Someone’s found a really weird ‘theme park’ based on the Covid pandemic

A strange Covid-19 theme park complete with googly-eyed pathogens and a timeline clock has been found by a woman in Vietnam.

The Tuyen Lam Lake National Tourist Complex lies in the southeast of the country.

29-year-old Ella Ribak found several different ‘themed zones’ during her visit – one of which was called the ‘Covid-19 park’.

Ella, from London, said: ‘It was such a weird experience.

‘Me and the other travellers couldn’t stop laughing and we kept looking around to see if any Vietnamese people found it funny as well, but they all seemed pretty serious.

‘The clock at the start made it all feel pretty dystopian, and the fact all the sculptures were shrouded in trees.

‘But then when you turned a corner and saw a human-size pathogen with googly eyes on it locked in a jail, it just becomes funny.’

She added: ‘It was really strange trying to figure out how serious the park was.

‘Obviously it touches on a sensitive topic for some people, but the clay sculptures seemed so jokey that it’s hard to tell.

‘Ultimately we had a great time, even if we didn’t take it as it was meant.’

This isn’t the first time an unusual theme park has been found by somebody.

Eerie photos show the sad state of a once buzzing UK theme park, abandoned and left to decay.

The images offer a rare glimpse inside the gates of Pleasure Island in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, eight years after it closed down for good.

The seaside theme park opened in 1993 and was a hit with families for several years until visitor numbers started to drop and the attraction was forced to shut in 2016.

Many other theme parks across the UK have been forced to close down over the years as well.

Some of these sites have been demolished for new developments, others stand eerily frozen in time, reclaimed by nature and haunted by the laughter of the past.

From teacup rides to 114-year-old carousels, many theme parks have been lost to history.
