The Queue Entrance

With some luck, I'll get better at naming these posts, but for now, I'm going with what I've got. As you can tell from this plan:

There's work to be done on the south-east-east side. I have two plans that I'm using for reference

This plan was stitched together from plans I found on Haunted Portraits, and Long-Forgotten Haunted Mansion.

from Long-Forgotten Haunted Mansion

The problem with these is, none are as-built. I've guessed that the location of the entrance gate is accurate between all of them, though. As I can't find a clear indication as to the exact dimension to the location of the gate, I'm using the grid, shown in the second picture.

I'm pretty sure the distance between grid lines is 5'.

Also, we know where the entrance is, relative to this grid.

At this point, I'm also looking at a photo, to see what the actual geometry looks like.

Knowing all this, I feel like I can make a pretty reasonable guess if I eyeball it. Obviously, this is never the ideal way of doing things, but I have to work with what I've got.

Et Voilà

Next, I'll finish the planter. In these photos of the entrance to the fastpass area, we can see that the planter extends all the way there.

on a side note, I've got to hand it to Dave, if there's an angle of Disneyland you want to see from the comfort of your own home, odds are, he's got a photo of it. 

But wait, if we look at the plans I showed earlier, we can see there's a discrepancy between them.

Also, if anybody knows what this structure I've outlined in blue is, I'd love to know.

One plan shows a straight wall, the other shows curved.

This, of course, is down to a design change. The curved wall is what exists today. 

Add together what we know about the planter, and the shape of the wall, and we can put down some lines.

And with that, we have the entrance drawn, and you can see my process.

Future posts may not be so step-by-step, as drawing this entrance while writing this has proven quite time-intensive. But rest assured, I will keep you all updated.
