The Imperial Railway II: Ride Experience

This is part II of two-part series on The Imperial Railway. In this section, we will delve into the details of the ride experience. Let's begin the experience from the pre-show and queueing area. While the guests queue, they will snake through a victorian waiting room. Posters, artefacts and notice boards around the room are meticulously selected to tell the story of The Imperial Railway Company. The company (used to) run train services from the Imperial Central Station in luxurious trains that promise first-class quality services. I've drawn up a sample poster for the Imperial Railway Company, designed with reference to some of the early posters from Metropolitan Railway, London (1863).

Emperor's Gate is a facade concept for a mansion-type attraction at a theme park. This concept primarily explores the deep connection between baroque-style architecture and themepark place making, and ultimately how attraction architecture can create drama, anticipation and illusion.
