I've already posted this on another thread, but it isn't that popular, so I decided to add it on here as well if anyone was interested, regarding to Airs future.
Anyhow, I here because I've just finished some air concept art of my own. I've had a lot of time to do this since I caught the 'you know what' bug. This is what I'd do if Galactica was to be Rethemed back to air. I haven't done all the Sketches yet, but here are the completed ones. Each drawing has a number labeled by them. I'll describe what they are for you all. Anywho, here they are, hope you guys like them
1.
Updated Height Restriction sign, is to be based by the main entrance.
2.
Main entrance area, logo is kept the same, but signs are altered to suit with the futuristic design more, same with the bars holding them. Altered rockwork by the Pram area to be more realistic.
3.
Updated sign, indicating where the entrance to the ride is, to be located where the old one was by the Air Shop, now roller Coaster restaurant.
4.
Rethemed Galactica Portal, now with themed rockwork on its base, that along with a pond, a waterfall, and a mini Geyser fountain. Main portal is painted into Airs style and is partly demolished to create an abandoned portal look as the Ride passes through it.
5.
Rebuilt air shop, Galacticas current Gift shop is reduced with the Ride photo purchase shrunk for space. Reintroducing the observation view, but still not as big as the original one as the shop still takes space at the end of it. New facade will have a curved face, with new windows, that reminiscent of Air Shops old windows, but with slanted panels, again, for a futuristic look.
6.
New Info Sign in the queue, showing the rides history, such as its opening, its retheme into Galactica, and its supposedly present state. Also a little Easter egg of Galacticas logo carved into the rock structure.
7.
Pre Lift Hill Tunnel, surprised? Probably not. Now overhauled, with lighting and some inspiration taken from the original concept art of the tunnel. (E.g. the fan on the floor and the lights.) The wall outside of the station were the trains first enter now spells on the left side 'now' and the right one saying 'fly', in order to create the famous "Now Fly" quote on the wall before you ascend up the lifthill
Hope you guys enjoyed these ideas. New ideas will hopefully be here soon on my next post here.
