 OBK's kind of amusement park
http://inhabitat.com/dismantled-german-nuclear-plant-transformed-into-incredible-wunderland-kalkar-amusement-park/Last month Germany announced plans to completely phase out the use of nuclear power by 2022 in favor of renewable energy sources - however what is to become of the nation's nuclear plants after they have been shut down? Enter West Germany's Wunderland Kalkar - an incredible adaptive reuse project that transformed a never-used nuclear reactor into an amusement park! The remarkable renovation took a power station in Kalkar and turned it into a park that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. check out the photo gallery

 Re: OBK's kind of amusement park
I want to play in one that still has residual radiation. Maybe it'll make the Mohawk brighter.

Never used ? If they spent what it cost's to build it I'll bet they tested it. Do the people have a better tan when they leave? We could test the theory with his aunt.
