SECTION 1: PROJECT OVERVIEW A. Narrative OBJECTIVE: To create a themed experience based on the parameters assigned: comedy, education, and the painting In the Time of Harmony by Paul Signac.

TAGLINE: New to the Planet? Come visit Frank’s Farm where you can learn all about those quirky humans and how to fit in.

LOGLINE: A wacky world of human exploration and farm antics await guests at Frank’s Farm, where two fun-loving aliens have set up a family-friendly attraction in the desert to teach all new aliens what it means to be human.

HIGH CONCEPT: Bal and Holden, the first two aliens to settle on Earth, welcome all new aliens to their home Frank’s Farm, named after the very important King Frank Dentistry. They will be your tour guides as you explore and see first-hand how humans live, play and work.

As you rumble by in your tractor, you’ll learn different facts about humans, like how they use small rectangular devices they hold in their hands to control the weather or about how they worship the Great Taco and its infamous bell.

Make Frank's Farm your first stop on Earth or risk becoming an outsider in your new home and looking like a fool.

Narrative contd.

OVERALL BACK STORY: In the not-too-distant past, aliens Bal and Holden crash-landed onto this planet we call Earth. After a little mix up with the back-up space fuel - Bal thought Holden grabbed it and Holden thought Bal grabbed it - their trip to the Andromeda Galaxy was brought to a sudden halt. They crash-landed right into the side of a mountain. Being among the first aliens to visit our domain, supplies to fix their ship weren’t readily available and it took quite a while to gather everything they needed from other aliens passing through.

During this time, Bal and Holden traveled the strange land they were stuck in, America. While they were in the city with tall buildings, they saw people going into a place called Taco Bell on a regular basis and assumed it was a very popular religion. While in the Midwest they saw a group of cows and humans running around them and assumed all humans must be afraid of cows. During a trip out West, they saw two men fighting over a screw. One man said it should be flat and the other said it should be rounded. Bal and Holden had no idea what they were talking about but knew it must be important. When one of the men threw it on the ground, Bal grabbed it quickly for their human museum. Throughout their travels, they began to fall in love with this strange planet. After all, it’s called “America the beautiful” for a good reason. Bal and Holden decided to stay in this beautiful land and build a home.

Now, they are trying to convince their families to share in their love, move here as well and join with them in their new mission. As more and more aliens start to arrive to this planet, they want to be the welcome center.

Sharing their new settlement with the new arrivals and educating them about humans and this bizarre land.

Narrative contd.

While Bal and Holden love their new home, they knew humans weren’t quite ready to accept them yet. Through their observations, Bal and Holden discovered humans need a lot of farms. So, they decided to disguise their home as a farm and build a barn right where their ship crash landed. They figured this should keep the humans out. Behind the ship, is located a massive cave system in the mountain that became the perfect place to hide the majority part of their settlement. Cows would be the perfect way to deter humans on the outside because, as they observed, humans are afraid of them. The first sign Bal and Holden saw when they landed on Earth was for Frank’s Dentistry office. Not knowing what a dental office was, they decided Frank must be very important to Earth if he has such a large sign he must be the king of the land. In his honor, they named their settlement Frank’s Farm.

Their earthly alien settlement was coming along wonderfully, with a dark ride tour of the United States of America, a casual dining restaurant, and an extensive human museum. However, when taking a closer look, it doesn’t quite make sense. It seems Bal and Holden got things wrong. The buildings look like they were made of scrap metal instead of wood, with strange odds and ends plastered on the walls. There seems to be way too many cows in odd places, like up the side of the mountain. What is a farm doing on the side of a mountain anyways? Big black boxes on stands are randomly placed throughout the land. Bal and Holden think they grew up overnight from the ground, but really, they’re cameras installed by the US government to keep an eye on the alien settlement.

Narrative contd.

