NOSTOS

Senior Capstone | 2019

The top four ways theme parks are successful: powerful storytelling, employee commitment, engaging theme and nostalgia. What better theme for a park than Greek mythology because it creates an educational platform for great historical stories to be told! As a theme park guest, I love going to observe intricate  architecture and design. For these reasons, I created NOSTOS.

NOSTOS means an epic hero returning home by sea, which comes from Ancient Greek literature. Upon arrival, travelers (guests) pick their guide, one of the twelve Olympians, to help them on their journey. When travelers reach the guide’s attraction area, they receive special perks. NOSTOS was designed for every age to enjoy. Aphrodite's Villa presents beautiful gardens while Hestia’s Mount Olympus is every adrenaline rush junky’s dream. The 3D model mirrors what material travelers would walk on, showing a clear distinction of where they are. While providing realistic settings of Ancient Greece and fun rides, NOSTOS really is the most incredible journey.
