I love it! Great ideas! A beam amusement park. Kind of a real life future
world, populated by biomorphs. I love it! I'd pay to spend the weekend there
over Disney anytime. A sizable investment, even for a small riding park. But
that idea may be able to attract funding. A part of an already established
amusment park, as a way of deterring cost? Great idea. And a real world
application. I knew you guys had it in you.
Sincerely,
Jim