CONCEPT OVERVIEW: Frank’s Farm is a fun experience for all ages. Throughout guests’ visit, they will experience an exploration into the human world through an alien’s perspective. The friendly aliens, in human suits, whom Bal and Holden have hired to help them run Frank’s Farm, are there to make sure everyone has a great time. Although, the cast members seem to be strangely dressed, such as wearing shirts backwards, bad wigs and shoe headbands. As they visit the land, guests will feel like they’ve stumbled upon a secret location where they are getting special access. Bal and Holden don’t even know they’ve been infiltrated by actual humans. This is because as guests arrive to their land, they inform all new aliens to make sure they are wearing their human suits to start practicing being human. If they need a new one, they can purchase it at the Barn.

Guests will come for the exciting dark ride attraction, custom merchandise, human museum attraction and the best in “farm” dining. Frank’s Farm will be a truly immersive experience that have guests wondering if humans are really that strange. If a human guest tries to explain to the cast members that they are human, the cast members will smile, nod, and say, “Good job practicing. That was very convincing.” Bal and Holden are excited to teach guests all they’ve learned and to help visitors really learn what it means to be human.

Narrative contd.

KEY CHARACTERS: Bal Bal is an alien that knows how to have fun, he can be a bit of a jokester at times. Although his imagination can get away from him, he always looks on the brighter side of life. Bal would never forget the back-up space fuel because he is in charge of the in-flight entertainment and Holden is in charge of grabbing the space fuel.

Holden Holden is proud of his organization and research skills. He wouldn’t call himself a negative being, but more of a realist. The universe can be a dark place and you must prepare for it. That’s why he would never forget something as important as the back-up space fuel and why he made sure to tell Bal to bring it.

Narrative contd.

LOCATIONS AND ATTRACTIONS: The Barn (retail store & attraction) Visit The Barn at Frank’s Farm, a cumulation of retail space and human museum. Here guests can buy all sorts of Frank’s Farm souvenirs, including alien key chains, cow plush dolls and even a toy tractor that looks like the ride vehicle. Located in the museum is a vast collection of human oddities and artifacts, but they are all labeled wrong. A single screw is placed on a pedestal with a shiny plaque humorously explaining a wrong fact about it.

Amelia Earhart’s missing plane hangs from the ceiling, but it’s missing pieces. It doesn’t even have a sign to tell guests what it is, as if Bal and Holden don’t realize what they have and are just using it as decoration. A poorly designed wax figure human is demonstrating how to use a blow dryer by blowing it on the grass. A plaque hangs on the wall explaining how the grass blower is to be used.

Farm Fresh America (Restaurant) Enjoy a great meal at Farm Fresh America, where you can have delicious American food. Such delights as chicken fried rice, sushi, tacos, strudel and so much more. It’s a truly authentic farm fresh experience. It’s a casual dining space where guests can pick up their order through a window in the rock wall and then eat in the multi-level silo. Paintings of wheat are on the walls that will make guests feel like they are truly inside a farm silo. Tracks with baskets of wheat travel above guests’ heads, transporting the wheat to the different floors.

Narrative contd.

Cloud Geysers (Splashpad) A splash pad that is disguised as geysers. Bal and Holden, while touring the desert noticed geysers were extra steamy and created clouds in the sky.

After their quick observation they believed that manipulation of the geysers could direct the clouds. They ask guests’ help in directing the water and creating clouds to help direct other aliens to the farm. The floor is a rocky surface with water geysers of cool water coming up from the ground.

Rockwork is built around the splashpad that comes to multiple pointed cones where misting water and steam comes out at the top. Lights shooting rainbow colors shine through the water that guests can interact with. Steam comes out of one side of the rock formations and guests can interact with it as well.

Discover America: The Ride (Dark Ride Attraction) Bal and Holden have gathered everything important in America and have compiled them into an exciting tour with a surprise around every corner.

They’ve built this mix between a dark ride and coaster for all the newcomer aliens, for their chance to learn everything they need to know to fit in to their new home.

B. Program I. GENERAL SUMMARY Frank’s Farm is an entire land, it includes a retail space and human museum that opens into a cavernous ravine that acts as a central hub. Off the hub is the dark ride experience that offers a tour of America, the land’s restaurant and a splash pad. Frank’s Farm is a fun experience for all ages and while they get quite a few human facts wrong, they put a lot of heart into teaching new aliens what it means to be human.

II. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES To offer a comedic, educational experience that will be sure to make guests laugh and have a fun time. Frank’s Farm is meant to be fun for the whole family, with something to appeal for everyone.

III. PURPOSE Frank's Farm can give local communities the opportunity it experience an E-Ticket attraction right in their own area regardless of financial obligation.

SECTION 3: ATTRACTION NARRATIVE Ride Storyboard

23

24

Scene #1: Queue Interior: Farmhouse Guests stroll through a makeshift farmhouse where things don’t quite seem to fit. The rooms are misshapen and the textures on the walls aren’t correct. A toothbrush can be found in the kitchen and a dishwasher in the bathroom. An apple tree is growing in one of the bedrooms and chickens are roaming on the bed in another. As guests exit the house, they enter Bal and Holden’s office where the pre-show is.

Scene #2: Pre-Show Interior: Office Bal and Holden (audio animatronics) welcome guests into their office. They explain this is where all the human research and planning goes down. TVs can be seen on the back wall turned to cartoons and old black and white comedy shows.

Newspaper articles from The Onion and Weekly World News are taped up on the walls. Bal and Holden explain how they crash landed on Earth and on one of the large video screens plays surveillance video of the crash. The aliens then share how they fell in love with this strange planet, but didn’t have any idea how to fit in. Now that they are pros on humanity, they wanted to open up Frank’s Farm to other newly arrived aliens and share the knowledge they’ve gained. “Welcome to Earth friends, and we hope you enjoy this tour of the United States.”

25

Scene #3: Post Pre-Show and Load Interior: Farm Guests load tractor ride vehicles that fit the farm theme. They feel excited to see the special access they are getting, a little silly at all the mistakes and yet a little hesitant as if they’re not supposed to be there. The tractors are various colors of red, blue, and green. Each tractor seats six guests. On the wall, a huge barn displays herds of grazing cows. As the guests board their tractors, looking forward to where the ride is heading, they see other farm structures and animals.

To their right, Bal and Holden are boarding their spaceship to lead the tour.

Holden says, “Watch out for those cows, they may fly up and hit you. I saw it in a documentary about Twisters.” Bal laughs, “Oh, don’t listen to him, sit back as we lower your lap bar, and we’ll show you our favorite parts of America!”

26

Scene #4: Leaving Station Interior: Farm The tractors leave the station with farm elements all around, but they are starting to fade away. Bal and Holden are projected on the wall in their spaceship. Holden says, “While we leave the farm, please notice the chickens roaming around, humans keep these for their shiny feathers. They use them in things like art and decorations.” Bal, “Now hold on as we speed things up.” The tractor picks up speed and quickly goes through a transitional rock formation, ending up in the desert.

Scene #5: Desert

Interior: Desert The tractors slow down a little as they pass through a desert scene. Cacti, mesas, and buttes (desert mountains and land formations) and desert foliage are surrounding the tractors. Guests can see a highway in the background with a billboard for Frank’s Dental alluding to how Frank’s Farm got its name. Bal and Holden explain when they first crash-landed, they set off looking for the king and to learn about this planet. They designed this tour to share the results of their travels. As the tractor is slowly going through the desert it comes upon a large hot air balloon. Other balloons can be seen in the distance, reminiscent of the Albuquerque International Balloon Festival. Holden says, “whatever you do, stay away from that balloon contraption. They eat humans, and they will probably enjoy eating aliens too.” Bal replied, “oh, don’t be so scared; balloons are completely safe, I’ll show you.” The guests’ tractor then turns arounds and is pulled into the balloon backwards. The balloon acts as an elevator and guests rise to the second level of the ride.

27

Scene #6: Hot Air Balloon Interior: Desert As the gusts go up the elevator backwards, they can now see out over the desert, stretched out in front of them. Guests get the feeling they are flying briefly through the sky. Hot air balloons lower from the ceiling and are eye level with the guests. Holden says, “No, get out of there! It’s not safe.” Bal replies, “oh nonsense.

