A New Theme Park

I've got an idea for a new theme park. How about a revolution theme park? Revolution is everywhere and we can get in on the ground floor! The two go together perfectly. Theme parks are exciting, dangerous, people sometimes die, and after a long day of consuming trash everyone will feel sick and puke! Then, after the thrill wears off, people wander out into the parking lot, reconnect with their families, and go on about living life.
We can brand it for so many demographics! Geriatric revolution for old lefties, gay and lesbian revolution, feminist revolution, Christian revolution, environmentalist revolution, etc... We can even have a bit of counter-revolution, preferably in the food court. The kiddie revolution can involve anti-parent propaganda, computer technology- oh wait, that's public school.
And that's why, ladies and gentlemen, people inevitably target the youth with revolution propaganda. The kids are still to young to realize you can't get to utopia from here, no matter how many people you kill or how much you are willing to sacrifice. The previous revolutionaries didn't have the good grace to teach us the error of their ways; many of them still think they were right or at least want kudos for being so passionate. So its up to you to learn, to teach, to keep your family safe. It's too tempting for the revolution addict to think that maybe, if they try a little harder, get the ideology a little purer, kill a few more people, wear yet another funny hat... ...they will realize their vision of utopia.
