Okay...I guess...um...

I suppose that anything's fair game in this day and age...but...a theme park based on Charles Dickens? 

I'm thinking the food concessions need to serve beer to minors and nothing to eat but gruel...

The rides could include spinning machines where you get to walk on treadmills to run them while the rest of the neighborhood kids narrowly avoid having fingers amputated by the whirling machinery...

Oh, and pickpockets...gotta have them.

Couple quotes:

"You can't Disney-fy Dickens," said managing director Kevin Christie, "because he was better and he was first."

Promotional literature for Dickens World promises the "sounds and smells" of the 19th century.
