Virtual Disneyland Canada Project

Welcome to my virtual Disneyland Canada project!

This site has only one aim—to create a 3D model of my ideas for a Canadian Disneyland theme park available to anyone interested. I intend to work on it as often as I could so that it will grow continually. Disneyland Canada will never be completed because I'll always try to add new things or redesign some of its existing elements as long as I've got interest in this project.

For now, the best way to explore it is probably the blog archive. I'll be regularly updating this blog with sketches, blue prints, and renders of the model as it progresses from simple shapes to more or less complete park areas including attractions, restaurants, shops or whatsoever.

So why build a 3D model of an none-existing theme park? The answer is rather simple... because it doesn't exist! I've got the chance to give my fancy full scope. I'm not bound to any existing layouts or blueprints. In many ways Disneyland Canada will be very unique. It would be too boring for me to just dupluciate an entire theme park. So I decided to add some Disney magic to our beautiful Canada. In my opinion it would be great to have a park like that. Well, some people will disagree with me because of the weather, the climax, and the fact that North America already has two great Disney theme park resorts. But hey... it's just my imagination! I'm convinced that Disney will probably never build a canadian theme park anyway. So that's where the world of 3D modeling enters the stage. I'll be able to design and create three-dimensional models of my conceptual ideas for my very own canadian Disneyland. I'll do this by using the open source software Blender. Not only does this project allow me to let my visions become a virtual reality, but it is also a good way for me to share with you this bizarre yet delightful hobby.

By the way, I haven't legal rights to any part of the Walt Disney company, so I can't insist that you don't redistribute my renders and sketches. In fact, feel free to redistribute them as much as you'd like. I've come by this knowledge through entirely free and entirely legal means, and I'd like to spread it around. Please, just do me a favor and ask for permission and link back to this site. Thanks!
