Discovery Bay is the second part to the Imaginaria Resort. This
section, themed to a Jules Verne-ish Victorian view of the future, is
different than most theme parks. Here museums and institutes of
research stand side-by-side with amusements similar to what is done at
EPCOT and areas of the Disney World Resort.
Many of my ideas were based on sketches made for a planned, but never
realized, concept sketch to construct an actual area of the Disneyland
Resort with a Victorian/Jules Verne theme that had proved popular at
the Disneyland Paris Resort, as well as a series of futuristic posters
at DLParis illustrating a Victorian view of what the present would be
like. However, this remains a fantasy park, and bears little or no
relation to any real theme park, nor to any true Disney styling.
There are several sections to the park...the entrance leads to a small
re-creation of a turn of the century exhibition park with small
sections themed to various countries called "White City' These
sections are themed for such diverse countries as Egypt, Greece, Italy
and even China. There is also a large 'Crystal Carnival' building
holding many gentle rides. Further along are several neo-classical
exhibition buildings like those found at World's Fairs and exhibitions
of that period and a Grand Arch.
