	In 1973, following a successful campaign by local benefactors and spiritual leaders, '''Boy Land''' was constructed on the outskirts of Rotborough. The theme park featured animatronic recreations of Boy’s birth, themed rides such as the ''Hindleg Hurler'', and even a "touching" zoo showcasing other animals born with rare mutations.
