Drake is capable of doing that kind of stuff, after all. However, don’t anticipate attractions like a strength test for the “Hotline Bling.” In reality, the rapper is bringing back to life a long-lost collection of rides created by famous artists like Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Salvador Dali.

Drake to open unrideable art theme parkThe Luna Luna collection was purchased by Drake’s entertainment business, DreamCrew, last year for an estimated $100 million after being kept in storage for 25 years.

DreamCrew’s Anthony Gonzales told the Los Angeles Times, “We knew we needed to be a driving force behind Luna Luna’s resurrection when it first caught our attention.”

In 1987, Austrian artist André Heller assembled the park for its first exhibition in Hamburg, Germany. After that, a San Diego showing was planned, but it was postponed, and the whole thing wоund up in storage in Texas until Drake and his firm intervened.

Regarding the project’s initial inspiration, Heller states, “I dreamt up Luna Luna with the determination that art should come in unconventional guises and be brought to those who might not ordinarily seek it out in more predictable settings.”

Although the precise opening date is still pending, it is expected to occur in the next weeks, with the park’s first reopening lasting through the spring. You will only be allowed to see the rides since, according to the organizers, the majority of them do not adhere to current safety regulations. So, don’t get too enthusiastic about giving them a spin.
