This is a night club with a linear design, so that you progress through it from a start point towards an end point.
This provides the operator with more creative control of the experience so that, for example, the music (and lighting) in different parts of the club could be related in the same way
as different movements of a symphony.
The dance floors should be made up of travelators at different speeds, some of them barely moving at all. Sometimes you would be overtaken on the inside by a cocktail bar.
At the end would be the option of a return journey on a poorly-lit underground monorail with subdued white noise piped in to soothe the incipient tinnitus, and small Irish coffees concealed in random nooks.
This is to be built near the sea, where a tidal barrage, instead of generating electricity, will be geared directly into the travelators.
Dress code: no jam or bees.
will need these for full functionality

i like it... but i don't know why and that worries me. |
|

Will you build a version of this in Las Vegas ? |
|
| |
Is this a travelator bar, or a bar for line-dancing strippers? Both, perhaps? |
|
| |
No, no, no, it's only "strip" as in "strip mall", and "line dancing" as in "dancing along a line". Never mind. |

I went to a massive party in a donut shaped arena. You enter, turn left, and could walk forever. As you walk you enter different zones. It was similar in a way. It was linear in a circular sense. No return needed; it was infinite. |
|
| |
Very hard to meet people though, when they all walk the same way as you. |
|
| |
Well, that's why the travelators move at different speeds. And, of course, different people walk in different ways. |

I see I boned this, probably because made for the pun but I'm changing that. [+] |

Now what the hell was I doing back in '08 that I missed this? |
|
| |
I'm betting I was working and missed that week or so. |
