Its facilities were state-of-the-art in contemporary entertainments and methods of relaxation offering a wide variety of different possibilities such as: non-gravity swimming pools and sleep-reading stations, accelerated learning experiences, and possibly robotic gladiatorial games.
Its main competitors at the time was the Leisure Hive on Argolis, Fiesta 95 and Midnight. (DW: The Leisure Hive, Midnight)
