Happy Happy Fun World: Land of the Pharaohs

Land of the Pharaohs, where it's Ancient Egypt all year round. "Experience the authenticity of Ancient Egypt, in the present!"

How about Anubis, the god of fertility and harvest? Seth, the goddess of love?

Or if someone took what they thought it looked like from storybooks and every incorrect paper ever and jammed them into an unholy theme park. You can ride the sarcophagus down through a river ride (watch out for the fake alligators). watch performers juggle canopic jars, or go through the haunted pyramid (made of fake gold): watch out for traps and mummies! There's also camels, lots of camels. Watch out. They spit.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. It only goes downhill from here.

The entrance to 'Land of the Pharoahs' looked a bit like this, except for a few minor details. Those being most notably and somewhat garishly, the huge flashing Vegas styled neon Tutankhamun death mask sitting proudly on top of the structure, the gold paint the entire thing was covered in and the columns that were definitely of the Ancient Greek variety rather than Egyptian.

It's not all bad though, there are plenty of Elizabeth Taylor styled Cleopatra staff selling 'genuine King Tut jewelry' from cigarette girl trays to the queue!

"Genuine?!" Vala rifled through one of the trays, feeling like she'd been duped in to even looking. "This is all plastic. There's nothing genuine about it! Do you honestly expect people to fall for this?!"
