I Have a Feeling We're Not in Orlando Anymore

By , About.com Guide   November 20, 2009

Follow me on:

An $800-million movie-themed park planned for Rome will be modeled after Universal Studios Hollywood, according to Variety. Construction on Cinecitta World, named after Italy's Cinecitta Studios, will begin next year, and the first phase is expected to open in 2011. A quote from the Variety article caught my attention: "...one ride will feature the huge slide that Marcello Mastroianni travels down as his sexual history flashes by in Fellini's 'City of Women'..." Scusi? Somehow, I don't see the Imagineers developing a similar attraction for Disney's Hollywood Studios. Although a Perverts of the Caribbean ride could be quite popular, don't you think?
