Chapter 409: Theme Park Tour

"Quick, this way."

Coming out of the subway station, Wei Yong turned around and greeted a few classmates who came with him.

The name of the subway station is "Shimmer Theme Park Station", before the construction of the theme park, Zhong Ming has already negotiated with the Ming'an Municipal Government to open a subway station, this subway, or strictly speaking, it should be regarded as a light rail, from Ming'an City has been extended, about 20 minutes by car.

Several of Wei Yong's classmates came out of the subway station and followed Wei Yong forward.

A few people were talking and laughing, and after coming out of the subway station, they had already come to the main entrance of the Shimmer Theme Park.

Just in time for Wei Yong and his classmates to graduate, Shimmer Theme Park officially opened, and it was definitely going to be fun.

"Envy Wei Yong, just after graduation, I can be in charge of a mobile game project in Tianji Studio."

"What do you envy, you wouldn't have found a job a long time ago."

"Wei Yong, that's in a game company, in Shimmer Mutual Entertainment, can it be the same!"

Several people joked with each other, came to the main entrance of Shimmer Theme Park, and checked their tickets to enter.

Because it is the first day of the opening of Shimmer Theme Park, tickets are not sold online, and they can only be obtained through some internal channels. Wei Yong, as an employee of Shimmer Entertainment, can of course get tickets for these friends.

Although it was approaching summer, the weather was not very hot, and a few people walked through the main entrance to the central square.

"It's a luxury to use such a large piece of land to build a square...... one of Wei Yong's classmates sighed.

As students of Ming'an University, Wei Yong's classmates have also come to see the Shimmer Theme Park under construction before, and Wei Yong has moved to the new headquarters with Tianji Studio more than a year ago, and he can usually see the Shimmer Theme Park in the office building.

But whether you look at it by flying car or in an office building, you can see it from the air, and you know that the Shimmer theme park covers a large area, but there is no concept of how big it is.

Now that I really put myself in the main entrance square of the theme park, I have a very clear understanding of the area of this park.

In the central square, there is a huge fountain in the center, on which is the statue of the main character of "Guardian of the Zodiac", Xingqi, who holds his sword high and looks into the distance, which is a good representation of a determined warrior.

And around the diaphragm, there are statues of the twelve guardians of the zodiac, these statues have undergone some artistic treatment, the size is not strictly made according to the original proportions, and at the same time, through the adjustment of posture, they are about the same size in the senses.

For example, the dragon is made in a spiraling shape instead of fully stretched.

The twelve guardians of the zodiac spew water from their mouths and merge into the huge fountain in the center.

In the evening, the fountain will also have a special fountain show, which gives a very dreamlike feeling by controlling the changes in the flow of water and combining with the lighting effects around the fountain.

Around the central plaza, there are many characteristic buildings, as well as some scattered game scenes, such as a statue of a fishing player by the river, which is an NPC in "Ink and Smoke".

There are some shops here that sell some official merchandise, such as headwear, clothing, plush toys, figurines, etc.

The entrance and exit of the theme park are the same, and guests can buy some headgear and hair accessories to wear on their bodies for photos when they enter, and when they leave, they can buy some costumes and figurines as souvenirs, or give them as gifts to friends.

Wei Yong and a few classmates walked into the memorial store, casually turned around, and some people ran to the bathroom next to them to go to the toilet, after all, they needed to release the water in advance by taking the subway all the way, so that they could have a better tour next.

"This one only sells for ten yuan, which is quite cheap." A girl checks out at the front desk, and she has a little devil's headdress in her hand, the kind that can flash and flash.

Similar headgear is sold in many tourist attractions, and the appearance is also varied, in addition to the little devil headwear, there are also some special cos clothes for game characters in the shimmer game, such as the set of clothes of the scholar in "Ink and Smoke" can be purchased directly, and there can also be matching picture scrolls and brushes.

But the things here are not expensive, they are all conscience prices, except for the figurines that are slightly more expensive.

