The biggest challenge for any skater who doesn’t live in frigid environs? Available ice sheets.
Japan’s
Space World theme park in Kitakyushu City attempted to create one for
its patrons, with a rather novel twist: Under the ice were 5,000 sea
creatures, frozen in place.
Fish.
Crabs. Many other aquatic friends, whose rigid carcasses made for
impressive designs on the ice. If the Canadian national hockey team can
freeze a loonie under the ice for good luck, we can’t imagine the good
fortune one would experience with 5,000 Japanese fish under their
skates.
Called
“Freezing Port,” it was billed as a one-of-a-kind attraction on the
park’s Facebook page, and included captions on the photos of the fish
that translated as “I am d… d… drowning, s … s… suffocating,” according to CNN International.
To
the surprise of absolutely no one outside of the absolute monsters that
run Japan’s Space World theme park, there was backlash. And, of course,
the backlash led to the park closing the rink on Sunday and apologizing
for its very existence.
