Well if you are going to talk about gimmick features that could be
advertised it will have to be something as spectacular as that and not
merely a quiet place to sit or a moving walkway or a movie theatre.
The only thing I could think of under that criteria (and I haven't
really been able to figure out how they could do it) is horseback
riding. Maybe they could just have a bucking bull thing like some
bars in TX.
And if you can water ski off the back of the ship, how about also
parasailing off the back of the ship?
Maybe along side of the flow rider, they could have a stationary lap
pool (one where you swim against the water going by you while you are
basically stationary instead of swimming to the end and turning around
and swimming back). Might require a harness to stay in place.
I think what I'd like is the full schedule of sat TV and Tivo. But
that's not what they'd want to advertise.
