Middle Earth Theme Park
|
Can't Post
|
|
In 2009, Universal Orlando, Florida will be opening the new "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" theme park, which looks pretty awesome. It would be nice if Disney, or someone would create a theme park world based off of LOTR and Hobbit. Anyone have any thought on this; what should it include, etc.
