Willy Wonka’s Factory for real…in New Jersey?
“It’s Sugar!: The largest specialty sweets store in the world, visitors will travel across a candy-themed bridge over a 30-foot chocolate waterfall into a 36,000-square-foot city created out of sweets where they can enjoy a candy-themed elevated ride and candy museum.” -Wikipedia
Willy Wonka, anyone?
New Jersey is supposedly getting its own super-awesome indoor entertainment megaplex, Meadowlands Xanadu, which will supposedly have an incredibly awesome-sounding movie mega-super-luxury-plex by MUVICO, a House of Blues, Entertainment Weekly Center….and INDOOR SKIING (yes, it’s not just in Dubai anymore!)
Xanadu, Xanadu…..Charles Foster Kane, anyone?
There’s also some kind of weird idealistic-sounding indoor role-playing amusement park for kids where they can participate in many “careers” and get fake “money” they can spend in the “city.” Wait, no….this is good! Anything that keeps kids away from stupid time-wasting fake life dealies like EverQuest, The Sims, 2nd Life, etc. with REAL STUFF is fine by me, even if it is just a ploy to make parents spend money 
Well, it’s making me actually WANT to go to New Jersey, so….good idea, guys. I always approve of structures that have less of an overall footprint (combined parking saves land space). As long as they don’t build a stupid indoor beach like that place in Japan.

being a life long jersey resident we’re always dying for something cool to happen around here and this may be it. What sucks is that I’m already dreading the parking, the congestion, and the aggravation that might be associated with going there. That’s why we can’t have anything cool because it somehow gets complicated real quick.

Er, Willy Wonka is what we refer to as a “FICTIONAL CHARACTER,” maria. My headline was meant to be a “joke.”
