The Karnival Challenge

"Because Kerbals need entertainment too!"

So here's the idea. I've seen lots of people building bases, laboratories, kethane refineries, mining complexes, etc. And I thought, why not a carnival?! Doing science experiments, watching the kethane drills, checking on the refineries, cleaning science laboratories... these routines can drive any kerbal crazy for long stretches of time (especially those guys on Eve). Therefore they need a place or facility to just have plain fun! This is not really a contest but merely a challenge on creativity.

Can you build the next Disneyland in the Kerbal universe?

MECHANICS:

  • It's pretty simple, build a carnival (or theme park, or fairground, whatever you want to call it) on any celestial body. (Think a carnival on Laythe will have appeal to the locals, go ahead!)
  • Your carnival must have at least 3 different rides. The more the better! (You can stick with the traditional ferriswheel, or you can build something that's totally whack)
  • Use any mods to your liking (I have my reservations on using HyperEdit, but if you think sending all those components one by one to the destination is too tedious, no one's stopping you)

Things to consider:

Safety - how safe are your kerbals from explosions this time? How sure are you that that girder won't fly off once the ride is at full power?

Visual Appeal - does your carnival look just as boring as your space station? Put some spice into it! Kerbpaint is your friend!

Accessibility - your carnival should accommodate any mode of transportation, whether they arrive by rocket or by spaceplane

Uniqueness - carnivals on the ground are sooo yesterday, orbital carnivals are the bomb!

Creativity - take advantage of the place! Reverse bungee on Minmus anyone?

Get posting and goodluck!

If you have any questions or suggestions do let me know.
