From promotional material for Maharishi Veda Land, a theme park
planned for construction in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The park,
which is the creation of magician Doug Henning "under the
guidande of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi," is expected to open by
1996. A press release states that the $1.5 billion park, on
1,400 acres, will "combine enlightenment, knowledge, and
entertainment."
The Maharishi Veda Land Theme Park --- "The Pride of Canada" --- will
bring enlightenment to visitors as they experience higher states of
consciousness. Each of the park's attractions will expand visitors'
appreciation of their own infinite potential. They will experience reality
and illusion, immortality and change, unity in diversity, infinity within
a point, and the universe within the self.
There will be thirty-three original rides and shows, including:
* Magic Flying Chariot Ride --- Take a ride deep inside the molecular
structure of a rose.
* Corridor of Time --- Fly down through history from the beginning of
of creation to the end of the universe.
* Courtyard of Illusion --- See the world's only levitating building,
which floats fifteen feet above water, and discover that there is
more to reality than your sense can perceive.
* Veda Vision --- Experience a spectacular vision of the totality of
life as images appear in midair.
* Seven Steps to Enlightenment --- Feel enlightened as you visit seven
wondrous pavilions radiating out like the spokes of a wheel. Your
path has been carefully designed to lead you, in an entertaining
way, step-by-step to enlightenment.
The park's attractions will answer those eternal questions in the
minds of men: "What is my connection to the infinitely expanding
universe? Where is the stream of life flowing as we spiral down
the corridor of time? Who am I?"
