Chapter 1121: Opening of the Park

Although the Summit of the Century theme park has long stated on its official website that it officially opened at 12 noon, at 8 o'clock in the morning, visitors in the ticket gate area have already lined up and are waiting to enter. The passengers who are in the first queue come to line up at 3 o'clock in the morning. Many of them came by "flying", and as soon as the plane landed, they took a taxi directly to line up, and dragged their suitcases in their hands.

Most of the tourists are Chinese, but there are also some foreigners. One of the teams of girls with small thick legs and buckteeth looked like Dongying people, they were all hardcore supporters of Zhang Ran, who made a special trip from Dongying, flew to Lin'an in the morning, and then came over directly.

Among the blonde foreigners, a young man wearing the mask of Iron Man and excited like a child caught the attention of reporters. The reporter asked in the past to find out that the young man is a student of UCLA Film School and a die-hard fan of Iron Man, and he can be said to have memorized the story of Iron Man. After hearing that the World's Summit theme park has a special area for Avengers, and there is an Avengers headquarters in the special area, he rushed over and wanted to enter the world of the Avengers and interact with superheroes.

Outside the theme park, in addition to the guests waiting in line to enter the park, there are thousands of tourists who have not bought tickets, as well as Lin'an citizens who come to see the excitement. Century Summit Theme Park is different from many domestic theme parks, domestic themes have to buy tickets to enter the park before you can play, go to eat and go, but Century Summit has set aside a large piece of land outside the theme park, with the theme of Century Summit movies, built a large shopping, dining and entertainment area called Future City. Next to the Future City, there is also a free fantasy park, which covers an area of about 1 million square meters, with sparkling lake views, quiet green spaces and cozy paths, giving people a quiet holiday experience that is rare to see in the city. Even if you can't buy a ticket, you can enjoy a variety of experiences outside the theme park, and there's plenty of content to make you feel comfortable staying here for a day.

At 10:15 a.m., there was a sudden commotion in the square in front of the theme park. The tourists shouted "Zhang Ran" with surprise on their faces, and took out their mobile phones and slapped at Zhang Ran. Some of Zhang Ran's die-hard fans rushed directly to Zhang Ran's side and asked to take a photo with him. Zhang Ran was very cooperative, not only agreeing to take photos with tourists, but also cooperating with them in various poses.

Zhang Ran has been busy with the late stage of "Angel of Justice" recently, but he is still willing to take time to attend the opening ceremony of the Century Summit theme park, because the theme park is a very important part of the entire industry chain of Century Peak.

Movies have a lifespan, and some movies can be extended beyond the release window through theme parks, and Disney is the best at this. The Disney Group's revenue in 2015 was $52.5 billion, while movie revenue was only $7 billion, while the theme parks and resorts segment contributed $16.2 billion.

Century Summit plans to build five theme parks in China, which will bring more than $10 billion in annual revenue to Century Summit when completed.

At 10:30 a.m., the opening ceremony of Century Summit Theme Park was held. First of all, a senior official of Zhijiang Province and the mayor of Lin'an City delivered a speech, and both leaders spoke highly of the theme park, believing that it would become another business card of Lin'an.

After the leader spoke, Zhang Ran was invited to the front. He said with a little excitement: "When I was a child, I watched Zheng Yuanjie's fairy tales, and I was deeply impressed by the Pipiru Paradise in it, and then I came to the United States to study and go to Disney to play, and it felt like a dream." At that time, I was thinking, if only we had such a theme park in China, and put Sun Wukong and Chinese heroes in it. Today our theme park officially opened, and my dream has come true!"

Next is the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and the hostess wearing a red cheongsam walks up with a red ribbon and scissors. Amid the salute, the senior officials and the mayor were once again invited to the front desk, holding scissors and cutting the ribbon in front of them.

The flash lights flashed wildly, and the applause of the tourists was deafening. When Zhang Ran announced that the opening time of the park was half an hour earlier, and the park was officially opened at 11:30, the applause at the scene was even more enthusiastic.

At 11:30 a.m., guests begin to enter the park, and park staff line up to welcome the first guests into the park. Amid the cheers of the staff, a man in his thirties excitedly rushed into the theme park and gestured "yes" with both hands. The media reporter was just about to go over to interview the lucky person who was the first to enter the park, but he didn't expect the man to rush to the future world like the wind, and the reporters couldn't catch up, and it was certain that he was a fan of "Full Band Blocking Interference".

Subsequently, visitors from all over the world rushed into the park, happily clapping with the cast and crew who played Iron Man, PLA soldiers wearing exoskeletons, Hu Bayi and other cast members, and then pointed to their favorite areas and ran away. As she ran, a little girl shouted excitedly, "I'm going to ride the merry-go-round!" The staff quickly ran over and asked, "Does it matter, are you hurt?" The little girl patted the dust on her body, looked at her hands, and said, "I'm fine!" After saying that, she spread her legs and ran to the merry-go-round.

The first tourists to come are all in a hurry, rushing to play various projects. The tourists who enter the park in the back are much more leisurely, they know that there are many people queuing up for each project, and it is useless to rush. In particular, some parents who brought their children in took photos with Iron Man, Kung Fu Panda, Xiyangyang and other dolls, interacted with the cast and crew, and watched street performances, which seemed very leisurely.

