Pirate ride questions

Describe reaction: I honestly thought it was pretty cool. I don't remember much from the florida Pirates of the Caribbean ride, but I remember it not being as cool as this one. I really liked how believable the screens with the images were – they were incorporated very well into the ride. I also loved that if felt interactive in parts, such as cannons flying in the water when the two ships were firing at each other. Having components such as these (in which the the things that happen aren't just off to the sides) is an integral part in making the ride unique and fun. The mix between computer and animatronic was also very well balanced What connections did you make with the work? Discuss elements that you were able to connect: I connected to the work through its fantastical elements. Pirates of the Caribbean is known to have fantastical material in it, but the ride really made use of what the movies showed. For example: the ride depicted mermaids, Davy Jones' crew,

Wakanda Theme Park Extended

Isa Correa Hayley Schaeffer Synopsis Extended: Our Wakanda theme park will feature a story that takes place years after the events of the film. Wakanda has opened to the public for the first time ever, allowing visitors from all over the world to tour and educate. However some groups in Wakanda are more reluctant on breaking tradition... The initial opening to refugees was popularly supported by the entirety of the Wakandan people.

Wakanda Theme Park Synopsis

Isa Correa Hayley Schaeffer Synopsis Our Wakanda theme park will feature a story that takes place years after the events of the film. Wakanda has opened to the public for the first time ever, allowing visitors from all over the world to tour and educate. However some groups in Wakanda are more reluctant to breaking tradition, which may lead to uprising and unrest... Our park is an indoor dome made to appear as a forest on the outside-  similar to how Wakanda is hidden in plain sight. Inside, it is sectioned in four different areas corresponding to the main tribes of Wakanda – the center being a city area where all the tribes converge. When entering, the visitor will see the cave entrance to the Vibranium mine, which is in the shape of a giant black panther. This will be the entrance to the park's largest attraction and its "weenie". It is stationed in the opposite of the entrance, but is able to be seen upon arrival due to it's elevation, massiveness, and wow-f

Architecture

"The Built Environment" Structures are built "as needed" around the cliffs. The structures are built on top of the rocks, usually from around the middle towards the top. Small structures are built on top of the cliffs, but not much at all. Topography is important, they preserve as much as possible. There are pulley and rope systems that let the Altumiums go up and down the cliffs. There are small paths made up on top of the cliffs towards "safe" areas where the gatherers go to gather materials (fruit, plants, wood, stone). Homes are also situated inside of the cliffs, as well as temples and places of storage. The storage area is where the people get their supplies and food Green space is all around them, as the natural environment is very important to them. The tops of the cliffs especially is an expansive green space. Commercial structures are pretty much nonexistent (aside from like a small tourist shop set up by the foreigners ) Leisure build

Sociology

Sociology Conformist - most of the people in Altum are conformists. Because of the way the society is cultivated and how the younglings are raised, conformism is encouraged to aid in the betterment of the community. Innovator - the very early Altumiums split into two "clans". The Altumiums that wanted to travel and find new resources for their people are considered innovators Rebel - probably one or two Altumiums -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What kind of deviant is your world?

Anthropology

Anthropology - Imagining Cultures Write a Xenology Report Family Structure: What's a family? Who are kin? What is marriage and its arrangement? - Tend to rely more on cliques of sorts, groups in which people take care of each other and their young – there isn't necessarily the "nuclear" family that our society is used to. - May be blood related, and may not - Marriage as the concept we know isn't a part of this culture. There are mated, monogamous pairs however Sexual Regulations: Who can consent? What is incest? - Usually find pair from separate group? - I'll come back to this Body decoration and clothing: Describe? - Clothing made from skins and pelts of animals on the clifftops are provided but not exactly necessary – the climate is always warm, but useful for those that travel to the colder areas - Decorations scavenged from ocean materials are worn to signify roles in society (ex: hunter, medic, artisan) Material culture: manners, holid
