We've posted about the World of Warcraft and Starcraft themed amusement park in China before, but there are some new pictures from "Joyland" to share today. Redditor FrancescaO_O posted about her experience there, saying "It's pretty huge. We didn't have time to see everything but the rides we did go on were great."

There's also an article about it on this Shanghai website with a lot more images, including several showing just how blatant a rip-off the theme park is (Thanks JaviG). It's amazing that stuff like this can go on in China, but we expect nothing less at this point—the park reportedly cost $48 million to build, and you don't spend that kind of scratch unless you're positive there aren't going to be any legal consequences.
