Back to the Croodaceous: Queue Line Design for a Live Show
(School Project)
Orlando, FL, USA
Back to THE CROODaceouS is a queue line designed for a live show in Universal Studios Orlando. The focal point of this project is creating a unique experience before a determined show, where guests can feel attracted to a story before the actual attraction, allowing them to have an engaging experience throughout all the show. The time before the attraction is as important as the attraction itself, and a great opportunity to entertain and offer the guests opportunities to interact with the story with more time. In this project, the guests start a journey trying to join the Croods to be part of their adventure discovering The Croodaceous Era.
Queue Theme: Transition from the Croods' Cave to the discovery of the Earth during the Croodaceous, a time where flora, fauna, and important prehistoric elements are interestingly different from what we know nowadays.
Story: The guests start their journey walking into the Crood’s cave and once in there, they discover it has been destroyed. The next step is to follow their traces to find out the new and fascinating land that is just across the cave. They'll be in touch with unique flora and fauna, and will experience different adventures that would take them to the Croods and finally continue the journey with them.
