      When he was a kid, my dad went to the original Action Park. A few years ago, he took me. When he came in, he said “There’s some things missing, but it seems the same otherwise.”

      Action Park had a reputation for poorly designed rides, undertrained and underaged staff, intoxicated guests and staff, and a consequently poor safety record. At least six people are known to have died as a result of mishaps on rides at the park.

      What the actual fuck lmao

    Is it just me or could you swap those pictures with any water park in the US and nobody could tell the difference?

    if you can’t tell, I, a North Korea specialist consultant to the US State Department, will explain what your eyes are seeing.

    the rainbow colors of the slides is because at the “woke” water park, everyone is forced to become homosexual and get gay married by a general in the Korean army.

    also, Kim il sung is allowed to cut in front of everyone to go in the rides and anyone who doesn’t clap for him is beaten with sticks until they deny Christ 3 times.

    The only thing that ever makes pictures out of the DPRK look “creepy” is really just that things are often made with materials that look a bit cheap

    Which tends to happen when you put a country under a blockade for decades

    yeonmi-park in bad country, citizens are required to queue for upwards of several minutes before going down the state-owned water slide

    really scraping the bottom of the propaganda barrel with this one, huh?

      yeonmi-park citizens have to bring their own water and pour it down the slides while someone catches it at bottom. then they’re forced to carry the water back up stairs to the top to do it all over again.

      Also,

    I’d throw a dart at a list of water parks in the US, go to that park’s food court, and post a picture of the price of food. I guarantee it’s creepier than those pictures.

    I can’t tell you how relieved I was to go places outside the anglosphere, and sometimes even in the anglosphere, and being fed for a price comparable to going to a US grocery store even while being a captive audience.

      The US has a long tradition of sketch water parks. One got shut down near me because a bunch of kids had tiny worms swim up their dicks and it gave them horrible bladder infections. I think, there was something with worms and dicks and kids getting sick, it was in the news.

    Why is it creepy, you may ask? It’s because Kim Jong Un goes to everyone’s house and points a gun at people and tells them they HAVE to go there. And then he DRIVES them there in an old Soviet TANK that his grandfather got from STALIN. STATE-MANDATED visits to the water park. And because of communism they have to ration the amount of time you spend on the slides. You can only go on one during each visit, which is only once a decade. And the poor souls of North Korea are, much like insects, DRONES who are so BRAINWASHED that they don’t even resist!
