    What we need is a Hippie Theme Park.
    I thought of calling it Hippie Land, but that name is already taken, so I'm open to suggestions.

    I have thought about the contents though.

    It should contain some streets or ways called Abby Road, Bleeker Street, Lovers' Lane, Penny Lane, The Yellow Brick Road, and of course Haight and Ashbury would intersect at the center. And I think there should be a Appian Way, just because.

    Strawberry Fields would be the picnic area.

    There should be several fun houses, one would be called The Manson Mansion. This would be a dark ride, of course, with scarey things connected with old, Good Time Charlie.
    And a tunnel of Love. This would be a psychedelic version with newspaper taxis for boats.

    While we're thinking of Charlie, we need a Helter Skelter ride, just because of its name, look it up.

    Now we need a little train to run around the park. That would be The Peace Train, I can't think of any names for the stations yet.
    Buses used to get from the parking lot would, of course, all be modeled after Ken Kesey's "Further" bus. But on a smaller park scale.
    Bumper cars would all be Volkswagon Beatles.

    That's all I can think of at the moment for rides.

    Costumed characters would be The Freak Brothers, and Wavy Gravey impersonators would roam around blowing bubbles. Fritz the Cat is also a possibility. Also we need some panhandlers.

    Shows would consist of old rock groups and psychedelic bands, the park house band who would do lame cover songs of '60s music, Frisco style light shows - no lasers please, street theater, and mock executions of Rap stars. Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen would be banned from the park. Because they bother me.

    Food concessions would consist of nothing but munchies, tie dyed clothes would be made to order, and there would be lots of sandal shops and bandana stands.

    Lastly we need a Guru Mountain section. This would be like a Freak Show area where any aspiring Guru could set up his or her little Ashram. Barkers would be posted out front of each one shouting out things like, "Step right up! See an Enlightened Man! Only one dollar!", "The Wisdom of the Ages revealed for a mere pittance!", "See the Dance of the Seven Chakras performed by dazzling divas of desire! Hurry, hurry, hurry, the time is Now!"
    And stuff like that.

    .......Well, that's all I got right now.
    I'll start on the blueprints tomorrow.

    Great idea - maybe if not Hippie, Happie Land?
    or maybe if successful, go Worldwide and call it Mc Hippie Land?

    You'd be allowed to go barefoot, opposite of Disney and others where the neurotic shoe police are everywhere and get upset and reprimand you when you merely temporarily remove your sandals while waiting in line for a ride.

    if you had a time machine and could go back to the 60's i think it might work, wouldn't be enough interest today imo. Unless it was like a festival and you had a bunch of people selling drugs then you might gain the modern hippy interest.

    There would be two tents near the entrance. One selling different kinds of weed, other different kinds of psychedelics.
    You could ask people at information point which ride to get with which substance.
    You wouldn't pay using money, you would pay in weed or nature and there would be free love tents and lotteries where you could win weed or smoking accessories and weed cassino. In different tent someone would display history of psychedelics, in another what and how to cook with weed.
    There could be aplace when you would eat a blotter and guess what substance it was, and when you did you would win it...

    And this definitely is a must-be:

    Actually, a few people here, in the:
    Hip Forums > Hip Communities > Church of the Good Earth > Church of the Good Earth 1963 and Beyond

    are really concepting out a real start-up, that they are working on doing.

    It would be based on a Renaissance Fair concept, as a step back in time to the year XXXX. Everyone in costume style. Antique everything. With different music stages. All original recordings of the day.


    While you are waiting you can go to the Oregon County Fair, that has been the party for 30 years now. It's on Ken Kesey's dairy farm.

    July! Coming soon!
