Amusement Park: Final

Image
Theme Park Pitch Guests at Mermaid Cove are sailors whose ship has sunk. They must explore the park and try to find their way back home. The park is entered through The Shipwreck. The Shipwreck is a motion-based dark ride which utilizes projections and animation to simulate a shipwreck. Almost all of the guests enter through the ride. If the opt out, they can enter the park through the omnimover version of the park. This attraction is filled with similar projects and animation as the motion-based version of the ride, but much more mild. The other rides in the park center around trying to get back home. Many of the rides are animal themed. Like the Bobbing Dolphins, which is a coaster made of a series of speed runs. The dips are underwater and the high points are above. The Jumping Jellyfish is a hexentanz ride above air. At the center, there is a giant jellyfish and the carts are its stingers. Shops have different sea themed clothes, toys, jewelry, and treats. Much of the je

Amusement Park: Mermaid Cove

Mermaid Cove is an underwater themed park. The premise of the park is that the guests are sailors whose ship has sunk. They must explore the park and try to find their way back home. The park sits on top of where a lake and river meet. The main power source is tyson turbine. For most of the food in the park restaurants, it uses the river as a fishing source. There is also a garden near the river for additional food. The main inhabitants of the park are mermaids. The park tries to hire people of different races and genders, so it’s very diverse. They want the feeling that you are in a place where people from all over the world come to live. The park also encourages employees to speak in other languages, not just to the guests but with each other. While the park wants guests to feel immersed, as if they are actually underwater, it also wants to follow ethical practices. Because of this, they do not keep animals like dolphins, seals, or whales in the park. It also keeps smalle

Lapane: Power

Power The High Hydro Priest has the most power in the Desert. He is in charge of writing and enforcing the law. He is the one who carries out execution. The elders also have power in the society. Since elders are less suited to physical work, their job is to communicate with the Center. They are expected to communicate the truth and things agreed upon by the people, but their conversations go unmonitored. So, there is no punishment for improperly communicating. All adults have equal say. Everything is equal among them. They do, however, have power over the children. Children and adolescents have very little power in society. Once the adolescents reach adulthood, they gain a say in society. Adolescents reach adulthood after their trial, usually conducted when they are twelve or thirteen. Adults are responsible for preparing children for their trial. They also share opinions on rather they think the adolescents are ready to move on. But, ultimately the decision is up to the Hig

Lapane: Crime

In the Desert of Lapane, crime is judged by the High Hydro Priest. The Hydro Priest spreads the word of water, what the people of the Desert worship. Because there is so little water, it has become so important to their society it evolved into a religion. The highest crime that can be committed is disrespecting the water. Spitting in, spilling, or sneezing in the supply is punishable by death. After they are executed, their blood is spread among citizens as a reminder of what happens when you break the laws. Attempting to reproduce without prior approval is also high on the list of punishable offenses. Desert citizens must ask for authorization to reproduce. This helps keep the population down and resources less scarce. If caught breaking this rule, their genitals will be mutilated in order to stop further instances. Stealing and murder are held to the same severity. Punishment could range from loss of resource privilege for a week to exile, but never execution. If citizens s

Lapane Study: Genderless Society

Lapane is a tidally locked planet. Because of this, there is a strip of comfortably habitable land. On the edges are barely habitable lands from the Desert to the Tundra. Due to the overpopulation on Earth, some humans expanded out to Lapane. Their population stayed within the comfortably habitable part of the planet. That was thousands of years ago. Facing the same problem of overpopulation, people had to pay to stay in the habitable part, the Center. Those that couldn’t afford to stay were sent to the edges, the Tundra, which was extremely cold, and the Desert, which was extremely hot. Both are barely habitable. Those in the Desert come in bands and tribes. They are foragers, as much as they can be. The Desert provides little that can be eaten. They drink cactus juice, Ponilon (a creature similar to an armadillo) meat, and bugs. They are also provided canned meals from the Center. The first inhabitants of the desert had very slurred speech from the heatstroke. They based down

Planet

Image
In the distant future, Earthlings spread out far beyond the Milky Way in search for planets they can live on. They spread between different planets and settle on a few that are suitable for life. Nuoti is on of these.  Nuoti is a large planet with two others locked into its orbit. Lapane, the largest of the two, is tidally locked to Nuoti. Because Lapane does not turn, the half that faces the sun is a desert and the face that doesn't is tundra. The desert brings heat to make water boil, constant hurricanes, and a never ending day. The tundra is eternally dark and is cold enough to freeze man's blood. In between where the two meet is a small strip of habitable land. This was enough.  But thousands of years later, because of over population, humanity has had to spread outwards. Those who have adapted are able to live on the outskirts on the tundra or the desert. In the desert and the tundra, man is not the top of the food chain.  In the tundra, large blubbery beasts f
