Romania builds Dracula Land

Romanian Government has announced plans for a theme park in honour of controversial figure of Count Dracula.
Tourism Minister Matei Dan told journalists park - Dracula Land - would open in summer of 2002, at an as yet undisclosed location, widely assumed to be in Transylvania.

Count Dracula is a Romanian national hero better known outside country for association with legends of bloodsucking vampires - as described by 19th century author Bram Stoker. Mr Dan dismissed criticism that park would harm Romania's image. Announcing project - expected to cost $60m - he said park would be a tribute to "the image of a great Romanian hero". Vlad_2.jpg

myth of Dracula, launched by 1897 novel of Irish author Bram Stoker, is based on life of the prince of Vlad, Vlad-the-Impaler. His escapades against the neighbouring Turks and Hungarians in 15th century have given him the stature of a national hero in Romania.
