"Last Word"-"Dickens World"

Friday, April 20, 2007

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, while literary purists may protest, there's a new theme park in the works outside of London, celebrating the life of Charles Dickens, his books and best loved characters. The folks behind "Dickens World" are transforming a 70,000 square foot warehouse into a theme park featuring the cobblestone streets and store fronts of 19th century England. Among the park's features, a water ride, the haunted house of Ebenezer Scrooge and a 4-D animatronics theater review of Dickens life. And Paul, while I know you have "Great Expectations" for "Dickens World", its opening has been delayed until the end of May.

KANGAS: I hope it is not because of hard times.
