The most bizzare South Korean theme park is missing. Hayshindong, or Penis Statue Park is located on the east coast just south of Samcheok City.

Suoi Tien Park might seem "bizarre" from the outside, but after living in Vietnam for over a year, I'm numb to what the Western world considers bizarre haha.

In the Dwarf Empire, do they sing "It's a Small World"?

And then of course, the one within our borders that shows Biblical characters coexisting with dinosaurs.

Is that that the dinosaur buildings by the Casino Morongo on the way to Palm Springs?

Weirdest of all, though: Vegas.

Is Disney World - with its Mad Hatters, villainous octopi, and animatronic Goofys - "normal"?

Forget the theme parks it's the surrounding 'city' owned by Disney that's creepy.

Tierra Santa is decidedly not the world's first religious theme park: Jim Bakker's Heritage USA was opened in 1978 in South Carolina.

http://www.jenisfamous.com/dev/2009/02/my-trip-to-the-tierra-santa-biblical-theme-park-in-buenos-aires-argentina.html

but did Heritage USA have a 36 foot tall animatronic Jesus?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritage_USA it was more then a theme park.

And don't forget the 'Biblical Experience' in Orlando FL touted on TBN.

Far from bizarre or "hyterical," most of those places seem interesting.

Bonbon Land you is indeed bizarre. It's not as cartoonish as the caption sounds.
