Would you go visit an Angry Birds theme park? Rovio certainly hopes so, as they’ve got plans to take their video game and plush toy phenomenon Angry Birds and turn it into the sort of thing you wait hours in line for. The first Angry Birds theme park will be opening at Särkänniemi Adventure Park in Tampere, Finland. And that won’t be the last, if Rovio CEO Peter Vesterbacka has his way.
“Zynga is a game company. We stopped looking at ourselves as a game company. We sold 25 million plush toys last year. For us, it’s about making Angry Birds available everywhere,” said Vesterbacka.
Angry Birds Lands won’t be a stand-alone thing, but a featured attraction inside a preexisting theme park. In that way, Angry Birds attractions could be coming to any theme park in your area… or possibly EVERY theme park EVER! The Angry Birds zone at Särkänniemi will contain slides, sand pits, and video games, all of which will center around Angry Birds. There is also an Angry Birds movie AND an Angry Birds television show in the works for the Bird-based empire.
