Lady Macbeth (Act 1; Scene V):

Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; and shalt be
What thou art promised: yet do I fear thy nature;
It is too full o’ the milk of human kindness
To catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great;
Art not without ambition, but without
The illness should attend it: what thou wouldst highly,
That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false,
And yet wouldst wrongly win:
thou’ldst have, great Glamis,
That which cries ‘Thus thou must do, if thou have it;
And that which rather thou dost fear to do
Than wishest should be undone.’ Hie thee hither,
That I may pour my spirits in thine ear;
And chastise with the valour of my tongue
All that impedes thee from the golden round,
Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem
To have thee crown’d withal.

Macbeth (Act 1; Scene VII):

He’s here in double trust;
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,
Who should against his murderer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against
The deep damnation of his taking-off;
And pity, like a naked new-born babe,
Striding the blast, or heaven’s cherubim, horsed
Upon the sightless couriers of the air,
Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye,
That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself
And falls on the other.

New Disney Land Attraction Design

/in /by

This project to design a new attraction(ex: roller coaster/just any kinds of ride) for Disneyland park. The project is based on adapting the Disney film, “TANGLED”.

Part I: Story & Character (150-175  words)

1. Story analysis of the film. What is the story about (do not give a plot summary): What are the major themes? Is there a moral? What is the central dramatic question? How does the story lend itself to theme park adaptation? What specific approach to adaptation will you take? (Retelling the Story, Recreating a moment, Expanding the Story, Reapplying the Characters, or Going Behind the Scenes?)  Keep this section as concise as possible.

2. Character discussion: Who is your lead character? The lead character(s) of your attraction might NOT be the lead character of the film. What do they want in the film: their goals, their desires how are those different for your attraction? What are the important/iconic elements of the character? Keep this section as concise as possible.

Part II: The Pre-show  (125-175  words)

1. Design the queue area: Identify the location or land of the attraction (i.e Pirates is in New Orleans Square/Dumbo in Fantasyland). How are you going to build anticipation for the experience? How will you reinforce the attraction and make the queue part of the experience.  What is the mood you want to create? Will it be a switchback? Will there be interactive portions? Use video?

2. Design the costumes: Design costumes for the cast members who get you on (or in) and off (or out) of your attractions. How are their costumes setting the mood and reinforcing the story? Is it time specific? What colors will you use? Will it change with the seasons? 

Part III: The Show (The heart of the attraction) (250 – 450 words)

1. What is the story of your attraction? This is not necessarily the story of the film. Is the story experiential, implicit, or explicit? How will you maintain the integrity of character?

2. How are you going to tell the story? Is it a dark ride, a roller coaster or an interactive performance? How will you move the guests thru the attraction? Will you use an  omnimover? If so, what will it look like?

3. Identify how you will control the gaze of the audience. What will guest see?

4. How will you incorporate the animation from the film?

5. What is the sound design? What music will you use?  Be specific.

6. Any special effects? Be specific. Use examples from other Disney Resorts Attractions to illustrate your point (i.e the Peppers Ghost technique used in The Haunted Mansion or audio-animatronics as used in Small World or Pirates of the Caribbean)

7. How long is the ride?
