So using a gallery on imgur, I have detailed my park icon/entrance hub for the park using 30 or so reference graphics and descriptions on the bottom of each image.
500 years ago, some of the worlds greatest thinkers, philosophers, artists, and scientists from all over the world got together and decided that it was necessary to make a utopia. With kings and queens trying to rule the world, the group decided for their safety, they must operate in the shadows and decided to become a secret society called Innovatus. Year by year, membership grew with those who influenced, impacted, and changed culture/society being selected to join, researching and creating to share with later generations their plans, their works, their skills so they can make a more perfect world. Never once did the secret leak. Over time, they began to get worried their utopia would ever exist. After so many years of wars, so much heartache, and some much pain, they decided that it was indeed time to step up in creating a perfect world, full of amusement and fun, a world so fantastic so unique that you would never have a worry again. However they finally realized they couldn't make this utopia on Earth so they kept recruiting great people at the time after they made landmark innovation to build and expand.
Selecting a large amount of engineers and infiltrating space agencies around the world, they worked hard to create space travel to find a new home to reside. Once, the first rocket launch occurred, Innovatus decided it was their chance to move to a new world and start working double time. Using Galileo's old data hidden away from public eye, they discovered there was a planet suitable for life and just right to make as a new home, a new world, a utopia. They finally could implement their plan. Coordinating with members of the society in the US government and the Soviet leadership, they began conducting convert missions and the space race of 1960s as a guise to travel to create/populate another world suitable for life. On July 20, a spacecraft carrying 80 passengers set forth for their new home. In Dec 1969, they managed to make it to a planet so rip and perfect. The first settlers decided to call this fantastic world called Universa and things were good for a while.
The scientists started to get bored with the lack of supplies for experiments, the architects were tired of being limited to simple designs. Innovantus leadership knew they had to change how they were doing things.
With space travel taking a toll on most travelers and the time it took for materials to arrive, Innovatus realized they must make a faster way to travel. Coordinating with members back in the states, they began working hard on a plan. Using Newton's laws of physic as well as data from Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Albert Einstein, Madeleine L'Engle, and Hedy LLamar, they discovered there was a way to create a portal that took them back to Earth. What they didn't account for was this portal opening up to other worlds. One of Kind worlds never before seen by man. But also lands so dangerous and perfect, humankind may potentially get lost and never want to leave. On June 7th, 1990, the descendants and occupants of Universa had to make a choice. If they left the portals open, the perfect world they created would be destroyed due to the influences of the other worlds. They decided to close it. Over the 28 years, most people on Earth have forgotten about Universa. With all communications cut off, it was impossible to know it existed. That was until this week.
Yesterday, we received our first signal. The people of Universa realized that this world and the worlds the land opens to can be a reprise in a chaotic world we live in today. They hope it makes us be better by relaxing us, entertaining us, and inspiring us. Universa is divided into 4 sections: Eureka: city of the future, Ieri: Suburbs of Yesterday, Origin: The Beginning Ruins, and lastly the underwater city of Faoi Uisce.
Eureka is the main city floating high in the sky connected to Ieri and Origin. Huge and Small airships float about, railcars whizz by overhead, sweet smells of candy apples, popcorn, and the brightest lights of night envelope your senses. Inspired by Jules Verne, Leonardo Di Vinci, and a classic sense of Americana, this city is what the hubble lumb is all about. Technology is at it finest here where you will find the latest gadgets and gizmos to prepare you for when you visit other worlds. With interiors influenced by Old England, Victorian, Steampunk, and exotic design...this area is for the hippest of people. In the center of town you will find the observatory...home to the 4 portals to other worlds and elevator leading to the sub where you can explore Faoi Uisce.
Ieri was the city before Eureka....now converted in a huge playground for youth. Inspired by art and using recycled materials, they made an art installion so large and unique where you climb and play and grow whilst appreciating culture at the same time. Air ships and bikes fly around but mainly more rudimentary designs and perfect for children and for the timid to enjoy. The smell of BBQ lingers here.
Origin, the beginning ruins are where the first settlers lived and settled. Using a fusion of African and Asian design, they created a nature based utopia for relaxing and recharging after a long day....but beware of the animals that may live in the gardens. Smells of nature and flowers invigorate the senses here.
Lastly for major areas within the world is Faoi Uisce, the underwater city. Innovatus wanted to see if there was a way human life could sustain living under water as living underwater would be a key to avoid the struggles of storms, earthquakes, droughts, etc as they would not be affected by it. They were successful and created the city of Faoi Uisce, remiscent of Atlantis with people being able to breathe underwater after drinking a sweet elixir. However for us tourists, the elixir had an intoxicating effect and caused us to instantly get black out drunk...so in order to open the world up for tourist, they created elaborate underwater walkways with oxygen pumping through so we can survive as well as subs to take us on a tour of their city. Pasta and elaborate drinks are here.
The observatory is the key to everything. The Observatory holds the portal. Walk through the glassed covered walkway through the main doors. Within the courtyard with a great pond and fountain are stairs leading upstairs to the observatory and downstairs to the port for the ships that lead to Faoi Uisce. Up in the observatory you can see all the worlds and Earth which you came from. There are 4 portals leading to lands here as well.
