Era & Themes, General Feel & Esthetic
The general Esthetic of Arco Station might be called American Vintage. All of the permanent structures and features; buildings, race tracks, parks, etc., have a look and feel of the 1930's and 40's Era America on an Earth World, despite everything being engineered and built to much higher standards and with much better building materials.
The general Theme of Arco Station's Attractions are part Vintage Motorcycle Racing and part Fantasy Renaissance Faire, with Post-Apocalyptic War Games thrown in for fun.
Despite the high energy nature of many of the Attractions, the general Feel of Arco Station & Retreat is relaxed; without a hint of 'city hustle' present, it's obvious the Citizens tend to take their time, in general. Also, Visitors tend to slow down and take more time to enjoy the sites and sounds in and around Arco Station when visiting the area.
