(Archive) Advertising District / DisneySea

...really shows your love for Disney.

Is it that obvious?

This is some really bad timing, considering there are like three other Disney parks on the first 2 pages of the Ad District, but I'm gonna update anyway.

Basically this update focuses on the enhancements to Disneyland Park for the 50th Anniversary of the original Disneyland, but this being DisneySea's thread I felt it would be deceiving not to provide a new shot of the park. The below shot is a work-in-progress. I just restarted work on DisneySea after finishing up the massive task of redoing my original Disneyland, so don't expect anything mind blowing for at least a month.

The backside of the main entrance to DisneySea:

Now on to the real part of this update: The completion of the the Disneyland 50th Anniversary Tribute Edition! So many things have been updated, added, or redone in this park that it doesn't even look the same anymore. Below are a few shots of these improvements. Look for Disneyland 50th Anniversary Tribute Park on July 17, 2005.

Of course we gotta start off with the biggest addition to the park, Tomorrowland:

Another big part of the update, the completely gutted and redone Jungle River Cruise:

Just showing off some of the cool Alice in Wonderland scenery from the AmazingEarl:

Instead of the Sleepy Hollow section, I decided to make all of the Shadowlands a dark Fantasyland. In this screen, you can see the new path constructed out of the main village heading towards the new dark ride, Rapunzel's Tower, and the Old Mill. On the other side of the tower is Rapunzel's golden hair hanging from a window. This view looked better :

Rapunzel's Tower and the Brothers Grimm shop.

And that's about it for now. The next update will be soley about DisneySea. More than likely focusing on Mediterranean Harbor or Mount Prometheus. I look foward to any comments ya'll have!

Dont worry this just blows all the other stuff out of the water.

^ Yeah it does.

That dark theme is absolutely perfect.

Your Tomorrowland is better than something WDI would do! It really is jaw-dropping.
Since your DisneySea shot is a work-in-progress I'll forgive the lack of detail on the rightside buildings.
The Jungle Cruise screen is both good and bad. The camp seems to be really good, and the boat looks amazing but the elephants and the waterfalls really aren't doing it for me. The waterfalls seem too fake, even for something cheezy like the Jungle Cruise.
Dark Fantasyland is up-to-par with some of Disney's finest in my opinion. Too bad Disney won't accept good ideas!

The Mira Costa Hotel looks nice, but it doesn't seem like it's the right proportions compared to the original. The detail level looks nice though.

Why do you use always WW or something. I haven't it and this park looks great! I'm looking forward to the Big Thunder Mountain!

Wow i love this the first screen looks amazing i love the atmosphere in it ,screen 2 is the best i think it's very realitic but it have a high level of detail
screen 3 is good but not really much to say about it and screen 4 reminds me to much of your shadowland area in your disneyland park but overal it looks great nice job

I really look foward to the 50th anniversary tribute!
From the screens, this looks like some of the best disney work ever.
I'm lovin the first and second screen

Dont worry this just blows all the other stuff out of the water.

Thanks, chapelz.

Ah, the Disney Freak of Criticism shows his face. Even though DisneySea is a work-in-progress, those right side buildings are done. Also, in regards to the Jungle River Cruise, I understand what you're saying. I knew those waterfalls would be the object of controversy, but I personally like them like that. Custom waterfalls would look too out of place IMO.

The Mira Costa Hotel looks nice, but it doesn't seem like it's the right proportions compared to the original. The detail level looks nice though.

Please elaborate.

Why do you use always WW or something.

Because I like some of the things WW has to offer. If someone converted most of the good scenery, then I would drop WW, but I'm not going to waste my time doing so.

screen 4 reminds me to much of your shadowland area in your disneyland park but overal it looks great nice job

I would hope so! That shot is from the Shadowlands!

Thanks for the input everyone. I look foward to more!

Absolutely jawdropping. The only thing I don't like is the Transit Authority. Don't bank it. TTA at MK at least goes fast through the turns.

Ah, but that's not the Transit Authority. That's the Rocket Rods.

I love that Hotel Miracosta screen.

The rest isn't too shabby, either. Nice job Ice.

The Mira Costa Hotel looks nice, but it doesn't seem like it's the right proportions compared to the original. The detail level looks nice though.

Actually, looking at some pics that I have, it looks as if I was wrong. The hotel is in correct proportions, but your paths aren't. The plaza area should extend out just a bit more, and the path on the right side should be narrower.

I think the trees look kinda of ugly too, they look sick. In certain areas the roof looks kinda weird too. I think it's because you have the roofs crashing together. I don't like the whole /\/\. If you want you could just replace those inside roof tiles with flat block pieces, like you did in other areas. It'll look infinately better.

Oh, one more thing the Hotel Miracosta sign sticks out way too much. You could either get rid of it, or change the colors.

Some of the best disney stuff I've seen...but I don't like disney, so can't really give any useful feedback. Just keep it up, because it's coming along well.

Come on, I'm sure you can do some more justice to that bare red building. On a second look, the rest looks nice, just that last building really bugs me. About the falls, if you like 'em then I'll just have to respect that.
On a side note, Disneyland v2.0 is released on July 17th, right?

Yup.

Jungle River Cruise =

Is the 2nd Version with or without WW/TT???

btw: Screens look all really great.

Bye Powersun

Both parks are WW. Neither are TT.

And in a non-pictorial update, Mediterranean Harbor is moving along very quickly now that I have the building styles down. Anyone know some object sites with some good sailboats?
