Mystery Park Mystery Park is an amusement park located near Interlaken, Switzerland. Designed by Erich von Dniken, it consists of seven pavilions, each of which explores a great "mystery" of the world. The Panorama Kugel is the central pavilion, topped by a 41-meter high sphere, from which the park's grounds can be seen. The Kugel also contains exhibits of von Dniken's works. Controversy Von Dniken is well known to advocate alien influence on Earth and he has written sensational books about the subject. Indeed, all attractions heavily advocate the idea of Alien visits on Earth. The theme of the park presents fantasy theories in an educational fashion, as if they were serious scientific facts. Notable statements include references to "prehistorical texts" (sic). The central tower is mainly devoted to the personal promotion of Erich von Dniken. The Mystery Park was labeled a "cultural Tchernobyl" by Acadmie suisse des sciences techniques member Antoine Wasserfallen, cited by the Swiss newspaper Le Temps http://archives.liste-aleph.org/ml/aleph-200308/msg00043.html and various other medias http://www.livenet.ch/www/index.php/D/article/196/10110/. Nonetheless, the Swiss federal railroad company advertises for the park and sells a combined ticket. In winter 2004, the park and its governmental support came under heavy criticism in the News of the main state television channel. External links
