So, my cousin and I were chitchating about PotO the other day (she’s 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:
“some of you may remember the stranger affair of the Phantom of the Opera”, 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 “find the safety pin” game
a torture chamber escape room with live actors as the Daroga and Raoul
karaoke (once again, obviously)
a “catch Christine’s scarf” 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 “climb the elephant from Hannibal” climbing wall
an “escape the rat catcher” flipping doors game
dunking game with musical/book trivia or musical lyrics
“keep your hand at the level of your eyes to take a photo”
a roller coaster ride that takes you to the roof of the opera house, then plunges to the cellars
a “climb the rafters” 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 “Rue Scribe” or “Rue Notre Dame de Victoires” and the centre square will be “la Place de l’Opera”
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 you’ll 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 WC’s mirrors every now and then to scare the shit out of people
Gaston Leroux and Andrew Lloyd Webber “head in the hole’s”
A “Cafe de l’Opera” coffeshop/restaurant/bar/whatever (just like the one that’s across the Opera House in Paris) where there will be a self-service policy for wines and spirits and you’ll have to go get it yourself from actual wine barrels and every time you pour wine in your glass you’ll hear “barrels! barrels! any barrels tto sell?” from the speakers
“IIIIT’S OOOVER NOOOW THE MUUUSIC OFFFF THEEE NIIIIGHT” playing whenever someone leaves
…I never realized just how much I need this in my life aND I SWEAR I’LL GIVE MY KIDNEY TO ANYONE WHO’LL MAKE IT HAPPEN
