Experience
Merch
Events
Why
​
-
the building is far away from „Transilvania“ and was since its opening a disruptive factor for the guest- experience
-
ground-floor locations must be used again or at all completly, for the guests as experiences and as seasonal source of income for the park
-
= in between/ filling experiences between „Flug der Dämonen“ and „Scream“
-
„Transilvania“ is an one-sided area (only on one side are experiences, all through the land)
-
and another weatherproof location
80% windows
20% building
entire building
100% windows
park floor
Challenge/ Problem
​
-
big amount of windows and big windows:
-
most of the facade are windows
-
a real small part to themed
-
-
special formed windows, not a plane facade
-
the employees look through that big windows
Design
​
•Regarding to the new Storyline: An medieval wooden Fassade with different Styles
•Vampire- & Demon- fighting village
•Regarding Design to Flug der Dämonen, Scream & Weinturm
•reflects the Storyline
•Immersive Design
•Customizable from the guests (s. Merch Concept)
How
​
•A/ The new Storyline gives the Vorgabe:
•The Village in Transilvania, the opposite pole to the Vampire- Area
•Craftmake- Street (Crucifix- Bauer, Wooden Stake Schnitzer, Knoblauch Binder, etc.)
•Pot. New Attraction
•Recycling Concept (usage of a lot of the Decorations in the HeidePark Stock- saving Money)
•Kloster Dorf/ Kloster Schänke
“Is there a simple and cheap way…”
"Yes....but..."
​
…. it will look, feel and be bought to the guests simple and cheap
•
-
because of the form of the park- level windows we cannot easyly put a facade in front of it
-
it must be checked, if the connections to the windows are possible
-
foils are a cheap solution, but it will be the same, like the last years AND
-
the mix of foils and real (looking) decoration must be proofed AND
-
the views out of the windows are not clear with entirely foils
-
the aluminium structure must be believable told in the storyline, that an old Transilvania village/ monastery has such windows (form, amount and that big size)
-
covering them partly must be done from both sides, means also from inside
3+ Options
​
-
keeping the structure of the building
-
theming with mostly foils and decorations
-
putting facades in front of the windows
-
​
-
changing the structure
-
putting out the windows and replace them by themed walls and facades
-
-
add a building part up to the sidewalk, in front of the existing building and facade
​
+ going out of the existing and well knowing structure of the building
​
keeping the structure
–keep the windows
- a lot of foils (like now)
–Maintaining the windows, especially their size in the parking area
–therefore we need to explain why the windows in a medieval Transylvanian village/monastery are so larger than average for that period
–the building remains in its familiar basic structure
–effect: the existing building was simply covered with foil and a little decoration
–option: Roots wind around the windows (but would also have to be done from the inside)
–roof / tower elements
Opportunity
​
-
wooden facade on the small parts of the Building, Deco Elements like Lights, Banners, etc.
-
removing the windows on the park level, bigger parts of new wooden facade, same Elements
-
overceeling the area in front of the building, growing the place
-
planting big trees in front, like in the past for the BRAUHAUS
-
a little Steam Punk design
-
big corner towers with adventure and movable elements, which are eye catcher
Problems
​
-
quantitatively strong mix of slides and real decoration
-
effect of the loils in relation to the real elements
-
impaired view from inside to outside
-
if we cover from the outside, it must also be blinded from the inside
-
if w choose facades with smaller windows - how does it look when the old windows really continue behind the facade
-
how stable are the connections from the new facade to the window surfaces
changing the structure
​
•people know the bulding for centurys
•we play wit the structure, corners of the buildung and the middle part
•transform & split/ devide the buidling from one big cohesive into different sectors/ parts
•let it grow
•so we change and go out of the structure, form and size
•it doesnt feel at the first look, that we just covered the old building
•also then we have space for lightning and effects
Look like it´s a new building
​
