Lethosos Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Re: Post-Apocolyptic Disney World I did wonder what Disney World would be like in a post-apocalyptic world, but decided that if the Monorails weren't working, why bother?

clsage Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Re: Post-Apocolyptic Disney World I saw the thread name and thought of a short story published some time back in the Sunday magazine section of The Orlando Sentinel. It was entitled "The Magic King" (as I recall...my copy is buried in storage right now). The name derives from the various road signs littering the area..... As an aside, I often had some post-apocalyptic thoughts myself during various late nights as a Cast Member. Empty walkways, prowled by the occasional "castle cat" (feral cats who have migrated into the park(s) after hours)... -Carl- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethosos Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Re: Post-Apocolyptic Disney World Let's not forget the miles and miles of maintenance tunnels under each section of the park grounds.

What with the old Disney family apartment(s), "hidden" elevator, etc. And the Utilidors have a few dead ends in them (as I recall) that could well serve as "monster lairs". -Carl- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethosos Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Re: Post-Apocolyptic Disney World I suspect the World Pavilion provides a different sort of arrangement involved when it comes to park maintenance, but it's something to research on, if nothing else. Given Buena Vista, I suspect the World lake was originally a natural lake, inferring to a decentralized ring behind or under the individual Pavilions (given the Matterhorn plans, of course.)

Given Buena Vista, I suspect the World lake was originally a natural lake, inferring to a decentralized ring behind or under the individual Pavilions (given the Matterhorn plans, of course.)[/quote'] Slight digression: As I recall my Traditions 1 class notes, fragments of what became Bay Lake and The Seven Seas Lagoon were in place but were enhanced by dredging and some expansion. The white sand on the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon in fact is supposed to have been exposed from the muck and relocated to the shoreline at such resorts as The Polynesian, etc. As far as I am aware, most of World Showcase Lagoon is man-made or at least significantly enhanced from the wetlands that were the site of EPCOT. Primary service access at EPCOT (and Disneys' Animal Kingdom and what was called (during my tenure with the company) The Disney/MGM Studios (tho' that contract has ended and the name since changed)) is/was via radial service roads, most of which ring the park(s) in question. The Matterhorn Bobsleds are at the original park in CA. Expedition Everest, which has Matterhorn-esque elements, is in FL at Disneys' Animal Kingdom. I admit limited knowledge of service facilities at the CA park(s), with the exception of noting Cast Members crossing the park in costume during their shift change, which implies a lack of Utilidors there. End slight digression...... :D -Carl- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethosos Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Re: Post-Apocolyptic Disney World and some expansion. The white sand on the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon in fact is supposed to have been exposed from the muck and relocated to the shoreline at such resorts as The Polynesian' date=' etc.[/quote'] White lakebed sand is quite common across FL, as it makes up part of the natural loam soil. It's the freakin' lakeweeds that cover up most of it. The Matterhorn Bobsleds are at the original park in CA. Expedition Everest' date=' which has Matterhorn-esque elements, is in FL at Disneys' Animal Kingdom.[/quote'] I'm quite aware of Disney CA being the home of the Matterhorn, but there was plans of adding a Matterhorn-like ride somewhere just behind the Pavilion ring--I think it may be Mt. Kiljamaro for an Africa Pavilion, but since it's been so long since I've been there, I'm not too sure of what the actual name would've been--so I called it "Matterhorn." (And if there was one, it'd be behind the Germany Pavilion. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadmaster Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Re: Post-Apocolyptic Disney World There was a 3rd party Twilight 2000 module partially set in a PA Disneyland. There are tunnels under Disneyland allowing workers to move from place to place without disturbing the guests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FenrisUlf Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Re: Post-Apocolyptic Disney World There are tunnels under Disneyland allowing workers to move from place to place without disturbing the guests. And now for some sick reason (probably due to reading some of Robert Ressler's books on serial murder) I'm imagining a pedophilic killer working as a mascot at Disneyland, luring the little kiddies into the tunnels for a "game"... I wonder how long a clever killer could get away with stashing the bodies in out of the way places inside the park? Hmm, I wonder, if I wrote that story up and tried to sell it, would I get in trouble with the park proper for 'libeling' them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlyjoe Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Re: Post-Apocolyptic Disney World Well, lets see. I was working on a Fallout Florida game. I was going to use GURPS or HERO to run it. And I'm still seriously considering doing this game. But... http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=423910 There we go. Disney or more correctly Vault Disney featured heavily in the setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathewhayden10 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Re: Post-Apocolyptic Disney World Hello.. I think you have given really good pictures about Post-apocalyptic Disney world. I must say you have given a good web site which contains very good information and nice pictures. Thank you for sharing such a good information with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Re: Post-Apocolyptic Disney World Speaking of post-apocalyptic settings, the film 9 has some great visuals of a post-apoc world. Pity the story is a bit lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
