Wakinyan Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 An Amusement park that caters to Novas. I am suprised no one has come up with this yet. Yes I am looking at you Sakurako. I mean I am sure the Amp room is nice and all but I want a 2000 foot water slide. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Oh my god! You are so right! That would rock. If I make it big I promise I'll make Zedland and you'll be the first through the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakurako Hino Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 A few footnotes:1: I doubt building a park around a single nova personality would work.2: The park should be designed around a resort idea with things that would appeal to certain commonalities among novas. (Flight, etc...)3: Since most attractions could harm or kill a Human, there may have to be a NO HUMANS policy.4: A hotel will need to be built near the resort site.5: Safety considerations should be considered. Namely for any Human workers, or to property. Then for Novas themselves who are more fragile than other Novas.After looking this list over, I think I got a starting inspiration.One thing though: NO MASCOTS, AND NO CARTOON CHARACTERS!!! (No offense to Zed.)Well... since it will be my park it will need to have a bold product identity... Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jager Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Endeavor, no cartoons means no anime, either.Some basics to consider:-Tropical Island (isolate the danger)-Stock it with Dinosaurs (I just love those guys)-Cartoon characters are a must. This place should be family friendly, after all.-Have a doozie of a hospital. The rides may very well cripple the users, after all.-One section of the island should be constructed with non-Euclidean Geometry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Hino Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 No Dinosaurs, S&T would pwn me.But you're right... No 'toons... no Anime.But, like I said, I have to give the project a strong product identity. I have thought of using a futuristic motif, but that's overdone.Although, it would make things easier to fabricate, strangely enough.But yes, a tropical island would be totally awesome. ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakurako Hino Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I'm sorry Zed, but I'm not going to base a theme of a resort around an existing or previously existing Nova. 1: There's legal considerations. 2: I would have several Terat Zealots that'd love to take the project down because I'm exploiting a Nova's identity.I'm shooting more for a Resort with Entertainment taht Novas can go for, with a Product Identity that is pleasing to the eye, and apt to sell.I was thinking of possibly plumbing you for some ideas though for some lighthearted ideas.I'm sure the young Novas would get a kick out of having a wing of the Island inspired from your mind.Unless you can fast track some licencing agreements so that I can have a Zed themed attraction on the Island.(BTW, after I mentioned the Idea, several corporations lofted trial baloons to me for offers. Especially after you mentioned you'd help the project, Zed.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a park specifically designed for novas, what would the Teragen have to complain about? Seems they'd be all for an exclusive place to have fun. But I'm not a Teragen, so I suppose there might be some point I'm not seeing. Since I don't actually have the kinda dough to create my own park yet, I'll be glad to help you with yours.

Sakurako Hino Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 No problem. You'll have a section. Just plop some ideas down and I'll start planning out the island.By the way, I'm sacrificing alot to pull this off. Looks like I'll have to live on the resort project because I will be using MY island for it. That's right, I'm using my platform as the main "seed" that the rest of the resort will grow around.I will be sending the initial concepts to several interested corporations (I have secured Intellectual Property rights for the plan itself).Unfortuantely I have changed the location. I will be moving the Island south and east into the pacific, but still rather close to Japan. I wish to keep the Island under Japanese soverign control. They are the most receptive to plans like this. (I've sent requests for clearance for the project just now).But I will have to live here on the island as it's modified and added on as the resort project is completed.Besides, I didn't need this island anyways. It was so quiet, and lonely.I will throw one final party before the dust rises. ~.^ As per a request the kind Jager put forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Japan is a member of the Directive, Endeavor.

Wakinyan Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 I dunno the Dinosaur idea sounds pretty cool.

Well, I do know of a spot in international waters in the pacific that'd be perfect. Besides, my request to park where I was thinking was denied. So, I'm movin on to site B.Now to this Dinosaur issue. If you guys want them so bad, I could build remote controlled robotic ones. Very basic, no intelligence, there for looks. I don't want a Jurassic Park scenario on my island. I want strictly White, legit tech and attractions.I want people to come to relax, not to bust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essex Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 You might want to allow a Utopian consultant to advise you on the legalities of the various technological marvels you plan to unleash.

