Popular Post emilylime Posted June 21, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Let's dicuss a Brandon Sanderson-themed amusement park. owo NOTE: I haven't really read many non-Cosmere works so I didn't include those, but this park would definitely include non-Cosmere stuff. I'm just not able to come up with any :/ Nor was I able to come up with a better name than "Brandon Sanderland". Also, I haven't read Warbreaker or Elantris in a while, so I was kind of ill-equipped to come up with theme park ideas for those heh. I sorted the ideas by series. EDIT: I do give credit to my cousin for some of these ideas, though most of them are mine. We talked for a good half hour about this SA -Right as you enter the park, there sits on a stool a Wit/Hoid lookalike who quips at everyone as they walk past -Herdazian food stalls, selling chouta and the like -Horneater food stalls as well (they're not REAL shells...) -A Windrunner-inspired rollercoaster -Choreographed Shard duels -Buy infused spheres as souvenirs -A facepainter that specializes in the Bridge Four forehead tattoos -The Barracks: a cozy outdoor restaurant that sells only Rock's stew -A Highstorm simulator -Maybe some 'ardents' walking around -rare: you might find a Worldsinger that can tell you about various Roshar cultures (info that's not in the books- but that isn't important enough to be a spoiler, so Brandon would be willing to make them privy to it and let them tell the theme park guests) -Tien's Rock Shop: they sell geodes, crystals, normal rocks, little fossils, whatever. In honor of Tien. (cries for eternity) -EDIT: THEY SELL STICKS IN THE GIFT SHOP MB -The Mistborn section is open a couple hours into the night, and they have fog machines to mimic the Mist (in addition, they play noises over the PA that mimic both passing Mistwraiths and Mistborns) -A large bookstore, in which, if you're lucky, you can find Elend reading (if you approach him, the most you can get out of him is book recommendations. they're all philosophy books.) or Brandon Sanderson himself! -Wayne's Hatterie -There's a ride kind of like the Tower of Terror, but it's based on ironpulling/steelpushing -OH also food stalls that sell baywraps -a haunted house. Not sure what would be in it, but the MB section is the right place to have it because there's some eerie stuff in that series -maybe a Kelsier actor walking around laughing and such. ^^I'm not sure about this one. Might make people cry -MISTBORN, the ROLLERCOASTER. a very up&down rollercoaster that takes place in a dark building fiilled with Mist so you can't see where you're going. c: -A restaurant-inn-combo themed after Club's shop/the crew's hideout. Complete with chalkboards -Luthadel balls, complete with Elend's reading nook, which he usually occupies and is sometimes accompanied by Vin herself!! WB -The T'Telir section is bursting with color n stuff -Stay at a hotel where they treat you like a Returned for the duration of your stay (minus the feeding on Breath and petitioning, of course. haha.) -^This would include getting your very own Returned name -A storyteller. (Hoid) Elantris -The gift shops sell mock Seons -Get an Aon based name maybe? -Street artist who sketches you as an Elantrian (uh, the healthy kind) -ELANTRIS, the ride: a tour of the city (not the whole city- kind of structured like the Small World ride in Disney World. but without any obnoxious singing) Other? -there would be various Hoids throughout the park- some hidden, some not. Some insult you, some tell you witty stories, some perform music, all may disappear without explanation -"Magic" shows where the magician simulates various Brandon magic systems Edited June 21, 2015 by Lady Eowyn 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireSlayer Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) ...*jaw drops* That. Is. Storming. PERFECTION. Hoid, ELEND, spheres, Worldsingers, seons, YAAAS. Reckoners: -definitely some sort of water ride to simulate David's use of the whatchamacallit (sparks I need to reread that) -maze of tunnels maybe? like tensor-made? -souvenirs would be cool toy guns and black gloves that vibrate and other things -food would be like the party in Babilar -simulation: escaping through the steel streets of Newcago on a really cool black motorcycle -actors: at least Cody please Cody. xD -some sort of game having to do with making the worst and yet best simile/metaphor *shrugs* Idk. BUT I WOULD SO GO TO THIS LIKE FORGET COLLEGE PEOPLE. Edited June 21, 2015 by FireSlayer 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistrunner Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 My first thought... AUGH!!! because death. Lots of people dying. But these ideas are amazing. I will go to this. I agree with FireSlayer- who cares about college savings. Let's build this now. As for the Rithmatist section, we need Asian-European food stalls. And the gift shop would have traceable Rithmatic circles. They would have simulated Rithmatist duels (some sort of touch screen thing, with the "chalk" being a stylus?) and Academy classes with Prof. Fitch. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljósmóður Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I don't even care get that I get sick on roller-coasters - and waltzers ... and, actually, anything that moves. I still want this so much. My ideas: SA: The Bridge Four obstacle course. Take your bridge across chasms, collect some salvage, dodge Parshendi arrows. Successful completion is rewarded with a bowl of Horneater stew. The Navani "fabrial" ride. Get raised high in the air in a giant, floating fabrial (and possibly dropped from high altitude just for, y'know, fun! ) Alcatraz: A sandpit! For the younger Sanderfans or the small people belonging to Sanderfans. A shooting range. Try out Sing's ancient weapons. Have your photo taken with well-spoken, literate dinosaurs and their books. Rithmatist: An ice-cream parlour! An Arts and Crafts station. Draw your own chalklings. Warbreaker: A game of Tarachin, scaled down for non-Returned guests. A maze - make your way through underground tunnels and find the Lifeless army at the centre. