(Archive) Advertising District / WALT DISNEY ESCAPE, in Spain [fine... here...]

November 11, 2002
Seville, Spain

PHASE I of Pueblo Disney has been completed. This area extends from the main entrance all the way past the front entrance area of the park itself. The buildings have been built and the landscaping done to absolute perfection. PHASE II, which will encompase a "Pleasure Island" area for clubs, will extend northword from the main entrance along the front of one of the two hotels to be constructed for the result.

Heavy focus now shifts to the park itself, where Main Street U.S.A. has been rapidly taking shape. This signature aspect of Disney Parks will extend northwards to the central hub, which will branch out into Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and the rumored "Continental Showcase" themed area.



Here is a shot of Canary Landings, a hip clothing store specializing in tropical wears.


Lego Studio will feature the latest in Lego toys. A haven for the little ones, the style of the store fits the playfully high-tech theme.


This is really the first picture from inside the park. Pictured here is the south end of Main Street U.S.A., with the flag raised and blowing in the wind.

When completed, Walt Disney Escape will join Warner Brothers Movie World, Madrid and Universal Port Aventura as the third major theme park in Spain. Featuring the best in traditional Disney ideas and the newest technological advances, Walt Disney Escape will provide a strong form of competition and strengthen Disney's business venture into Europe.

Please check back periodically for new updates on this exciting resort.

The new screens look amazing. Keep up the great work Corky..........

This reeks of awesomeness

COASTAAR!!!111 COASTAAR!!!111!1!1!!1

Is the flag done with stacked fences? If so, then wow! great innovation. Very cool. And you have to like a bit of lego

i guess i'm a 'little one'

looking good. Nice flag, its not as big as Mike Robbins...very good.

Are you going to try and make a Spanish flag, cos that will be cool. Having an merican flag in Spain might cause a bit of controversy...

As to what an "RCT epiphany" is... that would be when you suddenly reach a higher level of RCT park making. The first time occurred when when I started working on RUPE. The second time came when I started working on CHR.

Word?
Can you teach me how to do that?

The lego building... is awesomenessed....

Reeks of awesomeness.

Nice dice.

Ew.

Scratch that.

Bah.

It looks amazing. I can't wait to download it next year. Any idea on which month it might be finished?

i guess i'm a 'little one'

LOL, Who says that legos are only for little ones? I'd be in there all day.

These screens look waaaaaay better than your earlier ones, IMO. Keep up the good work and keep us updated.

I see no reason why that should cause controversy. Why can't a Spanish park put on a American flag in a American themed area. It's like saying a Spanish flag in a Spanish area in a American park would be controversial. The world is (hopefully) more civilased (sp?) then that.

As for the park, it looks amazing. Definetly the best RCT2 architecture so far, and probably the most anticipated park so far too .

What are you going to do with Lindencrest? Are you gonna release it as a unfinished park? Or only release Meadowbrooke Falls? Or will it remain on your computer for about 1000 years?

Probably the last choice...



BTW, this is just an idea, but I think it would be cool to start generating "rumors" or questions about the park. Pretend it's a real park under real construction and start asking questions like what will be in, what won't, what you'd like to see.

This way, I can get interactive feedback, and if I like an idea, I might actually use it. It's like you the public affecting the park, and it would be cool, because obviously, as many of you know, I like to treat my parks as real parks (hence the advertising styles), and this would enhance that even more.

Again, it's just an idea, of course, but what do you think? Post questions, wish lists, rumors, lol.

You gotta stop sounding like Austin Powers!

Also, there won't be that many coasters here. Space Mountain. Big Thunder Mountain. Probably something else, but that may be it, since it's a Disney park (let the flames begin... "Oh no! No coasters??? That SUCKS!!! ... It's called ROLLER COASTER Tycoon, not Disney Park Tycoon!!! ... Yet another lame Disney park!" ...I know they're coming... ).

The Idea above sounds wicked. The screens above also rock. I love your RCT2 architecture its just so groovy the park sounds wicked I can't wait to see coasters and stuff.

Lol, I dont think you are going to get any complaints for doing a Disney park... I'll take thoes. Screens look great so far, though main street looks a little darker than in the parks. Love the shopping area, store windows are a great idea. You are deffinatly very in tune with the Disney style. The advertising style idea is creative, should be interesting to see how that turns out.

You're gonna have a hard time filling up the map with second to none in coasters.

your never to old for legos

I hear from my mom's cousin's boyfriend's best friend's brother whos a construction worker there that they're going to build a 400 foot launched intamin rocket coaster. It's not Disney, I know, but he's a very reliable source and would NEVER lie.

LMAO (this is true)

Sorry I couldn't think of another word to describe it so I just used the first thing that came to my head.

Well I've heard from folks in management at Universal's Port Aventura (who supposedly send spies to other amusement parks being constructed in the area) that Disney may be planning an attraction based on one of the most neglected titles in Disney's lineup: Robin Hood. They didn't have any clue as to what this attraction might be, just that Disney wanted to surprise people with some attractions not traditionally found in Disney theme parks and the idea of a Robin Hood ride had been discussed at great length. I'll let you know if I hear anything else about it.