Look, it’s humans fighting.” In the other hot air balloons around them, guests can see couples in love, holding each other and having a good time. The various human couples in the balloons are made up of various races and genders, showing inclusive love. While the guests are distracted, they don’t see the mountain behind them. Bal says, “isn’t fighting wonderful?” Holden, “watch out, there is a mountain behind you!” The guests’ hot air balloons unload from the elevator as if they ran into the mountain. The tractors start down the mountain track backwards, then spin around and speed as they go through the mountains.

28

Scene #7: Mountains & Yeti Interior: Mountains The tractors then spin around, and the guests are blasted with cold wind and fog.

The tractors slow down and as the fog clears, they can see mountain scenery.

These mountains look more like the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains. Snow can be seen on the top, low cloud coverage covers the tractors and green trees are at guests eye level. Bal and Holden have lost track of the guests and are no longer there. As the tractors turn a corner a large yeti looms over them, roars, and the tractor turns suddenly to avoid the yeti.

29

Scene #8: Falling Down the Mountain Interior: Mountains The tractors then go downhill, fast and winding, back to the first floor. The tractors are surrounded by snow on both sides and by trees they could hit along the way. Bal and Holden show alongside of them in their spaceship. Holden says, “Good we found you! Don’t worry, we’ll save you.” Bal replies, “Save them? They’re getting the real human experience! Humans put weird stick things on their feet and do this for fun!”

Once on the bottom of the mountain the snow fades away and the guests see campers with a large campfire making Smores. The tractors turn a corner and they almost run into the campfire, blasting them with heat.

Scene #9: Mountain Town Interior: Mountain Town The tractor then slowly goes through a mountain town reminiscent of Gatlinburg, TN. As they travel, the coaster rises in elevation back to the second floor. Bal and Holden follow them and start to put signs and labels on things they are passing, which are all humorously incorrect. For example, they slap a label on a convenience store, calling it a doctor’s office. A human is buying something from a street vendor, and they label it a robbery. In this scene, guests see a variety of humans all being nice to each other and helping each other out. Someone is helping an older person cross the street, someone offers to help someone else carry something heavy, and a vendor gives an ice cream to a crying child. As the tractor moves along the mountain buildings get fewer and grass patches appear on both sides of the tractor. The trees start to look less green and there are stone fences and archways that lead into a graveyard.

30

Scene #10: Graveyard Interior: Graveyard The tractors go through a stone archway and enter a graveyard, reminiscent of Sleepy Hollow or New England. Fog rolls in, crows caw in dead trees and owls hoot. On both sides of the tractors gravestones of various sizes appear as well as huge mausoleums with doors. Holden whispers, “This is where the humans grow their dead. You have to be quiet, or the dead will rise too soon and look like ghosts.” Bal replies, “This place is no fun, let’s go in that party room over there.”

Bal points to a mausoleum with an open door that has candle lights flickering.

The tractors speed up and enter the mausoleum, emerging into a small stone room with candle sconces on the walls. A screen on the back of the wall displays Bal and Holden in the space next to a coffin. Holden says, “I don’t think we should be in here.” Bal replies, “It’s fine.” Then, their spaceship bumps into the coffin and, suddenly, the guests’ tractor drops back down to the first floor.

31

Scene #11: Mine Interior: Mine The tractors exit the drop area and spin around so they are facing forward again, and guests find themselves in a mine shaft. The tractors go through the dark mine, with gold and precious jewels seen in the walls. It looks like the mine was abandoned in the middle of excavating and tools can be seen lying around. The eerie feeling from the graveyard has followed the guests and they are not sure if they should be here either. The tractor comes to a stop at a wall. Bal finds a lever that says Don’t Pull. Bal says, “This must be the way out.” Holden replies, “No, it says don’t pull.” Bal says, “Don’t you know anything about humans? Whenever it says don’t do something, they really mean to do it.” Bal pulls on the lever and a small explosion rocks the room and a side of the mountain breaks away. The guests see a bright flash of light and hear rocks crashing as smoke fills the area.

