Every year the kingdom banishes its eldest citizens, yet somehow manages to survive from generation to generation. How strange this all is, and how much like Paradise it seems!

Upon request, the company also supplies balloons and a magical red carpet. Only available on weekends, the stretch Navigator is already booked for the upcoming prom season.
