In many ways theme park culture is much like a secular religious culture that insists that all real-life events be fit to its own theology. To do this, theme parks must take our historical events, environments, conditions and lifestyles and sanitize them while they synthesize them. A simplified history and other realities are turned into neat pleasant packages that can be swallowed in dainty morsels with very little 'indigestion.'
