Are You Prepared For Real Madrid: The Ride?

↵↵But Real Madrid wants to take that a step further and create an entire amusement park dedicated to itself. The park is sure to promise hours of excitement to people who have trouble having fun unless they’re doing something their favorite team has found a way to monetize yet. ↵

↵↵And so forth.↵
↵↵One would have to think that hooligans may only be admitted to the park at a premium cost. Keeping all those medical tents around ain’t gonna be cheap. Unless there’s a hooligan ride. Getting shived by a broken bottle is guaranteed to give you more of a jump than any pennyante Tower of Terror.↵
