Inside Dismaland: Banksy's Pop-Up Revealed As Weston-Super-Mare 'Theme Park' Opens

Banksy officially opened the doors to a new pop-up exhibition to the public on Friday - created inside a derelict swimming pool he regularly used as a child. The graffiti artist's show, called 'Dismaland', a sinister twist on the Disneyland theme park with a remarkably similar branded logo, has been months in the making. A fire-ravaged Disney-style castle will be the star attraction of the secret exhibition as well as a Punch and Judy style exhibition with references to Jimmy Savile. The attraction, which will remain open for five weeks, also includes a cinema, circus tent and amusement arcade - all with unique twists. The impressive stunt has been created at Tropicana - a former lido - in the seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare near Bristol.
