The Galaxy is In for a Dark Ride

Monday November 24, 2003
Galaxyland, the huge indoor amusement park in the ultra-huge West Edmonton Mall will be opening a new dark ride next year with the clever name...Dark Ride. (Let's hope that's just the working title.) According to the Calgary Herald, the subterranean attraction will take riders under the Palace Casino and the mall's parking lot for what sounds like an interactive shootout with "strange Smurf-like creatures." As if the newspaper needed the adjective, "strange" to modify the proper noun, "Smurf." I don't know about you, but if Galaxyland puts a zapper in my hand and surrounds me with Smurf-like creatures, I'm going to be plenty motivated to zap them into the next galaxy.
