Original.  Dismaland was a temporary art project organized by the magnificent street artist, Banksy.  It was located near Somerset, England.  Some described it as a "sinister twisted-sister of Disneyland."  It was open for a month, August - September, a "family-themed park unsuitable for children."  A dear friend of mine from the states actually boarded a last-minute flight, husband in tow, and pleaded to just about everybody in a half-mile radius for an entry ticket the very last weekend it was open.  She is a full-grown adult, well-traveled, and declared it one of the best adventures to date.
