OUR PLACE

Science & Technology Theme Park

— PROJECT NAME

Our Place blue Sky Development


— ROLE

Concept Design/Executive Producer



The subject of Science and Technology can be fascinating, as well as fun. Regardless of one’s interest level it is a subject that affects us all.


My goal in the design of this park was to facilitate the mutual enjoyment,

inspiration, and enlightenment of every visiting individual. Guests will

discover the wonders of the universe around them in a visceral and immersive format; an experience that will be fun, engaging, and educational.


The Park will be zoned into four sections: Our Place in Space, Our Place with the Seas, Our Place in Community, and Our Place on Earth. Each Zone

contains highly themed venues centered on the main concept of that Zone.

The "Our Place On Earth" zone includes over-sized exotic, vibrant flowers, insects, and bright foliage, rising up each side of the path and connecting overhead in a natural bridge above.

A pivotal scene from the exciting ride-through attraction Knowledge Quest – Time Warp.

In the Grotto Cafe guests will enjoy natural, organic foods.

In Planet Rescue, riders become environmental superheroes using their Grime Blasters. In this scene, they battle “Wastefools," See-O-Tools”, and “Envirobullies” as these creatures attempt to leave the fridge open, turn on and leave on the lights, plug everything in and dispose of waste improperly.

Terra Mars is located in the heart of a futuristic Mars colony. This luxurious rotating and elevating restaurant offers exciting cuisine, amazing and inspiring vistas, live entertainment and robotic servers.

The Terra Trek fantasy boat adventure begins as a “dry” tour lead by a monotonous narrator. At this point in the ride, the land itself slowly comes alive to make the tour fun and interesting.

Time travelers disembark from their journey through Knowledge Quest – an inspirational ride exploring the development of Our past, Our Dreams, and Our Potential as humans. Along the path it honors our ancestors, our synergy with nature, and our social responsibilities leading to a greater purpose in life together.

Time travelers face an anomaly as time periods collide.

Visitors board flying contraptions inspired by the inventions before flight became a common activity. In this scene they crash through an inventor’s workshop.

In the 4D Bridges Of Nature show, the relationship between nature and technology is explored.

The Aerosphere is an interactive planetarium show in which the seats travel out into the space being projected.
