Banksy’s Dismaland Is a Real Life Nightmare Version of Disneyland

Street artist Banksy may have just revealed one of his best projects yet, appropriatley titled “Dismaland,” it’s a Disneyland spin off with a dark twist. The “bemusement” park is located at the abandoned Tropicana swimming resort in Weston-super-Mare, UK, and features dark and twisted artworks from Banksy and 50 other artists from around the world.

Unlike Disneyland the theme park won’t be your normal family day out with “uneven floor surfaces, extensive use of strobe lighting, imagery unsuitable for small children and swearing.” Dismaland will be open for 5 weeks and admission will be £3. More info on Dismaland can be found here.

Dismaland is a family theme park that is “not suitable for children” inspired by Disneyland.
