Gonzo Land Theme Park Muppet Magazine Map

Thrills! Chills! Spills! Drills! Windowsills! Daffodils!

All this and more can be found at an absurd Gonzo the Great Theme Park called Gonzo Land.  The Summer 1988 issue of Muppet Magazine featured a great park map of this bizarre Weirdo World attraction.

Slide down the thrilling Mold Mountain.  Blast off on Gonzo's Cannonball Ride.  Take a thrilling ride on the Gonzo Monorail. 

Are you hungry?  Try some Peanut Butter Pickles, Marshmallow Stuffed Olives, Spam-On-A-Stick, or some Liver and Whipped Cream.

Don't forget to visit the International House of Anchovies, the Spaghetti Toss, and the Tunnel of Rugs!

    Hey Tom! This would be tough to forget! I believe the Muppets will eventually have a stronger presence in the Disney Parks. Busch Gardens/Sea World Parks, Sesame Place and Universal Studios Japan seem to be doing well with the Sesame Street characters.

    TokyoMagic!--I can see that!

    I am totally up for a trip through the Tunnel of Rugs.

    And maybe it was our conversation on Facebook earlier, Dan, but I first read "Gonzo's Cannibal Ride". Creepy.

    Too funny, Peyton!!

    Yes, the Tunnel of Rugs must be seen! I'd also really like to try a Marshmallow Stuffed Olive.