After a short stroll, Wei Yong received a map of the theme park from the side and started the formal tour with a few classmates.

There are not many visitors in the park, on the one hand, because the theme park opened on the first day today, tickets were not sold publicly, and most of the people who could get them were insiders, relatives, hardcore players of Shimmer Entertainment, major media staff, etc.; On the other hand, because theme parks normally control the number of people per day, they don't want to queue for 2 hours and experience 5 minutes.

Following the official recommended route, the group decided to follow the tour in a counterclockwise direction, i.e. visit the Ancient Museum, Future Era, Nightmare City, and Fantasy World in turn, and finally return to the main entrance, buy some souvenirs and gifts, and leave.

If all goes well, you should be able to play most of the items that interest you in one day.

"We book an experience first, so we don't have to wait in line. Do you want to book a live-action shooter for Project Xuanjia or a horror house for Resident Evil? Wei Yong swiped the bracelet and planned to make an appointment on it.

The so-called reservation is actually a queue, and depending on the ticket price, each tourist can have a different number of reservation opportunities. Some popular attractions in the park often have a lot of people in line, so you can make an appointment first, and you can experience it directly when you get to the world without queuing.

The discussion immediately ensued, and in the end, it was the live-action shooting program of Project Xuanjia that prevailed, as there were two timid students who didn't want to experience the horror house of Resident Evil, although the place was said to be fun, and there would be staff members who would play the role of tyrants and arrest people.

After making an appointment for everyone to the live-action shooting project of "Xuanjia Project", Wei Yong led everyone to the ancient construction area.

As one of the four major districts, the ancient architecture area contains many ancient Chinese and Western buildings, such as the Temple of Heaven, the Great Wall, the Arc de Triomphe, etc., all of which have been carefully copied, and can be said to be a holy place for group photos.

Once inside the ancient construction area, each visitor can rent a small go-kart for free. The small go-kart has perfect protection, there is enough cushioning even in the event of a collision, and the speed is not fast, but it is still very convenient compared to the two legs of tourists.

Under the guidance of the staff, everyone got into their go-karts and drove to start the tour.

The driving of the go-kart is very simple, similar to in the game, you just need to play the steering wheel, press the brakes and the accelerator, and even a child can drive smoothly. There are also tourists I know who deliberately drive go-karts to touch each other, and they have a good racing game, and they play as bumper cars.

Drive around in a go-kart and get a panoramic view of these characteristic buildings in the ancient architectural area.

Visitors can take a tour of these unique buildings, which have been completely restored and are provided with small souvenirs.

In addition, visitors can simply go outside, and go-kart races are organized between different buildings, and the first place winner will receive a small gift.

Of course, there is also a lot of natural scenery here, and tourists can also drive a go-kart to the river, sit down on a bench to have a bite to eat, and look at the tranquil river to think about life.

After driving the go-kart for more than an hour, everyone came to the exit of the ancient construction area, handed the kart back, and continued into the next area.

Go-karts are a feature of the ancient construction area, but other areas don't have to rely on two legs, visitors can rent a balance bike and just find any of the balance bike stops to park and recharge.

After leaving the ancient building area and entering the future era area, the surrounding architectural style changed in an instant.

All the buildings in the Future Era area are in the sci-fi style, and like the "Xuanjia Project", even the doors of some buildings have become automatic sensor doors, and they will make a "click" sound when they are opened and closed.

After coming to the Future Era area, everyone couldn't wait to rush to the special area of the "Xuanjia Project".

Since I had already made a reservation, I can now experience the live shooting event immediately through the direct channel.

This live-action shooter perfectly reproduces part of the map of the "Xuanjia Project", the terrain is very complex, everyone has to wear the protective clothing of the "Xuanjia Project", of course, there will be no mecha exoskeleton like the protective clothing in the game, it is just a showcase, but with a special somatosensory and surface color change function.

After that, all participating visitors will be randomly dispersed to various areas of the map through a special underground device, divided into small groups.

