Please disregard if this has been covered,
Today's NY Post has a blurb about a new G.I. Joe theme park ( they used the actual name so I'm guessing they didn't just mean Millitary) to open in Destin Fl in their "Weird but True" section. Not too much info beyond that. I read it in the actual paper but will look on the Post's webpage and see if I can get a link up. Again apologies if this is not news.

CC, thanks for the heads up. The theme park in question will be not centered around the original 12" Era of G.I.Joe, but will focus on celebrating our nations veterans. Although named "GI Joes Theme Park", it's association with our beloved brand remains to be seen. Here's a link to a local (Destin) newspaper:
G.I. Joe?s has rolled into town: Veteran-themed park to come next summer - News - The Destin Log “This will be themed towards our veterans,” said Bruner. “The theme is around our forces and their tremendous sacrifice for this country; its part of an ‘Apocalypse Now’ type theme.” "The new park will showcase history of the American Forces throughout the past 100 years." |

That makes more sense. I couldnt see anyone pumping money into an actual Joe brand park after the way the line has been going lately. i guess the paper just went with a popular house hold name to push the article. But tell me a Firebat launch wouldnt make for a fun ride!