The Century Summit Theme Park includes six theme parks, "Future World", "Avengers", "Ghost Blowing Lantern", "Dragon Group", "Animal World", and "Dream Park", with a total of more than 28 large and small amusement projects and 16 shows. However, due to the large number of tourists, there are many people queuing up for each event, and ordinary tourists can only play 4 to 5 events a day, enjoy 3 to 4 performances, and it takes 4 to 5 days to play all of them.

Zhong Qihang and Wu Xiaoxia are lovers and spiritual shareholders of "Full Band Blocking Interference", after entering the theme park, the two of them went straight to the future area and went straight to the Wannian Yandi. When the two of them trotted all the way to the Ten Thousand Years Flame Emperor, their eyes were full of shock, just like the tourists around them.

Zhong Qihang couldn't help but say: "This is the Ten Thousand Years Yan Emperor, it's even bigger than I imagined!

Wu Xiaoxia nodded and said, "Yes, it's really big! It's like a cruise ship." I heard that the spacecraft was designed by scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and it was designed according to the real spacecraft, which is really amazing!"

Zhong Qihang and Wu Xiaoxia sighed, and then took a few photos with the spaceship as the background and sent them to the circle of friends to show off. Next, they walked to the Wannian Yandi in high spirits, and lined up inside to play the project of "Decisive Battle Langfang".

There are a lot of tourists coming into the park today, and there is a large group of tourists queuing up for each project, and there is a black crowd in front of the entrance of each project. However, among the 28 projects in the theme park, the most tourists are waiting to play "Battle Langfang". Because the movie "Full-Band Blocking Interference" is too popular, the tragic battle between the PLA and AI in the film is too shocking. Many tourists would rather spend a time or two in line than experience the feeling of a decisive battle between the PLA and the AI army.

The same goes for Zhong Qihang and Wu Xiaoxia, who waited for two hours before entering the game area.

The project "Decisive Battle of Langfang" is actually a VR game, where visitors put on special clothing, change shoes and gloves, put on VR glasses, stand on a universal treadmill, and play the role of human soldiers in a decisive battle with the AI army. When playing "Battle of Langfang", the audience can not only move freely through the gimbal treadmill, but also control weapons and attack AI soldiers.

Since players can move freely and control weapons, in the process of playing the game, the sense of substitution of tourists is stronger than watching movies, and many people feel that they have really come to the front line of Langfang, becoming soldiers of the 112th Division, fighting to the death with the AI along with other soldiers. In the process of playing the game, the screams on the scene are constant, as if you have really entered the battlefield.

At the end of the battle, the officers and soldiers of the 112th Division repelled the attack of the AI army, and Zhong Qihang, Wu Xiaoxia, like other tourists, reluctantly took off their VR glasses. They thought the game was so cool that they wanted to play it again, but they just looked at the crowd at the entrance, and they estimated that they would have to wait for two hours before giving up. The two left the future world and came to the Avengers area. They first visited the headquarters of the Avengers, and then lined up for the "Iron Man Adventure" project.

There were fewer tourists waiting in line for the "Iron Man Adventure" than waiting for the "decisive battle in Langfang", but Zhong Qihang and Wu Xiaoxia still waited for an hour before waiting for the notice to enter the venue.

"Iron Man Adventure" is a suspension roller coaster, but it is a little different from ordinary suspension roller coasters, the seat is rotated back 90 degrees, and the whole person is parallel to the track, facing the ground, just like the attitude of Iron Man flying in the air, the purpose is to let visitors experience the feeling of Iron Man flying in the air.

As soon as the roller coaster started, the theme park burst into a shrill scream, mixed with some cheers. Among the various screams, Wu Xiaoxia's screams were the largest, and she directly soared out of the dolphin sound!

At the end of the round, the tourists with different expressions left. Wu Xiaoxia wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and sighed: "Iron Man is not something that anyone can be! If I were Iron Man, I would have been scared to death!" Zhong Qihang smiled: "Fortunately, you are not Iron Man, otherwise I would have been scared to death by your screams!" Wu Xiaoxia smashed her fist on Zhong Qihang's chest: "I hate it!"

Zhong Qihang and Wu Xiaoxia spent a day in the park, playing six projects and watching five performances. Although they couldn't play all the projects and had to wait a long time for each project, they both had a lot of fun and had a feeling of a dream come true.

Back in the dormitory in the evening, Wu Xiaoxia wrote on Weibo: "I went to the Century Summit Theme Park for a day today, it was really fun. Because of the movie theme park, all projects have story backgrounds and character directions, and the sense of substitution is particularly strong, as if you have really entered the movie world. ”

Like Wu Xiaoxia, almost all visitors to the Century Summit Theme Park gave positive reviews, and they all thought the projects were fun and the performances were exciting. There are also a lot of hungry customers, mainly because the queue is too long and the items that can be played are limited. Some viewers said that they were: "two hours in line, five minutes of play". However, a week after the park opened, the queues for visitors have decreased significantly.

After noticing this phenomenon, Xinjing Daily immediately wrote an article "Zhang Ran's Waterloo", presumably because the number of visitors to the park has decreased significantly, so the time in line has been reduced.
