This won't be the first time a "unique" theme park has come to fruition in China. In 2009 there was aKingdom of Dwarvestheme park that showcased people of short stature.

There's alsoOriental Landnear Shanghai, China.Oriental Landfeatures a water park, boat rides, military defense training and a full sized American aircraft replica complete with Chinese military hardware on display inside.

Completing the circle of weird isJoyland, which will apparently be comprised of five themed sections: Terrain of Warcraft, Universe of StarCraft, Island of Mystery, Moles World (the cute section), and World of Legend.
