Living with the Land of Mobius (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

Living with the Land of Mobius (originally Listen to the Land of Mobius) is a ride located within Mobiusland, a theme park and resort complex located on Mobius. It is located in the Mobocot section of the resort. It is a slow-moving boat ride, which is part dark-ride and part greenhouse tour. The focus on the ride is on agriculture, especially new technology to make agriculture more efficient and environmentally friendly to the planet of Mobius.
==Summary==
The dark-ride portion of the attraction opens with a scene of a deciduous forest in the middle of a thunderstorm, illustrating how the forces that shape the land can appear destructive to the Mobians. The boat then sails through artificial biomes representing a tropical rainforest, a desert and the Erinian prairie. The biomes feature sound and lighting effects, in addition to heat, wind and mist, to simulate real conditions. The boats float through a small theater that illustrates the relationship between Mobians and the environment, and the ways that they have been modifying the land of their planet to better serve their purposes before and after the fall of the Robotnik Empire.
The second part of the attraction takes place in a place called a "Living Laboratory", which showcases ideas about the future of agriculture on Mobius. There are five distinct areas of the "living laboratory" which includes the Tropic Greenhouse, Aqua-cell, Temperate Greenhouse, String Greenhouse, and the Creative Greenhouse. It also contains the Biotechnology Lab and the Integrated Pest Management Lab. All of the plants in this section are grown through various methods of hydroponics. Plants are grown in sand, perlite, coconut coir, and rockwool.
The ride concludes with a lighted collage of people and produce from all over Mobius, along with a projection of Mobius as seen from space.
== Distinct areas of the "living laboratory" ==
# Tropics Greenhouse - features crops from the tropical areas of the world, both home and abroad. Plants on display include Mobian equivalents to banana, cacao, jackfruit, date palm, dragon fruit, vanilla, cleome, pineapple, java apple, and papaya.
# Aqua-cell - focuses on aquaculture, or "fish farming", containing several high-density tanks and a few low-density display tanks and tubes. Animals on display include mobini rquivalents to fish like tilapia, sturgeon, paddlefish, catfish, see bass, and shrimp. Others include Erinian alligator. Some of the fish harvested from the Aqua-cell are served in the Coral Reef Restaurant in The Seas with Nanora & Friends pavilion.
# Temperate Greenhouse (formerly the Desert Greenhouse) - features crops from temperate climates. Currently, it showcases large-sized crops, such as Prizewinner and Atlantic Giant pumpkins, winter melon, pomelo, and "Nine-pound Lemon." Besides are sunflowers, beets, turnips, cottons and millets.
# String Greenhouse (formerly the Production Greenhouse) - focuses on innovative high-density techniques, such as Nutrient film technique. It also shows off "vertical growing techniques", in which herbaceous plants e.g. eggplant, peppers, winged bean, lettuce and snake gourd are grown on specialized trellises to approximate the shape and structure of trees. One famous example is The Land's "tomato tree", which produced over 32,000 tomatoes within 16 months, recognized by Guinness World Records as both the largest and most productive tomato plant in the world. Furthermore, specific molds cultivate Mickey Mouse-shaped cucumbers and pumpkins. Much of the products grown in the String Greenhouse is used in the Garden Grill and Sunshine Seasons, both restaurants in The Land pavilion. In total, over 30 tons of produce are harvested from The Land each year.
# Creative Greenhouse - The final greenhouse in the attraction exhibits unusual concepts about the future of agriculture. One of them is that most of the plants in Creative House are grown via Aeroponics, in which a fine mist of water and nutrients is sprayed directly onto the roots of the plants. The roots dangle freely in the air, free from growing medium. Some of the plants' roots in Creative House are enclosed within rotating columns and A-frame structures, while others are completely exposed to the open air, at least temporarily, so the entire plant may be viewed by the guests on the boat ride. It also features a small exhibit of NASA hydroponic growing units, which were developed for use on extended-length space journeys, with tomato, squash, lettuce, basil, rosemary, cabbage, super-dwarf wheat, Swiss chard, marigold, and snapdragon, etc. on display.
# Biotechnology Lab - Attached to the Creative Greenhouse, the Biotechnology Lab is a sterile research environment. Several USDA scientists are on-site at The Land, performing research on crop improvement. The Land also produces a product called "Mickey's Mini Gardens" in the Biotechnology Lab, which are available for purchase in several locations in Epcot.
# Integrated Pest Management Lab - An Entomology laboratory that raises beneficial insects for use in The Land and abroad. Though invisible on the boat ride, it is visited during the Behind the Seeds backstage tour. Insects raised here include tiny, stingless parasitoid wasps and ladybugs.
==Sample of narration==
"Here at Mobocot, we’re learning to reduce the need for pesticides by using natural predators like ladybugs and wasps to control pests. In Nikon, we’re learning that by adding composted leaves and other plant material to our soil, we can reduce the need for fertilizers. In farmlands across Erina, we’re learning that by plowing under vegetation containing natural fertilizers, we can enrich the soil without the use of chemicals. In Arabica and Azteca, we’re learning to produce food on desert seacoasts by developing and planting crops that thrive on saltwater."
