Enter the nightmare version of Disneyland - Dismaland. Dismaland is a five-week show brought to the world by street artist Banksy. The art project features 10 works and offers a "sinister twist on Disneyland". According to the BBC, Bansky describes his work as "a family theme park unsuitable for children".  If you've been waiting all your life to see a ruined, haunted Disneyland -- this is your chance!!
Banksy is a street artist most commonly known for dark work that usually offers some satirical meaning about society. So it makes sense he went ahead and created Dismaland.
Dismaland also features work from Damien Hirst, Jenny Holzer and Jimmy Cauty and is located in Weston-super-Mare, a seaside town in Somerset, England.
According to the BBC, Bansky described Dismaland like as "a theme park whose big theme is 'theme parks should have bigger themes'."
Which might be one reason you can see a killer whale jumping out of a toilet...
Or the grim reaper driving around in a bumper car.
While the work is incredibly interesting, it is also a little terrifying.
The park is Banksy's biggest show yet and after just opening, the website reportedly crashed multiple times because people are so excited to learn more about the haunted world he has created.
The show will run until September 27th, allowing 4,000 tickets to be sold daily.
So, if you are dying to step inside this twisted amusement park, better get your ticket while you can!
Check out this video below which gives you a little more insight into what might be one of the least magical theme parks on earth.
What do you think about Dismaland?
Just remember Dismaland looks pretty interesting, but even though the name sounds similar, it is NO Disneyland. It's not even close.
