The Buildings of World Chorus!

Overview


These are images of the buildings inside World Chorus. The walls of the attraction were decorated in yellow, purple, pink and orange, and had handrails to guide people and also avoid them getting too close to the buildings and characters inside, likely to keep illusions and ensure there was no damage. The room was framed to hide the lighting through the use of several orange clouds, which also gave the appearance of a spiral, and the entire room gave the idea of enlarging, as the animation became progressively more and more advanced as the buildings increased in scale and size.


GRRRRRR >:///

Darn you protection, but luckily there’s like nothing useful on here haha


The Flag


The attraction’s flag boasted the famous slogan, alongside the sponsorship detail, to show guests this was a continuation of the ride they had just been on, in a walkthrough experience!


The Eiffel Tower


The Eiffel Tower held the only animatronic in the entire room- a small conductor doll with pale skin, black hair, and a black tuxedo with white and red accents, holding a baton and with a rather serious expression. He was surrounded by silhouettes of an orchestra, and served as the central character of the walkthrough, appearing in several posters and animations. He has no canon name, however.


This image gives us an idea of how tall the conductor was when compared to a human- about the size of one person’s head. Compared to regular small world dolls, who come up to about a torso, he is a different sculpt, mould, and type of figurine. For one, his hair isn’t yarn, which begs the question of his origin.


Baton photobomb XD


Other buildings


The Sphinx, one of two locations where Moses’ animation was held.


Another location where Moses’s animation was held. Next to St Basil’s, where Alex resided.



The Torre de Belém, in which Miguel resided.


Interestingly, it is unknown which animations existed inside the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but my guess is the 3 lost and silhouetted children. They also existed inside another building, the small turquoise and yellow one next to the Eiffel Tower.



The other building. Evidently, the shape matches the shape of the animation.

Another image. Zooming in, you can see the triangle shape. Hey there Mr conductor! :D

The building in which Makoto resided.


Some of the smaller buildings, the viewing area, and the Greek temple where people could view the video of the choir. Hahn was in the furthest building back, and potentially Miguel or Lorenzo in the middle one, though I am not sure.


An interesting detail is that at some point, the windmill fixture was removed. This building may have housed Julia, though once again I am unsure. It can be hard to identify just from old videos! ^^;

Without the windmill.


One of the panels is open on the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Perhaps an animation was removed from inside? It looks rather hollow.

Upon closer inspection, the shape of the window is there, but nothing inside from what I can see.

It appears the inside is blocked, or hollow. Also yay conductor content <3

The skyscraper in which Lucky and Daphne resided. Though it is hard to see inside, there were clearly a few furnishings!
