Funny News: Fans petition Disney for a 'LOST' attraction at Disneyworld

   A group of fans have taken "LOST"-related matters into their own hands...

In what has to be the funniest story that's come across our desk all week, the word's going around that fans of ABC's "LOST" are petitioning Disneyworld to create a "LOST" attraction for their theme park.  With the show set to enter its sixth-- and final-- season, apparently the thinking is that they'll strike while interest is at an all-time high.  Read on for the details, my gentle Examiner readers...

Yes, "LOST" isn't a comedy, but we still thought this was a pretty funny story:  fans of TV's "LOST" are petitioning Disney to create some "LOST"- based attractions at one of their theme parks.  Take it from the Comedy Examiner, that doesn't work. If it did, we woulda had an "According To Jim" ride years ago.

Here's what they're saying over at Yahoo! about the situation:

The wishful thinkers behind the petition are making it easy for Disney [which of course owns ABC]: As the OC Weekly points out, the organizers even suggest components to the ride, including ruins, a smoke monster, Jacob’s cabin, and a submarine ride. Clearly, a lot of thought has gone into this plea to let “Lost” live.

Over at the awesomely hilarious, snarky TV news site Warming Glow, they've created a mock-up of what a "Dharma Island" might look like, and the Comedy Examiner actually LOL'd when he saw it.  Here, take a peek for yourself:

So, the Comedy Examiner had to see what this petition looked like, and here's what we discovered upon tracking it down.  Feel free to go to the original page and sign it yourself, if you'd like (we're thinking this is a lost cause-- no pun intended-- but it might be worth it to you, especially if Disney ends up approving such an attraction.  You could then say you had a hand in making "LOST Island" a reality).  Here's what it says:

LOST is one of the best television series to ever be broadcast on television. Disney should give this awesome show it's due and create a LOST Island attraction at one of it's Disney theme parks. Just think of the locations that can be immortalized in a Disney location.

- The Frozen Donkey Wheel behind the Orchid Station testing chamber.
- The Swan station and Hatch ride
- A submarine ride to Palu Ferry.
- Dharmaville Barracks.
- Smoke monster
- Ruins
- Jacob's Cabin
- The Egyptian Statue and Jacob's Lair

Give us Die Hard LOST fans our Theme park ride!

What do you think, folks?  Funny idea?  Not so good idea?  Straight-up terrible idea?  Yeesh, you're pretty cynical, aren't you?  Sound off in the comments section below, folks: we wanna know what you think about this petition and the likelihood of a "LOST Island" coming to Disney's parks.  For the record, even though we think it's not gonna pan out, we'd visit it in a heartbeat.

Stay tuned for more on this as it develops, folks, as well as more shenanigans from the Comedy Examiner's Office.  We've got news, reviews, interviews, funny videos, recaps, and all manner of other shenanigans to keep you busy while you're supposedly being productive at work.  Why, just look at all the fun you've been missing by not being signed up already:
