==Attractions, Features & Services== The Attractions in the Entertainment Venues include Vintage Motorcycle Racing, Vintage Motorcycle Chariot Races, Motorcycle Jousting and Motorcycle Melee Events, as well as Vintage Airshows and Vintage Formula One Racing, most with available training for those who wish. <div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">[[File:Motorcycleracing-Arcostation-Alamond.jpg|300px]] [[File:Airshow-Arcostation-Alamond.jpg|300px]] [[File:F1racing-Arcostation-Alamond.jpg|300px]]</div> The Attractions also include various Armed and Unarmed Combat Attractions; shows, displays & competitions, in various sized pits and arenas, ranging from one on one pitfights to small scale battles, to large Battle Royales. All available for the Spectator to enjoy and with Combat Training available for those who wish to participate. One of the most unusual Features of Arco Station are the Attraction Sites; most are Dug-in Arenas. This means that both the Performance Area (race track, fighting pit, etc.) and the Stands for Spectators, are dug into the ground, most looking much like a miniature to small Open Pit Mine. There are several reasons for this, the Esthetic being one reason, and keeping the sound of the Attractions from traveling across the desert flatlands and disturbing the general peace and quiet of the nearby Town and Residences. <div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">[[File:Pitfighting-Arcostation-Alamond2.1.jpg|300px]] [[File:Pitfighting-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|300px]] [[File:Arenafighting-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|300px]]</div> There is also an archery range and two firearms ranges; one for handguns and one for rifles. All offer displays and shows of marksmanship and trick shooting. The ranges can provide weapons and ammo as well as training. Bring Your Own is welcomed and encouraged. <div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">[[File:Archeryrange-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|300px]] [[File:Riflerange-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|400px]] [[File:Handgunrange-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|300px]]</div> And a most unique Attraction is a Siege Weapons Range with Displays & Shows for the Spectator to enjoy... and training for those that want to be a Participant. Available siege weapons include but are not limited to: arrow flingers, spear launchers (single and multiple), ballista (small thru huge), catapults (small thru huge) and trebuchet (small thru huge). And even a special trebuchet that has been designed to fling cars. <div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">[[File:Ballista-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|300px]] [[File:Catapult-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|300px]] [[File:Trebuchet-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|300px]]</div> The surrounding and nearby Natural Features provide more casual venues for Outdoor Enthusiasts. The surrounding desert flatlands and hills provide excellent areas for off-roading adventures. The scenic hills, hoodoos and rock formations provide excellent hiking, rock climbing and rough camping opportunities. The nearby lake, Varga's Lake as it's now called, with its several natural beaches, scenic canyons and rock formations provides beautiful areas suitable for camping, boating, fishing, waterskiing and swimming. The forested mountains with its several rivers, streams and tiny mountain lakes, all located on the far side of the lake, provides hiking, fishing, hunting and rough camping opportunities. Campgrounds, Cabin Rentals, Boat & Ski Rentals, Bait & Tackle Shop & an Outdoorsman Equipment Shop are all available near the Docks and Marina at the Lake. <div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">[[File:Lake at Arco Station2.1.jpg|300px]] [[File:Lake at Arco Station4.1.png]] [[File:Lake at Arco Station3.1.jpg|300px]]</div> The Downtown area has two Major Streets; Main St. and Lake St., and has an American Vintage feel with all of its buildings looking like they were built in the 1930's and 40's. It provides services for the surrounding residences as well as the Visitors... though not all Services are available to Visitors. The Neighborhoods surrounding the Downtown area