SA VI Stanza X: Disney Royale! Open Brainstorming Thread

[CookieMouse]

So back to imagineering, for Tomorrowland, I would love to see a new incarnation of the classic Peoplemover and if there are no other ideas for Fire Mountain, I would make it the BTM of MDL; with the locomotives resembleing this.

I’d like that, maybe we could give it an excavation theme, cursed ground by ancient gods in South America.

GENERAL PROJECT UPDATE

Here are our Project Managers for individual lands.

Adventureland: @AceAstro
Fantasyland: @NateD1226
Tomorrowland: @spacemt354
Main Street: @Pi on my Cake (right Pi? )

It would be great if each PM can have a rough draft of their main attraction by late tonight. Your E-tickets, your weenie, your land's overall scope and design. This will help us all with park balance.​

Yes, I think this is a great plan! And yeah, I'll take the lead on managing Main Street

RESORT LOCATION
&
RESORT LAYOUT

The Mumbai Disneyland Resort is to be located on reclaimed land near the Ghatkopar neighborhood in northeast Mumbai. The site selected is roughly 1.6 times the size of the Tokyo Disneyland Resort. Presently, this acreage is home to Deonar Dumping Ground (India's largest landfill!) and Ghatkopar Pumping Station. Both are outmoded and slated for decommission (all this is true, I've done my research!), with their functions to be moved beyond Mumbai to better facilities. The Disney Corporation shall propose an ecological cleanup of the area, in exchange for ownership of the land. Disney will also acquire the mangrove forests east of the site, which serve as a seasonal floodplain for the Mithi River. Like the ecological preserves on Walt Disney World property in Florida, these mangroves will remain undeveloped.

The nearby Ghatkopar neighborhood has just begun gentrification, and is anticipated to become the next Bandra - that is, in a decade it should one of Mumbai's most desirable neighborhoods. Former slum areas are being converted into high-end high-rises. Ghatkopar Train Station is where the Mumbai Metro meets trains from the eastern suburbs. Between that and the nearby expressway, this neighborhood is easily accessible for all 14 million residents of Mumbai, tourists, plus Indian nationals arriving from surrounding regions. A light rail line can be built between the train station and the resort to help bring in guests.

The resort's layout is a work-in-progress; already I see ways to improve it. Like the Paris resort, everything is clustered around a central point - a Ticketing Center. Parking and metro traffic comes in from the west, reaching this point. Mumbai Disneyland is directly north, while to the east is land for a Second Gate with shared backstage access. South, clustered around a lagoon, is a hotel complex (with room for expansion, and with possible overlap with the second gate). The southwest shore hosts the shopping complex (e.g. Disney Bazaar - working title).

Looking at this, I want to move everything north a bit above the river's inlet (which separates the landfill to the south from the pumping station grounds to the north). This should hopefully open up space for a Third Gate. As I said, work-in-progress.​

Maybe as a secondary project we could work on the second gate, for fun.

It's a rough outline, but here is our current Main Street plan/layout

The blue section will be covered. It would be really cool for there to be a weenie at the end of the West side street heading towards Adventureland the way there is for the East one.

Hey all. I am in fact alive. This whole *gestures to the world wildly* everything has made it not a fun time for me mental health wise hence the lack of me existing here. I have pretty much eaten snacks and slept and made ty tik toks about my depression so ya know. But I finally got enough energy to read though this and I am pretty happy about what we have chosen even if I am sad I didn't really help with the brainstormy process which *shrugs* there will be another park to make. Anyways I am in 2 different PMs that I haven't looked at yet so I will work on that here soon.

 

[spacemt354]

When designing the overall park - what helps me get my bearings is to take an overhead shot of a pre-existing park that sort of fits our trajectory - so that we can see where things fit.

For me - it feels like we're most similar atm to Tokyo Disneyland - there are some stylistic changes like the train going around the park and not just Westernland, however the covered Main Street and the pathways into the different lands feels very similar so here's an overhead shot

 

[spacemt354]

This would be what I'd assume the basic outline of the park would look like with some minor modifications

Tokyo Disneyland is 115 acres approx - but remember that's after decades being open - we're laying the foundation of the park in this project so I included in expansion pads for future attractions and lands as we go!

Do I spot the tree of life in Adventureland?
I think it would be cool if it were to house a dark ride about the spirit of nature. Also, after the project, let’s do a optional phase 2!

 

[Evilgidgit]

Avengers Campus will also have an Asgard-themed planetarium-meets-theatre stunt show.

End of Day Recap for Small World Street

Much of the themes for stuff has been decided on and we have some great progress going!
​

• Our parade has a very great plan for it!​
• As does the Mickey and the Adjective Noun theater show!​
• Small World, One Song will be our main attraction. It will be a new take on Small World that utilizes new tech (Floating Omnimover, 2.5D Projection Mapping) and a focus on music/dance to help it not be a clone.​
• Layout of the street and the themes for most of the buildings has been figured out.​

Good morning team! Good morning Project Managers: @Pi on my Cake, @AceAstro, @NateD1226, @Evilgidgit, @spacemt354

We’re all going through a weird time right now! So please, don’t let this game stress you out. Let it be a fun relief valve with online friends.

If we’re still aiming for a Monday due date for this project (Pi?), don’t worry about extreme detail for anything. We don’t need complete ridethroughs unless you truly want to do them. A brief paragraph or even a few sentences for each element is all that’s needed for a project of this scale!

Today I’ll be focusing on developing an overall park map. Stay well everybody!

