BRUCE LEE - CHINA CONFIRMS BRUCE LEE THEME PARK

Chinese officials have confirmed plans to create a theme park inspired by martial arts legend BRUCE LEE which will feature a rollercoaster emitting the star's famous screeches. Lee shot to fame as a Kung Fu hero in a string of hit action movies including ENTER THE DRAGON, but died tragically in 1973, aged just 32. His howls and screams as he fought waves of on-screen enemies became a trademark. However, the actor's only surviving child, SHANNON LEE, who controls her father's legacy, is threatening to halt the plans. She vows to visit the proposed site "to find out what else they are dreaming up over there". The $18 million (GBP10 million) park will also feature gardens and remote-controlled mannequin robots operated from within a giant statue of the actor.
