The difficulty [In reply to] Can't Post

is that Tolkien's Middle-earth creation is high-quality storytelling which has influenced modern fantasy. How to keep that quality and class in a theme park, while also being entertaining for visitors, would be very difficult to do.

If it could be done, great. I'm all for introducing more people to Tolkien's world - but whatever is developed, it needs to retain the spirit of Tolkien otherwise it becomes just another fantasy product with a big name for its brand.

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.
