Diggerland: Construction Theme Park

“Diggerland” are theme parks in the UK oriented around playing with construction equipment, using it as faux carnival rides or for its intended purpose, to dig and smash and rend. The ride names give some clue to the experience: “Dippy Ducks,” “Buried Treasure,” “Robot Driving.”

The whole thing sounds like a dumb joke until you think about it, because driving around construction equipment actually would be more fun than most stupid theme park rides.

Rumor has it a Diggerland is coming to the US, but I have a bit of hard time believing they’d be able to get the proper clearances in our litigious society.
