Wake the Tiger is a new, one of a kind experience in Bristol, the worlds first Amazement Park created by the team behind Boomtown Festival.
We were contacted by the team in early 2020 to discuss the initial concept of the park and start looking into ideas for design and interactive content.
A number of concept and layout designs were created to discover how best to use the space, an old paint factory with many out buildings and industrial units.
The concept was to create an immersive space of artwork, interactivity and story telling which would appeal to all ages, with an over arching idea of connectivity with each other and the planet.
We concentrated on the designs for the main hub, a themed street in the heart of Meridia where the 4 guilds of the story (Earth, Air, Water & Fire) would bring their collections of objects and artefacts to be distributed through the Sorting Office into the following magical realm.
With the initial concept ideas and sketches in place, Wayne took these to develop some incredible illustrations of the street buildings from which the awesome WTT in house build team used to create the amazing buildings & structures. Once these were built we arrived to add additional themed elements and final scenic/set dressing.
We also created the initial ‘Earth’ portal, featuring an overgrown tree which acts as the transition from our real world into Meridia.
At the end of the gallery you will see some early concepts which although were not used for the final build, helped us to develop the concept into the final design.
