No fun

I can't for the life of me imagine why this didn't really work out.

Britain's biggest theme park has called off the country's first "National Muslim Fun Day" because of lack of interest, the park said Wednesday.

Alton Towers in central England was to open on September 17 for Muslims -- with halal food, a strict dress code and prayer areas.

Music, gambling and alcohol were to be banned for the day and theme park rides such as "Ripsaw," "Corkscrew" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" all segregated by sex.

Because, really, nothing says "fun" like a ban on music, booze, and hanging out with members of the opposite sex. And the "strict dress code," well, that's just like the cherry on top--provided that the cherry is halal, that is. Good times, man. Good times.
