There had been rumors that China builds a WoW Theme Park two years ago, by which lots of wow players and other MMO players had been excited. Now it was proved to be true. The Joyland Park in Changzhou, Jiangsu, an unlicensed Video Game Theme Park is now opened.

The world's ever first video game Theme Park, Joyland, which cost about $30 million USD, has seven main sections sprawling over 600,000 square meters, including the game features of World of Warcraft, Starcarft, Mole Manor and so on. Also special sections for cosplayers and merchants had been built in the park.

The Taobao Street could be seen as a copy of Main Street USA at Disney World. Fairy Lake is at the center of the Theme Park, and features a rainbow castle surrounded by a lake where park guests can attempt to water ski. World of Legend hosted a rollercoaster themed after generic heroes of old, also features the Cosplay center and a Game Fort. Mole's World is for the kids, and the Holy Mountain is another unfinished section that towers over the rest of the park.

By costing that much of money, the buildings and sculptures are amazing but it seems their owners has forgotten a significant factor of building this park. Properties in the theme park are obviously unlicensed from its originals, like Blizzard and Disney Land. What's more, they even renamed some sections which are related to Blizzard's games. The World of Warcraft portion of the theme park is renamed to "Terrain of Magic" and Starcraft is humorously mislabeled the "Universe of Starship". That is hilarious because all the stuff will be easily recognized as what they were without any doubts. Visitors won't think it as normal panda at the seeing of two giant sculptures of Pandaren guides.

Fortunately someone paid a visit to this fake World of Warcraft Theme Park and managed to bring his experience back for sharing. Reddit user FrancescaO_O took photos of it. According to her, it was a very fun visit. And you will have exciting time, if you despite of the rights things.

The World of Warcraft area features a ride called Splash of Monster Blood. There's no distinction made between the horde and alliance but copyright infringing statues of elves, humans, mermaids, and dragons litter the whole area.

The Starcraft area is home to a rollercoaster, a 4D Theater, and a drop tower ride called the Wrath of Ratheon. Shanghaiist describes what sort of amusement this area provides:

"The main attraction of the park is a big blue inverted rollercoaster, aptly named the Sky Scraper but misspelled as the Sky Scrapper on its signboard. Amusement park rides are a dangerous affair in China, and we weren't entirely sure we'd come back from this one alive. One of the most disturbing parts of the park was the general decay we witnessed, unnerving in a park open only a hair shy of two months. Cracks in paint and rust on handrails made the attendants' habit of screaming 'Goodbye!' as the roller coaster surged out of the gates even more terrifying."
