Is Hell Fest based on a true story?

Horror parks are known to bring thrilling and scary adventures and situations in a safe environment. While the visuals to a guest in the park may be scary, he experiences the same in an environment that is ultimately safe. The idea of Hell Fest, however, is about the experiences being real in nature, which are not pre-made for the guests. This idea seemed to have fascinated many fans of the film, but there may be questions among some of them regarding the existence of such a park in real life.
