I've had an idea in my head regarding Disneyland/World rides since I started getting addicted to Phineas and Ferb. Among the many reasons why I love the show, the crazy things they build in their backyard is high on the list.
With that in mind, I wanted to create a compact and overloaded version of classic Disney rides and their surrounding themes, with one thing on top of the other and everything connected together in the same structure.
I started off with this piece of concept art by John Hench for the basic shape of the building. Then I incorporated the Monorail, Astro Orbiter and the Peoplemover into the design, as well as elements from the different tomorrowlands around the world (and past versions of it).
I struggled to get away from my usual super-saturated look, and tried going with a more neutral color scheme (even though it's still pretty colorful) that had a bit of a 50's/60's feel. I'm not sure how many of my original intentions I ended up accomplishing, but regardless, I'm really happy with the result
I do plan on making more rides... hopefully it'll happen
I've been trying to put my finger on what it is about the 'Disney TomorrowLand' aesthetic I love so much. That sort of retro / art deco / space grandeur that doesn't exist anywhere else. Whatever it is, you nailed it. I love how you worked everything in together without losing any of the individual rides characters. Lovely muted pastel colour scheme too.
Love how you incorporated the Tower of the Four Winds...I love that particular piece. This whole poster is excellent and captures that 50s/60s feel pretty well.
It was a great theme to play with
I'm a huge sucker for the visuals and atmosphere of the land as well. Happy to hear your praise
you're the first one to mention it. I'll use any I can excuse for some Rolly Crump
