Project Manager - Fabrication at Themed Entertainment Projects-Let’s talk about your project.

During the planning of the Haunted Rose Presents Threshold of Darkness, I implemented a story concept that I haven't seen utilized in other haunted attractions. We had a very elaborate Frankenstein/ Dr. Jekyll Lab Scene that would feature a confrontation between. Dr Frankenstein's monster and a transformed Dr. Henry Jekyll into Mr. Hyde. This scene would play out every thirty seconds in front of our guests. Because we knew schedules wouldn't allow for all characters to be present in this scene every single night of the run, we came up with contingency scenarios, that would enable the talent to play through the scene in any combination to a successful narrative. Scenario 1: Dr. Jekyll drinks the transformation formula and steps behind the curtain as alternative build talent emerges as Mr. Hyde, frankensteins monster breaks free from his restraints and they proceed to fight as the guests exit the scene. 3 Talent Max Scenario https://lnkd.in/gvCcQB_9 Scenario 2: Dr. Jekyll plays as Dr. Frankenstein instead with Talent dressed as Igor to resurrect the monster. Monster breaks free as the guests exit the scene. 2 Talent Max Scenario https://lnkd.in/gHkDKuYh Scenario 3: Dr. Jekyll plays Dr. Frankenstein and stops the Frankenstein monster from rising from the table with a heart stopper syringe. 2 Talent Max Scenario https://lnkd.in/gzr52TcA Scenario 4: Dr Jekyll delivers narrative that he is struggling to hold back Mr. Hyde taking hold over his body. Guests view his struggle while exiting the scene. 1 Talent Max Scenario https://lnkd.in/gSFciuH2 In creating these engaging variations on the same scene we ensured that the guests got an impactful experience no matter how many talent could be available for this scene and stayed true to a strong narrative. Story first always. #story #attractiondesign #narrativesolutions #awesomeshow
