Westworld is a park owned by Delos Incorporated and was the first park[1] to be built.
Description[]
Guests pay to immerse themselves in a carefully crafted simulation of the American Wild West. The control center for the park is inside a large mesa. In the episode, "The Original" it is revealed that there were 1,400 guests in the park at that time. Guests begin in the middle of the park and, the further out guests go, the more demanding and difficult the experience. Within the park are villages, towns, homesteads, rivers, farms, ranches, and other points of interest that simulate a region of the 19th century American Southwest. These points of interest are populated by hosts. Hosts are lifelike androids built by the park and used to act out story-lines and narratives. The hosts interact with each other and with the guests as part of their individual narrative loops; although some hosts have been known to stray from their loops.
By design, guests cannot be killed or hurt by hosts. The firearms in Westworld use a low-velocity technology and ammunition similar to the simunitions (for "simulated munitions") used by the U.S. military for training purposes in 2016. The guests choose whether they want to "go white hat" or "go black hat", and decide which narrative or storylines they want to pursue. Guests pay over $40,000 per day to visit Westworld.
