Angry Birds Land, the theme park that is entirely based upon Rovio's hit mobile game has officially opened its doors, according to Eurogamer.

ABL is part of Finland's Särkänniemi Adventure Park. The park's designers have managed to create 12 different rides in total, plus an adventure course, all built around "Angry Birds."

You also have food outlets, restrooms, and pretty much everything else you'd find in any amusement park. Which, again, is based entirely upon the hottest thing going on smartphones.

Here we have footage from a visitor, newly posted on YouTube:

Eurogamer also reports that there are demo stations to give the actual game a spin, along with an upcoming "Magic Place" that will allow guests to somehow upgrade their own virtual copies. Details behind this have yet to be shared.
