Banksy's Dismayland but not for pseudo-intellectuals. I suppose any piece of experimental "art" is really for pseudo-intellectuals at its core, though.

I'd agree with half of this. I think Banksy's work is shallow and doesn't really say much? It doesn't go much deeper than "society bad" but I don't think anything experimental is for pseudo-intellectuals. "Art speak" does get a bit annoying though.

avant garde theme park ride. Role reversal. You are the theming on the ride. You enter a building with a track going around it that has vehicles with either mannequins or animatronics in them.

You go to the empty sets of the building, stand in place, and move. The animatronic/mannequin filled vehicles ride around you.

This is what the AAs In Haunted Mansion must feel like when @George Lucas on a Bench rides it over and over.

@George Lucas on a Bench Any chance we’ll get another vlog from you? They’re great.

I think that ship has sailed.

Original DCA was very camp. Ahead of its time

No. No. I hope you're joking. DCA was not "ahead of its time." You could have opened DCA 1.0 any year between 2001 and now and it would STILL be a lousy, cynical attempt to creating a cheap-as-possible Disney park based on the belief that Disney fans are idiots who will flock to anything the company slaps the Disney brand on. The puns would still be annoying, the giant orange would still be ugly, the focus on upscale, pricey dining over quailty attractions would still be a huge mistake and people would still avoid it like the plague because they're not as stupid as Disney assumed.

But Screamin', Soarin' and Grizzly would still be fine rides.

Just because you *can* sculpt a nightmare image and put it on display doesn't mean you *should* sculpt a nightmare image and put it on display.

Avant garde theme park ride. You are involved in the making of ride's theme. You ride a vehicle that moves across a blank walls and objects. The vehicle has paint buckets everywhere. You get to splash the paint everywhere

Do you remember what happened when Coca Cola invited the public to create their own captions for product images?

So strange to me that this is in a real Disney park. Imagineering has slowly been killed since the 90's and no one just ever picked up on it. Joe Rohde's best project is Everest and that doesn't even compare to any of Baxter's work. Rohde comes off as someone who learned theme parks from a classroom, not from studying actual theme parks.

A big part of the problems with so much of contemporary themed entertainment design is that too many designers studied theme parks. The design has become increasingly recursive, distorted copies of a copy where the wrong aspects are highlighted.

 

[Suspirian]

No. No. I hope you're joking.

Duh.

 

[Rich T]

Duh.

Thank you. Please excuse the outburst.
