The new Viking Theme Park in Dubai would surprise the braids off any decent Viking. After the books, came the movies, then the science game and now this theme park. Don't have a dragon that you can fly in real life? Not to worry, just hop onto the ride and get a feeling of flight. It has been a few years in the making, but it's finally ready and you can look at the Viking world from the award winning inverted dark ride designed by Mack Rides.
Best Things About an Imaginary Viking World(with dragons!)
The flying of course, assuming they have dragons and that they would allow us on their backs! The biggest thrill would be flying them and sharing the view of the world that they have.
Having hard fights. Knocking other Viking off their feet. Chucking weapons and helmets at will and for no reason.
Lifting weapons which are big, clunky and lethal.
Using fish oil to have luxurious hair - all long, oily and smelly.
Being one in a tight knit group of dragon riders and cracking jokes at each other's expense.
Eating big and burping loud enough to be heard across the oceans.
The excitement of pushing the frontiers of where one can fly.
Building homes with retractable roofs.
Surviving in a new world gives us a feeling of surviving the frontier lands with its share of excitement and danger.
The excitement of the Unknown
The reason people like unknown worlds, is the excitement of the unknown. It's where there are no rules to be followed. In fact it's where new rules can be formulated to solve issues. Participants can find their strengths and weaknesses. By learning new things they psychologically feel more competent. Getting out of one's comfort zone maybe hard, but once out it's a great way to give up inhibitions and stride forward.
Conquering frontier lands has been happening for millennia. Starting out might be hard, but once people set out, they explore and establish themselves. There is an immense satisfaction in building something in a new land. The feeling of being the first is wonderful, however lonely it might actually be. Earth has held many hidden corners which has afforded great excitement for explorers.
In popular culture
Conquering new worlds has been a recurring theme in books, movies, video games and TV serials. Bored of Earth and reality, one can travel back into historic lands in a fantastic fashion. When one is bored of traveling back, then one can travel into the new frontier lands - outer space. Star Trek the super popular series ran for many years. Again it showed not just new lands and new life forms, it showed the maturing of people both as a race and individually. Viking World or Outer Space, the excitement of the unknown is just the ecosystem in which we as humans evolve.
