Communist theme park to be set up in Berlin


A theme park that lets visitors travel back to in time to communist East Germany is to be set up in Berlin. The GDR Fun Park will be built in the east of the formerly divided city.

Visitors will pay about £8 to spend the day watching old news programmes and films before a GDR-style lunch.

German newspapers say it is not yet clear whether lunch orders will be met with the traditional GDR reply of: "Ain't got that." Theme park visitors will also be able to ride the infamous Trabant cars.
