If I help construct a city -- especially if I expect to depend somewhat on visitors and visitations -- I'd like to have some exotic and wonderful attractions.

One such attraction is a Fire Garden. There are a couple of others around, so they're not quite unique; but if there are three on the World Tree I haven't heard of the third. The other two are, in effect, statues of formal gardens constructed entirely of flame, and planted and populated with plants and animals as are suffiently fireproof. So, one might have a topiaried tree made of fire, with a living epiphyte growing on it. The first two are intended only for Zi Ri. If I make one, I will include protection spells aplenty, so that anyone can visit it and even touch the flames.

So that's one idea. My friends and advisors have listed some dozens of other ones -- but they are all very conventional people. O readers and commenters, you come up with the most remarkable concepts! What sorts of exotic attractions would you suggest for me?

I second the water park idea! But also:

How about taking over the Tree's puppet-show industry? Since you can make recordings of sights and sounds, why not gather talented actors and musicians, have them perform on stage, and sell copies of the recordings world-wide? You could tightly control the copies and show them in special theaters with overpriced food and drink. You could even figure out how to record plays that're done with sets too elaborate to put in a theater, or in exotic locations, or with special magical effects added to the recordings after the fact.

The city would become a tourist attraction for producing these plays, and everyone from governments to pornographers visionary artists would want you to work for them!
