Looking forward to watching Clarkson, Hammond and May destroy it in an future episode.
Anyone else read England, England? It’s about the creation of just such a theme park on the Isle of Wight
“For a more real EnglandLand experience, exit park.”
Clarkson Island becomes reality!
They should have a Monty Python attraction.

Hasn’t Prince Charles already built Englandland?
Englandland. That was a hilarious fake vacation destination in the March '75 issue of National Lampoon. The late Sean Kelly was the writer.

The other thing I’m reminded of is Lord Sutch, and the Monster Raving Loony Party - who wished as a campaign promise, to close Britain for renovation for a year and re-open as a theme-park.
I had tickets to see Screaming Lord Sutch in Las Vegas… But he died just a few weeks before the show. Sad.
That’s as silly as building a California-themed park in California.

Thank you, Captain-Joke-Ruiner.
You actually interpreted my comment in a way that you thought that I actually…?
I don’t know whether to be insulted on my behalf or sad on yours.
Will only be complete with a huge crowd of foaming wankers, who are not racists, positioned just by the entry gate, tasked with keeping out anyone who looks foreign.
