“You can’t cheat your way into heaven – or lie your way out of hell.”
Eleven souls, suicide victims resulting from various issues including: bullying, unwanted teen pregnancy, drug addiction, and sexual abuse awaken from a cocoon-like state, to find themselves on a mysterious realm named Destaris. An Oshlu (spirit guide), named Maree, has been appointed to assist the fallen souls, who are universally intertwined through life experience. The teens must complete their self-interrupted spiritual journey in order to free themselves from the limbo-like realm and move on to the next. Oblivious to their soul’s true desire, they are put through a series of tests that will ultimately deliver them, one by one, through a porthole to their final destination, Heaven or Hell. The group, quite content being free of their earth burdens, soon realize that they cannot escape their biggest nightmare: the inability to escape themselves. They race against time to complete their testing for spiritual growth, for the longer they remain on Destaris, the more they must cope with the return of their former earth burdens. On Destaris, these past hardships re-emerge with a cruel psychedelic twist, as the realm holds unknown bizarre powers beyond those of a simple Earth. Many resist cooperating, for fear of being claimed by the Devil, and become deeper entrenched within their limbo state. This frustrates Maree, as she needs to free every trapped soul in Destaris before she is freed herself. She loses patience when several become uncooperative, tempting her to force the teens out through any porthole she can.

Genre: Travel | Biographies & Memoirs

Who would have thought back in 1946 that a small, struggling machine shop named Arrow Development would change the way the world would have fun? In today’s setting of themed environments and multi-million dollar attractions, it is hard to picture what the amusement industry was like right after the Second World War. Theme parks did not exist. “Kiddielands” were popular, but small and crude. Larger amusement parks, such as those at Coney Island, were becoming a bit ragged and seedy. Valuable raw materials went to war, not to pleasure. What was left after the war was in short supply and extremely expensive.
Ed and Karl’s accomplishments are indeed stunning when viewed as a whole. Their association with Walt Disney lasted for nearly twenty years, and resulted in Arrow having a hand in numerous ride systems for Disney up until the opening of Walt Disney World. They created dark rides, boat rides, car rides, and a group of circling pachyderms named Dumbo. But the most important contribution to Disneyland by Ed and Karl was the Matterhorn Mountain Bobsleds. Before 1959, roller coasters were either wooden or small steel structures built of flat iron rails. The duo decided that to simulate a bobsled, none of these options would work. Instead, they came up with an entirely new system, where low slung vehicles would ride on polyurethane wheels over a tubular steel track. Thus, the modern roller coaster was born. Today, every tubular steel roller coaster in the world can trace its lineage back to Ed and Karl.
