Mark has designed a new ride which allows adults to relive the nostalgia! Using electro-magnetic fields and/or bungee cords to make sure nobody is ever standing in exactly the right place, and a moving pitch to ensure any discernible talent is removed from the participants, you'll feel just like you're back at Woodlands' Primary getting in a feverish 15 minutes before the bell goes and it's your class's turn for lunch!&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Gary Lineker's Loop The Loop&nbsp;</strong></p><p>It's another world first at Footballland - the first rollercoaster that's also a toilet! We've all dreamed of being Gary Lineker, but with the highs come the lows, and if you walk a mile in the great striker's boots you've also got to do a poo on a field just like he did at Italia '90. Toilets at theme parks should be fun, and Gary Lineker's Poop The Loop is a thrill-a-minute bodily excavation.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Important Clarification On The Name Of Gary Mabbutt's 'The Queen's Nose' Arcade Machine&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Patron James Worley got in touch to propose a selection of possible names for this attraction, and after much debate we have settled on our favourite.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>PLUS we welcome a new sponsor of a Footballland car park, Rob Lindsay!&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Thanks all, keep your ride ideas coming!&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Anthony, Mark and Ryan </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Footballland Explained:</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Anthony Richardson has accidentally been given $1 billion dollars by Qatar to build a football-themed theme park in Qatar for the 2022 World Cup.
