S.E.A. Original Characters.

[pixie_princess]

So, if anyone saw in the latest SYWTBAI prompt, my ride introduced a new S.E.A. member and her best friend as well as her school rival. This thread will be used to write up there bios, as well as some mini stories, and also answering any questions. So that's all for now, i'm not used to doing things like this so I will probably be slow to update.

Enjoy!!!

Here is the write up that introduced my characters so no one has to go searching.

INNOVATORS

Aside from the (very sad) Kali River Rapids, Disney World is greatly lacking a raft ride. In all 4 parks there is just the one and lets be honest, there is a 50/50 chance you come off dry as a bone. Seeing as Florida gets crazy hot this seems like a real let down. So for my proposal I am bringing a Rainbow Ridge inspired story to the east coast with a new raft ride.

Rainbow Ridge Rapids

Rainbow Ridge. A majestic sight to see. With beautiful luminescent caverns, babbling brooks that catch the sun just right, and a paleontologists dream field of bones, S.E.A. member Olivia Stone is obsessed. Recent college graduate and duel major in geology and paleontology she quickly heard about Rainbow Ridge from the society. Wildly curious about this worldly wonder she set up camp in order to study the reasons behind the colorful land as well as hunt down some bones. However, university debt is catching up to her and she doesn't quite have enough contacts to make this work. So, setting up a lovely river raft ride in this beautiful land to bring in tourists and fund her exploration? Piece of cake.

The Queue

This raft exploration ride is a unique indoor/outdoor experience that fully immerses riders into the otherworldly magic that is Rainbow Ridge. The queue takes you through Olivia's base camp. Tons of archaeology tools and a mini laboratory sit beside a modest tent where guests can sometimes hear the static filled radio playing songs and sometimes incoming reports from other S.E.A. members around the globe. Also throughout the queue are scattered pictures Olivia has taken of the landscape, and sometimes selfies with her dino buddy, aptly named Buddy. As guests enter the loading area we can hear Olivia herself give a very important safety spiel; she worked this hard to get here, she can not risk a lawsuit on top of student debt.

The Ride

The ride starts on a slow moving path that takes you into the first cave. Here the ride works almost like Pirates of the Caribbean except spinning slowly due to the circular raft. Guests will meander through the beautiful sights inside these caves. Stalagmites and stalactites fill the caves with a soft bioluminescent glow in a full rainbow of colors. In some areas keen eyes can see some of Olivia's science thing-a-ma-bobs from where she left off studying. Looking down, the bottom of the water is filled with glowing smooth stones that some will swear change color before your very eyes. After a nice liesurely ride through the first cave, the raft gets caught by a conveyor belt and taken up up up as the waters start to get a bit rough.

We then hear Olivia reminding us once again to hold on over our walkie talkie that she left in one of the backpacks, because this is where the waters get rough. Suddenly a moderate sized drop and the ride is out of the cave and rushing past beautiful rock formations and... rainbow geysers???

Yeah... rainbow geysers. Olivia wasn't joking about this weird land. However we don't get to think about that long as we rush down a trio of smaller drops and pick up some speed as we head for yet another cave. Inside here we slow down again once more and take in the beautiful Triceratops fossil half uncovered set into the cave wall. This must be Olivia's friend Buddy. However like most things in Rainbow Ridge, observant guests will notice under the high powered lights set up by Olivia, the dinosaur seems to almost shimmer with color.

[Redacted]

Sadly Olivia is worried about her scientific arch nemesis Chad James finding out about Buddy, so all pictures stay on site until she is documented and credited.

After guests exit the second cave they are taken on a wild ride once again down another small duo drops and around one last geyser... that despite Olivia reassuring everyone that the geysers are inactive, EXPLODES and gives anyone who might be feeling a little dry some love. Guests then head back to the camp, get apologized to furiously by Olivia over the walkie, reminded to keep all pictures away from Chad James, and thanked greatly for their donation to the sciences.

The Area Around

This ride will sit past the exit of Big Thunder Mountain as we cut into some space around Tom Sawyers Island. There will also be a cheesy homemade drink stand selling magic potions** made from the rainbow water** in a whole set of colors and packaged in science beakers. Olivia in no way condones this drink stand, however her undergrad assistant and best friend Haley assures her than its a good idea, and the drinks are tasty enough Olivia pretends she doesn't notice. Plus the extra money is nice.

**Note: not actually made from rainbow rapids water. Also not magic. Instead very sweet and you get to keep the tiny beakers.​

Nice! Can't wait to see what you do!

Thanks!! Me either!!!

 

[pixie_princess]

Alright everyone!!! I know I started this and then kinda just... left. Life has been busy. But with getting into the elite eight over at SYWTBAI, the prompt for this new round is gonna tie into Olivias BFF Haley, so new stuff will be coming soon!!! Excited to share.

Another SYWTBAI Proposal that ties into my S.E.A. lore

Pix Presents: An Innovator Proposal

(Brief explenation of the varied universe this is in, Buddy the Dino from my Rainbow Ridge proposal is fully excavated and that ride is shown in Disneyland as opposed to Disney World so there is no doubling up of themes in Disney World)

Hey guys, Haley here, coming to you LIVE (not really) from the BRAND NEW NERD HEADQUARTERS (this just in from Olivia who is reading over my shoulder, i’m not allowed to call it the nerd headquarters in a professional description) ... Maybe I should try this again.

