Paperman's Flight
Climb aboard Paperman's Flight, a fast paced thrill ride that lets guests swoop and soar through 1940s New York City along to an enchanting score. Weave your way through the city skyline, flying atop a paper airplane in pursuit of an elusive chance at love!
This family friendly coaster transports guests to a time of simple beauty and optimistic romance. It has a unique feeling of flight with swinging cars on an excitingly curved track that takes guests all through New York.
Like the Disney short film the ride is inspired by, Paperman's Flight is entirely in grayscale with a few small pops of bright red. The ride will employ lighting effects to give this grayscale colouring to guests, slowly increasing throughout the queue until becoming fully greyscale as guests board their ride vehicles.
This project was created with Adobe Photoshop, SketchUp, and AutoCAD. The concept art, sign, ride vehicle, and costumes were all digitally painted in Photoshop from reference images. I then modeled out the ride vehicle in 3D in SketchUp and exported a 2D image to paint over to finish off the concept art. I created the ride groundplan in AutoCAD and then brought it into SketchUp to create a 3D block model of the ride.
