Forget Disneyland, this underground theme park in Transylvania is way cooler

If you have the urge to play mini-golf, paddle around a subterranean lake, go bowling and ride a Ferris wheel, this wonderland in Romania will keep you busy.

Called, Salina Turda, the defunct salt mine is located deep underground the Transylvanian countryside. Visitors enter the submerged theme park via an elevator built into centuries-old vertical shafts that used to carry miners, and are slowly transported 400 feet into the ground. It's open year-round, and aside form the above mentioned attractions, you'll also find an amphitheater, ping pong tables, basketball courts, a carousel, a spa, and a swimming pool. If you're looking for a totally unique experience, then this could be it.

Organ donor signature campaign by Y&R New York

In general, people don't like seeing ads, but sometimes, when companies and ad firms go out of their way to come up with creative, inspirational and clever ways to heighten awareness for their campaigns, ads can be pretty amazing. Take, for example, these posters Y&R developed for Long Live New York . They're simple, yet brilliant, and they appeal to their target audience's emotions. They're now in NYC subways to educate commuters about the noble act of organ donation. [h/t: The Inspiration Room ]

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:
