 Lots of great photo opportunities await you here. The theme here is Time and many familiar faces can be found. I got a chance to snap some pictures of Doc, Marty, Terminator, Doctor Who and even some anonymous alien type person. 

 
I did stop to interview one of the local inhabitants, a robotic looking fellow who seemed to have quite an anger management problem. He kept yelling nonsense at me. 

[15:15] Dalek Tour: IT IS THE DOCTOR!!!
[15:15] Dalek Tour: EXTERMINATE!!!
[15:15] Dalek Tour: EXTERMINATE!!!
[15:15] Dalek Tour: DONATE! DONATE! DONAAAAAATE!!!!
[15:16] Dalek Tour: WRONG DOCTOR!!!


On this sim, some of the booths include other great partners in the fight against cancer. These events all strive to raise funds for the American Cancer Society to help find a cure.

There is the  Fantasy Fair Booth where you can play gachas for some of the fantastic memorabilia from this years Fantasy Fair in case you missed your chance before! 

 And there is the booth for the Home and Garden Expo , another of the great fund raisers for ACS on the grid


Various portals await to take you to the other sims, so take a journey to various times and places and have fun!

There are 8 different sims with different themes to them. I took a few snapshots in each but I am going to start off with Tomorrowland and a quick discussion with one of the builders, Ik9. ( He built the amazing elevator I was in! )

 Tomorrowland (Atompunk) – Kirk Wingtips
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tomorrowland/125/164/33 

Ik9. (irishk9.aeon): Its my first time to make something at one of these.

Aer: This is amazing and I  was right, a spectacular view ( I was up in the tower as we spoke), I was even able to capture the rocket as it lifted off!
 Ik9. (irishk9.aeon): Yeah, that rockets great
Aer: Ok so...what inspired you to 1. create for this event and 2. to do this theme?
Ik9. (irishk9.aeon): ive been building on that theme for a while so it fell right into place for me. Ive wanted to be able to make something at it for a while, having seen the last few. I just decided to have a go this time.

Aer:  Well you did an amazing job, I love tomorrow land
 Ik9. (irishk9.aeon): Yeah, the sim is great, so much variety

Aer: It's wild crazy and totally picks up the spirit of the amusement park

Ik9. (irishk9.aeon): agreed, little world fair thrown in too

Be sure to visit this sim as it does convey Tomorrowland the theme park so perfectly. A great way to spend our time inside and yet still see some extraordinary views from the mind of it's designer.
