Well I searched and it hasn't been mentioned before so I thought I'd post it.

Work is expected to begin this year on a 100-acre Michael Jackson entertainment complex that would include a museum, performing arts center, hotel, golf course and theme park inspired by the pop singer’s Neverland Ranch.

“Everything is in the planning stages at this point, but we’re moving on a fast track and we’re looking forward to actually breaking ground sometime in 2010,” said Odie Anderson, president of the Jackson family project in the pop singer’s hometown of Gary, Ind.

Anderson said the theme park would include rides found at Jackson’s 2,700-acre Neverland Ranch near Los Olivos in Santa Barbara County.

In addition to a zoo, aviary and nature preserve, the Neverland theme park included a carousel, Ferris wheel, bumper cars, passenger train and classic carnival rides such as the Zipper, Sea Dragon and Octopus.

A roller coaster with a “Thriller” theme would be part of the planned theme park, the Daily Mirror reported.

The $1-billion project would be built over a 10-year period, starting with the museum, art center and hotel before breaking ground on the golf course and theme park.

My opinions:

-I bet that the 'Thriller themed coaster' will be a Wacky Worm with a Michael Jackson cutout in the station.

-If it does open, it will close within two years.

-Gary Indiana!? Come one, there will be a homicide in the park within the first week of being opened!

-It will be opened years after Michael Jackson died...

-People in Gary Indiana can't afford to go to an amusement park!

-I will go, but just to get the credit, on my way to SFGAm!

It's ah BAD... It's ah BAD... It's ah BAD Idea Shoomoh!

Sorry

^Haha! Haven't heard that one yet!

Do you think they will have Jesus juice at the drink stands?

maybe it's just me, but if i ever made something that was themed to "thriller" it would be a haunted house dark ride, kinda like haunted mansion, but not a roller coaster, that would be horrid.

Uhmm.......ok? Good luck with that? You'll be lucky to see even a nickel of my money....

^Even if the 'Thriller coaster' is a giga!?

jackson, was that pointed at me, or the people with this crazy idea?

As a father of two young boys, I wonder what would happen to them at this park......

No, it was directed at the park.

That's the first thing I thought of. I wonder if there would be a height limit for that ride!

"'Cause it's Thriller, Thriller night!"

That could be one of the coolest rides, if it's themed right.

If they wana' loose 1 billion, I say let em'.

IMO there's a better chance of a SFNO rebirth than this...
