Modeling Disney: The Parks in 3D

Towers #4 & 6 appear to be identical. Here we show the completed #6 on the NE corner of the castle rampart (fortified defensive wall).

Modeling symmetry can get messy. Here we see two layers of crenellation, or battlement on Towers 4 & 6. Crenellation is defined as "a type of battlement featuring a pattern of solid blocks (merlons) and open gaps (crenels) at the top of a wall".

New (updated) blueprints mean work has resumed! Working on towers 4 & 6 this morning.

"Miral is footing the entire bill for building the park. (New theme parks of this scale typically cost $5 billion or more.)

In addition to paying for construction, Miral will pay Disney to design the rides, shops, restaurants and accompanying hotels. Once the park is open, Disney will receive royalties for the use of its characters as a percentage of revenue, according to a securities filing. Disney will also receive other fees."

Disneyland Abu Dhabi could become a growth engine for the company in the region. It could also expose Disney and its vaunted brand to criticism.

For years we've wanted to hang Disneyland attraction posters up on our office walls... but were unsure of the quality from sellers on Etsy or eBay (the 3 we currently have were purchased at the park).

So I tried my hand at re-drawing one from scratch so that it can be printed at any size without loss of quality. How does this look to you?

Blast from the past! Rocket Jets in Tomorrowland... NOT an opening day attraction, they were a much improved version of the Astro-Jets that came before them.

Next we'll work on the PeopleMover loading area that was on the 2nd floor and the moving walkway (sponsored by Goodyear).
