Chapter 217 New Project: Fantasy Town 1
Dear Visitors, the new attraction, the Fantasy Train, has opened. This is the park's sightseeing vehicle, and its tracks connect the entire park. You can board the train at the Visitor Center or walk to the Yunxiao Dragon Train Station.
Dear passengers, the destination of the Fantasy Train is "Fantasy Land." Currently, there are limited stops in Fantasy Land, and each passenger is limited to one stop per day. Please read the rules and tour map carefully after boarding the train, and plan your visit in advance...
Dear visitors, the ticket price for the Fantasy Land is 50 yuan. Please scan the park app's QR code for verification upon boarding. Special groups please use the designated lanes... Visitors ranked 5,000 and above on the Merit List will receive a 20% discount, while children under five and those with special needs can purchase half-price tickets... Snacks and drinks on board are all from the Dwarf Elf Food Factory, and souvenirs sold at points along the way are from Tree Spirit...
On April 8, the couple Lu Siqi and Zhang Le'en bought their tickets and entered the park early.
"We are so lucky! We can always get the date we want." said Lu Siqi.
Zhang Le'en also lamented, "Yeah, everyone says weekend tickets are more scarce than usual, but we always manage to get one. I don't know why we're so lucky."
Lu Siqi held his chin in his hand and asked, "Could it be that because we held our wedding in Paradise before, there's a metaphysical bonus?"
Passersby, having heard them say it was easy to get tickets, assumed they were just being sleazy. A normal weekend would be fine, but today, with a new attraction opening, it was packed! When they heard they were the newlyweds at the wedding, they all turned to look.
"It's really them! They are really lucky!"
"Yes, when the media reported it, they all said it was a one-of-a-kind wedding of the century!"
"I didn't know about the paradise at the time. I was drawn in by the live broadcast of the wedding. A ground dragon was pulling the wedding car across the clouds, with tree spirits and elves leading the way, and a giant bird carrying flowers in its beak offering blessings... It was so romantic! I was completely blown away and thought the paradise would become a wedding destination!"
"Hahaha, it's said that after that wedding, there were calls every day from people wanting to hold weddings in the park, but few were accepted."
"Why? I think it's great to hold a wedding in the park. We can treat it as a show, it's so lively."
"I don't know. Maybe the director is unhappy that there's no monster-killing part in the wedding!"
"So they were incredibly lucky to be able to hold their wedding at the park, just when the park needed publicity."
Lu Siqi and Zhang Le'en were completely oblivious to the envy of these passersby. After all, there were too many people rushing to visit the new projects today, and the gate of the park had never been expanded. It was still the same as when it first opened. With so many tourists, it was shoulder to shoulder, making it very crowded. There were also many different noises, and it was impossible to hear what others were saying from a distance.
Fortunately, the park’s security work is very good. Even though it is full of heads at a glance, no bad accidents have ever happened.
At this time, not only the overhead broadcast, but also the surrounding staff have been guiding tourists in the right direction. In addition, most people come for the new project and have no mood to stay where they are, so the influx of people is very optimistic.
"The park's main entrance will probably be expanded in the future!"
"Of course! There's only a small open space at the main entrance, facing the deserted park. As more and more people come in, they'll definitely need to be diverted and controlled."
"I just heard from the staff that a new gate will be opened at the visitor center in the future. Those who want to take the train can enter from there, and the pressure on this gate will be reduced."
Lu Siqi and Zhang Le'en came to the visitor center hand in hand. When they saw the train parked not far from the visitor center, their eyes lit up.
There used to be an empty lawn near the gate of the visitor center, and it was quite large. In the past, some long seats were placed here for tourists to rest. Now the lawn has been cleared, paved with stone bricks, and a small platform has been built. A staff member in a blue park uniform stands on the platform to maintain order. Unlike other staff members, this young man is tall and has long legs. He also wears a neat hat, exquisite epaulettes on his uniform, and white gloves on his hands. He really looks like a train stationmaster.
Looking past the stationmaster, one can see the train behind them, quietly resting on the tracks. Compared to real trains, this one is slender, its upper body painted sky blue and its lower half grass green. Surrounding the characters "Fantasy Train" are various cute park creatures: a dwarf, a red-eyed elf, a tree spirit, a ground dragon, a puffbird, and so on.
Lu Siqi was wondering where the new cute animal, the rolling sheep, had gone, when he discovered that the front of the car was round and black, with two round headlights acting as eyes, and a red mouth painted in the middle, looking very impressive.
"Ha! So cute, just like the toy cars in kindergarten!" Lu Siqi couldn't help but say.
The tourists around were all praising the train for being adorable, and the children were already shouting, wishing they could rush in right away.
Lu Siqi didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt as if the train had shaken a bit while the tourists were praising it. She ignored it and joined Zhang Le'en in the queue, while the overhead broadcast continued to play the precautions in a loop.
