Plaza of Fortune

Among the Ottoman Settlement, guests find an enclosed structure in the middle of a marketplace. The structure has several pillars supporting the arches, which in turn hold up an exquisite roof that is detailed in gold and topped with a shining spire on its dome. There is an entrance that extends from this shaded structure, where guests walk in. As they follow the queue along its fenced path under the rooftop, two signs are built into some of the pillars. One reads Welcome to the Plaza of Fortune, where we come together to celebrate the wondrous bounty and treasure bestowed upon us by this miraculous island. The other says This plaza stands in tribute to Farouk Servet, who discovered this land and helped us to reap its benefits.

Once ready, a gate opens up for guests to enter the main area under the structure. Placed all around are large goblets colored in silver or gold, and adorned with various jewels. At the center of all the goblets is a statue of a man, standing tall and firm, but with a smug air about him. His hands are raised, showing off the rings adorning his fingers. This is a statue of Farouk Servet. Guests will find their way to a goblet and climb on in. Once everyone is seated and the goblet doors are closed, the goblets begin to spin as they whirl around the statue. Music fills the air, while guests can control the spin of their goblets with turn wheels at their center. Eventually, the goblets slow down and the music fades away, the revelries coming to an end as guests unload and head to the exit.
