06. LEISURE -- Rides and virtual reality games for children of all ages. Most of the games are non-violent and most of them are new to this country. Predictions of what will be the new games of the 21st Century are thin on the ground. The rides fit the Prime Minister's requirements for them to be "pink-knuckle" rather than "white-knuckle" (shame about that) but the kids who tested them out before opening day seemed to enjoy them. Gusvion Holdings have really gone to town in what is predicted will be the most popular zone in the Dome. No sign of Pierson McAndelsen's famous "Surferball" game anywhere, though!
INFORMATION POINT
07. EDUCATION -- A classroom of the future with interactive virtual reality zones offering the chance to experience various careers including pop star and the ever popular train driver. The concept of "lifelong learning" is promoted heavily and there are lots of computers connected to educational websites.

INFORMATION POINT
09. SPIRITUAL ZONE -- The development of religion and spirituality over the last 2,000 years - using Christianity as a reference pointer to other faiths. There is a contemplation zone, and a 10-minute music and laser show in a pyramid-shaped theatre.
