NuOrbis Brainstorming Thread - Project Seven: A Splash of Placemaking

[Outbound]

@Outbound, here's a map showing the current branch-off from the Rivers of America under the bridge to the Hungry Bear Restaurant and in the queue for Winnie the Pooh:

Yes, I took a bit of space away from the north and added to the south for the river just so there could be the courtyard. With the water expanded further down the Fishing Adventure had to go by the Hungry Hut.

I have an idea for some streetsmosphere relating to the Little Tensas Fishing Company outside the dark ride. Basically they’d be presenting some “automatic fisher” and invite people from the crowd to come test it out, only for it to constantly break and pull out old boots. Do you think I can add this to the project? I can do a quick write up.

Here's the Disney Parks Blog announcement for Winnie the Pooh's and "Mickey and the Magical Map's respective moves to Fantasyland and Stage 17 at DCA. I took the liberty of making up dates and "announcements" for the news on the sidebar.

EDIT: It seems the site shrank down the quality of the image, so let me know if we're going to use this in the presentation so I can give you the original hi-res file. @gam3rprincess @AceAstro

That is awesome! What if we used that as the image for the forum post with the doc link underneath it?

 

[AceAstro]

One thing we haven’t done yet that I can do quickly here:

You are NOT allowed to do a full write up of the actual Princess and the Frog attraction but are allowed to elaborate on how the facade, queue, and attraction entrance would function within your new area.

I just need help on what to name it

Hm, this is more about the Winnie the Pooh's move to Fantasyland. I can make a similar one for the Critter Country transformation one though! I'll make it look like Charita or Carmen wrote it for the Disney Parks Blog (since Imagineers sometimes do that).

I've been using Tiana's Riverboat Jubilee in the introduction, overview, and the mockup Disney Parks Blog post. Would that work?

Good point. We can include it in the doc where the Pooh write up is then. Might keep the forum post simple and just do

“Team NuOrbis presents...

(Your fabulous logo here)

bayou country (linked to doc)”

I will be making logos for everything!

Speaking of the Google Doc, how's that coming @gam3rprincess? If you're busy, I can make it instead so we already have a working document.

I will be making logos for everything!

Do you need help with that? I can pass you the link to the font I used for the Bayou Country logo + the color codes.

If you need any help on the writeup, AceAstro, I'll be glad to assist!

Here's a link to the workspace Google Doc. Just put everything in here so it's already consolidated for @gam3rprincess.

[Team NuOrbis] New Orleans Square - Bayou Country

Bonjour, mes amis! Welcome to the Bayou Country, the newest land in the Disneyland Resort and the very edge of New Orleans! Come explore the hidden wonders of this marshland and discover the magic of the swamp. As soon as you cross the stone bridge away from the hustle and bustle of New Orlean...

The main part of the Bayou Country overlay is the re-theming of Splash Mountain to Princess and the Frog.

Tiana's Riverside Jubilee will open in this spot. To match the rest of Bayou Country, the old barn entrance facade of Splash Mountain becomes a touched-up Bayou House welcoming all guests to a place that has been shown some love.

The queue features of softer jazz soundtrack in the background as guests make their way towards the loading platform.

I don't know how much we need for this so feel free anyone to add to this!

Lastly, a background music loop for the area:

I'll add a bit more:

Throughout the queue you see supplies for the Mardi Gras Festival such as instruments for the Firehouse Five Plus Lou, ingredients for what Mama Odie and Tiana are cooking up and costumes from Charlotte La Bouff. As you approach the loading area, you can peer through an opening to see the festivities. They're all ready for us, we just got to get there!

Working on formatting and design now

I am increasing the font size on everything, it will make for a longer seeming doc but it will improve readablility and i know the judges have pointed out issues with too small font before

Dp we want to go all in with S W A M P S A N T A cause I can do a write up based on a cajun night before christmas book i had

If we have time it would be a fun bonus but definitely the lowest priority

 

[montydysquith-navarro]

Heads up: I moved the Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes from East Critter Country to West CC since the islet construction for it should occur at the same time the new river is being made.

I'm loving how this is coming out! I've made six logos and am going to stop it there.

What else is there left to do? Looking it over, aside from a few touchups I think we are ready to post! And we have so much time to spare!
