In the aggregate
Considered as a whole
Ride cluster
The holistic and synchronic view of existence stipulates that reality is composed not of things but rather of relationships.
“We live in an indeterminate universe and that there is an “observer effect” that disturbs any system under study…and absolute objectivity like that espoused by positivism is a myth.” – Scott J. Simon
Judgmental assumptions
Attention vitality
Living reality
An ethereal atmosphere is present as the ambient light fades into darkness. Observational enchantment on the midway propagates at dusk resulting from balanced background radiation.
“The future depends on what you do today.” – Mahatma Gandhi
Tangled experience
Cause effect affinity
Modern enchantments
Aimlessly traversing the carnival midway as night descends, the visual spectacle transforms into a phantasmagoria thoroughfare to nowhere special. Such an entrancing assemblage helps provide cultural substance for self understanding and judgment.
“The imaginary is what tends to become real.” – André Breton
Absolute act
Reasoning faculties
Subsequent creation
All environmental circumstances in which existence occurs are provisional. The velocity of passing conditions seems continuously to accelerate as time accumulates. Under such constraints, an action freely performed nullifies all other equally possible proceedings.
“If the vibrant and frolicking merry-go-round of our daily living has been ousted by an eerie void of an intractable vacuum, only inspiriting memories may shore up our inner world.” – Erik Pevernagie
Public revelry
Traveling amusement
Festival of merrymaking
Rides, games-of-skill, and sideshows all combine in a frenetic slipshod disturbance of prodigious public entertainment. The illuminated promise of the ‘Greatest Carnival on the Planet’ builds enjoyment anticipation, opening the possibility of even superior shows active on other celestial bodies.

Chance and skill
Game operator
Public displays of proficiency at shooting and winning are here proffered. Potential profit results from pricing participation far above the value of any obtainable prize. By promoting the trading-in of multiple small insignificant prizes for a larger worthless prize, continued play is actively encouraged. The real game is to instill desire among customers.
“Happiness is a carnival game. It’s never as easy as it looks, but the dumb ones always seem to be walking around with a big stuffed animal.” – Dov Davidoff
Stuffed characters
Taxidermy suggestion
Anxiety reassurance
