To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Hello Kitty, the new £210 million theme park centred around the iconic character in east China’s Zhejiang province opened its doors for a special inauguration ceremony. Hello Kitty Park will be China's first large scale amusement park scheduled to open to the public on New Year's day. Japanese company Sanrio, who created Hello Kitty in 1974, have joined with entertainment design firm Hettema Group from California, to bring their new park to life.

It wasn’t the capitalist nature of the park that freaked me out. It was the subject matter.

The Chairman is spinning in his grave.

This park will be a massive success. Good luck to them.

That may be one of the creepiest things I’ve ever seen while awake.
