Title: Need some help! (Blueprints, schematics, etc.)
Post by: monster_fodder on September 12, 2011, 06:25:54 PM
Hey there. I'm about to embark on a fairly ambitious Home Imagineering project to redevelop the Walt Disney Studios park. I'd like to get hold of basic blueprints or architectural plans for the park as it currently exists - does anyone have any they'd be willing to share, or know of any websites where I could find them? I've tried multiple Google image searches, without success.

Any help or advice you can offer will be very gratefully received!

What I usually do is get onto photoshop and  combine this partial map of the park (like this one:)

http://www.dlrptoday.com/images/2009/12 ... lle_01.jpg (http://www.dlrptoday.com/images/2009/12/28_ratatouille_01.jpg%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)

...with a screenshot of a google maps image of the park, such as one like this:

 I then get a sheet of paper and trace the park's existing layout before sketching in my ideas and plans. I then scan this sheet of paper and add colour, graphics etc in Photoshop.

I hope this was of some help. I realise it's not much good if your not a Photoshop user, but best of luck! :)

By the way, the most recent satellite image of the studios is on Bing Maps, but you need to be zoomed out a bit to see it. I hope that helps. :)

Thanks, guys. That's a great help! One more question, if I may though - does anyone have any detailed plans of the Studio 1 building? Particularly elevations, interior layout, etc.? I know it's not the sort of stuff that's easy to come by, but I figure if anyone is going to have that sort of thing, it'll be someone on these boards!

Thanks again!