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwloose Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 More stuff for the Mistborn section: A maze/ potholing course based on the Pits of Hathsin (with foam/ rubber crystals) or alternatively panning for Atium. As a haunted house type thing: A tour of the the Iron Ministry and The Lord Rulers palace, visiting the Inquistor creation areas and Ruins prison. Who knows, visitors may even get a couple of spikes as a souvenir. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 At the Reckoners entrance, can we have approximately four dozen signs reminding guests that it is not, and will never be, Cosmere? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 At the Reckoners entrance, can we have approximately four dozen signs reminding guests that it is not, and will never be, Cosmere? I vote it be a guy dressed like Steelheart who lifts them up by the collar, leans into their faces, and informs them of this fact in the harshest, most intimidating voice he can muster. They can then be reminded of this fact by actors portraying Fortuity, Nightwielder, Regalia, and Obliteration for the rest of their trip. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mckeedee123 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 -Whitespine petting zoo. Maybe minimum-wage workers who are paid to dress in embarrassing Whitespine costumes? Bottom line is: they're supposed eat any kids who get too close, to warn them about the dangers of Whitespine attacks. -Skaa: The Ride! Experience Scadrial through the lives of its most downtrodden inhabitants! Work the fields! Get beaten by taskmasters! Eat genuine, watered-down farlet weed soup! -Nightblood arcade game. Wield the sword and destroy evil, however you perceive it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirce Luckwielder Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I think Sanderland is the perfect name for this place! Here are some of my ideas: A traincar restraunt from Alloy of Law that looks legit and lets you see the park scenically with a good dining experience. A massive range where you can play laser tag or something Wild West/Mistborn style. Rooms where you are given clues and a mystery and the way you get out is by solving them. These would be Sanderson themed. A traveling band of Parshendi who sing to cool rhythms all day. Cosplay. Mock plateau battles and stuff. Mistborn Adventure Game tournaments. They could sell Seons at night, which are balloons with glow sticks inside them. A training range from Stormlight Archive where you can get wooden Shardblades and protective gear Shardplate and try to duel against instructors and ofher players. A Shadesmar ball pit. Luthadel Balls would be awesome. The best fireworks Hallandren has to offer. If it is built in a rainy climate place the ponchos could be mistcloaks. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljósmóður Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 The Theory Tent: With regular shows at 10, 12, 2 & 4, featuring different Sharders expounding their favourite espoused theories. Guests entering the tent get popcorn ('cos why not, really!?) and a giant inflatable thumb which they can raise to give upvotes to an appealing theory. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaieldell Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I picture every section having its own Hoid. When someone asks why the same guy is in every section, let the mists pour out behind you and lightning flashes as you say omniously: "Hoid is everywhere." 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High prince of geeks Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 They already have a Harry Potter theme park, why not Sanderland. My personal ideas - The Hoids should have specific alleyways and other dead ends with a secret entrance to underground cave system so that they can literally appear out of nowhere - Sharders should get a slight discount related to there reputation level -Visitors should get prizes related to the part of the park there in if they out wit Hoid Shallen or other super witty charecters. Same with reckoners in Newcago -The Shardpool in Elantris should be a relaxation spa. - Upon entering the park you are given a card that you scan to get into different parts of the park. When it is scanned a small piece of paper is printed out that gives you a name and rank (such as ahn nahn, scaa or noble) for that area 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the winter system Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Secret 17th Shard hide out! Actually, Secret Hideouts for all the secret organizations (Diagramists, Skybreakers, Ghostbloods, ect...) If you find one, you get free points in the gift shop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilylime Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 oh, and how about a "who can come up with a metaphor worse than david's" contest? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) oh, and how about a "who can come up with a metaphor worse than david's" contest?Well, I recently saw a commercial that said summer "treats the world the way a starving gorilla treats a banana buffet," so I think that guy would be a few steps ahead. Could there also be a game called "Who Wants to Date an Epic?" The answer would obviously (almost) always be "Not me," but the results would tell contestants how long they'd survive a serious relationship with an Epic significant other. Edit: And if someone's results said they'd be the Epic in that relationship, I vote they be given chocolate and a coupon for free therapy.
