Lunar Theme Park
The year is 2050. Man is now colonising the moon and you have decided to open the first lunar theme park in history.
Your spending limit is £5 000.
You must carefully decide:
what sort of rides you are going to have
what other facilities visitors will need when they come to your theme park like toilets, cafes, shops
paths between all the facilities and rides.
Many theme parks have different areas that are ‘themed’. In other words they might have an African area, a wild west American area or an Old England area. Think carefully about what you want to have in yours.

If 100 people come to the theme park every day and spend £5 to get in, would you make any money?

Keeping your guests happy
Your theme park is getting more popular by the day. However, the more people there are in the park, the more confusing the layout becomes! You have decided that the best way to help people to get around the park is for them to use touchscreen help computers and a free app. This will allow them to pinpoint their location and find directions to where they want to go.
The technicians will sort out the design for you but they need to know what to include. Your task is to include directions between as many of your attractions as possible. Make sure you explain the clearest route to your guests. You don't want them all ending up at a dead end!
