Open since 2001, this park boasts the statues of Soviet dictators like Stalin (seen above) to preserve a dark time in Lithuania's (and other former Soviet states) history.

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.

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.

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.

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