Harper Goff (2) concept design drawings for an unrealized Disneyland Discovery Bay Attraction. (Disneyland, 1979) Discovery Bay has been the stuff of legend within the Disneyana fan community for decades now. In the 1970s, Walt Disney Imagineers officially announced a stunning new land to join Disneyland's seven - Discovery Bay. It would've been the flagship land of Disney's theme park empire. Set in a technologically advanced late 1800s San Francisco, attractions based on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The Island at the Top of the World were prominent features. Sadly, Disney began having second thoughts about the project. Mostly because the Disney-produced action-adventure The Island at the Top of the World - bombed at the box office. But ever since, the Imagineers were finding new ways to keep Discovery Bay alive. First by reimagining the Tomorrowland area that had been proposed for Euro Disneyland as Discoveryland and then by making Mysterious Island a centerpiece of Tokyo Disney Sea. In short, Discovery Bay is one of those Disney-created ideas that just wouldn't die. Harper Goff has created drawings depicting the proposed Island at the Top of the World Attraction where guests would journey aboard the Hyperion to find the lost civilization of Astrigard in the Arctic. Accomplished in pen and ink on artist vellum measuring 26 x 23 in. (irregular) and 28 x 35 in. (Irregular). In fine condition.
