welchce Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 An interesting concept coming from Europe. It looks like EPCOT but inside. http://www.diamonda.nl/index.php?option=co...29&Itemid=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcbaseball Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 This might be the most comical idea I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welchce Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Yeah, and even the voice guy sounds like something you'd hear advertising Disney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcbaseball Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Its not even the Disney replication that I find funny. Its that this guy thinks that the attractions he has thought up are entertaining enough to make people want to come back to the park over and over again. The "educational" attraction is only good for one ride. No one goes back to EPCOT to ride only Spaceship Earth. EPCOT provides many thrilling attractions that draw back visitors and this video has zero. When the thrilling ride in your park is a spinning wild mouse, something is wrong.

CoastersRZ Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 That is um, interesting. Seems to be similar to EPCOT, but not as well executed or thought out. An attraction called "Why" and another one called "Why Not?" If this thing is ever built, I would be surprised. Not to mention the architecture for the actual "climate controlled" building seems a bit lackluster. Not to mention the renderings are on the weak side, and do not even show any of the structural elements. And perhaps the biggest reason I doubt this is developed is because of the economy. Even Ferrari World in Abu Dhubai has delayed its opening by a year. That project, which was designed by Cincinnati based Jack Rouse Associates has some very interesting attractions going into it.

Avatar Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Yes it was interesting, but in my opinion a gamble. I was distracted by the guys voice and knew it was from Disney. I played some audio of attractions I thought he did like the monorail and then it dawned on me. He makes all the prerecorded announcements on the resort buses.

Thrill_Biscuit Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Ooh. I want to ride the "Interactive Diversity Poll" ride again!!! I'll say one thing for this: it's robust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Wow doesn't that look like something that will never get off the ground. Great renderings, very detailed, Im ready to invest. Does the "This is Diamonda" remind anyone else of "This is Cyberdyne?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I totally thought that when I first heard it... Is this a joke? It looks like a 5-year-old designed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTCO Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 if it is educational in any way shape of form.. 90% of America will probably not want to go.. the American people are generally looking for great thrills when they look for an amusement park, not another boring field trip that's educational.. looks like a big waste of money and land to me..

CedarPointer Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Apparently, Splendid China was quite a good attraction, too. However, nobody ever visited, so it didn't really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
