Banksy's Dismaland

Toby Melville/Reuters

Dismaland is the brainchild of Banksy, the world's most elusive street artist.

Of all the world's dodgy amusement parks, "Dismaland" might be the best.

Don't bring the kids, though. With Cinderella's corpse (coach crash) and an elderly woman being devoured by birds, it's not exactly family friendly.

The "bemusement park," which opened Thursday, is described by its mysterious street artist creator, Banksy, as "a festival of art, amusements, and entry-level anarchism."

Dismaland is located in the English town of Weston-super-mare in a disused swimming facility.

According to the park's droll website, legal representatives of the Walt Disney Corporation are strictly prohibited from entering.

The photos below, taken by Toby Melville for Reuters, show the grim site in all its dystopic, grisly glory.
