Theme Park: Vespira

This is my theme park that I asked to re write a couple of weeks ago.


Vespira

Immerse yourself in the land of Vespira, a wandering theme park in the shape of a flower that opens only during nighttime. The theme park is set in a fictional world based on our time’s 20tth century. In this world, a major world war exploded and lasted about 100 years it was named the Günisian and involved the vast majority of the world’s countries. Eventually, this war drastically divided the social statuses and left the common folk experiencing a devastating socio-economical crisis. During the last years of war, Captain Jean Fêbrê established the park with its main purpose to entertain, evoke hope, and the will to progress as a society.  With the help of a group of entertainers called the Red Lilies, Fêbrê and his crew entertain visitors almost like a gypsy crew or family.

The origins of Vespira and its owner are a mystery but it is said that the flower places itself in cities that recently faced adversity, if removed; the park will go onto the next city. The flower is often spotted in big open spaces, main squares, old ruins, gardens, etc.  With the purpose to narrow down people with 
 Humble hearts who can serve as base of a solid reconstruction of a nation.

The theme park is designed to look like a flower with six petals, each one containing an attraction or two attractions with a main one the middle.  Each petal is monitored by one of the members of the Red Lilies, who are in charge of entertaining visitors and monitoring different attractions / order in each petal.  The main attraction is the Mirage Stigma; a tower found in the middle of the park that contains two observation decks and a main observatory. It also functions as a radio that plays background music for the park.  At the bottom of the tower, some live performances are held twice per night, from dancing to acrobatics people gather to witness a show full of charm! Besides being in charge of the park, Fêbrê is in charge of the area where the Mirage Stigma is located. He controls the tower, the ambiance, and who is allowed to enter the observatory.
Fêbrê, also called  “Le sorcier“ is a man that has much charisma and is kind of a trickster. He takes interest in others who show a great passion for the arts and tries his best to recruit them to join his crew. He is dressed in a princely fashion with a cloak that has flowers and stars as patterns. He also carries with him a stick and points at everything with it.
The other rides are a carousel, a house of mirrors, a pirate ship, bumper cars, a rollercoaster called Le monster (the monster because it is made out of wood and can resist winter, rain, heat, etc), spinning tea cups, a Ferris Wheel, and the last one being a loop- o- plane.  Each of the attractions are monitored by the red Lilies: Anemone, Azelea, Magnolia, Jeanquille, Hibi, and Vio who all have flower names.

In between the minor roles, all the members of the crew are asked to entertain visitors euphorically almost Disney - like they serve as the main characters of the park therefore all eyes are on them.  The red lilies personalities vary. Jeanquille is childish and sweet; Azalea very vain and judgmental; Vio is ambitious and doesn’t take a no for an answer; Hibi is moody and quiet, Magnolia is restless and creative, and lastly, Anemone is the leader of the group, she is the most balanced and mature member in the crew. Each petal is decorated with the color it was assigned to each member. For example, Hibi’s cartier is blue, or has many decorations with blue color, she has blue Hibiscus in her zone at the park, etc.

The park also offers food and crafts to be sold, almost like a fair. It is colorful and full of flowers inside, with neon lights everywhere that makes the whole scenery magical. No wonder why Mr. Fêbrê gets his magician title, he is able to make everyone drop their jaws while being in here. The only downfall is that the park only stays in cities for three days, saying its goodbye with a firework show and disappearing the morning after, the park has no age limit, only some attractions do so because of safety regulations.






 This is how the flower opens during night time (Also the whole theme park is based on this sculpture) :
