Underrated part of the new Defunctland Video

[michiruze]

I'm just yapping but I am Thinking how it's a sheer coincidence that both Defunctland and Jenny Nicholson dropped videos about theme parks that has elements of 'career roleplay' and i wondered why did one work, but the other (Star Wars Hotel) didn't?

Then it hit me that the Star Wars Hotel is just. A "Kid City". but in space. but yknow.....shitty. It's basically everything that could go wrong in Kid Cities but with a 3000$ price tag....

It's like they tried to combine Kidzania (I'm Southeast Asian, I will use it as my point of reference instead of Wannado) with SFF LARPing as a hotel. But like they have zero idea how to manage the scheduling and logistics of the former. Something to think about.

It actually made me think "What if Michael Eisner discovered the existence of Wannado/Kidzania during his Hong Kong Disney era" and I do not want to imagine what it'll look like.

Hey I'm watching the new defunctland on kid cities and he mentions that in wannado city there was a pretend vet with realistic animatronic pets that kids could roleplay with

I was wondering if you possibly have more info, pictures or videos of these animatronics? I know it's a long shot but still I'm curious

I actually went to Wannado several times as a kid, but I don't remember the vet; it might have been added after I stopped going, though.

It was sponsored by Frontline and Heartgard, possibly others as well, and the animatronics were likely professional training dummies. The hospital and dentist sections had actual medical dummies, so I'd assume the same for the vet.

Here's a brief clip of a dog animatronic breathing!

Me, watching the new Defunctland video: it is insane that there was a lawsuit about who owned the intellectual rights to kid city attractions, because at least two or three years before Ciudad De Los Niños existed, we had KidsTown in Plano, Texas, an idea so similar, that when I recently saw that KidZania (which I believe is the same company as Ciudad De Los Niños) existed in Frisco, Texas (literally one city over from Plano), I was kind of confused because their website acts as if they originated the idea.

Me, getting to part three of the video: oh, so they’re just straight-up wrong about owning the idea. Got it.

Two days with three sweethearts. Thank you for adopting my little wannadoodle creatures - it felt a bit like hosting a cosy VIP flash day! :D

Chickichick for Hazel (plus healed pumpkin from April), scrawly kitty for Alex, and a feisty dandelion + watermelon for Chey! 💖

PS: Can you tell I'm having a hard time drawing things without hearts? XD

PPS: Still struggling with creating good lighting conditions for my camera with the new black background wallpaper... 😣

So, apparently there was a theme park in florida at one point called Wannado City, essentially it was a kids sized city where kids could do “jobs” (aka fun semi-educational experiences) and earn play money, which they could spend to go on rides, get snacks, all sorts of stuff, you could even save your money and spend it on your next visit, but, the thing is, they had over 100 jobs, including, jury member, anesthesiologist, pathologist, clown, and what I’m most interested in, fucking BAIL BONDSMAN, if you don’t know, a Bail Bondsman, is a the legal term for a BOUNTY HUNTER, banks will hire Bail Bondsman to go and track down people who skip on loans and bring them into the police, AND YOU COULD BE ONE IN A FAKE CITY DESIGNED FOR FOUR TO TWELVE YEAR OLDS! Holy Shit, I wish I had this place near me as a kid
