BrickTopia Park Train Station - Interior

Above is shown the north wing of the station.  At the far left is a small outdoor waiting area for those patrons who wish to admire the deconstructivist architecture while basking in the sun.  A patio cover in this area was requested but didn't fit with the designer's artistic vision.  Of the request, the architect commented "Shade is for ignorant plebeians.  Cultured individuals will be filled with artistic rapture as they experience the sun piercing through my work of fine art."  When asked what people should do who just want to get from one place to another and aren't in an artistic mood, the artist replied, "If you are not intellectually capable of appreciating my station, then you deserve to walk."

 

This is the south wing of the station.  Specially created "Aquazone" clocks have been placed at both sides of the station to inform patrons of the time.  

On the far right , blocked by an artistic, yet inconveniently placed deconstructivist beam, is a small ice cream stand.  In order to get to the park, BrickTopian citizens used to have to walk an entire block from the main transit terminal.  Now they can ride the train to the park, and enjoy ice cream while waiting for the return trip.  Luckily, LEGO minifigs never seem to get fat.

This recently married couple is waiting to go on their honeymoon.  There has been some friction in this relationship as the woman sports an exceedingly rare "horse-back-riding" minifig torso, while the man has a plain white variety.  The man is always afraid that the woman might run off with another guy with a similarly rare torso (such as those ninny Paradisa "waiter" minifigs).  

The situation is made worse because the woman won't let the man visit her work.  She says she rides horses for a living, but seems to bring home exceedingly large amounts of cash (rather than paychecks) and never seems to smell like horses when she comes home.  Hmm - I wonder why she is so evasive about her work???

Here, one can see the core interior of the station.  This portion of the building is completely enclosed and houses the ticket counter and indoor waiting area.  

The two construction figures are going on a hot vacation from Topsy-Turvy productions.  An advertisement for the vacation on the wall reads as follows:

 Topsy-Turvy Construction Holiday

Have you ever wished you could tell your boss what to do with his little manager's pencil and blue-prints?  He sits there all day in the comfy construction trailer while you work your butt off to make ends meat.

This vacation is your dream come true.  YOU get to sit with your feet up in our completely air conditioned construction trailer while a team of managers, complete with suit and ties scramble to meet your abusive demands.  Squeal in glee as they incompetently scurry about, failing to accomplish even the most simple tasks.  Watch as they catch their expensive Gucci shoes in wet concrete.  Laugh as they accidentally nail their ties to wooden beams.  Enjoy making last minute "alterations" to the blue-prints after they have already started.  Then, after a hard working day, you have the added option of firing one or even all of them.  Imagine your satisfaction in seeing a manager begging you not to can him and promising to do a better job tomorrow.

The deluxe package includes an added bonus.  At a random time during the day, you'll be visited by our stand-in girlfriend.  Outfitted with a rare Paradisa bathing suit or horseback riding (!?) torso, our girls will strut their stuff past right past your hoard of jealous, whistling managers and prance right into your construction trailer.  Its good to be the boss.  It can't hurt to take a little break during the day now can it? The surprise visit continues with a long, enjoyable back message in your comfy leather chair.  From there, who knows what might happen?  (Note:  This is something you must negotiate with your "girlfriend."  For legal reasons, Topsy Turvy productions cannot be a party to any other activities beyond the back massage.  What two adults do in a cozy construction trailer is up to mother nature, as well as any cash you might choose to bring along.)

One might imagine that this holiday might make workers a bit difficult to manage, but it seems to have the opposite effect.  Workers return from vacation refreshed, exceedingly happy, and free of stress.  In fact, studies have shown that their productivity after such vacations goes up dramatically.  Because of this, several construction firms have actually began to encourage and even subsidize these vacations.
