Japanese theme park to launch floating sleeping capsules

A Japanese theme park is creating floating sleeping capsules to allow visitors to drift along to different attractions while they snooze. Huis Ten Bosch, in Sasebo, Japan, is developing the novel service with the upper half of the two-storey spherical structures designed as a bedroom and the lower section a bathroom. By the end of the year, the Dutch-themed park hopes guests will be able to stay overnight in the capsule while travelling to an island where they can explore its various attractions. The operator aims to draw tourists with its adventurous attractions and augmented reality technology across the 39,000sqm uninhabited island in Omura Bay, four miles southwest of its main theme park area in Nagasaki. According to Bloomberg, there are plans to use the island for survival games where toy guns can be used.
