The Gold Saucer is quite simply the ultimate in entertainment. It includes six areas of fun and excitement for the entire family. It is managed by the famous strongman Dio. Admission to the Gold Saucer is only 300 gil for a day pass, or 30,000 gil for a lifetime pass.
Getting There and Around
The Ropeway Station, located on the outskirts of North Corel, is your entry point into the Gold Saucer. There is no fare necessary to ride the Ropeway. One you arrive at the Gold Saucer's own Ropeway Station, just pay your admission and you will have your choice of seven areas of fun! These seven areas are connected to each other via a series of transport chutes, all of which are clearly labeled. If you ever get lost, a map of the entire facility is available at the Station hub.
About GP
GP is a special currency that can only be usedat the Gold Saucer. Most of the rides and attractions accept only GP. To earn GP, one needs only to win at the Chocobo Races held in Chocobo Square, or play certain games found in Wonder Square. If you own your own Chocobo, you may participate in the race and get win tickets for your own chocobo for free. If you wish to race your own chocobo, you will need to speak with Ester, the manager of Chocobo Square.
The Seven Squares
Event Square - Home to plays, concerts, and special events, Event Square is entertainment central. On the Loveless Players annual tours, they always perform to packed houses when they're here!
Chocobo Square - Get all of your Chocobo racing action right here! Racing on two customized virtual courses, our Chocobos will either make you or break you. Do you dare to gamble on our Chocos? (A tip from this writer: a bet on Joe and his star Choco Teioh is always a sure bet!)
Round Square - This Square features a gondola ride (only costing 2 GP) which will take you on a tour of all of the sights of the Gold Saucer. The views are spectacular!
Speed Square - The home of the Shooting Coaster, an exciting roller coaster ride combined with a shooting gallery game. This ride costs 10 GP. If you get more than 3000 points at the end, you may win a prize!
Ghost Square - Here you can relax in our creepy Ghost Hotel for only 5 GP. After you're well rested, enter the Hotel Shop and Mr. Hangman will take care of you... BWA HA HA HA!
Battle Square - Arm yourself and fight head to head against some of the toughest monsters in the world! Beware though, your handicap increases with every battle! When you're finished giving the monsters your best shot, check out Dio's Trophy Room, a personal collection of strange and unusual items from around the world. Just added to the collection: The Keystone of the Ancients!