Wei Yong and his classmates split into two groups, and entered an underground facility with the other tourists, standing in small teams on different plots. After that, the entire facility goes underground, and the different tiles gradually separate up and take different paths, so that when you reach the surface, all the players are automatically scattered in different areas of the map.

As soon as they appeared on the surface, Wei Yong and his teammates began to look for various weapon module replenishment points on the ground.

All guns are simulated, and as in the game, the player enters with a pistol and a spear, both of which can be hung up or dual-wielded. Unlike the game, the weapon module is no longer scattered on the ground, but some special module points will be refreshed on the map, these module points are pillars, as long as you touch the gun simulator on it, you can automatically get the corresponding weapon module function.

After all, weapon modules are easy to lose when thrown on the ground, and it is not convenient to recycle, so making this form of a column will save a lot of trouble.

The live-action shootout here removes the setting of various projectiles, and the shooting is achieved through the vibration of the gun, the light effect, and the somatosensory and color-changing functions of the somatosensory suit.

When the player pulls the trigger, the gun simulator in their hand will vibrate and the muzzle will glow, similar to the GS1 simulator experience. The simulated signal emitted from the muzzle of the gun searches for the target in front of it in a straight line and reacts with the enemy's somatosensory suit.

After being hit, it will give feedback to the enemy player based on the bullet trajectory, damage, and other information.

The player who is hit will feel a shock in the corresponding part, and at the same time, the part of the body suit will change color, and depending on the player's total health, a special area of the back and chest will also change color accordingly, green, yellow, red, and even gray, representing death.

After death, the player's gun simulator can no longer be used, so find the nearest exit point and go underground and exit the game to wait for the next game.

Of course, considering that it is not fun to be all real people, there will be a large number of fixed and moving targets randomly in the game, which will randomly appear in various areas, and will also shoot and deal damage to tourists. Kill these targets and you can also get a certain reward.

At the end of the day, the winning team will receive a souvenir that includes a special real-life gun model and character figure, as well as some virtual rewards in the game, such as an out-of-print in-game skin created specifically for the theme park.

Wei Yong and the others played inside until 11 o'clock, and then reluctantly walked out.

"This is fun, it's more fun than the simulator!"

"Well, it's a pity that I'm tired from playing, and the body feeling suit is a little hot. Where to go next? ”

"Let's go, it's time for the Star Tinder section."

Entering the "Interstellar Tinder" area, the first thing that catches your eye is the huge planetary engine in the distance, although it is many times smaller than in the game, but it still feels very magnificent from the perspective of looking up.

Before entering the planetary engine, the group first visited some other places, such as the surface scene of the fiery red planet, the snow scene, the zerg lair, and so on. Each of these scenarios has some mini-games, such as the planet surface scene where you can control a specific robot to shoot + pick up garbage, and in the Zerg lair, you can experience a shooting simulation game.

After entering the planetary engine, everyone took the sightseeing elevator to the top floor, experienced the jumping machine, and then went to the middle floor to experience the escape room.

In the jumping machine, everyone has a good experience of weightlessness and excitement, and the jumping machine is inside the planetary engine, you can clearly see the structure inside the engine, you can also see the outside, see the panoramic view of the entire theme park, sightseeing and frightening two-in-one.

The escape room simulates a special situation: due to special reasons, the planetary engine stalls, and at the same time, various failures occur inside the entire planetary engine, facing an urgent existential crisis.

Visitors take on the role of a squad that restarts the planetary engine, with combatants, technical experts, and recording personnel. Each person plays a role and has their own role to play.

Starting at the entrance to the escape room, visitors have to solve puzzles and open blocked doors in the countdown, and may have to engage in a relatively simple firefight with the rebels along the way, some of which require heavy weapons......

In the end, players have done their part, solved the crisis faced by the planetary engine, and successfully restarted, and can get a small gift carefully prepared by the official.

After experiencing the escape room, Wei Yong looked at his watch, it was already more than 12 noon, so several people planned to continue the afternoon tour after eating.
