The trailer for Banksy's Dismaland theme park is very, very dark

The trailer for Banksy's Dismaland theme park is very, very dark

Banksy's pop up bemusement park 'Dismaland' opened in Weston-super-Mare last week, and first reports say it really is a viable alternative to the "sugar-coated tedium of the average family day out".

The dystopian paradise now has an equally dismal promotional video, in which a family decide to escape from mindless escapism by paying the park a visit.

The park's attractions, which include the chance to "navigate the high seas" full of refugees on a Mediterranean boating lake and a Jimmy Savile themed Punch and Judy show, definitely aren't suitable for all the family - and neither is the trailer, which has a nasty surprise at the end.
