Princess Diana's car accident has become a theme park attraction in America

A new American theme park unveiled an attraction based on the death of Princess Diana

The 1997 car accident that killed the British royal is reconstructed by a 3D animation at the National Enquirer Live, a "museum immersive "of Tennessee (19659002). The park, which opened Friday, is dedicated to the history of the American tabloid . National Enquirer and his celebrity articles invite visitors to "explore a story still unknown." It also presents a replica of the scene where the ex-wife of OJ Simpson was found murdered, as well as Michael Jackson in a hyperbaric chamber and a reenactment of the moment when the "King of Pop" suspended his baby from a balcony, next to exhibits on aliens, Bigfoot and landing on the moon (as well as conspiracy theories on landing on the moon).

Speaking about the controversial exhibition of Princess Diana, Robin Turner, one of the park's leading investors, told The Daily Beast : "This is a 3D computer model, and you despise what looks like Paris. It's projected and you see the buildings and everything that comes in a 3D presentation … And that shows the trail leaving the Ritz hotel, the paparazzi in pursuit and the flash-flash that blinded the driver blindly – and why

The creators insist that the attraction was handled with tact and that it "has absolutely no bad taste".

"There is no blood," said Turner. "There is nothing of that." He adds that this also introduces visitors to the conspiracy theories surrounding Diana 's death, such as the claim that the "Princess of the People" was pregnant with Dodi Fayed' s child and that she was "deadly". she had been murdered by the British intelligence services.

"You will be asked what you believe is the cause of her death and who was behind her," says Turner. "We ask questions like," Do you think the royal family was involved? "" Do you think she was pregnant? ""

This is part of a larger exhibition called The Royals' Closet, which is full of reenactments of outfits worn by Royals.

Arousing Controversy

Before the Opening, Turner said he heard about possible protests from people who did not like the tabloid, and, unsurprisingly, news from the Diana show was not very well received in the UK

former media officer of Princess Diana told The Independent that the exhibition was "in very bad taste." Dickie Arbiter, who was the spokesman for the royal family between 1988 and 2000, told the British newspaper, "I would not say it's an attraction, but it's very tacky." Tacky is not loud enough, but I do not think the words are strong enough.

"[[Robin Turner] says that this is not bad taste – well, I doubt q u know anything bad if it slaps him in the face.

He added that he thought that the two sons of Princess Diana, Prince Harry and Prince William, aged 12 and 15 at the time of their mother's death, would be "very offended" by this exhibition and by their family. Tragedy is transformed into entertainment for the American public.

When The Daily Beast asked Turner if he thought they would be offended, he said, "I hope not. But it's hard to say. I know they are very sensitive. With everything, I think they had to, you know, there is nothing new to present.

Many commentators have also used Twitter to denounce the exhibition. Entertainment blogger Perez Hilton simply wrote "brutal". Other terms used (among many explétifs) include the following: "disgusting", "disgusting" and "disrespectful".

The Diana Exhibition is one of about 100 based on 2,043 square meter attractions park, based in Pigeon Forge, about six kilometers from the Dolly Parton Entertainment Complex, Dollywood, is one of two national Enquirer Live attractions to have been built, the second in Branson, Missouri. The latter should open on June 28th.

Turner expects Pigeon Forge Park to attract 450,000 customers in its first year of use. Tickets are $ 25 (92 Dh).
