Allow me to share a fairly off-topic but tangentially connected story.

I was a kid. I'd just learned about Figment the Dragon, and thought he was pretty cool. I'd somehow gotten a particular pin that, I think, was just his head. It wasn't the one I wanted; I wanted a full-body one. (Unless it was the other way around; I forget.) I just liked the other one better. The adults around me discouraged me from exchanging the one I had because it was rare and more valuable. I did not care about this at all; I just wanted the one I liked better. Finally, at the last possible opportunity, I found someone who was willing and probably happy to trade with me and finally got the thing I wanted. I was not taken advantage of; the person I traded with very kindly made sure to explain things, I knew exactly what I was doing, and I did not care about the monetary value. Nonetheless, everyone was very upset that I'd done it. All the enjoyment was sucked right out of it. {= /

For the record, my family was mostly very supportive of me. This incident sticks out in my memory precisely because of how weird it was. It's not like anybody was a serious collector of Disney pins or anything, either.

Moral of the story: They're just bits of metal and lacquer. They're for fun. Chill out, people.

...unless our theme park was part of either Universal theme park.

That sounds plausible, given that the long of the premise I came up with behind the theme park was that this was an alternate of World One in which criticism is treated much less like the proverbial haters who are going to hate and more like a necessary part of growing as a writer/artist/person. Then we wouldn't have to be so hidden, and then we'd get famous, and then people would ask for movie rights, and I think I might be fantasizing again, oh no.

Maybe it could be incorporated into either a shop/restaurant or the line for a ride, because most theme-park-goers, being the way they are, would skip over it otherwise.

It would be so popular and people would love it. I would love it. Enough said.

The Aviator rollercoaster seems a bit problematic, since in order to have the tall drop, it couldn't be indoors, but make it an outdoor ride and you're pretty limited in terms of any story you can tell. Any idea how to solve this conundrum?

For the kids... I don't see any kids' section in this theme park, because the subject of bad fanfiction is pretty nuanced and I would hate to kids glomming on to a super-simplified but wholly wrong version of it that they came up with in their little brains. There's a reason we only allow folks 13 and up on the Board. But then again, there could be a Nursery-themed section, with a focus on the PPC as a universe and little to no mention of Mary Sues, let alone killing them. Or we could, purely for the purpose of the park, come up with some "PPC Jr." sub-universe that presents simple, non-aggressive writing advice for children.

*hides face*

I really love the Adopt-A-Mini idea, though! Would special variants also include povs?

Of course, there would be a Rudi's Pub and a Cafeteria for food courts at the theme park...

For another ride, what about the Sue Safari? It'd be like that Men in Black ride where you get into a vehicle and you race past aliens shooting at them, except this time you're taking out Sue targets. Instead of a big red button at the end saying "Do Not Push", you have the option blow up a CAD for a bonus round of points.
