It's a Sexual World After All

Monday October 24, 2005
Oh those randy Brits. Turning the concept of a family-friendly theme park on its, um, ear, the London Academy of Sex and Relationships says that it is building a park about the birds and the bees in the Trocadero near the city's famed Piccadilly Circus. According to the BBC News, the sex theme park will include attractions designed to defuse some of the mystery of the semi-taboo subject and help people become better lovers. Due to open next spring, details are scarce about the $8.3 million project, but its developers stress that the park will not be sleazy or pornographic. In its announcement, the academy said that it would present sexual issues "in an exciting, amusing, and yet educational way." Noted astronomer and sometime novelist Carl Sagan was prescient when he described a Disney-style theme park focused on adult entertainment in his novel (which later became a film starring Jodie Foster), "Contact." Is the world ready for such a place? I'm not sure, but I'm mighty curious to see what kind of a motion simulator attraction the park might create. How about Perverts of the Caribbean?
