Yes!! They playgrounds all need to have adult-sized apparatus as well as kiddy-sized ones. It's great fun and exercise for the ickle-'uns; they want us to have the same, so why don't they build ones in our size too?
The 'Great Ape Playground' at Monkey World was like this. ^^
Finally, Arcade. With awesome machines. Some of those ones from Japan, too, like the full Gundam booth.
That's pretty much what I was thinking of in my idea. There was a pizza place in the town I grew up in that had an arcade next door. The pizza place wound up buying the arcade and putting an entryway in the wall between the two. So it had a full-scale arcade and not just a Pacman machine and a broken pinball machine tucked away in some corner like most places. If you just ordered a couple pizzas instead of going for the buffet, you could go next door and blow a few quarters while you waited.
Also, we need big, awesome public parks. The town I live in now has several parks but they're all comprised of one or two swingsets and a slide. The town I was born in had the most amazing parks. The best one had a real train engine you could go inside and play around on, a jungle gym shaped like a submarine, slides of all different sizes, carousel-horse-shaped swings you moved by pushing a bar forward and backward, and a zipline. It was freaking AWESOME.
I can't do Laser Quest because of all the flishy flashy. ^^ Can we do what they do in Poole's Tower Park, and have a massive but very contained water park/pool alongside with a huge selection of great fountains and rivers and flumes? Oooh!! And an ice-skating rink, and have we mentioned the cinema yet?
Dude, I about cried when they shut down the Qzar I used to practically LIVE in. I'd just figured out a way to climb up and hide in the barrel hazards too.
I used to terrify people when I played Lazer Tag. It was probably my habit of coming barreling out of the haze in the air-- often down ramps or around corners-- while yelling some fearsome battle cry.
This is a guy 6'2" and 270+ pounds doing it, mind. Seeing something that big moving at you tends to scare people.
Granted, it also meant I was getting lit up like a Christmas tree, but I was usually doing it so my team could move up while I distracted the enemy.
Next time I play Lazer Tag, I'm almost guaranteed to start using Shouts or something. ("FOR ASGAAAAAAARRRRRRD!" or "BARUK KHAZAD!" are two I'm leaning towards.)
LONG HAVE I WAITED TO UNLEASH MY FURIOUS LAZER WRATH ON THE WORTHY. DO NOT DENY ME THIS.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M YELLING HELP I THINK MY CAPS LOCK IS STUCK ON oh wait there it goes.