are Walled-In for the Security and Privacy of the Residents. Outsiders, Visitors and Guests are Strictly Forbidden to enter ANY Walled Neighborhood without specifically being Invited by a Citizen of Arco Station. Citizens are given VIP Guest Tokens that they are to give to those Special Invited Guests when they want a Non-Citizen of Arco Station to visit them at their Residence. The Residences surrounding the Downtown area come in three styles: *Small 1-2 bedroom house with a 1 car garage or carport and a small back yard; these are located closest to the Downtown Business area. *Medium 2-3 bedroom house with a 2 car garage and a high carport for RV's or Semis and a large back yard; these are located next to the Downtown Neighborhood, further from the Downtown Business area. *Large 4-6 bedroom house with 2-4 car garage, high double carport for RV's and a large surrounding estate; these are located furthest from the Downtown area and are sometimes found in secluded or scenic area. ***All yards and estate areas are fenced; fencing type varies by neighborhood and estate. ===Downtown Areas=== ====Downtown Features==== *Public Park '''#''' **with Flowing Well from aquafer / underground river. *Public (free) Drive-in Theater (nightly) *Numerous Shaded Areas (Cottonwoods) throughout the Downtown Areas *Wide Shaded Avenues with ample On-Street Parking Spaces *Wide Shaded Sidewalks with frequent Park Benches *Numerous Businesses providing Goods and Services for Basic Needs, Specialized Hobbies, Wholesome Entertainment and Souvenirs. *Various Storage Buildings, Garages and Hangers '''#''' **Hanger; Motorcycle Mechanic Shops within (near Venue Areas) **Hanger; Racecar Mechanic Shops within (near Venue Areas) **Hanger; Aircraft Mechanic Shops within (near Venue Areas) ====Downtown Area Services (25+)==== =====Public & Private Organizations===== *ACPST&W Facility: Power Station *ACPST&W Facility: S&T Recycling Center **''Alamond Central Power, Sewer, Trash & Water'' *Arco Station Facility: Water Pumping Station *Town Hall & Community Center # **Rodak: Encampment Gaffer, Rafe: Civic Leader, Argile: Civic Leader, Andy: Civic Leader, Lawrence: Civic Leader, Harry Hartz: Civic Leader, Chuck: Encampment Electrical Engineer, Davey: Encampment Plumbing Engineer, Rock Hound: Encampment Geologist & Hydrologist, Tanker: Multi-Fuel Specialist & Transport Coordinator, Danny: Encampment Chief Dirt Mover, Sissy: Encampment Sorceress *Guardians' Guildhall # **Guild Leaders: Raphael (Founder), Fitz, Colette, Rodak, Argile, Pipil, Carl, Marko, Kevin. **Restricted Access to Guardians ONLY. **Usually used as Transport & Return Location for those Serving Guard Duty. *Sorceress' Guild Hall **Guild Leaders (3): Jewelz, Missy, Sissy **Members (13): Nancy, Vicki, Bobbie Sue, Kimberley, Priscilla, Diane, Jean, Veronica, Betty Jo, Doris, Sheryl, Peggy, Natalie *Arco Station Fire Department **Sub-Guild of the Sorceress' Guild *Clinic # **plus Pharmacy & Surgical Bay **Jamie: Registration Clerk, Harry: Orderly, Gina: Registered Nurse, Herb: Pharmacist =====Businesses===== *Arco Service Station # **Multi-Fuel Station & Mechanic's Shop **Bernie: Clerk, William: Clerk, Lug: Mechanic, Wrench: Mechanic, Dozer: Mechanic , Jack: Mechanic, Mario: Mechanic, Vince: Mechanic *Grocery Store # **Crista: Clerk/Manager, Brian: Clerk, Jake: Clerk *Hardware Store # **Charlie: Clerk/Manager, Jonathan: Clerk *Diner # **Bfast, Lunch & Dinner 24/7 **Albert: Cook, Sammy: Cook, Patrick: Cook, Diane: Waitress, Jean: Waitress, Alice: Waitress, Tabitha: Waitress, Ruby: Waitress, Tamara: Waitress, Todd: Waiter, Skip: Waiter, Shelly: Waitress, *Bar/Pub # (24/7) **Bart: Bartender, Van: Bartender *Motel **Two Story, 200 Rooms **Two Pool Areas **Sterling: Day Manager, Norman: Night Manager, Abraham: Asst Mgr, Baraby: Asst Mgr, Callum: Staff, Duane: Staff, Ellington: Staff, Fletcher: Staff, Giselle: Staff, Harriet: Staff, Ira: Staff, Justine: Staff, Kyle: Staff, Nigel: Staff, Otto: Staff, Patricia: Staff, Quinn: Staff, Roy: Staff, Suzette: Staff, Tyron: Staff *Campgrounds # **Two Locations Near Downtown at the Attraction Sites **One has Large Shacks (actually very nice Tiny Cabins) for Rent **(Rotating) Derrick: Campground Host, Paulette: Campground Host, Francisco: Campground Host *Fabrication & Repair Shop # **(Restricted Access; No Visitors/Outsiders.
