The
ride would be housed in a modern looking travel agent with a slight twist
in that all the advertised destinations are various points in time (Photoshop)
One
of the destinations on the ride is the formation of the Earth, a place of
earthquakes and volcanoes and smoky warm atmosphere (Ink, watercolour &
Photoshop)
Another
stop is the 16th Century, sailing alongside pirates on the ocean (Pastels
& Photoshop)
The
final destination is a city of the future, where traffic flies around enormous
skyscrapers (Pen & Photoshop)
Time Travel
The Option Project in my final year was an opportunity to develop a concept design proposal. I chose to design a dark ride for a theme park such as Alton Towers.
The starting point for my concept was H.G. Wells' The Time Machine. From this I created a storyboard and the theming of the ride, looking at Victorian decorative design and art in the style of Steampunk for inspiration.
The
ride vehicle is a mobile simulator system, allowing for various motion effects
as the storyboard requires (Coloured pencil)
