If you even tangentially like the Renaissance, this is the dome for you. A
lot of people seemingly mistake this as one big Faire that never ends, but
it’s more complicated than that. It’s not really even a faire at all. Faires
in the past have not only come and gone, but the actors involved are simply
playing characters. They know what year it is, and they sometimes forget to
take off their smartwatches. This is more like a form of time travel. The
droid actors are fully immersed, and will be genuinely confused by any
anachronisms that they might encounter. You are allowed to take personal
technology in with you, but you are encouraged to keep it concealed as much
as possible to protect the integrity of the experience. Unless you’re in the
anachronism sector, where advanced tech is not only allowed, but prevalent.
Other sectors have their own rules and restrictions, though there’s
generally free movement between them. They’re not divided by unscalable
walls, or anything, unless that’s the point of the story of that given area.
The droids just believe that they are residents of the time periods, and
don’t even know that they’re artificial. Do not—I repeat—do not try
to disabuse them of their reality. With enough brute force, you
can break their software, and force a repair, but that’s so
disrespectful and destructive of you. And keep your kids in line, because
they will do this. Humanity has a long history of trying to get its actors
to break character, and it’s always been incredibly annoying. Just enjoy
this place for what it is. There is a sector for everyone. If you want to be
very authentic and historically accurate, you can find that. If you want it
to lean more into the fantasy aspect, that’s available too. And like I said,
there’s an anachronism sector, where people pretend to be alien space
travelers, and time travelers, and whatever. I don’t personally care for
that, but I’m okay with it existing. Just stay in your lane, so to speak.
This dome spends so many resources basically policing people’s movements.
There are some areas you can’t go to if you’re wearing modern garments,
because you’re also meant to cosplay as a typical member of society in that
time period. Perhaps they should build walls, so you know exactly how
far you can stray before you run into a different theme. For the most part,
everything is pretty simple here, with the majority of the work going into
measures that uphold the illusion of an isolated reality. There are some
advanced aspects of it, though. For instance, there are a few dragons, which
while fully mythical, are deeply tied to the historical culture and beliefs
of the day. These dragons are not genetically engineered, because even
though they could absolutely code the genome for something dragon-like, it
would not be able to fly, because dragons break the laws of physics. Stop
reading if you don’t want to know how the trick is performed. They’re just
holograms. Conventional and totally normal aircraft fly around, usually in
an array of synced drones, which project a holographic image of whatever
flying beast its programmed to be at the time. They can generate heat, but
not fire. That would be technologically possible, but also not safe enough,
or they would have to require people come in here with certain types of
substrates. As it stands, you can walk in as a normal human, and everything
be safe enough, and I think they want to maintain that freedom. You
shouldn’t want to be breathed on by a dragon, but if that’s you’re
thing, I guess look for a VR simulation. This dome doesn’t always stick to
pure historical accuracy, but it’s for leisure and education, not adventure,
and certainly not danger.
