Chapter 3: AquaDome

Flash!: Neo Tokyo and Salty Shores had a baby, and they named it Aqua Dome.

OK, so maybe not as dramatic as that, but with its bright neon colors and soothing ambiance it is like the best aspects of our previous stops were melded together... and then sunk it into the sea.Aqua Dome (below) It's got a liquid sky!Though touted, by Rocket League execs as 'the crown jewel' of the Rocket League franchise, Aqua Dome has also been called the most 'controversial and dangerous of Rocket League venues' by consumer watchdog groups.In fact, the official opening was delayed for months, when one of the arena's main support struts suddenly sank into the sandy bottom causing several of the arena's large glass panels to crack then quickly break. The Flipbirds, a 3 person Diamond Level team who were practicing on the pitch at the time, were instantly drowned. Now they say that the pitch is haunted, and that sometimes, when the huge metal structure groans in the current, you can hear eerie little voices yell "noooooo...!"(above) The AquaDome Rest StopUnlike our 2 previous stops, there are no residences or private businesses surrounding Aqua Dome. The general lack of air would be the main reason, but there is also the tremendous responsibility and constant expense of maintaining the structures so that another 'Flipbirds fiasco ' never happens again.It was a hard learned lesson but the folks at Rocket League want you to know that,and will be able to view the matches, as well as the beautiful and surreal sea.*The designated structures are: The Aqua Dome Arena and spectator domes, The Rest Stop, The Gift Shop, and The Bends (a bar.) (above) Looking through a rest stop porthole.(right) The Archway Ah, but if you've got a good set of lungs, and a little lust for adventure, I say it's well worth the risk.To see... the weird, the beautiful, the mysterious... the colors, the crazies... the sublime... Or a maybe even a whale wearing rocket car decals as temporary tattoos!WTF?hmmm.. Might've traveled out a little too far.. stumbled upon some kinda dumping site.So, yeah.....Anyway, thanks for your attention and hope you all enjoy the new Rocket League Diamond Certified Rest Stops.Also, don't forget to check out the gift shop.
