Thought this was a bit amusing when I read it. It also illustrates the sad state of affairs the US/Mexico border is in.

Would like to hear any ideas on other theme park rides that would be a hit such as this. If we get enough maybe we can make our own NS theme park.

The comedy trio Culture Clash once did a skit called "American Border Gladiators." Maybe someone turned that into a serious game?

:D

Other rides similar to this? How about a drug dealer theme park. You meet up with people in a dark, ghetto-style landscape, exchange play money for a drug simulant, then attempt to sell it to others. All the while you've got to defend yourself against paintball gun weilding fellow players who will try to steal your fake drugs and fake money and avoid park workers dressed as cops. At the end of the day you can buy fun prizes with the fake cash you've earned.

That would be a good one. Was thinking of a ride that pits your skill at picking up prostitutes. You obviously would have to avoid the undercover cops, STD's and angry pimps.

Hell yeah. I'd go there. I'm sure some group of concerned suburban parents would try to get it closed down though.

Just as long as the blowjobs are real and not just simulated it sounds good.

Seconded. I knew my upbringing could come in handy someday...
