PCA 2024 Nominated Disneyland Park Colorado

Fantastic additions, everything looks so tightly organized and detailed. What @Wowman mentioned is something I never really thought about with themed areas in parks (I'm not much of a park designer here, haha) - I've never noticed how to properly transition from one area to the next but you did it pretty well! Amazing update as usual, excited to see what you do next!

[Disneyland Colorado Resort]

Hello! I've got a new update for Disneyland Park Colorado with the early development of Fantasyland's newest sub-area, Dumbo's Circus and its two attractions as well as the completion of the trail from Treasure Cove to Fantasyland. Let's get into it!

 

Let's head back to Fantasyland, moving along the finished trail through Frontierland.

Moving back into Fantasyland, past the Be Our Guest Restaurant, you can already see the initial progress of the Dumbo's Circus sub-area ahead.

Here's a look at Fantasyland's new Ice Cream cart, near Be Our Guest.

A pretty cool picture looking towards part of the Storybook Village sub-area. You can see The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh on the left as well as the spires and top of Cinderella's Castle, on the right.

Now, let's look at the Dumbo's Circus sub-area in its early development. The first attraction has been completed which is Dumbo the Flying Elephant, seen in the images below.

The last two images show the stairway and entrance for Casey Jr's Circus Train, the other attraction in this small sub-area.

Thanks for checking out my newest update!

 

[Wowman]

love this park and the Dumbo area is awesome

[JB]

The Casey Jr. entrance looks great! I especially like the staircase with the rockwork planters on either side.

[iEddiez]

Loving the detail. A painstaking process, I am sure. Really nice update.

[jaronimo.mov]

I am LOVING THIS! The attention to detail, the layout, everything!! Very well done, is this all custom scenery? I'm not familiar with Planet Coaster and its scenery abilities.

[wolfpaw]

I love how you're not just changing the foliage of the park to match the new setting, but you're also taking the landscape into consideration. Hills in Disney!? As a Floridian who has been going to WDW for many years, that is something that is very new to see in a park that resembles Magic Kingdom 

Great work so far, love what you're doing with the path edges too!

[Cody]

Dumbo looks awesome! I agree with Wolfpaw, the varying terrain is something new. I think the varying terrain helps add charm to some areas especially Fantasyland, makes it seem more whimsical and close to settings in movies.

 

Amazing as usual!!!

THIS! I couldn't quite place why this park looked so unique in the theme park sim world (at least from what I've seen), and apart from your wondrous ride theming, it's definitely the interactive landscape! There's a beautiful touch of realism brought to the park when you have actual steps leading you from one elevation to another.

Hello and welcome back for a quick little update with new Fantasyland details and developments.

Work has completed on the queue and loading area dock for the Casey Jr's Circus Train attraction as can be seen in the next few images. You also get a good look at the Fantasyland environment from this area!

Another attraction, just around the corner from the circus train is Storybook Land Canal Boats. The train will move around the area of the canal boats. Let's take a look at the early construction of this attraction! This attraction is very similar to the Storybook Land Canal Boats in Disneyland California and will have many miniature displays of different Disney storybooks and fairy tales including Pinocchio...

Brave...

 

The Three Little Pigs...

 

Alice in Wonderland...

Peter Pan...

and plenty more to see in the next update with the continued progress of this attraction! Thanks for checking this update out! :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

[JB]

Love the fanciful table umbrellas; very suitable for Fantasyland. I also love that you're including the Canal Boats; one of the few early Disneyland attractions to still survive. Monstro looks like he's holding his breath, and is about to explode! 

[wolfpaw]

Hahaha, love the custom-made Monstro!  Looking great as usual!

[Disneyland Colorado Resort]

Hey again! New update for Disneyland Park Colorado with the finished development of the Dumbo's Circus sub-area in Fantasyland as well as the finished development of the Storybook Land Canal Boats attraction.

Let's start with Storybook Land Canal Boats, continuing the progress from the last update. The final construction on the entrance/garden area for the attraction can be seen in the photo below:

The newest additions to the attraction include Aladdin...

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Sleeping Beauty...

The Princess and the Frog, The Wind in the Willows...

Frozen, Brave...

and The Little Mermaid.

