Would I buy some huge house in the middle of nowhere, where Joe would be able to have his own full sized football pitch, complete with changing rooms to stop him bringing his muddy boots in the house? (grrrr). Would I take my family on an around the world cruise, taking in all my current dream destinations? (Iceland, New York, Hollywood and The Seychelles are on my current bucket wish list).

5 Movie-Themed Theme Park Attractions Around the World
There has always been somewhat of a correlation between theme parks and what appears on the big screen. It’s a natural bridge to cross, given the appeal of both leans heavily in favor of children. Think about it. The most famous theme park in the world is Disneyland, which aims to capture the imaginations of young children. That’s why so many other amusement parks follow the same pattern. Rides and roller coasters based around Hollywood blockbusters. The cynical among you will say that it’s just a marketing ploy. But isn’t there something to be said for bringing the big screen to life? The movies are one of life’s greatest escapes.…
