Team Durango Brainstorming Thread - Project Three: Animation Domination

[Disneylover152]

Yeah, and I just meant the material used would be reminiscent of those mall Playgrounds. Those hard, shiny, plasticy looking things. It’s tacky, and I like it. Maybe there could be some kind of geyser, or fallen redwood tree kids could slide down?

Here's an idea- what if we take Curious George and adapt it to become an interactive queue space for this attraction, similar to Dumbo?

I like it! Could you draw up a map for it to include the sort of thing you’re talking about?

I don’t think so, but maybe I’ll try.

Hey, yeah! But how would that work, unless we were to replace curious George instead of Barney.

Great idea! Maybe @PerGronStudio can help with concept art and @ThatGuyFromFlorida can just elaborate on interactive elements? I think it would just be eliminating both attractions, right?

Give me a second, I'm gonna quickly draw something up on Powerpoint.

 

[CookieMouse]

Also I would want to expand the Barney building, maybe just a little bit.

Oh yes, I'm planning on demoing the building and rebuilding a new show building the same size as ET & Cat in the Hat.

So, here's my update-

Yellow is Curious George, Purple is the Barney area (queue, building & shop)

This is what I'm proposing. If we like it, cool, if not, we can ditch this and start something new.

You enter here(1), which is on the pathway leading down to Woody Woodpecker. Reusing parts of the Barney queue, we have one queue for Express and another one for the queue. The queue (2) winds through Jellystone Park before making its way down to the play area (3), formerly Curious George. The play area works very similar to Dumbo where you get a restaurant pager and the kids, and adults, can wander throughout and play. When their pager goes off, they go inside the main show building (4), which is the same size as E.T. and a tiny bit bigger than Cat in a Hat. I just used those buildings as a reference, later tonight when I go write the ride-through more I will find a more accurate size. You exit the ride through the gift shop (5) which is the same building as Barney.

Thoughts? Also final thoughts on the ride I mentioned before? I want to make sure we all like it before moving further with it.

Love it! The ride is also great! @ThatGuyFromFlorida it'd be good if you could go further in depth on the interactive portion! If you all could get everything to me tomorrow morning/early afternoon, that'd be great!

Yes, let's just make sure @ThatGuyFromFlorida is ok with this since he is working on the queue.

The Queue:
The Queue will be themed to jellystone Park, and the entrance to the ride will be the entrance gate to jellystone park.

The queue will wind around a forested area, and they soon reach a small waterfall, though this will look much more cartoony than the reference image.

guests then pass by the waterfall, and into a play area, reusing the previous curious George play place, themed to a forested area. There is a slide, themed to look like a fallen tree, and also a ball shooting arena themed to a treehouse. There are also some jumping fountains themed to geysers.

after that, you wind back through the forest, and then go into a cave. After some switch backs, you finally arrive at the loading station, themed to a cavern. There are also some musical stalactites, with rainbow colored lighting. By musical I mean they drip water.

I just wrote up a description of what I had in mind. Let me know if it needs some changes or more explanation!

Jellystone Park is inspired by American national nature reserves and parks and an almost direct reference to Yellowstone National Park, set in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Amongst conifers, quaking aspen and cottonwood trees lies a quaint yet large and proud wooden lodge, reminiscent of the many wilderness lodges in national parks, like the Yellowstone's very own Old Faithful Inn, yet a bit more "cartoon-ified"; so more roundish and a brighter color scheme. The building will serve just like many Fantasyland Dark Rides as a loose teaser to the ride's story and theme. Instead of focusing on actual in-story locations, the lodge is supposed to represent the atmosphere and tone of the ride and its story. Once Guests have boarded their vehicles, they will actually travel into the Yogi Bear franchise and its world, in terms of style and theming. The Central House section of the building is a tall gabled log structure housing the interior queue and loading dock. Above the entrance a sign with the ride's title and static figures of Yogi Bear and Boo Boo mark the buildings facade. The milled lumber framing is supported by twisted and curved branches, giving the building a strong rustic air. The building is topped by shangled roofs which are accented by shed and gabled dormers. The building is anchored to the ground by a rhyolite foundation that extends to the first floor window sills.

Sounds great!

@goofyyukyukyuk17 , what are your thoughts for the presentation? I don’t think it needs to be anything complicated. Honestly even a forum post would work: this is a fairly simple prompt. But I’m interested to hear your ideas.

 

[goofyyukyuk]

I wasn’t gonna do anything complicated, probably just a google doc or something close to that... like you said, this is a smaller project that doesn’t need to be over complicated.

 

[goofyyukyuk]

Did we ever come up with a name for the attraction?

 

[Outbound]

Yogi's Jellystone Adventure?

 

[goofyyukyuk]

I like that... @Disneylover152 any thoughts? Also, did you have anything else to add to your attraction description?

 

[goofyyukyuk]

And @PerGronStudio any concept art updates?
