Original theme park idea!

So the Germans have no sense of humour? So goes the stereotype, but this story about the proposed Communist Theme Park suggests the stereotype is off the mark. (Link from Samizdata.net).

Massine Productions GmbH hopes to recreate a 10,000-square metre (107,600 sq ft) replica of East Germany, complete with surly border guards, rigorous customs inspections, authentic East German mark notes, and restaurants with regulation bland East German food.

I suppose shooting anyone who tries to leave, as suggested by one of the Samizdata commenters would be taking realism a bit to far. What next? Package tours to North Korea?