 

[spacemt354]

I think we can push the due date back! I'd rather see this park have a good foundation for now and into the future rather than rush it.

 

[D Hulk]

Here is something, folks, a brief description of all the non-park stuff at our resort!

PIC: RESORT MAP – TO BE MADE
MUMBAI DISNEYLAND RESORT

Guests will arrive at Mumbai Disneyland Resort from the Ghatkopar neighborhood to the west. Motorists will park in the Pascal Lot and continue on by tram. Other guests will arrive by taxi service or by the Flynn Rider Line extension to the Mumbai Metro (connecting to Ghatkopar Train Station).

All of this guest traffic is funneled into the Ticketing Esplanade, a hub area with ticketing booths. To the north is direct access to Mumbai Disneyland, while gates to the northeast will eventually lead to the second gate park next door. A central iconic fountain features a pillar of waterfall minarets flanked by bronze statues of the Fantasia brooms. Since Mumbai Disneyland’s central hub is inspired by Islamic art, which forbids representative figures, the iconic Partners Statue is perched atop this mountain.

To the south is Storybook Lake, a massive lagoon inspired in part by the many beautiful manmade lakes of India, ranging from Udaipur (the Venice of the East) to Jaisalmer’s Gadsisar. Many small sandstone temples and shrines dots the waters. All the resort features line Storybook Lake’s shores, as do beautiful garden walkways.

A hotel complex is located on the lake’s eastern shores. While there is room here eventually for up to seven hotels, Mumbai Disneyland Resort is opening with two hotels here to avoid overdevelopment. Some of the empty hotel pads border the second gate acreage, to allow for future in-park accommodations. Guests staying at both hotels will be able to access all resort features either by foot or by water taxis upon Storybook Lake.

MUMBAI DISNEYLAND HOTEL
Deluxe Hotel

The resort’s flagship hotel mixes traditional Mughal architecture with Art Deco design and a subtle, classy sprinkling of Disney theming. Marble floors and finely-carved pink sandstone pillars create an oasis of luxury. Design influence comes from the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, considered one of the world’s best hotels.

Lobby murals, set within a vaulted dome, respectfully depict Disney characters in an assortment of historic Indian contexts. Period detailing and artwork dates back to 1947, the year India gained her independence. For Indian guests, this combination of details should provoke a tremendous sense of nationalism and nostalgia. Immaculate garden grounds surround the palace, with topiaries sculpted to complement the structure’s minarets and domes.

Rooms
400

Dining
Jewel of the Taj (Fine dining) – Dine on the finest South Indian foods in an upscale banquet hall fit for royalty. Dyed windows filter in a kaleidoscope of colors, much in the style of traditional upper-caste living.

Monsoon Lounge (Lobby restaurant & lounge) – Grab quick-service food and beverages in this regal fireside den while enjoying live piano accompaniment.

Baloo’s (Buffet restaurant) – Enjoy a buffet of wide-ranging international dishes and meet your favorite Disney characters. This family-friendly location overlooks the gardens, and includes jungle-inspired décor ranging from banisters to murals.

MICKEY & PALS HOTEL
Value Hotel

Families will adore this character-centric value hotel inspired by Mickey Mouse and his friends. The hotel structure is a playful mixture of Toontown’s cartoony vibe with the glamour of old time Hollywood. The gardens include large statues of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and others, bringing the same sense of play found at Walt Disney World’s Art of Animation. Rooms are themed to different beloved Disney characters, so be sure to book early!

Rooms
800

Dining
Lantern Café (Buffet restaurant) – Every day is Diwali at the Lantern Café, with lovely colored lanterns floating overhead. Enjoy a character meal with an assortment of buffet foods to satisfy every diner.

DISNEY ROYAL PALACE
Ultra Deluxe Hotel

In the center of Storybook Lake is the Disney Royal Palace, a remarkably opulent 5-star “ultra deluxe hotel.” This jewel of Hindu-Mictorian architecture – the world’s first building designed in this playful new Disney style – rises from the waters like a multi-tiered white marble temple. Every one of the Palace’s lavish rooms has a pristine lakeside view. This hotel is only accessible by river barge, which ferries guests to the Mumbai Disneyland dock in style. Island access is exclusively for hotel guests or visitors with dining reservations.

Rooms
80

Dining
Annapurna (Fine dining) – This signature rooftop restaurant includes 360 degree views, and offers the finest in multi-course haute Indian cuisine. This is an ideal location for viewing Mumbai Disneyland’s nighttime spectacular.

Maharajah Terrace (Lobby restaurant & lounge) – Lobby lounge serving light Indian food and drinks. Lake-view seating is available both indoors and on the patio.

DISNEY BAZAAR
Shopping Complex

Disney Bazaar is a shopping complex (akin to Disney Spring, Downtown Disney, and others) along the southern shores of Storybook Lake. This district is a combination of outdoor venues – inspired by the gorgeous canal city of Udaipur – and an all-weather indoors marketplace – inspired by Old World markets like Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar.

Hotel guests and day visitors both will find Disney Bazaar conveniently located, making this an ideal spot for an end-of-day meal or a simple respite from the park. Disney Bazaar is a vibrant and living environment, a bracing mixture of upscale retail with a joyful street market. Brand-name retailers and upscale chain restaurants are found around every corner! Street musicians and acrobatic performers entertain young and old alike. The entire district is centered the world’s largest World of Disney store, located in a converted 18th-century clock tower.​

@Pi on my Cake, making this official:

Can we push the due date past Monday?

Things have been so nutty lately, that would really be best for the overall park quality and for player sanity.​
