TAFI Showcase #3: Dinoland by ctxak98

This was one of ctxak98's many steps to becoming the runner up of Master of the Parks Season 1. It was his design for Challenge 3: the ultimate redesign of Dinoland U.S.A. at Disney's Animal Kingdom. With his art skills and convincing concept, it was in this challenge that he let everyone know he was there to stay. Enjoy the expedition...

Ok first I want to describe what my land is all about. I recently did revamp Dinoland in another thread here so I wanted to incorporate those ideas but still change them at the same time. Either way the ideas were mine and are completely Original. So I didnt copy is what I am trying to get at.

I wanted Dinoland to be more cohesive as a land. I felt Asia and Africa all have aunified look and thats what I want for Dinoland so what I created is a land with a more Natural and wild look to it to make it seem like dinosaurs could live there, yet still incorporate the Dino Institute story.

The story goes that the Dino Institute has started research in the area and has closed it off from the public for a couple of years. The area is now being opened to the guests to explore and get a hands on view of what these scientists and paleontologists do everyday. The land will include many differant elements in it now. The whole Chester and Hester carnival area will be nothing but a mere nightmare after this transformation. The ride, show, food, shoppping and Museums will all be unique to the area. The rides and shows include Mesozoic Miners, Prehistoric Caverns, Countdown to Extinction, Iguanodon Encounter, Age of the Dinosaurs, The Boneyard, and The beggining of Time. Not to mention some food and shops I will go into detail about later.

Here is a quick map I did of the area. VERY QUICK. and is missing a resteraunt I added later on im my process.
