An Amusment Park Just For Me

Now this is an amusement park for which I would gladly buy a season pass and even pay extra for the silly 64-oz. soda container. Not only can you tour a museum where you can be introduced to the "history of automobility," but the kids get an area where they get to drive little cars, much like at Legoland (but with cute VWs, not boxy Volvos):


There is also a car design lab where visitors are encouraged to create their own designs, other learning labs, and, best of all, a driver training course:


The capper for the whole thing is the new car delivery system. The park abuts Volkswagen's factory system, enabling the automaker to whisk new cars directly to the park for pickup. It is no ordinary delivery system, however. Here is how the cars are stored:


In the immortal word of Neo, "whoa." Yet, it is neither the Matrix nor a Hotwheels carrying case. It is a set of two 20-story buildings with an automated lift and storage cubby system, directly linked to the factory.

If only Audi (a VW company) allowed for European delivery.
