What the Dickens?

If you've ever loved a book so much that you wanted to crawl between the pages and live there, this story's for you--assuming that book was Martin Chuzzlewit or maybe Oliver Twist. Yes, bookworms, there will soon be a theme park based on the works of Charles Dickens.

The Guardian has all the details. "The centrepiece is a boat ride which, loosely speaking, is Great Expectations presented as a log flume." You can't make this stuff up.

The Guardian's Book Blog is also having fun with the topic, suggesting additional authors who might be ripe for the Six Flags treatment. Knotts Berry Animal Farm, anyone?
