Welcome racers, to ‘DINO DERBY LX’! Hop in your dinosaur bone derby car and race with us on this daring, high-intensity track!
Setting:
A dystopian post-apocalyptic fortress/racing arena. Prehistoric creatures (dinosaurs, mammoths) once coexisted amongst the human population. However, decades of conflict between warring factions (ultimately resulting in nuclear catastrophe) has left the land barren – void of life. After a 30 year ceasefire, The ‘Racing Faction’ are gathering new racers for ‘DINO DERBY LX’ in an effort to unify the four factions once again.
Purpose of Story:
This is not a dinosaur adventure. This is a story about human conflict and the consequences of violent actions. Audiences will come expecting ‘dino thrills’, but hopefully, leave with a better understanding of the power of togetherness. The basic expectation of thrill is fulfilled. The promise of ‘dinos’ is the weenie that draws people in, but as guests discover the reality of this harsh new world – the thrill element manifests itself in the innate driving spirit of competition. The ‘DINO DERBY’ is more than a sport; it is the last bit of humanity these people are holding on to.
Theme:
Stronger Together.
Sub-Themes:
- The unifying power of sport.
- Environmental ingenuity and survival.
- The consequences of human conflict.
A quote from the attraction:
‘‘It really is great to see you all here today. Leave the past where it should be… the past. It’s interesting, we can learn from it, but ultimately what matters is today, and today we race. Welcome racers, to DINO DERBY!”
