History:
Jack
Kirby: "Jack
- What about
the Gods'
transportation
device? I
see a kind
of bullet-device
like some
kind or 'Tube'
which they
operate by
thought, and
it zaps them
where ever
they want
to go in Heaven.
What do you
think?"
"(a day
or two later)
Here! This
is the god,
Brahma, on
his personal
carrier. I
wouldn't want
to get in
his way myself."
"Wow!
Thanks Jack!"
Lord
of Light:
Beckoning
at nearly
teleportational
speeds, the
gods travel
the great
expanses of
Heaven in
mystic trance
with their
levitating
cars. (a Kirby-Geller
invention,
just so you
know!)
Science
Fiction Land:
Connecting
the major
sections and
sites of Science
Fiction Land
will be the
Jet Tube
Sky Ride.
The Jet
Tube Sky Ride
will carry
one hundred
passengers
through the
skies and
distribute
them to all
the major
attractions
in the park.
Two such rides
will always
be in operation.
Inside the
huges, bullet-shaped
cylinder,
costumed attendendents
will distribute
soft drinks
and a food
bar will also
be available.
Along the
walls of each
passenger
section there
will be video
monitors which
will show
current operations
of various
parts of the
Park. This
will also
act as visual
brochure for
points of
interest and
directions.
The Jet
Tube Sky Ride
will be a
working model
of future
trnsportation,
called MagLev,
forwhich uses
electromagnetic
fields to
levitate and
propel a train
over long
distances.
It will employ
powerful superconducting
magnets along
the bottom
of the vehicle
to reate repulsive
force against
electrical
current along
a conducting
aluminum gueideway.
A separate
superconducting
system achieves
propulsion
- the The
Jet Tube Sky
Ride is
"pulled"
forward by
attraction
to ther magnetic
field in the
guideway ahead
of it while
a repulsive
magnetic force
"pushes"
the vehicle
from behind
it.
Large tinted
windows give
the passengers
a view floying
over the Park
while the
The Jet
Tube Sky Ride
speeds on,
tunnelling
through its
transparent
plastic tubular
shell. Speeds,
however, will
be slow enough
to allow passengers
to fully enjoy
themselves
on their ride
across the
skies.
The Jet
Tube Sky Ride
will be used
to transport
visitors from
nearby airports
to all points
of Science
Fiction Land
and beyond.
