Why is there a Twilight Theme Park?

Ойын-сауық

Hold on tight, Spider Monkey.
Ever wondered what a Twilight Saga theme park land would look like? You’re in luck- one opened up in 2019 in China and ever since I’ve been obsessed. Let me take you on an unnecessary deep dive into why it was built, what it entails, and an analysis of the different rides included.

This video was originally uploaded on 1st November 2022 as my first video. I took it down as the audio levels were a mess and and tweaked them. Otherwise I kept it the same as I don't want to 'George Lucas' my content. Consider this Mike's Version™.

    I think it's helpful that it's in China. Seeing a small Midwestern American town is probably more interesting there. Kinda like how there's Chinatown in LA and New York New York in Las Vegas. Considering how those places operate I think an authentic US diner with American memorabilia on the walls just selling burgers and dinner food would have worked well honestly. As a themed dining experience. Maybe they could have like an audio of English background chatter and they could dress up the waiters in those old dining waitress costumes. The ones with the colored striped dresses with the aprons, poofy short sleeves, and that curly blowout perm that was popular in like the 80s but a bit more toned down to stay true to the time period.

    I was actually interning at an experience design company when we were planning a pitch for this park. I think we were leaning more towards a dueling ride where you pick a side, werewolves or vampires, and then battle the other team. My idea was a high speed slot car test-track style ride through Volterra Italy from new moon, where you race to stop edward from revealing himself as a vampire, and would come face to face with the Volturi. Ah well, bellas journey is fine I guess.

    The question of why I think is because very little happens in the grand scheme of things in Twilight. It's also a very small scope, Bella's POV. I will say, I think in the world of fandom, social media, and cosplay, I full scale recreation of the town and certain scenes for photo ops and just vibes sounds like a pretty neat idea, if a bit niche. Midnight Ride looks pretty sick, I gotta say. A shame it couldn't have been more of a psychological journey since Bella's adrenaline junkie coping was one of the few times she displayed an interesting character trait that could also be considered *gasp* a thoughtful flaw. Side note, I am *fascinated* by the concept of a vertical theme park. Like, with a huge budget, I think it could be really cool, especially if it's not necessarily tied to multiple ips or instead, an original concept.

    Admittedly, I feel like if this was built in the states I'd probably go with my friend who's obsessed with Twilight only because I'm a theme park/attraction fan. I wouldn't be able to do the Midnight Ride attraction though because of the fact I can't really do VR due to not being able to wear contacts and thus can't see if my glasses are off. Because of how the goggles are usually built, I can't just put them over my glasses. Though it is interesting to see how VR will affect theme park and entertainment attractions in the future, it's just not something I myself can experience because of unique medical reasons.

    Great video! Love how much research you did. I used to love twilight and I still have a soft spot for it. I was actually in the theaters for breaking dawn part II. Having read the books, in which Alice's vision with everyone dying wasn't included, I figured out it must be a vision because I thought they probably wouldn't let the movie end that much different from the book. The reactions of everyone around me were golden though, true outrage. Interesting they chose to include that in the Bella's journey ride. Somehow you had me hooked from the first minute. Great job!

    And at first when I heard this concept as like that's weird I could never see a Twilight theme park after this video now I see. I don't know if attractions are that important. However settings are. Like you said the romantic theme works for it , date crowd is definitely appealing. If they would have added wedding venues it would appeal to even more adults. So a Twilight theme park in order for to work needs to appeal to dating crowd 16 to 30 and the marriage age group 18+. I would have love for them to recreate the wedding. The meadow. And of course I love the gazebo. These would be great to recreate. Good photo ops. Like it would really work for wedding proposals too. I would have loved to seen American diner and some shops like the book shop. If remember correctly book shop is in the book but I believe she goes into bc it's one of alternative book shops, it's the kind that would sell healing crystals. I would have also like to seen a clothing shop I even have a name for it Alice's closet. Alice was always so fashionable. Native American store that sells handmade crafts from tribes in twilight. The cottage that Edward, Bella and Renesmee live in. A night stay. Other bonus settings outside of forks would be Volterra, Italy maybe an Italian restaurant. The honeymoon isle of Esme setting great for night stay. Maybe a Brazilian restaurant as well.