Dear passengers, the Fantasy Train has 18 carriages, each accommodating 60 passengers, with a maximum passenger capacity of 1,080 per trip. It runs every hour. Please proceed to the ticket machine to scan your tickets if you are queuing...
The park never disappoints, so every time it opens, the tourists are very enthusiastic. Lu Siqi and Zhang Le'en felt that they had arrived early, but there was still a long queue of people in front of them.
Lu Siqi stood on tiptoe to peer around and discovered that the Fantasy Train moved forward carriage by carriage, stopping at the platform only after the previous one was full. Visitors couldn't choose their seats or carriages. However, according to the park's recent announcements and notices, the Fantasy Train was just a sightseeing vehicle; the real new attraction was the newly opened "Fantasy Land" behind the Sky Aquarium.
Therefore, no tourists were concerned about the seating arrangement. Everyone just honestly chose a seat by the window when they got on.
They waited in line for ten minutes until it was finally their turn. They quickly tapped their phone against the ticket machine, which beeped, "Congratulations, you're the last two passengers on this train."
Lu Siqi's cheeks flushed with excitement, and she made a "yeah" gesture to Zhang Le'en behind her.
The tourists in line behind them naturally heard the voice as well. Although a little disappointed, they didn't show much emotion and swiped their tickets on the ticket machine one by one. Although they didn't get on this trip, their hard work in the queue was not wasted. Now they had swiped their tickets and would be the first to board the bus in an hour.
The train stationmaster shouted on the platform: "Tourists who boarded the train first, please go to the last row. Don't fight. Everyone who gets on will have a seat... Tourist in the blue hat, there is no room on the train. Please come back in an hour."
The tourist refused to give up and said, "Well, I'm already here. I don't need a seat. I'll sit on the ground or even stand."
The stationmaster looked helpless, but he still firmly asked the unruly tourist to leave. There was also an internet celebrity who wanted to sneak up with a video and live broadcast equipment, but he was also discovered by the eagle-eyed stationmaster and asked to leave.
Seeing this, the other tourists around who were eager to go also dispersed and decided to go play other activities first and come back after an hour.
Lu Siqi and Zhang Le'en watched the excitement for a while, then lined up to enter the last carriage. In front of them was a young mother and daughter, and in front of them was a man in his twenties.
The boy was Xu Shengkai. When he boarded the train, he was so engrossed in the cartoons that he tripped and fell. Fortunately, he grabbed the railing inside the train in time to avoid falling. However, he discovered that the seemingly ordinary stainless steel railing was actually covered with many small raised dots. He couldn't help but praise it, "The park is really frugal. They even use these defective steel pipes."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mother and daughter who came in right after him looked at him twice. The little girl, who was not even as tall as his legs, said, "Mom, this brother is so stupid! This is obviously Braille, not a flaw!"
Xu Shengkai: ...
"Xiaoxiao, you're so rude." He Liqing hurriedly said to Xu Shengkai, "I'm sorry, I didn't teach my child well."
Xu Shengkai was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. My knowledge is too limited." After that, he quickly found a seat and sat down.
When Lu Siqi and Zhang Le'en finally arrived, the doors closed silently and the announcement blared, "Passengers, please hold on tight. The Fantasy Train is about to depart."
This kind of sightseeing bus in the park is definitely very different from the train. The windows are very large, allowing tourists in the car to clearly see the scenery outside. The speed is not very fast, and the starting and stopping are very gentle. Passengers do not need seat belts.
The announcement continued, "The Fantasy Train's tracks circle the entire park. Before entering Fantasy Land, it stops at Fantasy Ranch, Mischief City, and the Sky Dragon Train Terminal... You don't need to pay for tickets before entering Fantasy Land. Once the train enters Fantasy Land, the ticket fee will be automatically deducted from the park app... Next stop: Fantasy Ranch."
While the broadcast continued, the tourists in front of Lu Siqi let out a wow. Sitting in front of them were two young girls. It seemed that they were visiting the park for the first time. When they saw a big white bird turning into a handsome man in the air from afar through the large glass window, they couldn't help but excitedly took out their mobile phones to take pictures. And when they saw a beautiful ground dragon carrying tourists and running into the sky while spewing white clouds, they finally couldn't help but burst out of their throats with exclamations.
The other tourists laughed good-naturedly at this, and one even sighed, "Oh, we were also so naive when we first came to the park."
"Yeah, even though I've seen the video online before, how can what you see online be the same as what you see in real life? It must be really exciting to see it!"
It was originally quite a long way to walk from the park gate to the Fantasy Ranch, and there were a lot of tourists. Some small designs were also very eye-catching, which inevitably attracted your attention. It took more than half an hour to reach the Fantasy Ranch after stopping and walking. However, taking the Fantasy Train, you can arrive in less than five minutes.
The two girls finally couldn't resist the temptation of the fantasy ranch and got off the train when the doors opened.
The other people in the car were all experienced tourists. Although they also stared at the fantasy ranch outside the car window, they did not move their butts, waiting expectantly for the fantasy land.
