I wonder how long it'll be before Blizzard sues them.

Doubt it, China already has a fake Disney Land and fake angry birds theme park.

China has fake EVERYTHING. Some of their laws [regarding companies working together] means they HAVE to share trade secrets. [Or something like that.]

I bet the developer side of the office is looking at it in awe and planning a trip whilst the publisher side is scratching their heads and fuming at "lost" revenue. >.<

I like the introduction shown for one of the rides:

"With hoarse scream cutting through the dark cloud, frozen air approaching the firmament; with smoke rolling battle drum roaring, Look! Some enormous and terrifying creatures are riding craft chariots and killing everything in sight."

It gets so worked up by the middle of the piece that it runs out of enthusiasm by the end and reports the death of everything as a completely matter of fact statement. Genius.

I used to play WoW. I went off it. It bored me. That being said, this theme park looks badass, and I'd still go there.

Stupid China and their cool* but counterfeit stuff. Grumble grumble.
