Will this place have one of those Fun Rooms with mirrors that make it look like your head has been severed and mounted on a pole on the other side of the room?

Re: Marianland -- It make for a fun day, but I bet the communion wafers will cost something like $4.50 and the communion wine will be like $7.00 or something. These amusement parks are just too damn expensive these days.

I am looking forward to the Hail Mary Musical Review and Clogging Fest, though.

In other news, Sugarland is home to Tom Delay, one of my favorite right-wing nuts.

I'm half expecting to hear this in a year:

Wealthy Transylvanians invest in a family oriented Third Reich Park in Berlin, a "polical terror" park to scare through bad example and teach history.
