Roswell, New Mexico Unveils Proposal for UFO Theme Park

imageMy first thought upon reading about the plans: You mean there isn’t already a UFO theme park in Roswell, New Mexico? And are the Roswell UFO Museum and the annual “Roswalien Experience” festival not enough to satisfy those interested in immersing themselves in the minutia of the Roswell Incident? Apparently not.

According to an AP story by Tim Korte, the Alien Apex Resort could open by 2010 and it may feature an “indoor roller coaster that would take passengers on a simulated alien abduction.” Said designer Bryan Temmer: “Nobody will be harmed and everybody will be returned, hopefully, in the same shape.” Whew!

Don’t think I can wait for the theme park. May have to attend the Roswalien Experience in July to see the original “Starchild Skull.” 

Genetic Enigma or Human-Alien Hybrid?
I’ll keep you all posted.
