Hey, there. First, I think I may do some slight revisions on the Plaza of Fortune write-up. Now that we have the island's backstory, it seems like Pasha Coskun would be a good character to base that statue around in the attraction. Does that sound good? Should I make the change, or is it fine as is?
In the meantime, I have two snack stand ideas.
Baobab Bounties
Within this large, hollowed-out baobab tree stands a snack shack that is devoted to providing travelers with a healthy treat. Fruit juices and fruit smoothies offer a refreshing option to drink, while small dishes of fruit salad offer some pleasant variety on which to munch. For those looking for something a little sweeter, they can enjoy a Maori classic in the form of paraoa parai (fried Maori bread). Whether healthy or a little indulgent, guests can enjoy a meal that is simple in form but full in flavor.
Flavors of Import
The streets of Harika Sehir can be a busy place, with traders and explorers coming from all over to take advantage of Motu Wairua’s riches. Different cultures and tastes can come together, such as at this row of snack stands. United under one business name, the stands offer a variety of treats. A Greek stand offers up tomatokeftedes (fried tomato balls) and spanakopita, while a neighboring Middle Eastern stand serves up grilled kebabs. Most astounding is a stand offering a treat said to combine tropical flavor with a winter chill…the Dole Whip!

It is great as it is, but I might be a little biased just because I added your original writeup into the website like 5 minutes ago lmao. But if you feel like you need to change it, then go ahead and lmk so I can fix the changes.

No worries. It's not a major thing. We can keep it as is, as the point would come across either way.

Website editing no work for me, so I'm posting the Retail write-up in here. @NateD1226, would you be a mensch and get it into the website please?
OTTOMAN BAZAAR
Apparel, toys, collectibles and more
Ottoman Bazaar is the land’s centerpiece shop, and one of the central features of Harika Sahir. The stranded merchants built this elaborate retail complex from local materials, resulting in a monumental coral stone foundation in the style of Zanzibar’s Stone Town. Classic Islamic Ottoman architecture defines the structure, with arched entries and vaulted domes formed from clay bricks and plastered in mud. Elaborate, ornate tile work of pearl and gemstones and lapis lazuli throughout lend opulence. Massive beechwood doors with wrought iron accents lead inside.
The sprawling interior borrows heavily from Istanbul’s famed Grand Bazaar, with a maze-like grid of vaulted halls dividing the space. Merchants have the Bazaar divided by product, with sections devoted to textiles or spices or brassworks. Of course that’s simply the thematic detailing on display; for guests these sub-shops separate apparel from toys from collectibles. Dangling brass lanterns light the Bazaar, with colors filtering through multihued gemstones. The cracked walls teem with woven oriental rugs.
Overhead and in display windows and atop centerpiece cases, more decorative details stand out. Take for example skeletons of the island’s bizarre creatures, or the stuffed dodo bird imported from Mauritius. Near the center, guests play with a large interactive hookah, producing noises and steam. Underneath a tower atrium, light shafts illuminate a giant gong. A massive diamond from the island’s mines rests near checkout.
Vegetable Lamb of Tartary
The Bazaar’s collectibles department features live artisans and glassblowers. A display window outside lets passing guests watch fine glasswares get made. Additional windows feature kinetic displays. Consider the display of enchanted Ottoman instruments (like the tanbur lute or the kanun zither) which seemingly play themselves. Another display features the Bazaar’s strangest sight of all, a Vegetable Lamb of Tartary (animatronic) - spoken of in Indian Ocean myths, this is a cotton plant which bears living sheep as fruit.
MERCHANT TRADERS
Accessories & seasonal merchandise
When the merchants were marooned on Adventure Atoll, their trade ship was split in two by the jagged rocks. That jagged ship now sits beached on the shores, resting askew on those same rocks. Meandering pathways lead inside, curving around wave-formed granite rocks like those on Seychelles. Ever the entrepreneur, the captain converted the waterlogged interior into the Merchant Traders shop.
Merchandise is arranged around a large baobab tree which has grown up and through the hull. Furniture and display cases are made from repurposed ship parts, from objects like the past and poles and liferafts. Treasure chests sit everywhere. Sea charts plot Indian Ocean spice routes, with warnings against entering a certain fog bank. Dried-out blowfish now serve as lanterns.
One cannot help but notice how the tides are slowly claiming this space. Starfish pile atop a golden scale. A coral reef grows around the dislodged bowsprite. Merchant Traders’ most noteworthy sight - something which will draw even non-shoppers into this store - are the animatronic Kraken tentacles which pulsate and crush the hull near checkout.
SAVAGE SALVAGE
Novelties & Atlantis-themed items
Savage Salvage, a post-ride shop for
ATLANTIS RIDE , peddles all manner of treasures dredged up from the ocean floor. The proprietor, Mr. Abdul Savage, operates his small, haphazard outdoors shop around a freshly-risen submersible. The sub is a homemade 19th-century design, made from wood, shaped like a wine barrel, and actively leaking seawater. Beside it are a diving bell and diving suit of a similar vintage. Over the craft’s tinny radio, Mr. Savage can be heard on an active dive.
The retail space is arranged like a “pop-up shop,” with crates and barrels under tarps displaying the merchandise. Several of the items on display are familiar from the ride, ranging from small artifacts all the way up to a massive chunk of a Lemurian building. Other salvaged relics cover a range of cultures - Greek, Persian, Indian. There are marble statues covered in barnacles, and a treasure chest which occasionally opens up to reveal a massive clam inside. Don’t try to grab the pearl!
Overall, Savage Salvage is a small space, but one bursting with personality befitting its owner and the nearby underseas adventure.
ROTORUA RETAIL
Souvenirs, light-up items, Polynesian-themed novelties
Adventure Atoll’s smallest retail cart is found in the quaint Maori village. The checkout cart and adjoining merchandise wagon are formed from a thatch-roofed longhouse. There are a few additional details in the surrounding area, including Liki Tiki totems, Polynesian idols carved into the base of palm trees, and simply a big stacked pyramid of coconuts.
Retailers drum up consumer interest quite literally, with a Maori war drum performance. Warriors perform a ceremonial haka dance upon a stage. Streetmosphere such as this can do a lot to make a place feel far more real and lived-in.

The Atlantis Ride is Siren Escape! Forgot to post that last night!
Alright, I couldn't work much yesterday because I had to crunch to finish my Steps in Time video. But that's all good now. Scheduled to go live at 3:14 EST. I don't gotta do anything else there.
I gotta write the final One Sentence Comp Retrospective and get that posted. Then get some lunch. Then I'm all in here to finish my part and help if anyone needs it.

Is there any word on what happened to the other half of the ship? The atlantis ride goes through a sunken shipwreck near its start, was thinking it could be the other half of this ship.

@Mickeynerd17 , do you think you take a large aerial shot of all your progress so far? Doesn't have to be anything completed, just so I know what to base my map on. Thanks!
@PerGron I think I fixed the gifs... try it now?
