Exercise 4: Storyboards
What is the story of your attraction?
Exercise 4: Storyboards
Activity: Create a simple storyboard for your ride. To start, write up a scene by scene list of your ride using your favorite ideas from the brainstorm.
- First this happens…. (scene 1)
- Then this happens… (scene 2)
- Then this happens… (scene 3)
- Finally this happens… (scene 4)
Once you have a scene ordering you like you can make simple sketches of each scene and lay them out on a board. Keep in mind you will want to change this many times so don’t focus on making beautiful drawings.

They would get on the ride. Then the ride would take a wrong turn into the licorice forest. The boat would then get stuck inside of the swamp. Next, the licorice vines would come down, and attack the boat. Lastly, the candies would fight the vines, and the guests in the boat would leave the ride. The end!(5 votes)

#2 Yzma Gets fired,
#3 the trip into Yzma's lab begins,
#4 after the ride you end up in Yzma's lab where you can buy trinkets and candies.(8 votes)- i would love this. The Emperor's new groove has always been one of my favorite Disney movies. this is my second time doing Imagineering in a box, and my first time I had the same idea. i thought maybe when Kronk pulls the wrong lever, there is a small drop, like the tower of terror. and then you would be lifted back up, Yzma says: "why do we even have that lever?"and then you go through the main roller coaster.(3 votes)
