Remember how excited you were during The Hunger Games that you gripped your mom's hand so hard and you whispered "Mom, I know these children are killing each other in a Dystopian nightmare, but I wish we lived inside The Hunger Games forever!" Well now you can! Kind of! From CheapoAir (via Movieline):
Visit the DuPont State Recreational Forest (also known as the arena in the movie) where you can find a dramatic landscape of waterfalls, hideaway lakes, streams and pines, as well as the spot where Peeta camouflaged himself in the movie, and traces of the pyrotechnics from the fireball sequence.
Next on your itinerary you can make a night out of Charlotte’s NoDa neighborhood which is home to artsy galleries, bars and restaurants, as well as the spots where the Hunger Games cast spent their nights out. Barnardsville also hosts a Navitat Canopy Tour, which is home to one of the many ziplines in Western North Carolina. Close by this stop, pre-game scenes with Katniss and Gale were filmed in Pisgah National Forest.
So dope. Go with your whole family! "This is where the one child died at the hands of a child, and this is where the other child died at the hands of a child. Who's hungry for a snack? Well there are no snacks unless you please the sponsors with a fake kiss. R.I.P!" Apparently there is also an outward bound style vacation package that teaches children wilderness survival skills? You know, for in case they are ever forced to SLAUGHTER EACH OTHER AS ENTERTAINMENT. Ask for it for you birthday because you might not have another birthday. You might be dead on TV somewhere!
We live in a cool world that makes sense and people are good at finding smart, reasonable ways to spend their money and this is just a fun craze don't even worry about it, everything's going great. #HermanCain.