This is when the wall lifts up in front of them. They now go through the new hole in the wall.

32

Scene #12: Beach Interior: Beach As the tractors blast their way through the crumbling mine, they emerge in the glittering brightness of a beach, complete with swaying palm trees and gently lapping waves. The beach is like several famous beaches put together as Bal and Holden wanted to make sure to include them all. Rocks surround the opening from the mine, reminiscent of California Beaches or Hawaii Beaches. Small lifeguard stands are scattered through the sand, beach resorts in the Florida Style can be seen in the background, small palms are scattered on the sand dunes, and tall grass patches that blow in the wind like North Carolina beaches. A long pier stretches out over the water, a Ferris wheel, and other famous landmarks. Bal exclaims, “Now, this is what I am talking about! A good time!”

Holden says, “Welcome to our beach! This is where humans like to relax and pretend to be lobsters for the day.”

The guests’ tractor goes through the beach scene where Bal and Holden give a humorous and blatantly incorrect talk about the beach. But they also see heartwarming humanitarian moments, such as lifeguards looking out for other humans, humans interacting and talking and having a good time with a variety of different kinds of people, humans picking up litter and recycling their cans they brought.

Scene #13: City Interior: A Downtown City The tractor speeds up again and drifts as it turns a corner into a city scene with tall buildings. Again, the city is a mixture of different famous cities meshed together as Bal and Holden didn’t want to leave any out of the tour. The Freedom Tower can be seen as well as LED screens like Times Square, palm trees like LA, the Sears Tower from Chicago and the Seattle Space Needle.

The tractor leisurely passes through the city and it gets busier as it goes along.

The street fills with cars and people. People are holding doors for people, picking up trash again, helping each other, being kind and loving.

33

Holden says, “This is where the humans grow their buildings. I hear it takes a lot of dirt and water to get them this tall. I haven’t seen them harvest them yet, but I bet it’ll be a great show.” Guests pass a Taco Bell and Holden explains how it’s a church for humans and they visit on a regular basis. People can be seen walking by on their cell phones and Bal explains how they are controlling the weather with those. Suddenly, the sky overhead turns stormy and rainy, which causes a taxicab to bump into the tractor, the cab driver yelling from within. The tractor goes careening on the track and goes through a loop. Holden says, “Oh no, hang on.” Bal adds, “I’ve got them! We’ll send them on the route.”

34

Scene #14: Route 66 Exterior: Various locations During the loop, the tractor goes through a tall building with lots of glass windows, where lights flash and the sound of breaking glass cuts the air. The coaster track then goes outside and travels quickly on a road that resembles a highway. Twists and turns pull the tractors in all directions as the track circles back around to the front of the building. As the tractor travels down the highway it passes various vignettes of different cities that Bal and Holden have precisely placed along their highway for guests to see. As they approach each vignette, guests can hear music that matches that city, including: a New England town (rock music), the Liberty Bell (classical music), the White House (presidential music), people from Nashville singing (country), New Orleans (jazz), then end up on Route 66.

35

On the route, they pass Oklahoma, parts of Texas, Las Vegas, and Arizona. Quick scenes of humans being good can be seen as they zoom by: planting a tree, putting up solar energy, harnessing wind energy etc. When they are in the desert again, near the unload station, their tractor starts to sputter and slow down.

Holden says, “Oh no, it’s out of soup again. Bal, I thought you filled it up.” Bal replies, “I did, the route always takes it out on the tractors.” They get into another spat. Holden says, “Just fill it.” Bal replies, “Ok, ok. Sorry folks, these things always need some soup eventually. I’m not sure why they need soup to begin with, but they won’t go anywhere without it. I’ve tried it and it tastes terrible, but the tractors love it.” The tractors are filled with “soup” from a nearby tank that Bal and Holden have saved for this occasion and then start moving again.

Scene #15: Unload Interior: Farm The tractors pull into the unload station, which looks like a farm again. Bal and Holden thank guests for joining them on their tour and they hope they learned something about humans that helps them fit into this new world.
