Dismaland- Yes or No?

I was thinking about doing a post on Dismaland and when I took to twitter to ask what you all wanted to read someone mentioned this and I thought 'Why not?'. 


For those who might not know what it is, Dismaland is a different type of theme park made my the artist Banksy. Now when I heard the name to this them park I thought 'Well this doesn't sound appealing' and when I looked at the photographs of inside the theme park I was so freaked out. It was like it was wanting me to be scared of the Disney Castle and The little Mermaid. But I guess it is meant to be like that to be the UK's most disappointing theme park.


I don't even know why anyone would want to go into the theme park. I reckon it would be good for Halloween events or like scare zones for Halloween like they do in Universal for Horror Nights. It has certainly got hidden messages around the park in my opinion as that is what every artist aims for in my opinion. Like the little remote control boats that have lots of people on as though it has a hidden message or wants you to feel a certain way. 


When I have been doing my research, I came across a picture of a killer whale jumping out of a toilet into a small little paddling pool for kids, and to me this gives a very strong message across and kind of links with Sea World in Orlando which I don't agree with either. Yeah it's lovely to see the different animals but their enclosures and tanks are just wayyy too small for them and they are trying to open another Sea World in Dubai which I don't think should go ahead. 


To me, this really freaks me out and I don't like it. But hey! That's just my opinion, there may be people out there who really like this sort of thing and intrigued by it, but personally I don't really like it. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. 


I'm not going to post any photos of this, Just in case there are watermarked or in need of permission to use them. Let me know your views on Dismaland. 


Have a great Day/Evening/Night

  1. I have always been a huge fan of Disney world, on the other hand I do like Banksy's art. I understand the message he wants to bring forward that all is not always as it seems. For some reason the dreariness in the pictures seems welcoming to me. It would be an attraction that I would visit as I adore melancholic things. But I will forever be a Disney fan! Great job on writing this post, I can sympathize with your view ;)
