You are, of course, playing the latest offering from the kingdom's most underappreciated boardgame creator, Video Kojima. You're probably the only one here who sees his genius in making games that can be played without having to deal with another actual human being.
One day you might even win one of them. That day is not today, however. You haven't even made it close to removing the large metal gear in the center of the game board; you barely made it turn twice before losing.
So naturally, you're looking for something else to do.

And you're suddenly struck by a brilliant idea. You're looking for another source of amusement - so why not build a place specifically to amuse you?
You can probably even convince your mother to pay for the whole thing if you tell her that it's for a plan to take the throne. Yes, that would be perfect. Maybe you can even hire Video to design the place, he's good at entertaining you. You take a few moments to admire the sheer brilliance of this plan.

I shut off the spy camera. I'd seen enough, and I was tired of sarcastically describing Milton's actions.
Using my games to spy on the Prince had turned out to be a complete waste of time. He never did anything interesting, and he wasn't even learning the lessons I had included in them that would prepare him to be a great King. No, he was only concerned with his own entertainment.
Still, there was some good news in all that. I was, after all, about to get a significant amount of money in exchange for devising my greatest masterpiece. I might not be shaping the direction of the kingdom, as I'd planned, but becoming rich was hardly an unacceptable outcome.
Naturally, I started making blueprints for the park immediately. Milton, simpleton as he was, would be impressed that I was already working on exactly what he wanted.
To begin with, what would be the central attraction of this park?
