China plans a Bruce Lee martial-arts themed park complete with a rollercoaster that will make his signature screams and grunts.

 

 

The Sunday Times of London reports the park will be patrolled by Bruce Lee "mannequin robots," radio-controlled from inside a giant statue of the late film star.

 

The theme park will be built at Shunde, a town of canals and bamboo gardens northwest of Hong Kong, the bucolic area that Lee's grandfather left in the late 19th century to begin a new life in the US.

 

Lee died suddenly of cerebral edema a month before Enter the Dragon opened in 1973 at 32. He was buried in Seattle.
