| | Hippodromes date back all the way to the Ancient Greek isles, as stadiums where horses, or more commonly chariots, were raced for entertainment. The design has lasted, largely unchanged, even into modern times, and may in fact be responsible for NASCAR drivers taking left turns all day. Outside Locke's Labs, with great assistance from [[rigilg|Gearwerks]], the hippodrome has finally made it to Paradox! The hippodrome serves two purposes, and enjoys easy access to the nether. |

| Locke's Lab is helpfully located near the center of the map, and the hippodrome has convenient and safe access to the nether nearby. While looking at the main gate, turn left to see the portal to the hippodrome. Getting a horse //into// the Nether may be tricky, but going through the hippodrome gate is safe. A horse on lead may be led straight into the gate. The best way to take a saddled horse through, is to ride into the portal, then hop off. Either way, take the same gate to the Mundus once your trusty steed has made the jump. | Locke's Lab is helpfully located near the center of the map, and the hippodrome has convenient and safe access to the nether nearby.

| | While the technical circuitry behind the hippodrome is unsurprisingly the work of ManaLocke, the idea for the hippodrome itself came from Gaiden, and the aesthetic design was 99.9% the labor of [[rigilg| Rigil Gearwerks.]] |
