Hi all,just been on a freebie to the mystery park in Interlaken,Switzerland so here's a quick opinion.
The park basically features six themed zones,egypt,mayans,nazca stonehenge etc,each being a cinema with a 12 minute film showing details of each subject.the film quality and sound is good and on large screen(not quite imax but ok).
The problem is the info is very basic and even the most junior fortean would probably know more about each subject anyway so i found it quite dull although the presentation is good.
Accompanying each main show is a side show exhibition,some of these are not quite so good,with the table top mock up of tihuanacho(spl)looking like something from Michael Bentine's Potty Time! and another one consisting of polystyrene/plastic replicas of certain stones(reminded me of spinal tap)
I didn't have time to view every film but as i said if you already know bits about the subject there is nothing new at all.it may appeal to the tourists on a rainy day or it could become the biggest themed backpackers hostel in the alps.Just my opinions,some people i sopke to enjoyed it but they had never read any of the subject matter at all.
sorry can't give more detail but time is short,see ya
