1986 - House of the Future: Week 4

[Chaos Cat]

I’m fine with anything. Just sign me up for anything that needs people

> Put Unit with Nate

This has been a productive day of honing in on a concept and fleshing out our content! Now for deliverables. Who wants to do what? (In parenthesis I’m making assumptions about certain players)

General Land Description & Thematic Mission Statement (@Pi on my Cake)

Outdoor Area Description

Indoor Area Description

It’s a Small World E-ticket (@NigelChanning09 & someone else?)

Tower of the Four Winds Flat Ride

Facade Clockwork Flat Ride

Garden of Unity (@NigelChanning09)

Gallery Walkthrough (@DashHaber)

Live Singalong (@PerGron)

Dining (@Outbound)

Retail

---

Also, for a concept like Small World the visual style really goes a long way. As many of us should attempt some artwork, regardless of skill level or medium. Especially for a smaller world like this, that’ll really sell it!

I can do either flat ride!

Everything seems to be taken already... can I do a flat ride?

Since B & @NateD1226 are teaming up, how would you like to tackle the indoor and outdoor descriptions as a team?

I can do either flat ride!

Done! Do either of you have flat ride preference? Or would you like to work on both as a duo?

I think I'd like to do the Tower of the Four Winds one, if that's okay.

Since no one else wanted it, I’m doing retail...the sweetest plum of all! Also I’ll be doing artwork for the land; would love it if several of us could. Do these roles work for everyone?

 

[Brer Panther]

Works for me!

That's great!

If anyone wants another person to help with their section, I’m more than happy to help. I want to make up for my absence in brainstorming.

No need at all to apologize for your absence. Perfectly understandable.

Would you feel up to doing some artwork? If we get multiple artists, we can do the exterior facade, the interior space, both flat rides, and maybe even an on-ride image!

And of course there’s always the webpage. That’s something you’re good at, Nate.

I haven’t drawn in months so I’m not sure they would be good, but i’ll give it a shot lmao. And yes, I’ll add to the site later.

General question for everybody: Is this sub-land going to be in between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland? I have an idea that would make it a good transition between the two if it's going there.

 

[spacemt354]

Wow, ok, that had a LOT more pushback than I thought.

I will say though, I still feel like keeping the standard IASW format with a couple touch-ups is a waste of an opportunity. I would dare to say the current brainstorming I'm hearing is close to copying the original, since the real-life ride is basically all about a closer-connected world/unity. Having a conflict/resolution would be a more powerful, more resonant message on unity or whatever we are trying to communicate rather than having it shoved in your face 100% of the time.

Also, the concept art wasn't what I had in mind, I was just trying to visually communicate my idea (I suck at drawing) and that was the only thing I could think of to get there.

That's my two cents. I don't want to sound salty, and I'll 100% jump on rehashing the original ride with touch-ups if that's the final consensus, but I just think having a bit more "flavor" could really improve the experience here.

Hey props to you for having the courage to post the idea. It might not be the direction of choice, but your teamwork is noted

Absolutely between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland; the theme of utopian global unity fits perfectly there. Let’s hear your transition idea!

 

[Brer Panther]

What should we call this land? All I can think of is "Small World Square", and I feel like that's a bit too on-the-nose...

We’re going to move forward with the dual track system. The riders in the boats will pass through scenes reflecting the real life culture of the individual countries to give it a world showcase vibe. The riders flying above will pass by scenes of the legends and folktales from the countries like Magic Carpets, the Loch Ness Monster, and different mythology. Finally, the different tracks would intersect at the end of the attraction.

That could work! Here are some other potential names, off the top of my head

• World of Laughter
• World of Cheer
• Children's Plaza
• Cheerland
• One World Plaza (or Square)
• Papercraft Square
• Four Winds Square (or Plaza)

But the more I think about it, the more I realize there's only one name that really fits imo... It's a Small World. Might be confusing with an attraction of the same name, but it's the only one I can think of that ties everything together.

Maybe just call it “The Small World”?
