VW theme park

WOLFSBURG: Volkswagen AG is taking a leaf out of Walt Disney's book. It is getting into the theme and fun park business.

The German giant already attracts more than 100,000 people a year who tour its Wolfsburg factory. However, VW now plans to add a media center with the latest computer communications, education and entertainment technology.

The existing factory tour will be revamped to provide more entertainment and become more like the "tram tours" made famous at movie studios in the United States.
