Amity
The latest news live from WWTP Radio warns us another Tidal Wave is on its way and everyone must head to the Amity Cannery immediately to evacuate the area!
Amity, the first major area to be installed after The Tussauds Group purchased the park, is an example of how good the theming of a regional park can be. Set in the fictional village of Amity Cove, an American fishing community, which has been ravaged by regular Tidal Waves, actually created as the splash from the Tidal Wave ride.
Destroyed buildings such as a Gas Station and Church are prominent from the main area, while others have faired the destruction fairly well. This theme is kept consistent in the main area with a shark embedded in the building housing the parks KFC food outlet, hinting heavily at a connection to the Jaws film franchise.
The area was extended to include the Amity Speedway when Stealth opened in 2006, themed around a racetrack next to the village. WWTP Radio extends here, with a different loop. Though Amity is divided by Big Easy Boulevard, the American theme throughout doesn’t create a jarring experience!
