Amazonia Arena
Rio de Janeiro, Brazilian Empire
An arena built by a group of Brazilian weapon manufacturers atop an actual
river, the Amazonia Arena was modeled to use the river and its contributing
streams. Cars, cycles, and trikes are the mainstay dueling vehicles, but there
are the occasional hovercraft duels. The Amazonia runs a normal schedule from
April to October. Obviously, due to its shape, the arena is nicknamed "The
River" by duelists and fans, and it is part of the Banana Circuit.

Arena Features:
The arena floor is covered with grass and the ramps with dirt. Both are
considered off-road surfaces. Arena walls are 15 feet high and have 60 DP.
The four jumps are angled at 45 degrees. Gates are 10 feet high, have 10
DP, and will open when rammed. Grandstands along the arena edge hold 20,000.
Arena defenses consist of a universally-turreted VMG in each corner.
The River:
Running down the center of the arena is the river. Sloping down to fifteen
feet deep in the center, the river flows north to south at 10 mph.
The Streams:
The four streams are three feet deep and run at 5 mph.
