Centercore expo
Backstory by @PerGron, artwork by @Outbound
Set in the near future, CenterCore Expo is a land focusing on progress towards a green utopian future, through scientific advancement in all different fields, from atomic discovery to agriculture, energy, resource conservation, and a good look at the future.
However, all of that changed when billionaire playboy philanthropist Tony Stark rolled into town, asking to take part in the expo to show off his newest tech from Stark Industries. Now, Iron Man himself has brought some of his other friends, including Scott Lang (Ant-Man), Sam Wilson (Falcon), and King T’Challa (Black Panther) who are all visiting the expo for a meet and greet.
Guests can shrink down to microscopic levels and get down to ride rapidly through a subatomic world, explore the wonders of energy and agriculture, and discover the amazing possibilities for the future, as well as look through some of the most exciting advancements in technology in the CenterCoreWorld Exhibition, as well as take a scenic trip around the expo in the CenterCore PeopleMover.
Our goal is for every guest to discover the amazingness that is science and technology as well as to inspire everyone to come together and inspire hope for the future. Guests who visit will hopefully take away more than just the excitement of a theme park, but a new outlook on the future.
The themes of CenterCore Expo can be felt throughout the architecture and aesthetics of the land.
Much of the look of the land is a modernized take on the original style of EPCOT Center. Distinct architecture with unique designs, but never overcomplicated. Simple lines, clean curves, dynamic shapes. These designs call to mind the optimism and spirit of discovery found at the start of the age of information when the internet/computers were new in the 80s.
There is also inspiration taken from Tokyo Disneyland's Tomorrowland. The simple color scheme, consistent visuals, and a modern look at the future. These designs call to mind a tomorrow full of promise and progress. A utopia we can all strive for. While still being distinct enough from reality to aid in enough suspension of disbelief of the sci-fi elements at play in the land.
These inspirations are tied with an increased focus on the natural world with the seaside theme and the greenery compared to epcot/tomorrowland. Showing that the best future is a sustainable one. One where as tech evolves, so does our connection to the earth!
All of this culminates in a lovely and inspiring land unlike any other where every visual detail adds to the thematic meaning of the land!
Wall-e
Roaming around the center of the expo, lucky guests may get the chance to discover Wall-E, a roaming animatronic who will interact with guests, posing for pictures, or just examining the world around him. Wall-E generally sticks to the center of the land, so guests looking for this unique meet and greet experience will want to hang around that area for the chance to spot him. Unfortunately, the sword holding mechanism didn't work on poor Wall-E, but we'll get them next time!
