Changes: Delos Theme Park (1973)

Revision as of 09:18, 4 June 2020

Delos is the name of the theme park in 1973's Westworld and 1976's Futureworld. Similar to Disneyland or smaller theme parks, it initially contains three "worlds" or "resorts" (smaller parks): Medieval World, Roman World and Westworld.

Delos shuts down after the "turmoil" in Westworld. Chuck Browning spins the malfunction and disaster as being contained only with in Westworld. After two years and an expenditure of $1.5 billion, Delos reopens, minus Westworld, but with the addition of two new worlds: Spa World and Futureworld, having replaced "every circuit, every program, every robot."

Park

Geography

Outside World

Delos requires travel by hovercraft over what appears to be a vast desert to reach its facilities.

Inside World

As seen from maps in Westworld, and from the chase scene, all Delos Parks are within walking (possibly extended) distance of each other. Park employees use maintenance carts and delivery vans to travel throughout the parks. Newly arrived visitors are transported from the hovercraft terminal to park entrances at the resort hub by visitor trams.

Branding

Logo

The Delos Logo appears similar to a Yin-Yang symbol. However, a Yin-Yang symbol has two parts and is colored black and white, while the Delos logo has three parts, and is colored red (representing Medieval World), yellow (representing Roman World), and blue (representing Westworld). This is overlaid with a white, three-pronged equilateral symbol. Sometimes, this logo is encircled by the park's logo and tagline.
