Well, it’s happened. The fine (fine?) folks over at our favorite parody account, @FakeThemePark, have come out with another book!
“You Must Be This Tall To Exit The Park” contains even more zaniness at the world’s most unusual theme park. When it comes to theme park satire, nothing is safe from @FakeThemePark. Along with classic posts from their Twitter and Facebook accounts, this new book includes exclusive material, such as the park’s Cast Member orientation film, a foreword by Princess Rainbow, and an interview with legendary park founder Murph Gantly. A must-read for any Disneyphile, theme park junkie, movie studio buff, or coaster lover.
“You Must be This Tall To Exit The Park” sells for $20 paperback and $5 on Kindle. You can find it on Amazon at the following link: amazon.com/Must-This-Tall-Exit-Park/dp/0359966543
We were lucky (lucky?) to get an EXCLUSIVE interview with none other than park icon, Jimmy Jaguar! We asked him his thoughts on the new book as well as other goings-on.
MiceChat: Have you read the new book? What was your favorite part?
Jimmy Jaguar: I thought the book was fine and dandy! It sure was fun to see my name in print three times! And Princess Snowflake’s name nine times and Captain Lightning’s name 11 times and Princess Rainbow’s name 27 times! After all, “a little can be a lot” — just like I sing in my new song that no one is buying!
MC: What is your favorite part of working at the park every day? Any fun guest stories you’d like to share?
JJ: Working in the park is super-stupendous! I make kids laugh, cry, shriek, scream, and vomit on me! And those are just the little kids! Bigger kids knock me over and steal my tail! Every day! Every single day! And that’s just fine and dandy!
One time, a little girl was just crying and crying. I saw her. I bent down and held her hand. A few seconds later, she stopped! Her tears turned into a big smile. It was a magical moment that warmed my heart and made all the stresses and struggles seem worthwhile.
She smiled. And she leaned over and whispered in my ear, “Looking at you, I realized how much worse my life could be.”
MC: We heard a rumor about you and Princess Cupcake. Care to comment?
JJ: Princess Cupcake is my friendly funny female friend! We love to hang out together and goof off! She teaches me how to bake, and I teach her how to dance the Jimmy Jig! It’s just fine and dandy. So those silly rumors are all wrong. We’re just friends, buddies, chums, master and slave, pals, and comrades!
MC: What do you feel is Jimmy Jaguar’s greatest accomplishment/career highlight?
JJ: Gosh, that’s a tough one! I have so much to be thankful for! Being the world’s most recognizable anthropomorphic South American jungle feline sure is fine and dandy! And starring in twelve movies, only three of which have been banned and all existing copies destroyed! And when someone calls something a “Jimmy Jaguar operation” you know it’s “trivial, amateurish, wasteful, harmful, barbaric, illegal, and genocidal”!
Plus, I got to be Grand Marshal of the Rose Parade until I was fired, and host of the Kennedy Center Honors until I was fired, and Secretary of the Treasury until I was fired and indicted!
But the best thing that ever happened to me is Jenny Jaguar, of course! We go on fun, romantic dates whenever Princess Cupcake is out of town!
MC: Baby Yoda – thoughts?
JJ: Cute, but not as cute as Baby Jimmy!
