UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD has just announced plans for what they hope
will
be the next step in theme park attraction -- sliming. The studio, which
is
home to the BACK TO THE FUTURE and JURASSIC PARK rides, is set to add a
1,200-seat "Totally Nickelodeon" theater to the sprawling park,
including a
specially built machine that spews nearly a thousand gallons of green
slime
on visitors. "It's really going to be a mess," Stephen Carley,
president of
UNIVERSAL PARKS, tells the LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS. Each show will
involve
audience members being chosen to go on stage for the purpose of being
splattered with food and slime (Jurassic droppings?) while clad in
protective clothing. It's all a part of the trend away from passive
attractions, into immersive ones.
Madness.
