One day at a future Theme Park ....

Tezuka Productions never went commercial the way Disney did. There never was a "Osmau Tezuka World" theme park. But what if there WAS? ...
A rather short fan day dream of mine ....
I felt the acceleration as my feet left the ground and I was lifted skyward. The ground dropped further and further below me, and a sudden fear of acrophobia swept though me for a second. I gradually realized I was in control of myself, and I was able to change direction, zooming upward or diving downwards on my command. I flew around the top of a tall building trying to peer into the windows. This was great!
I flew past a supersonic jetliner and waved to the passengers peering out of the windows at me. I flew lower and sailed past a high speed train that was transporting passengers between two major cities. Oh the great freedom of flight!
Up ahead of me a huge column of smoke was rising. A building was on fire. I flew toward a water tower and getting under it, I lifted it into the air and carried it over to the flames to pour its contents. After extinguishing the flames I brought the tower back and set it down.
Up ahead of me, the snow covered peak of Mt. Sophia loomed. I dove downward toward the base of the mountain and smashed my way into it. I furiously dug into the rocky soil, pushing the debris behind me while propelling myself upward though the earth with my rockets. After a few minutes I broke out at the peak of the mountain, flying out of it like lava out of a volcano.
This was fantastic! I performed a few somersaults and barrel rolls though the air before flying back to my starting point and landing. As my feet touched the ground the world around me dissolved. A door opened and the operator entered to unstrap me from the harness. I stepped out of the chamber. The line for the ride stretched out for what seemed like miles. I had waited over two hours for my few minutes in the simulation. The “ride” was a flight simulator that whirled the occupant around while a 360 degree projection appeared around him. Puffs of air blowing in competed the simulation.
“How'd you like that?”, a short Asian boy now standing in line asked me. He was wearing a baseball cap over his almost shaven head, and had a pair of thick eye glasses sitting on the bridge of his nose.
“That was amazing,” I told him “I almost felt I was
for a few minutes.”
“Yeah, I can't wait” the boy said gazing at the long queue he was now standing in.
.....Ya think Tezuka Productions could out do Disney? If only .........
