          Wizard of Oz




          Main space


















          First the sound of a breeze. Quickly  the wind picks up. Now on the screens, are
          projections of a Kansas  homestead with a tornado in the distance. Now the storm is

          intense, roaring through the reception. The noise is deafening. Images of Dorothy

          struggling against the wind. Images of the house in the eye of the storm.

          Then everything stops, the reception room is plunged into  darkness. The screens part
          to the tune of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, characters from the story rush forward

          and excitedly greet the guests .


          The Guests are led over a bridge of running water to the town square and the swirl

          that marks the beginning of the yellow Brick Road. In the middle of the swirl is a
          circular drinks bar. The facade of the village provides a backdrop for seating tables

          and other food and drink units.


          Guests travel on, through a corn field and a signpost with the scarecrow to a wood. In

          the centre of the wood is a an apple tree which forms the centre of a circular wood
          bar. One section of the wood is the haunted forest . The wood and forest provides a

          backdrop for more food stations, bars, seating and tables. Guests continue their jour-

          ney.

          Off to one side the castle provides a framework for another food and drinks bar. Per-

          haps a square bar in dark stone. In the centre of the bar, a crenelated high tower.
          Winged monkey performers jabber from the top of the tower and fly off on zip wires.

          Alternatively, the monkeys could be aerial silk performers, more food and drink sta-

          tions, tables and chairs amongst the rocks fill this area.  A fire performance by the
          witch of the west could take place from the parapets. Puffs of red smoke, giant

          timers, a globe. Fiery food and drink served by Winkies
