Korea’s Kinect-powered theme park

Kinect-powered astronaut scales, Kinect-powered fitting rooms—and lo and behold, the Kinect-powered theme park.

There’s reason for gamers everywhere to envy South Korea’s Live Park 4D: it’s the world’s largest 360 degree stereoscopic theatre, it has the world’s largest interactive projection square, and the park has the world’s most advanced avatar games.

Jealous much? We are – the only thing the US has that’s comparable is, well, um… nothing yet (not to say the Harry Potter theme park isn’t cool). Other parks that come close are the Warcraft/Starcraft-themed amusement park in Changzhou called World Joyland.

The Live Park 4D’s capacity holds up to 3,000 visitors, and there are 65 different attractions to choose from. Visitors are given RFID wristbands that allow them to create avatars of themselves while playing the various games.

Rumors are stirring up that the Live Park concept might reach North America, but for now our South Korean friends and tourists are the only ones in the world to experience the luxury.
