GAZA STRIP – In its continuing efforts to improve the everyday lives of Palestinians, the Hamas Movement today has announced the opening of the new
Sewage Tsunami Theme Park in Gaza. Park manager Ibn Eidn Renuuzit, citing strong attendance numbers for the opening weekend said “
we aren’t quite up there with Six Flags Over The Great Satan but we are confident in our eventual success, Insha’Allah”
The theme park is the first of its kind for this tiny strip of land but its proximity to popular Mediterranean beach resorts promises to bring much needed tourist dollars to this impoverished area.
The grand opening wasn’t without a few hitches as several park goers drowned in the
Wave Pool of Raw Sewage attraction when the ride malfunctioned. The resulting deluge threw some riders from their boogie boards and into the adjacent
Cesspool of Foul-Smelling Effluent ride.
But by day two the crowds were back and, while the tourist numbers haven’t quite picked up yet, the locals are enjoying the excitement of a novel approach to entertainment for this small town. Said eight year old, Yasser Osama Olbermann, “
this sure beats going to school and learning how to detonate suicide vests”. His indulgent mother just smiled and rubbed his head saying, “
you have your fun today, little one, but tomorrow it’s back to your studies”. “
Awwww, mom” beamed back young Yasser.
According to Renuuzit, the park offers single day admission tickets only and has no plans for offering season long packages adding, “
there is just no market here for long term commitments, I guess”.
