Wes Anderson Wants To Build A Theme Park With Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh

In the forward to Mark Mothersbaugh’s new book Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia, which features “a lifetime of his creative inventions,” whatever that means, Wes Anderson writes:

“I hope to soon secure the means to commission the construction of an important and sizeable theme park to be conceived and designed entirely by Mark Mothersbaugh. For 40 years he has set about creating a body of work which amounts to his own Magic Kingdom, where the visitor is amused and frightened, often simultaneously.” (Via)

Finally, a place where the common art-rock fan can feel accepted! Can you imagine what a theme park designed by Wes Anderson might look like? (Actually, yes.) Who knows if the Most Magically Precious Place on Earth — all the ticket-takers wear fancy pajamas — will ever actually open, but we do some have suggestions for potential rides.

-Mr. Tenenbaum’s Wild Ride
-Haunted Grand Budapest Hotel
-Margot’s Adventures in Mental Hospital-Land
-Splash Mountain (that’s where you get a handjob in a Jaguar that’s driving up a mountain)

You must wear a sweater and be twee tall to ride all of them.
