<b>Science Fiction</b>
<i>-n</i>

<i>a literary genre that makes imaginative use of scientific knowledge or conjecture.</i>


Science fiction is a very unique branch of literature - it represents the crossroads between fantasy and the future. In Jules Verne's 19th century world, the future, while no less remarkable, was much more ornate. Scientific advances were engineered through the stylings of a Victorian lens, and the wonders of Captain Nemo' s secret base were no exception. Here in Vulcania, functionality is allowed to be elegant in its own right, birthing a world in which strict mechanics are an aesthetic wonder to behold.

Suffice to say, DisneySea's <i>Mysterious Island</i> is very unique, and no other Disney theme park has anything like this. It's so fantastic that I found it hard to stay away during my trip, and even harder not to take pictures. DisneySea has other ports themed to Italy, New York, Arabia, and so on, and while they're all wonderful they're also accessible by way of reality. The remarkable fusion of elegance and engineering is found only in the minds of visionaries such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, not to mention many of the Imagineers.

Thank heavens the latter decided to build what they envisioned.
