Exploring possibilities for a ride vehicle keeping in mind that all customized parts will likely have to be imposed over an existing boat design (such as that found on It's a Small World).

After exploring multiple avenues, I chose a vehicle that looked like a sleeping plant because of its family-friendly appearance and life it brings to the attraction.

A few more sketches showing how guests will board their vehicle, what kind of "action" it may take them through, and how it scales up to the attraction's large antagonistic animatronic.

Final vehicle design painted to resemble a water hyacinth.
