The Main St. of
ETERNIA
What is ETERNIA
Logline: The Keeper has invited you to journey through a tear in the fabric of time and discover dreamlike moments from the past and the future with hopes that you will leave with the inspiration to embrace the time you have today!
Class collaborative themepark masterplan project
The Team
Our team is comprised of 9 designers from 3 different majors and specialties. From this group, we split into smaller teams to each complete a different section of the park.
Our "Why"
The Problem
Time is a scary thought. Often we find ourselves dreaming about how much happier we would be if we were born in a different time or we are frozen with the feeling of all the things we have to get done with the amount of time we have.
The Solution
Our park gives guests the opportunity to venture into different moments of time through rose colored glasses to see and experience how everyone embraced their time in their world, learned from it and found joy in it. When you leave Eternia, we hope that you feel inspired to make the most of the time you have in this moment of history we are living in.

Design Strategy
A
Is it useful: (What makes guests stop by?) It serves as an entry point to the park, it houses restaurants, restrooms, guest relations, shopping and at a higher level, sets up the narrative journey for the guest.
B
Is it usable: (What makes the guest stay?) It serves as an entry point to the park, it houses restaurants, restrooms, guest relations, shopping and at a higher level, sets up the narrative journey for the guest.
C
Is it desirable: At the heart if this land, we want the guests to have fun, and that's always desirable.
Q
Is it differentiated: (What makes guests come back?) The entire entrance is a key part of the story and closely involves the guests. The buildings and its features will move and come to life through their direction with a time key.
Our park icon represents the
fabric of time being torn,
symbolizing the entrance
into the journey the guests
will have traveling
through time and dreams.
About the
Town
At night, it will transform
into a fantastical nighttime
show, celebrating the time we
have been giving and giving guests the courage and inspiration to chase their dreams with the
time they are given.
To give guests a chance to digest the change from ordinary to inner clock work, our Main St. is designed to slowly warp from normal into
the fantastical. In the beginning, there
are clock motifs and symbols, but slowly
tears in the foundation of the buildings
reveal the inner clock workings of time,
which then actually become clock
We hope to show the
fantastical side of time, the
one where anything seems
possible and time doesn’t limit
it simply pushes.
Our research shows that rest and shade are important necessities and are
thus, vital to our
park design
as seen here.
The entrance is the first glimpse into the story about to be told. From
the parking lot into the main gates clock and
time motifs will be shown.
Who is The Keeper
Their Story
The Keeper is the guardian of time and dreams, a being which has existed for as long as time has been counting down. After years of exploring, collecting and watching the keeper decided to create something instead and finally give back to those whose dreams and time they collect.
Interaction with the Guests
The Keeper of time and dreams has control of this park using their Time Key. It powers the time tunnels in the park that let guests wonder through the different lands. In preparation for this park, They have sourced materials from beyond the tear of the fabric of time for guests to make their own Time Keys to help power and learn about the park through interactive and rewarding experiences.
