Nara Dreamland
SYWTBAI In-Project Easter Eggs
With this being my final imagineering project, a lot of my imagineering career has been in this competition. And with that some good memories that I thought would be nice call-backs to reference and tie-in with Nara Dreamland Here's the compiled list - Enjoy! (Links in green)
​
HOME MENU
​
- The Wix website is a tribute to our Cartoons & Cereal project from Season 14: Greatest Hits
​
- The poem is a spoof of Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley, a tale of a fallen Egyptian statue, which ties nicely in with the theme of Nara Dreamland. Moreover - I also used the poem in my Season 13: Get A Clue, Breaking Bad project
​
- The background is an old fashioned cartograph in the style of Game of Thrones, a reference to Season 15: Uniting Universal's Westeros in Universal Studios Sydney
​
ABOUT PAGE
​
- The artwork of Sleeping Beauty Castle is from 'The Castle' project in Season 16: Purists vs Innovators'. (It's also why Dreamland's Castle is called 'The Castle')
​
PARK TOUR
​
- Renaissance Street is themed to old fashioned European villages, a concept we explored for the Universal Plaza (CityWalk) section of Universal Sydney in Season 15: Uniting Universal
​
- Bushiland is based on the Samurai (in which Samurai Jack was the only relative anime I knew before the anime fifth prompt of Season 17)
​
- Around the World in 80 Days Concept Art is a tribute to my Tyrus Wong Bambi Concept Art from Project 2 in Season 16: Purists vs Innovators
​
- The 'Universe' of Relativity title is a subtle reference to the Steven 'Universe' attraction from Season 13: Get A Clue
​
- Above the Clouds was the fifth project from Season 17: The International Edition for Tokyo Disneyland (that after the buyout from Disney, moved and was revitalized to Nara Dreamland)
​
- Escape from Major Sunim and the town of Xyloto, is a reference to the Cartoons and Cereal 'Car Kids' attraction from Season 14: Greatest Hits. It's actually set in the same universe, based on a song from the same Coldplay album (Major Minus), which is Sunim spelled backward.
​
- It's also the reason why Charlie Brown by Coldplay is the song playing in the background (as that was the theme song for Car Kids)
​
- The 'blacklight'/'neon' concept art used for Escape from Major Sinum is a tribute to my Tron blacklight concept art from Project 3 of Season 16: Purists vs Innovators
​
- The Centrifuge Gelato in Cosmicland is named after The Centrifuge Brain Project in Season 14: Greatest Hits
​
- Galactic Hut is a reference to Team Hightower's Galactic Bounty Hunters attraction from Season 13: Get A Clue