Now let's check out the final details and construction of another Fantasyland attraction that was in progress in the previous update- Casey Jr. Circus Train.

The next set of photos show off the view from around the attraction's track.

 

Finally, we'll take a look at some of the final details from the finished small Dumbo's Circus sub-area.

Thanks for checking it out!

The Storybook Land landscaping looks great! Beautiful surroundings for Casey Jr. to chug through.

[wolfpaw]

Still so crazy for me to see a Disney park with mountains in the background, haha - very lovely scenery you have in this area. The foliage you have works very well with your layout, those shots of overlooking that stream you have are very beautiful. Nice work so far!

[iEddiez]

Everywhere you look there's a small detail to notice. Great update.

[Disneyland Colorado Resort]

Hello everyone! Lately, I've been making various tweaks and adjustments around previous areas in the park, outside of Fantasyland so new progress halted a bit these last couple months. I recently just started working on new developments again in the Storybook Village sub-area of the park which we'll check out with this quick update.

Before we get into these new details, let's check out a quick detail in the Fantasy Faire sub-area of Fantasyland. I added a menu to the Maurice's Treats food cart as you can see in the below image:

Now, onto new details in the Storybook Village sub-area of Fantasyland. In the next few images, you can see the completed entrance, exit and queue of the Storybook Land Canal Boats attraction:

 

 

Next, I'll give a sneak peek at the newest section being developed in the Storybook Village sub-area. The next two images show the early progress of the Mad Hatter shop and Mad Tea Party attraction in the land:

 

 

Since this was a quick update, the last few images will show off some different views and unseen details in the Fantasyland area of the park:

Thanks for checking out this update! See you next time with much more details!

Maurice says, "Try the grey stuff it's delicious!". I'm always delighted to see how "Disney" this park is.   Really nice job on the Storybook Land floral. (Monstro still makes me chuckle. ) The Mad Tea Party is looking elegant, beautiful, and fun.

I’m glad you’re enjoying the Disney charm I’ve been going for with this park! Storybook Land was a challenge at times but I’m especially happy with how the floral entrance turned out. I’m looking forward to sharing more with the Alice in Wonderland theme with this Mad Tea Party attraction, shop, as well as another surprise attraction soon that will fit well in the area. And I know monstro looks so goofy doesn’t he

[Cody]

This park is beautiful! I like how you are handling the Disney IPs with the Planet Coaster attractions, it is a bit tougher than what we have in RCT3. I might need to stop by Maurice's Treats, hopefully during the cold months you have hot chocolate.....or is this resort in a bubble . Excellent work! 

[Disneyland Colorado Resort]

Hey! Back for another update as I've made quite a bit of progress in the newest section of the Storybook Village sub-area in Fantasyland. Let's take a look at the new developments!

First, here is a view of the path that connects both sides of the Storybook Village area.

Just around the corner from here, you can find the Mad Hatter shop.

 

I also finished building the Mad Tea Party attraction as well as the queue area. The next few images show this progress.

 

Since finishing Mad Tea Party, I moved over to work on Alice's Curious Labyrinth- another attraction in the area. The next few images show off this progress:

That's all for this update! I'll be back soon as I finish this attraction as well as the start progress on the nearby Tangled dark-ride attraction.

I really like the Maze! It's very similar to the one at Disneyland Paris.

[Wabigbear]

I love the creativity and sense of FUN in this park!  You've certainly captured some of that "Disney Magic"...

 

[citytrader]

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, so just reread what everybody said, and pretend it's coming from me!!! 

 

[Disneyland Colorado Resort]

Hey everyone! I'm back for a new update in the Storybook Village sub-area of Fantasyland. Let's take a look at the latest progress as I've finished the Alice's Curious Labyrinth attraction and I've made some progress on the early development of the newest attraction and dark ride across the way... Tangled.

 

First, here are a couple photos of the final details on Alice's Curious Labyrinth:

 

In the next photo, you can see the exit area to this attraction as well as a sign, leading us across the path, to the Tangled dark ride attraction.

 

The last set of photos for this update will show of the early progress of Tangled- including the exterior facade, queue and show building interior.

That's all for today!   In the next update, we'll continue on the progress of the Tangled attraction!
