Construct a “Smart” theme-park targeted for next-generation kids. Use Digital & Sensory Network technologies for all objects in the park to be “Smart” & provide a visually rich contextual experience – (i.e. provide information tailored based on where you are, what you are doing, who is around & what has been done before) – for every participant.


The theme of the park should be to:


- showcase the role of fun ‘n joy in learning new things


- focus on language learning


- emphasize parent-child relationship building


- illustrate power of collaboration & partnerships in society


- demonstrate value of leadership by action & participation


- personalized experience per chosen profile (age, interests) to bring out individual talents


- hands-on experience for kids to simulate real-life situations through illustrations (e.g. use a “Finding Nemo” Participatory Real-Time Fish-Tank environment for Kids to learn about self-confidence)


How to make it happen:


- Use the “Start Small, Deliver Big” mantra.


- Involve kids, parents, teachers & researchers from educational community to collaborate & contribute towards the “story-lines” [exhibits] within the park. [Identify 10, Focus on Top 2 initially]


- Involve technology companies (digital animations, smart objects, real-time data management) to collaborate & contribute towards the “tech-glue” that makes things happen.


- Collaborate with finance professionals in my team to identify risks, costs, Return-On-Investment estimates & plan the scope, development timelines accordingly.


- Importantly, at any early stage, I’d like to get seed venture-capitalists interested by showing them initial plans, whiteboard-visualizations through collaboration tools.


- Collaborate with federal-state-local representatives (with guidance from investors) to identify the right fit for park-location – based on market demand, business-incentives, economic policy

Hot hot hot. Remember when Disney had the market cornered on “the future.” I was in Epcot (Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow, I believe), and they actually demonstrated a digital camera as if it was something from a Jetson’s cartoon. “Wow, and look at this, as soon as you shoot a picture, its available on your computer screen!” You are spot on….Lets get some investors together— your ideas have legs.

I loved it when Disney (Anaheim) at the people mover that turned us all into little microscopic people. I never understood why they didn’t update that ride (I think they used the space for Star Wars which is cool but makes me barf!). Love this idea.

Sounds like a way over the top tech-heavy Wannado City. That is a theme park just for kids. There is only one in Broward Co., Florida (same county as Ft Lauderdale)  WWW.wannadocity.com. Parents not allowed-kids become kidizens and play at real life occupations-choice of 250. Might want to incorporate some of their successful features as you plan. Of course, their failures too but you know they will never talk about those!!!)
