It appears as though Wu-Tang really is for the children, with the Staten Island collective potentially on track to receive their own theme park.
Have you ever been to theme parks like Disneyland or Dreamworld, only to think “this really doesn’t cater to the hip-hop fan within me”? Well, there’s good news, with plans for a Wu-Tang Clan theme park in South Korea reportedly in the works.
As MassLive reports, Wu-Tang Management Vice President Jimmy Kang is has recently entered negotiations about the potential idea of opening a theme park centred around the group at some point in the future.
While there’s no word as to whether or not the deal will occur, what the park would include, or even a potential opening date, it appears as though the group have faith in Kang, who explains they sought him out specifically based on his success as a booker for night clubs in Massachusetts.
They came and asked me to come up to New York City,” Kang explained. “I met up with RZA, Freedom, Devine, Mook and Krumbsnatcha. When they approached me, I thought it was unreal.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time that the Wu-Tang Clan have been in the news, with the group not only receiving a district in Staten Island named after them, but also releasing new music as part of a new documentary.
More recently though, the band’s de facto leader, the RZA, expressed his desire to head out on the road with a recently-reunited Rage Against The Machine to finish off a tour they began together back in 1997.

“If the stars line up right, I would love to see [them] – when they finish that Coachella run – to hook up with Wu-Tang and finish that tour we never finished,” he explained. “I would love to do that.
“I think right now, the way the times are, we need Rage Against The Machine. It’s perfect timing for them, perfect energy for them, and we think that the climate is right for Rage.
“Just like the timing is right for Wu-Tang. Let’s rock the world.”
