Old norse translation: Home of the called ones
A concept for a themed narrative amusement park area. In a Celtic/Viking theme.
Everything below is still very much in the concept fase, and is very likely to change in the future. This project is due to release: June 2026.
For my graduation project I am creating a narrative experience in the shape of a themed amusement park area.
With various themed rides and areas to explore.
What else is to come:
- Pitchbible
A small book which holds the entire concept and story of the park area.
- DIORAMA
A small scale version of the entire park area.
- 3 scale models
One for each of the passenger carts of the different rides.
- Trailer
A short video going summarizing the contents of the area.
- Theme music
A special edited soundtracks capturing the overall theme and tone of each area.
Illustrator and SketchUp
I am currently working on a metric version of the park-layout in Adobe Illustrator. Researching the proper measurements required for each segment.
When the final layout is ready, I will create the design in the 3D program SketchUp. To get a real sense of scale.
I also want to give the restaurant, walkthrough-village, toilets and dark ride some extra detail attention and detail.
Uppfos
Old Norse translation: Rising waterfall
A spinning teacups ride, where the passengers play a crucial role in the pumping mechanics of a huge water pumping system.
Story
The constant spillage of the dam is slowly flooding the area. Therefore the village has decided to build a large steam driven water pump. But this giant machine is far from perfect and has the tendency to break down, due to the excessive amounts of water it is forced to pump.
FóliMyrkr
Old Norse translation; Stolen hidden darkness
A dark ride where the guests descend deep into an ancient tomb which has been converted into a mine.
Here the passengers will ride a special mining cart which has been equipped with a special lantern.
Travel through glistening ever changing caverns filled with ancient and forgotten treasures and wonders.
Story
When excavating the surrounding lands, the humans discover an old forgotten tomb.
As the earth below is filled with precious ore, the tomb quickly gets converted into a mine. Not long after the sleeping spirits awaken from their slumber. Wanting noting less than to drive away the miners. Utilizing the crystals they find in the caverns, they manage to keep the vengeful spirits at bay. But not for too long as the crystal lamp often gets blown out by the unnatural gusts of subterranean winds.
Carnyx
An ancient celtic war horn which was used to instill fear into the hearts of the enemy.
A train based launch coaster where the guests take a wild ride on a haunted half exploded ship.
With flames bursting from the seams, it still soars through water, wood and stone, whilst letting out it's ear deafening screech.
Story
The vengeful cries of the water goddess has awoken a sunken haunted warship. This haunted ship would smash through any in-/outgoing ships near the coastal region of the village. In response to this threat; the humans began sailing out decoy ships, that have been filled with explosives. So as the warship soars, it gets blown to bits. Travel and trade then resumes during its regeneration period.
