Non OTU: Pleasure Planet
- Thread starter Chuck Anumia
- Start date
Or what about a grav-vehicle "sail-barge" that slowly crosses a very scenic land (or other more "exotic/unusual") region. Similar in concept to an ocean cruise, but differing in environment.
Check out the 5th Element movie for a variation of this.

You can do some searches on 40K Pleasure Planets as well. They might help you get some ideas although they will obviously need to be toned down.

Dream Park (novels and RPG)
-A kinda futuristic cosplay (non-sticky) amusement park where you can do/be almost anything (super-hero, warrior, explorer etc.) The cool thing is that the whole concept is explained as being possible through computer graphics, props and other more realistic things than just VR.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_Park
The Dream Park RPG (Cyberpunk 2020 supplement) has a lot of great information regarding the competition by Dream Park contestants and other neat stuff.

Teleoperation resorts are a neat idea also. Put an amusement park near something interesting or odd (volcano, dinosaurs, exploding star) and allow park residents to rent remote operated drones to get up close and personal with it.

Don't forget that the entire planet is unlikely to be rich people. The number of "little elves" needed to support the park and luxuries would be immense. Where do they live? Are they oppressed? Living in shacks... How does the administration keep you from seeing how they live? (Many resorts in the Dominican Republic have blackened windows on their airport buses since you have to drive through the destitute neighborhoods... no reason to upset the clientele!)

I like this also!The comedian Tim Allen once suggested two theme parks for guys, or rather, two sides to the same theme park. A sandbox for rich kids.
One is Construction World-- you get to operate heavy equipment- bulldozers, cranes, graders, and so on-- to build roads and dams and buildings.
The other is Destruction World-- you get to emplace explosives or use bulldozers and wreck roads and dams and bridges and buildings, likely the ones the last batch of builders just put up last week. Option: using tanks or other heavy weapons works, too.
Switch the two halves back and forth as needed.
While you're at it, how about a demolition derby track, too?
I could set up a 50+ KM circular tract where on one third is used by the construction crew as it goes about fixing war damage, a deconstruction crew is tearing down certain structure while leaving the rest intact and the rest is used by combatants as in a WWII/III Stalingrad/Paris/Berlin/Iraq/Afghanistan with house to house fighting.
Thanks!

Nicosia Access Cards
There is no place on the planet to use credit chips or foreign currency. All transactions are dealt with by the Nicosia Card from admission to the attractions, your hotel room and your meal service and transportation. Everyone who lands on the planet gets a high security Nicosia Card. The card is a short distance communicator, Debit/Credit card, room key, bio-functions monitor, GPS locator and a whole lot more. They are linked to you by your DNA so even if lost no one can use it but you and they are very easily replaced.
The cards are color coded according to the bearers’ status.
White with Black diagonal stripe = Security
White with Blue stripe on top = Staff
Yellow with Green stripe on top = Medical Staff
White with Gold Starburst = Executive Employee
Gold = Noble
Green with Gold diagonal stripe = $1 Million+ cardholder
Red = Children under 16
Blue = Guest staying 4 weeks
Blue with Red diagonal stripe = Guest staying one week
Does your costume have no place to hold a card? No Problem!
The cards are also available as fine accessories including, pins, earrings, pendants, bracelets, sunglasses, watches, rings and even stuffed animals for the kids. All have the chip imbedded in them and are identical in function to the cards.
All cards are deactivated at the Starport before your journey home and will increase in value over the years as patterns and styles are changed periodically. Collect them ALL!.
(I am sure I have not yet thought up other card holders and the colors of their cards so any help would be appreciated)
