 acres and consists of 54 attractions.
It begins with a map of Turkmenistan and its environs that displays miniature copies of architectural monuments of the predominantly Muslim state.
The Ferris Wheel follows designs of Turkmen jewelry, the Magic Carpet copies acclaimed Turkmen rugs, and a roller coaster zigzags over a mini-replica of the Caspian Sea, the source of the country's immense oil and gas reserves.
Visitors are greeted by characters of Turkmen folklore, some of which resemble Western magic creatures. Khudoiberdy repels an attack of evil spirits, and obese Bovendjik swallows everyone he sees.
The theme park's opening was part of lavish celebrations of Turkmenistan's 15th independence anniversary that followed the 1991 Soviet collapse.