Wakinyan Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 Actually I was thinking more for something to wrestle and pounce on that isn't so fragile. I don't see Novas as the type to be running and screaming to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we wouldn't have to worry about Utopia, atleast.Quote:You might want to allow a Utopian consultant to advise you on the legalities of the various technological marvels you plan to unleash.Good idea, but how would it be sold to them? Since the place would limit/exclude baseline humanity, it might not go off to well with their PR folks.Presonally, my preference would be for something much more like a private club.

Sakurako Hino Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hmm. Private club? It would work better, and be less of a burden. Alot less questions.As for clearing with Utopia, I say again, I'm running this above board. I'm not unleashing anything that S&T has approved hundreds of times before.I just plan on parking My platform out around a certain spot in International waters in the mid pacific that I know is relatively weather quiet.Now, I do want to make this place fun, but the "amusement" part of the park won't be fully realized for a couple YEARS. Untill then, a resort approach should be taken, where rest, relaxation, and some recreation can be had.The initial concepts could take just a year or two to construct, with additions being new "barges" that can connect to the island later.And, let's drop the dinos. ~.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakurako Hino Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Actually, Codex, I plan on trying to put in things that would interest most Novas. Everything from a fully capable simulation suystem for CK's that can simulate the most popular generes of Fiction. I will also have several different things that will intrest everyone from an on-demand digital library, to air racing for the flying types. Of course there will also be many opportunities for relaxation. I will be analysing various hobby-sites to see what Novas are currently into for Hobbies and Interests.So, all I have to do now, is get things rolling on my end. All total, this project will never be complete. There will always be expansions and modifications based on the needs of the patrons.The only reason I do this is for the Nova community, because I feel we need someplace to cool our heels. ^o^Unfortunately version 1 of the resort won't be completely ready for 3 years. The hotel and some ammenities would be ready, but not much else.Unless I could get some Nova help to speed things up by a couple years. Please?Pretty Please?I'll give a free week's stay at the resort hotel after completion! ~.^*sigh* Who said I was too proud to beg is a LIAR! A LIAR I SAY!

Nightfall Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 You mentioned once that gravity-controllers could help in building? I will help, for food, board and ten thousand dollars. Week's stay is all very well, but it doesn't feed me now.Building is better than prostitution, I think.Deal sound good to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Hino Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I can easily do Food and Board. $10k? Actually I'll double that. But that'd be your total salary for a year. I figure with living near the site, and getting paid ammenities and food, that should cover anything extra.I do have TONS of space onboard the Hikari Maru I can use for nice, almost state-room quality living. You'll just have to take a small commute from the HMII to the island via flight or a seaworthy vehicle (which I will provide if necessary).Just let me know if there's any special needs. And that goes for EVERYONE who will get involved. (Like GFB's density issues (weight) or Totem and his... rather unique figure.)I'm starting to think this'll come together.

DigiGeist Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Irini, be sure to ask her what and how you will be doing your work.Probably the most likely scenario is that you'll be working with some baseline help.

Wakinyan Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 I am really glad that this idea I had seems to have been accepted positively by most on here. I know I haven't been around long but even if it is just a small idea like a theme park for us then I have made at least a small contribution. Now about that 2000 foot waterslide, make sure it's wide enough for my rump. A frictionless surface would be nice too since I like'em fast.

Essex Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hey Sakura, you should poll a bunch of the Amp Room/New Grounds crowd to see what would appeal to a wide range of Novas. I'm a Megamorph and there are few things I would find both appealing and relaxing.1. A hunting grounds. Hunting and killing your own food can be very satisfying on a primal level.2. a "tactile" experience. It's hard to describe for those who don't change shape, but one's sense of touch is a completely different experience when not in a "standard" form.3. A large section of the resort should be devoted to hose whith non-baseline physiology. Not only in attractions, but accomodations and other services.

That's why I wouldn't want to cause even more havoc by getting more spots changed.I wouldn't mind seeing a toxic waste site cleaned up, but I wouldn't want to see a rain forest turned into grasslands.And by the way, A biome is a type of environment. Like a Desert, or a Forest, so on and so forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
