It begins a while back when I wanted to do a Chinese themed ride, and I spent a lot of time and thought the best way to introduce the environment will be a Chinese take out place. It eventually turns into this. It’s not what I had in mind in the beginning, but I quite like the turn out.
Ride Schematics
Queue: Seafood Buffet(White Dragon Horse) > Loading : Seating area > Ride: Kitchen > Freezer Room(shared by the reastaurant and mart) > Asian Mart(Pigsy) > Resident Corridor > Antique Shop(Sand Monk) > Chinese Medicine Shop(Hsuan Tsang) > Resident Corridor > Kung Fu Academy(Monkey King)

Ride Vehicle
The ride vehicle is in the shape of a round Chinese table, 6 person seater with a rotating center in the middle. Rider could rotate the table at different angles, adding an interactive experience. Guest who has previously experienced the ride, could turn the table to scare their friends.
Extra
- Doors with EXIT sign could be used as actual safty exit for the ride.
- There’s a storyteller wearing an Beijing Opera mask in the begining of the queue line telling the audience the back story of these legends. “Rumors has it….”
- The weapons of the group is displayed at the Monkey’s place.
- Each character’s shop is designed with a color scheme in mind, for example, the Sand Monk would be green.
- The ride facade is forshadowing the shops inside.
- Hsang Tsang is the only character that displayed as an animatronic, because he is a mortal.
- The other characters are presented in a shadow play style, and could perform transformation tricks.
I once again thanks to Nathan for this opportunity to showcase my work, otherwise I wouldn’t have the drive to finish anything. Also thanks for letting me be part of this students showcase, I probably had more experience than the students here, so I wish not to be top ranked, otherwise it wouldn’t be fair to the students.
