[edit] Publisher's Description

Hologram Fun World. It's a theme park visited by families from all across the galaxy. It's a place where Tash and Zak can safely hang out while Hoole continues his work. It's a place where daytime fun turns into nighttime terror. One of the park's attractions is called the Nightmare Machine. It scans your brain, then shows you your worst fears in holographic form. Hairy, creepy-crawly insects. Cyborrean battle dogs thirsting for blood. But it's not real, so it's fun-right? Wrong. As Zak and Tash will soon find out, nightmares can come true.

[edit] Notability

Hologram Fun World has been mentioned in a canonical New Jedi Order novel.

[edit] Trivia

  • The voice code for ending the nightmare machine is simply "End Simulation". Zak tried this in the story, with no success.
  • Lando Calrissian appears in the book. He is interested in purchasing Hologram Fun World.
