New Ripley attraction in Orlando?


As you may already know, here in Orlando (as in many other cities throughout Florida, U.S. and the world) we have a Ripley's Museum of oddities, which is very nice and it's located on International Drive.

Here's a picture of the museum, courtesy of an unknown Flickr guest:


Well, according to a Screamscape rumor, Ripley's is considering building a brand-new kind of museum experience, that will be focused on the "Guinness World Records". Ripley's already has some GWR museums (not in Orlando), but this will be different, much more interactive:

Ripley Entertainment - (11/17/10) Ripley Entertainment has shown off a new version of the popular Guinness World Records attraction at IAAPA this week. The new style attraction will focus more on fun and interactive exhibits, allowing guests the option to see what it’s like to try and break world records through a series of 75 “challenge stations”. The first new prototype attraction is expected to break ground in 2011, though the exact location has not been finalized. Locations like Orlando, Gatlinburg and several international sites are on the short list of options being looked at right now. Existing sites will also be able to be upgraded into the new concept as well when the time is right.

So, among the possible location of the list, there's Orlando. That would be very nice, as we only have one Ripley's attraction in town. Thoughts?
