The UK's Sealand is a weird enough place already before you bring in the Red Sands Sea Forts that have been claimed by the 'micronation'. The forts that haven't been appropriated lay abandoned and lifeless, a strange monument to their original purpose, which was to defend the River Thames from invasion during World War Two. Now they don't serve much purpose other than to look like disused sets from the movie Waterworld, which a studio could always use if they were looking to produce a reboot...
1. Holy Land USA - Waterbury, Connecticut
And of course the top spot is reserved for the most bizarre theme park in the world: Holy Land, USA. Built in the mid-1950s in Waterbury, Connecticut, the so-called tourist 'attraction' was based on selected passages from the Bible, including a recreation of the Garden of Eden and a diorama depicting David in the lion's den. While relatively popular in the 1960s and 1970s, the park's visitor count wavered in the '80s and Holy Land USA shut its doors in 1984, although there have been some community projects aimed at maintaining several of the park's features. What do you think? Weird and wonderful enough for you? Or can you name some even stranger places? Let us know in the comments!
