Korea To Open ROBOT LAND!
Opening it’s robo-doors in 2012, in the always pleasant Cheongra District of Public Water Free Economic Zone, comes the worlds first theme park dedicated to celebration of all things Robot. That’s right kids, save your pennies for your ticket to adventure 2.0 when you and your family take a trip to Robot Land!
Robot Land is a massive and major creation of two major Korean Public Organizations, four construction investors, ten colleges and R&D centers, and 17 robotics industries. All of these forces have combined (like all good robots, duh) to create this complex. The complex includes a theme park area; Within that there’s a proposed Robot Experience Center, Robot Battle Stadium, Robot Museum, Funny Town, Roller Coaster, Ferris Wheel, and more. A water park, cyber zoo, robot animal studio, robot mall, hotels, food court, and even a residential zone. That’s right kiddos. Why just visit Robot Land, when you can LIVE THERE, amongst your new robot bretheren!
Feel free to visit the Robot Land website, and see some fantastic renderings of a world where hundreds of Honda’s ASIMO waiters serve you custom ordered ramen noodle packs cooked in cook-bots. You’ll be agape at all the proposed educational facilities; Robot Land will not only teach you about robots in an entertaining way, it’ll provide you with a degree with the proposed Graduate School of Robotics located on campus.
I… I can’t do this anymore. Ladies and gentlemen, what we’ve reported on speaks for itself. The Robot Land theme park will no doubt be taken over, ‘conquered’ if you will, by a master race of giant hyper intelligent robots. It’s difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume all captive Earthmen as biological batteries or merely enslave us to ironically do their automated chores. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the robots will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords. I’d like to remind them as a trusted web blogging personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their Matrix-like harvesting zones. For more information, you can read this article, or simply wait for the Robots to lure you to their “fun zone” in Korea.
You’ve been warned.
Finally. I've been waiting for the robots to get of their shiny metal asses and start some enslaving.
Haven't people learned anything from Robot movies? *hides*
Okay. I looked at the site – is it real?
I mean i hope it's just a joke.But this is Korea…
I hope you realize that volunteering to help the robot overlords just guarantees that you'll be the first one turned into a Copper Top. Just sayin'.Vive la resistance!
It's East meets WestWorld!I welcome the chance to become more fully acquainted with and adjusted to our eventual Robot Over Lords … did I say, "Over Lords"? I meant "Protectors."
This project never made it past its concept stage – and the concepts were overseen by a Korean team with no experience in either robotics or theme parks, so many of the most important components of a successful robotics-themed park were cut, including anything and everything historical and all references to robots in pop culture/movies and television. The budget was never even close to reasonable. And saddest of all, the American designers who worked so hard against such an unprecedented schedule for this project have yet to be paid. Shame on Robot Land and it's primary consultant, Pico Far East Holdings!