Take two everyone. This is still Haley, now with less caffeine (Liv took my homemade concentrated coffee away... again) and I am actually on sight (unlike sitting in my bedroom in my pajamas as I was earlier) at the new S.E.A.S. Resort just a few minutes away from EPCOT at Walt Disney World. After Livs super sciencerific (look I do the science not the English okay let me live a little) discovery of Buddy the Dino over in Rainbow Ridge *https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/s-e-a-original-characters.938218/#post-8082315* EPCOT center reached out to the two of us to help them with a new education based S.T.E.M. resort for guests visiting EPCOT and the rest of Walt Disney World. (Guests can also see the fully excavated Buddy in all his glory over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom sense the Dino Institute decided to showcase Liv’s work)

Anywho suddenly two broke college grads are swept into helping one of the biggest companies in the world (nope i’m not fangirling I definitely haven’t been dreaming about this sense I was 8) And here we are indeed. Now, gonna hand the laptop over to Olivia who is much better at being professional. But I will be back!!


Olivia here. To make a long story short, after the Dino Institute caught wind of my friend Buddy they decided they wanted him showcased in Animal Kingdom. Of course there was no way I would ever turn down that offer. The newly reformed S.E.A.S. founded by me and Haley caught interest of EPCOT imagineers and sense I already had connections in the parks through the Dino Institute they asked the two of us to help them with a new project. S.E.A.S for those who have yet to hear is the Society of Engineers, Adventurers, and Scientists. This is of course modeled after the original Society of Explorers and Adventurers (S.E.A.) that I heard so many stories about from my grandfather growing up, but with a more scientific focus on the world. Telling Haley about S.E.A. sparked her interest as well and we decided to reform under a slightly new name to put more a focus on science as opposed to pure Indiana Jones style adventuring. S.E.A.S. is a place for any who wonder about the world to join together and explore, in whatever way they feel most comfortable with. S.E.A.S. also has a huge focus on sharing that knowledge and passion and that is exactly what this resort intends to do.

This resort will have distinct areas for guests to stay in, 3 pools, a playground, an arcade, a dining area, and a bar lounge with live performances from Haley herself. She is quite talented when she isn’t using her chemistry knowledge to make extra strong coffee and then loudly attempting to sing the elements song at 3am (okay... to be fair it's still pretty talented.) The 4 areas will be an astronomy themed section, a engineering themed section, a paleontology section, and a chemistry section. There will be a pool in the chemistry section that will be a bit smaller and more relaxed and adult focused that is shaped like an Erlenmeyer flask, a pool in the engineering section that’s a little more kid focused shaped like a trio of interconnected gears, and then the biggest pool area will be housed in the central astronomy section with a star shaped pool, a nearby sun Jacuzzi, and a planetary water playground for the smaller kids who don’t quite swim yet.

The playground will be over in the paleontology area and will have a swing set, some slides and monkey bars, and a mini dino dig like the one found over in Animal Kingdom, but smaller. The arcade will be housed in the main building next to check in and will have a mix of newer arcade games as well as classics. At some point I would like to get some volunteer coders to come once a week and hold a video game making class but that’s not going to happen for a while. The dining area will be similar to those who are familiar with Art of Animation, actually the whole resort is sort of modeled after that resort in layout.

​

With the buildings being short like Art of Animation there won't be an issue with the buildings interfering with the atmosphere from EPCOT. The main draw here will be the deserts. Atom cookies, geode cupcakes, fossil cupcakes, periodic table of element cupcakes... what can I say? Disney World loves specialty cupcakes. And then there is the The Lab. This is the place for your nightly dose of C2H6O, I mean... alcohol. This is Haleys main domain. If you are ever looking for her I would check here. She loves to drink and socialize and somehow the never-ending buzz of noise and people HELPS her study so even if she has work she might be there. She also performs Friday-Sunday with her guitar. The music is loud and an odd mix of science songs and radio hits. It somehow works. Speaking of she is blasting the song-list for her new set so I am gonna pass this blog off to her and head out for a late night cupcake.

I told you I would be back! So, I’m now in my pajamas in the hotel room we are staying at tonight!!! It’s amazing I wish I had brought my camera. Basically we are “testing” each style of room before the resort opens and tonight is are last night. Tonight we are in the space room! It’s all shades of purples and blues and pinks. And the ceiling is covered in glow in the dark stars in the shapes of constellations. The walls are pretty light colors but the bedding is all black and covered in galaxies. It’s really cool. The hallways outside are also covered in stars and planets and stuff!!! Last night we stayed in the engineering side. It had ROBOTS and RACECARS and cool stuff like that!! In the halls were cool blueprints for how to build things like robots and racecars and the rooms were all blue and white and the bedding looked like gears. That area has the big family rooms, and they have extra beds that pull down from the wall that is pretty neat. And some of them have bunk beds. The night before that was the paleontology area and the carpet looked all sandy and had little bones hidden in the pattern. The wallpaper was decorated with the names and bone structure of various dinosaurs which was pretty cool and the bedding had cute cartoon dinos. Liv complained that the bedding wasn’t accurate but the wallpaper was so she let it go. And the first day was my room in the chemistry area! It came out soooooo cool~ there were drawings of chemical equations of fun things like sugar! And the bedding had cute beakers and flasks on them! It was awesome and really a good mix of kid friendly and accurate. That’s the rooms! But lets talk about my favorite place. The lab!!!


Alright so the lab looks vaguely like the science lab you know from high school. Long cold black slate tables and high bar stools. A weird skeleton in the corner with a different holiday hat each season. Lots of beakers and flasks. But unlike your normal high school lab there is no dissections unless you count picking apart our loaded fries, no petri dishes... except the ones that hold boosey jello and gummy bacteria, and lots of neon lights and loud music.

We got a fantastic variety of drinks that include ones that we set on fire (REACTIONS) ones that self layer due to differing densities, ones that glow under the black lights we have, and all are served in some sweet beakers. Plus on the weekends there is live music provided by yours truly. Including a cover of this sweet song.



Anyways, that’s it for now, come check us out when school starts back up this 2018! Rock on nerds!​
