“Entertain me”

Thank you for taking this survey. It will only take a couple of minutes.
Please be as honest as possible.
Thr, (the IM version of There) is a new entertainment neighborhood opening in the area.
The concept is to have a place that evolves with the cliks that use it.
It will be open from 6am to 11pm every day!
It is a five-floor facility.
Each floor is 120’ X 100’.
Each room is 20’ X 50’
To create this memorable experience, Thr will offer these X-Gen concepts in “fun” to our excited customers, known as “Cliks”:
THE FIRST FLOOR:
“Entertain me”
The Thr concept of hanging out is being able to gather as a group with like interests or as an individual who wants to hang out alone. Thr offers SEVEN individual rooms. for different age groups and their likes.
That is the Thr way!
For the videoconference and seminar user, it will be equipped with an Internet hookup. The same chairs and a large table will compliment their needs.
One of the special and very state-of-the-art uses for this room is to use the Internet link to get two-way audio and video to and from another Thr! Who else offers the opportunity to sit and get to know people who are potentially thousands of miles away in another country? Imagine a room that one day hosts an SAT seminar in 5 cities and then shows Spaceballs!
The Thr DVD room is open from 8am to 11pm 7 days a week unless there is a conference from 8am to 3pm, Monday thru Friday only.
Two climbing walls:
Rock walls have quickly become one of the “fun” things for entertainment. All age groups can participate. Its concept fits right into the spirit of the X-Generation.
The Thr design offers a challenge to all levels of fun seekers:
All the climbers will be tethered to a latch at the bottom and a latch at the top. The latches will move on a circular track that rotates around the climbing wall. The latches will be 2 feet wider than the wall. The climber will be allowed to ascend the tower on any side. The purpose for this is that when a climber falls off the wall, the tethers will bring them away from the wall so when the climber descends, they avoid contact with the wall. This will insure that there is no harm to the climber! There will be 2 climbers at a time on each wall.
The object is simple: climb to the top, touch the chalk at the top and when sponsored, win a prize. The climber only gets one chance. If he/she loses contact with the wall, their turn is over and they are brought down from the wall. The prizes will vary by day (possibly by the hour). Children under a certain height will not be allowed.
Three harness-controlled trampolines.
Trampolines have been a popular leisure sport for many years. People of all ages enjoy the feeling of being able to bounce higher and higher. These trampolines utilize a harnessing system that restricts the jumper’s movements to only the surface of the trampoline. This enables the user to do cool flips and spins without the danger of falling off the sides! It is great for 5-13 year olds who want to show the adults that they are better than them. These trampolines are also good for individual and group competitions that can be judged.
The snack shack.
As the title implies, it will sell the basics like chips, drinks, candy, you know-snacks. They will be available all day to anyone. There will be no seating area for this. The shack will not be franchised out, but maintained and run by the Thr family.
THE SECOND FLOOR:
As it’s name implies, the hang out is for the under 18 crowd. It will combine all the exciting and desired elements for that age group of self-identity:
The THR Store.
It may not say {brand name} on it, but it will have many of the same things available. Having a store to buy CD’s, phones, magazines, t-shirts download songs and other “today” items makes the experience for the patron positive.
Third party kiosks.
There are six other kiosks in Thr. The lessee’s of these kiosks will sell items that are important to our clientele. These kiosks will not compete with the THR store. They will attract the young money like Starbucks, Aeropostale, Hollister, etc.
Coffee, Juice, Soda bar. Shopping and relaxing sure builds a thirst! What better than by supplying the youngin’s with what they need. There is nothing alcoholic, just refreshing.
The main function for the “hang out” is a place for people to hang out. The floor will be open with large, throw pillows on the floor. There will be ten three-person couches and 20 lounge chairs. This encourages sitting and relaxing, and laughing. All with shopping right in your sights.
THE THIRD FLOOR:
“EATS”
Thr will pride itself on having good food at a good value. To accomplish this, it is important that Thr only use the top quality shops and cooks that are out there. It is also important that we make the eating experience one with courtesy and happiness. To start, the restaurant will have seating for 260 people. A hostess will seat you. Our patrons will order from a menu. The restaurant can be a restaurant style or a diner, serving different ethnic daily specials with kids and adults portions. It can also be a set of kiosks that serve different style international foods. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be served all the time. The restaurant will be a part of the Thr family.
Wireless Internet.
Setting up 50 terminals would not be realistic for Thr, Setting up a wireless area in the restaurant where for a small fee patrons can bring their laptops and get the code for the wireless LAN service is! Hey if it is good enough for Starbucks, then it is good enough for Thr!
“Green Golf”
What makes the golf course different and entertaining goes on a couple of different levels.
First, all the holes are designed indigenous to the city and area the neighborhood resides in. Unless it is in Holland, there won’t be any windmills! All holes are custom designed by Thr. The use of technology will be prevalent in all the holes. In NY, for example, you would have a Times Square hole, a George Washington Bridge hole, etc. The holes will also change if the cliks decide they don’t like the hole for good reason.
The holes will also use an alternative energy source: water. Every course will have a river or stream or waterfall that will generate electricity for the course. That will stay with our “green” directive of conserving energy and keeping the costs down.
With all of the exciting things Thr will offer, it will also need to offer a time out for the adults. Where better than above it all, with the sky and the stars to soothe you? The roof will serve two very important functions:
The “sanctuary”. It is the only place in Thr that will serve anything alcoholic. I see it being beer and wine exclusively, but it can go to a liquor base if the cliks really want it. You will need to use the ID bracelet to enter and no one under the legal drinking age is ever allowed in the sanctuary except for private parties. It will be a big open space that will serve beer and wine, coffee and tea, juice and soda. This area is designed for people who want to talk in a quiet setting or just be by themselves. The sanctuary will be Plexiglas covered open sky and have a Plexiglas barrier to ten feet for safety. I am open to a smoking area outside the Plexiglas if the cliks and local laws allow it. Mosquito netting will be used if necessary.
This area will be available for private parties. Of course, the entire facility is always available.
The second function is for the roof to house the “green” area here. This will be another important element to the Thr success story. The alternative HVAC will be stored on the non-accessible part of the roof. The HVAC can be conventional and/or geothermal and/or radiant heating. Thr will show the way of the future by using hydroelectric, wind and solar power generators to offset the utility costs of the building. This will keep the clik’s costs down!
There will be parking for 150 vehicles and bicycles and ten buses. Public transportation will also be nearby.
