So, my cousin and I were chitchating about PotO the other day (sheâs a baby phan, she just read the Leroux novel) and she had this brainwave about a Phantom of the Opera theme park, and we started toying with the idea and what it would look like and what it would include and well⌠these are some of the ridiculous things we came up with:
âsome of you may remember the stranger affair of the Phantom of the Operaâ, playing from the speakers whenever someone enters the park
an underground lair boat ride
a chandelier chair swing ride
a Punjab Lasso reverse bungee
Punjab lasso claw machines where you can catch monkey plushies
a mirror funhouse (obviously)
a âfind the safety pinâ game
a torture chamber escape room with live actors as the Daroga and Raoul
karaoke (once again, obviously)
a âcatch Christineâs scarfâ game
small comical skits every day at 5pm, possibly inspired by the Tumblr posts of the Phandom
AN ACTUAL ORGAN FOR ANYONE TO BLAST
a âclimb the elephant from Hannibalâ climbing wall
an âescape the rat catcherâ flipping doors gameÂ
dunking game with musical/book trivia or musical lyrics
âkeep your hand at the level of your eyes to take a photoâ
a roller coaster ride that takes you to the roof of the opera house, then plunges to the cellars
a âclimb the raftersâ zip line/climbing game
a scorpion/grasshopper animal springer for da babies
pony rides with Cesar for da toddlers
a souvenir shop with all sorts of poto memorabilia and merch
actual masquerade balls every Wednesday and Saturday, and the invitations will be notes signed by Erik
a small museum showcasing the history of the book and the musical
there will be street names like âRue Scribeâ or âRue Notre Dame de Victoiresâ and the centre square will be âla Place de lâOperaâ
an actor dressed as the Daroga, wandering around the theme park, randomly staring at people suspiciously
the faucet handles in the WCs will be a scorpion and a grasshopper, and youâll have to turn the grasshopper for hot water and the scorpion for cold water (because Erik would definately be the cold water lmao)
a hologram of Erik will show up in the WCâs mirrors every now and then to scare the shit out of people
Gaston Leroux and Andrew Lloyd Webber âhead in the holeâsâ
A âCafe de lâOperaâ coffeshop/restaurant/bar/whatever (just like the one thatâs across the Opera House in Paris) where there will be a self-service policy for wines and spirits and youâll have to go get it yourself from actual wine barrels and every time you pour wine in your glass youâll hear âbarrels! barrels! any barrels tto sell?â from the speakers
âIIIITâS OOOVER NOOOW THE MUUUSIC OFFFF THEEE NIIIIGHTâ playing whenever someone leaves
âŚI never realized just how much I need this in my life aND I SWEAR IâLL GIVE MY KIDNEY TO ANYONE WHOâLL MAKE IT HAPPEN
