THE BUILDING(S) WALES MOST NEEDS - The Final Call



As excitement mounts the last minute entries for The Dragons Dump, Grand Slum, XXX Factor,I'm a Non-Entity Please Leave Me Here, Celebrity Come Drawing Architectural extravaganza at the Welsh School of Architecture tonight, the judges struggle with the concept of yet another Welsh theme park proposal. In the dubious traditions of Legend Court and Valleywood, the plans for Llandisney are nothing if not ambitious. The 2,000 hectare site at the Heads of the Valleys, which straddles the border of the Brecon Beacons National Park, was initially earmarked for a windfarm. Both the local authority and tourist board have indicated cautious support for the project.
The park will have a Main Street, Wales, authentically modelled on that seen in the film, How Green is My Valley. Around that the promoters propose themed areas including Rugbyland,  Choristers Cove, Merlins Mountain, and Llaregubland which will recreate Dylan Thomas' famous seaside village and its charming characters. Other attractions will include a nightly parade ending in a re-enactment of the Chartist Rising and guests will also have the opportunity of participating in a simulation of the Merthyr Cholera epidemic after sampling the parks catering.
