That’s great! Looks modern but nothing that will create a lot of dissonance with the older buildings.

Anyone have any good ideas for a name? I want to make a logo with the name tomorrow.

Hmm, how about the Sun Salon? In Versailles, the Salons are the individual corridors of the palace. The Sun is a reference to the creator of Versailles who named himself the "Sun King". Together they make an alliteration!
Alternatively, we play it safe and go with Palace of Versailles or Versailles Through History.
Btw I love your Google Site design!

@Mickeynerd17 would you prefer to work on the story over here or on a PM? let me know when you have time

I think having a PM would be smarter so we don't have to sift through everyone's work to find our brainstorming ideas!

For Ensoleillé (meaning "sunny") the chicken, I'm thinking of a refined personality (sort of like Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast).

I like that! A serious character, but with lots of potential for some funny aspects of dialogue. Excellent choice!

I've put the costume inspirations on the Show tab. I still need to find one for Act IV and if there are any other characters (like the invading armies).

Here's what I've been alluding that I've been doing for the Presentation, it's a video:
This obviously isn't finished yet and is much farther along since I rendered this in the morning. I've fixed at least one of the weird visual glitches in here and I'll try to fix the others.
I used some copyrighted music in here (that I thought would fit well with the visuals). If you all don't want the ads that will result from this, I can just change it to stock music.
Any changes I need to make so far other than finishing it of course?

Last day team! I don't have much else to say other than keep up the good work! Make sure to post your finished part to @Sharon&Susan 's google site, and to credit yourself where credit is due. Google Drive: Sign-in

I'll be using overall effort/progress as the basis of my nominations. It will not be strategic-minded. Please don't take it personally if I have to nominate you. Everyone's been on their A-game this round, and to choose three out of the seven of us to nominate not for doing anything wrong but just for doing less than the rest is incredibly difficult. I wish everyone the best.

I'll have the first almost-final draft of the video posted tomorrow morning... assuming that no one posts something I REALLY feel like I need to include in our "trailer".

Keeping my word here's the newest version of the video:
I'm happy with it as is, but if anyone has any problems with it make sure to let me know ahead of a few hours before we post our project in the main thread so I have plenty of time to re-render it and post it on Youtube!

@Mickeynerd17 @DisneyFan18 How’s the story coming along? Anything you need help with? I’m guessing I’m the only ride person not on your thread, so feel free to add me.

It’s going very well, thanks! It should be ready by later today, but we’ve broken down the story, we just need to write the script and it’s done!
EXTERIOR
When planning for the new attraction, the French Ministry of Culture wanted to create a modern structure that matched the Palace itself in terms of grandeur, without intruding on the famous and well maintained sight-lines of the historic grounds.
The job of handling such a daunting task was bestowed upon world renown Belgian architect Christine Conix. Her works are known for being innovative and diverse, as well as being inviting for commercial usage. Heading up a team of over a dozen other architects and designers from across Europe, Conix managed to create a visual and functional masterpiece.
From the outside, the building would fit right in if it where placed on any block in any high tech city. It’s 42’ spires reaching into the sky, leading guests’ eyes down the entire facade to the reflective glass doors and windows. An elegant fountain and array of flags adorns the main courtyard.
The body of the building features sleek curvatures that house the main attraction itself. The building is truly a work of art, fitting for a site such as Versailles.
QUEUE
Once inside, guests find themselves in a sprawling lobby that serves as a “hub” of sorts for the entire facility. Marble floors lead to each of the building’s features. Hues of gold, black, and purple adorn all surfaces from floor to ceiling.
From the ground floor, guests may choose to go immediately to the main attraction, head upstairs to visit a small cafe and book store, head to the gift shop, or visit the French Ministry of Culture’s tourism station, where official guides can connect visitors with other places of interest within the nation, including other museums and historic landmarks, and of course, the most visited place in all of Europe, Disneyland Paris.
The queue itself begins as a rather open atrium of sorts. A tile mosaic along the left wall leads guests down two short walkways and into the holding area. The walkways are dimly lit, while large relief sculptures and heavily detailed busts of French dignitaries and rulers from not just the across the nation’s entire history are brightly illuminated, glowing radiantly and showing off every last detail of artistry that went into them. Even Marie Antoinette is immortalized here.
Along the right wall are a series of 48” screens that run a continual loop of photographs, illustrations, works of art, and short videos offering supplemental facts about the Palace that may not otherwise be acknowledged.
