BinLadenLand


How do you fill the void when your most important celebrity is no more?   If you're Abbottabad, Pakistan, former retirement home of Osama bin Laden, you build an amusement park.

A wildlife zoo, an adventure club, paragliding, restaurants and waterfalls – it’s all part of a $30 million project the Pakistani government is undertaking to improve the image of Abbottabad after Osama bin Laden was killed in the town in 2011.

A brand-new amusement park in the small town will reportedly be finished in eight years. Once fully complete, the 50-acre riverside entertainment park will include restaurants, a heritage center, artificial waterfalls, a wildlife zoo and running tracks.
