"This thesis explores furthering an existing narrative by creating a three-dimensional immersive dark ride experience merged with the Doctor Who IP. The story and designs presented will be components of a show set conceptual design package. The guest experience will be explained in a scene-by-scene narrative, describing when guests are recruited as companions to go on an adventure to rescue the Doctor through space and time. Guests adventure through various interactive environments, which they modify by their actions and choices, making this experience unique every time. The design decisions are based on entirely immersing the guests into the story through the use of sets, media, and animation. The deliverables for this thesis will include story treatment, guest experience, ride track and vehicle design, Show Set Concept package of said attraction, demonstrating the design development on the hopes of such a fan-based IP."
