So on Friday, I went to California Adventure. The pictures above are from the "Soarin' Over California" attraction. I felt like a super tourist taking random pictures of the ride before it started. Blue was a dominant color used in this room, I wondered why blue was chosen because I don't feel like it is a color that is associated with airports. Never the less, it made the room feel cooler and mystical. It also created a sense of excitement. I felt like the lighting was VERY much related to architectural lighting because of the many spot lights that showcased the features of the room. The pictures aren't a good reflection of the effects the lighting created however. I felt like the lighting enhanced the depth and the hardness of the steel structures. I definitely felt a night vibe from the room.
Also, picture 2 is where the video is projected. It wasn't like any other projection screen in that it was curved like a lens. This immediately made me think of the old fashioned cycloramas that curved across the stage. Much like how the old fashioned cycs were intended to create a sense of vastness, this screen had a similar effect.

Random cute side note: My grandma actually thought we took off, and started praying because she was scared we would fall to our deaths.
Very nice detail - I think you defined for yourself why the designer used blue - did you g-ma enjoy it in the end?
