(Archive) Advertising District / Announcing DisneySEA Spain

I don't like those gold balconys and I don't really like the window doors though I never do cause it just is a personal peeve of mine, to me it makes it seem rushed, no time or work or even thought as well put in ethier. Some in places that look good are cool but when theres a ton everywhere is what I don't like. Again it is just a personal peeve(as some of you call it ) of mine so don't let that stop you.
I can see the reason for the overhaul on windows cause the real Disney Sea Mediteranian(sp?) section has a ton of them but if you could detail some or all of the windows a little more that would be cool.
Other than that, this screen is good to ok, it just seems a bit dull ecspessialy that green.
I look forward to future screens!

I'm still enjoying it. Perhaps not as much as the hotel, but I still like it.
By the way, it's 'pet peeve'.

Seville, Spain


New England Waterfront
Accessible from La Mediterranea and Discovery Harbor, this sleepy New England settlement bears strong roots in the fishing business. Though technology may have sped the world up, here, time still passes by slowly, at its own leisurely pace. Take a tour of the coast or explore the local cannery. Braver guests may want to enter the historical logging factory. Though it has since been abandoned, some say it works as though the old timber logging days were only yesterday…

ATTRACTIONS
Logger’s Run FP
This old abandoned logging factory was once the heart of a thriving timber industry. After that business died out, the town switched to fishing, but the factory remains—a sign of a once glorious past.

Here is a shot of the waterfront region proper, where space is slightly more open than the urban downtown marketplace which lies further to the upper left. The bridge leads over to the next region in this tour, Discovery Harbor, which will be featured in the next report.


The Walt Disney Escape Resort has quickly become the most popular tourist destination in Spain, attracting over 12 million guests a year. DisneySEA Escape will only further cement this popularity, and its Disney quality will ensure that Disney remains a dominant force in Europe for many years to come.

It's good, but I think there should be more balconies and you should change the colour of the black roof

It is good and has a nice atmosphere but add in balconys.

UGH.

That tree/bush selection is TERRIBLE.

You have like 5 shades of puke green, including flowers?

This is the park i'm looking most forward to. I have always wanted to do a disneysea park like I told you cork but your doing a awesome job I won't need to. the park is turning out great its just like a disneysea park would be.


the screen is looking great cork I can't find anything wrong except for the fact you haven't sent me this park j/k

The best thing about this screen is how different it is to the ones that have gone previously. And that was the best thing about them too.

They are all of amazing quality, but all so different. I love them all, though. I will love the park too. No rush!

I think the black roof seems weird, but other than that its perfect!

I agree. Even about the sending park thing.

Of course it looks good, but it could be better if a tad more attention was paid to the little details. Things like not covering windows with lamps from the path, or blocking them with rooves. Maybe the grey flowers on the black building could be upgraded to a shade of white or light yellow as to make sure they don't look dead. Maybe a tad more extra scenery to spice up the slide a little; it looks fine to me as it is by just looking at it, but this is Disney. For example, if it were to be a lighthouse themed slide, why not make it higher with a winding queue up the hill it would be perched upon to make it feel more real, something trademark of Disney? I like how on the black building that you changed the path type inside from the outside, and I think it would be better if you did the same with the building on the upper left as it seems like some path in that builiding is tarmac like the outside and some tile like the black building. The bridge would probably do better with some arches supporting it.

Onto the things I do like, particularily the fact that the building sizes, shapes, and colors vary more than in previous screens, although for accuracy reasons it was probably better to keep to the minimun of colors in the other sections. I have recently returned from Boston and can say you've captured the feel of it even if Boston today doesn't necessarily look as it did way back. The lampost, flags, and awnings on the buildings are used very effectively and accurately, and your condensed style fits this and the other screens that you've showed very well.

Wow thats really nice. But one thing thatt bugs me are the black bushes on the lower right of the screen. There aren't any black bushes that exist (to my knowledge) on earth execpt when they are caught on fire.

I hope that slide isn't supposed to be the lighthouse. Come on, dude.

Good architecture, but the colors are horrible. It may be just me, but it just looks weird how one building is completely black, another green, another red, etc. without any interaction of colors. Plus those large awnings are one of the worst customm scenery objects I've seen. They look like shit. Stick to the small ones. Plus in that last screen, the large awning goes right over some windows too.

I know I've commented in on this screen before but everytime I look at it the atmosphere gets better and better, only other thing besides balconys that it needs is to orginize the colors better and some of the things other people posted above. Nice work though.

I agree with him, but would to add that the colors aren't really reminiscent of a New England Waterfront...especially the booger green building in the top right. Stick with blacks, browns, blues, and reds I would guess. Also, try to find some pictures of the Jaws ride at Universal Orlando. That ride does an amazing job of capturing the New England theme, even though the ride sucked and there are no Hess stations around here, let alone gas refineries that blow up. I'm off track. The Jaws ride has good New England architecture. That is all.

PS - I was just looking at pictures of the "Amity" area at Universal Orlando, and I noticed a sign in the area that said "New Bedford," which is cool cos I live right next to New Bedford and can see New Bedford Harbor if I stand in my street. Of course, New Bedford has since grown from a bustling harbor town to a bustling harbor accompanied by a giant low-class ghetto city, but it's still cool to see my home areas mentioned at Universal. Way off topic. Sorry.

Wow, thanks for the variety of feedback! This might be the most constructive around of criticism I've received, and I'll look into that. Special thanks goes to Phatage for the nice analysis. That's heavily appreciated. Also, Mike, sorry, but I happen to love those sort of awnings. I guess it's a preference thing, LOL, but those are staying.

Can't please everyone I suppose.

Anyway, keep the comments coming. I think the next screen might be a lot more generally pleasing, though. So far the screens I've chosen to reveal have been purposefully hit-or-miss. Also, my parks tend to require encompassing experience, which means moving around and rotating views to get a feel (kinda like Aero does), so one screen never shows much. That's done on purpose, of course. Hopefully, when the park is released, people will be pleasantly surprised. That's my goal at least, and if I fail, well, there's always another park. I'm personally pretty happy with the park, but every bit of criticism is welcome, and I'm definitely glad people aren't just going " drool drool drool" on everything. While that's pretty cool in small doses, after a while it does get pointless after a while, so props to everyone for not being mindless drones!

Also, this park ran into some land constraints, which explains why the lighthouse is... well... unflattering.

That's a poor excuse.

The lighthouse is awful.
With or without "land restraints" you could do better.

The rest is nice though, keep that stuff up.

That last screen is FUCKING AWFUL . sorry. All of it makes me feel sick.

The black rooves
the bush selection,
the style of architecture
that weird looking wood thing at the bottom.

Im sorry Corky, but..You suck.
