Sherlock Holmes theme park

        This is possibly the most fantastic, yet incredibly bizarre news Sherlockians could possibly have hoped for as reports have emerged that an actual Sherlock Holmes theme park is in the works with fans of the famous detective being able to play the the crime solver, cracking various puzzles along the way.

       But it's going to cost some mega mega bucks and by mega bucks we mean like £25 million for the park which will open in Portmouth – where author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle used to live.

       While no official dates have been announced for the fun fair, described as a “world class multimedia experience” will revolve around actual plots with characters including the super sleuth's trusted side kick Dr. Watson and arch enemy Moriaty.

       The park won't just include rides but also holograms of it's leading cast as fans will get the chance to explore dome of the stories’ most famous locations including, of course, Holmes' very own Baker Street.

       Sherlock Holmes has become one of the most iconic characters in British history since Conan Doyle's hero first came to prominence in a series of short stories way back when in 1887.

       Since then he has gone to be portrayed on screen by Basil Rathbone in the 1939 film series and most recently of course by Robert Downy Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch.

       Steve Pitt of the Portsmouth Cultural Partnership – the man behind the madness explained: "It would be very interactive and high quality. There are so many tie-ins around the legacy of Sherlock Holmes being ‘born’ in Portsmouth."

       Well, Steve will be the first in line if this all goes ahead! Fingers crossed guys!
