暮光之光区 The twilight zone.
什么是模糊地带 What is the Twilight zone?
当我第一次写的时候 When I first wrote?
恐怖分子的塔被吓得我魂都不敢想 The tower of terrorists is scared out of my mind,
孩子 child.
我想我甚至没有一点线索 通过与一千九百六十个scifi系列剧的联系 这是一件疯狂的事情 I don't think I had even the slightest clue that this crazy through right of the connection to one thousand nine hundred and sixty scifi anthology series.
即使是现在 Even now,
我怀疑是否有人经历过奥兰多或巴黎 I doubt that someone experiencing Orlando or Paris,
恐怖之塔 this tower of terror,
这并不是对这部剧的预先了解 即使是对暮光之光区应该是什么样子的基本理解也会消失 that is no prior knowledge of the show would walk away with even a basic understanding of exactly what the Twilight zone is supposed to be.
这个前戏的叙述声称我们是作家 That pre show narration claims that we as writers,
正在进入一集 are stepping into an episode.
但是 与其他节目相比 好莱坞塔酒店的故事真的很适合 But does the story of the Hollywood Tower hotel really fit in when compared to the rest of the show in key ways,
我认为我们所熟悉的这个著名景点的版本实际上并没有捕捉到模糊地带的精神 I think the version of this famous attraction we are also familiar with actually fails to capture the spirit of the Twilight zone.
它通过一个不同的文化视角重新诠释了这一过程 从而真正实现了与罗德斯特林的愿景相一致的一种凝聚力设计的体验 and it took reinterpreting the ride through a different cultural lens to actually deliver a cohesively designed experience in line with rod sterling's vision.
我的名字是格雷格 野蛮 My name is Greg barbaric,
这是队列系列讲座 and this is the queue line lectures,
一个关于停车设计的系列 a series about being parked design.
暮光之光区本身就是一个相当困难的地方 The Twilight zone is inherently a pretty difficult proper.
你适应的是它的多选性 You adapt to arrive because of its anthology nature,
只有人物 with only characters,
情节之间的设置或情节 settings or plots carried between episodes.
没有多少标志性的布景只是乞求被想象成像印第安纳琼斯之后的巨石一样的旅程 there aren't many iconic set pieces just begging to be re imagined as a ride like the Boulder rolling after Indiana Jones.
那么 什么将暮光之光的一集与下一集联系在一起呢 So what does tie one episode of the Twilight Zone to the next?
在水面上 While on the surface level,
每一集都有像介绍学分一样的图标 there's all the iconography that wraps each episode like the intro credits,
主题 theme,
歌曲 song,
以及广义的斯特林的叙述 and broad Sterling's narration.
这些都是忠实地传递过来的 This is all faithfully transferred over.
我认为这些作品确实有助于树立正确的基调 但跨越了恐惧之间的界限 I think these pieces really helps set the right tone but straddles the line between horror,
悬疑和科幻小说 suspense and science fiction.
更深 Deeper.
然而 However,
我不由自主地觉得这是一种完全的体验 I can't help but feel like the ride completely.
在主题联系中 将最初的系列与一些例外结合在一起 amidst the thematic ties that bind the original series together with some exceptions,
这部剧的大部分情节都是道德故事 most episodes of the show act as morality tales,
探索生命的概念 exploring some concept of life,
死亡或哲学 death or philosophy,
并给人们一个教训 告诉他们应该如何表现 and imparting a lesson on how one should best behave.
这些道德准则并没有被推到一边 也没有被扔进去 这是对对话的限制 These morals weren't shoved aside or tossed in at the end is capping dialogue.
通常 这一集的整个科幻概念是围绕着以某种明显的物理方式来展现这个主题的 Often the whole science fiction concept of the episode is designed around manifesting this theme in some overtly physical way.
人物和世界只存在于他们进一步讨论这一集的中心问题 The characters and worlds only exist as far as they further the discussion on the central question of the episode,
在主题和人物之间画一条直线 drawing a direct line between theme and character.
我建议你去看看最近在暮光之光区拍摄的大儒勒的视频 I'd recommend checking out Big Jules recent video on the Twilight Zone,
这里用的是面具的例子一个垂死的人用魔法把他自己的贪婪的家庭给毁了 where uses the example of the episode the mask and which a dying man disfigures his own greedy family with magical mass,
在他的脸上是一种变化 and at his face is a change,
他平静地死去 作为一个类比来说明这个节目本身就是一个复仇天使创造了特定的陷阱 在当前的情况下 这是一种诗意的正义 它定义了许多暮光之城的情节和最初的恐怖之塔 and he dies peacefully as an analogy for how the show itself acts as an avenging angel creating genre specific traps with which a dole out poetic justice that under current is something that defines many episodes of the Twilight zone and in looking at the original tower of terror,
不知道这在旅途中是如何进行的 are not sure how that carries over in the ride.

当塔被闪电击中时 好莱坞酒店才会被驱逐到另一个维度 Hollywood hotel only to be banished to another dimension when the tower struck by lightning.
我们不太了解这些人 我们也没有表现出任何让我们认为这种可怕的命运是对他们所做的一切的惩罚 We don't know much about these people and we aren't shown anything to make us think this horrific fate is a punishment for anything they've done,
即使是骑行的终点线 even the rides final line.
下次当你在好莱坞黑暗的一面去看一个空无一人的旅馆时 The next time you check in to a deserted hotel on the dark side of Hollywood,

暮光之光区 The twilight zone.
在敦促客人进行彻底的轭架研究之外 没有提供任何一种至高无上的道德 fails to offer any kind of overarching moral outside of urging guests to do thorough yoke research.
我不讨厌恐怖塔 I don't dislike tower of terror.
远非如此 far from it,
我总是不去想它 I just always walk away from it.
认为这段旅程喜欢叙述之间的某种凝聚力 Thinking the ride likes a certain cohesion between the narrative,
它试图创造一个以知识产权为基础的世界 it tries to create the world that builds on the IP.
并不是每一次被称为恐怖之塔的旅程都让我有这种感觉 It's attached to not every ride called Tower of Terror left me feeling this way.
然而 However,
当为迪斯尼和东京的图片公司建造一个新的版本时 东方土地公司决定他们需要远离模糊地带的许可 when building a new version of the ride for Disney C and Tokyo Imagineers in the Oriental Land Company decided they need to move away from the Twilight zone license,
这对日本的公园游客来说并不意味着什么 并为公园里的纽约滨水区创造了一种全新的体验 which didn't mean much to Japanese park goers and create a brand new experience for the New York waterfront section of the park.
虽然结果是对的 While the result is right,
那沟渠的杆子塞得 that ditches Rod Serling.
它最终会变得更有凝聚力 it ends up feeling more cohesive and,
讽刺的是 ironically,
更真实的是 模糊地带的精神 more true to the spirit of the twilight zone keyed.
东京的骑行设计是它建立起哈里森高塔的新角色的整个故事的方式 The Tokyo's ride design is the way it builds its whole story about developing the new character of Harrison High Tower.
我们很少能看到骑行 We rarely actually see rides,
试图创造出与任何电影或财产分离的新角色 attempt to create new characters divorced from any movie or property.
但迪斯尼认为 恐怖之塔展示了将整个体验联系在一起的工具有多么强大 But Disney sees tower of terror shows just how powerful a tool it can be to tie the whole experience together.
我认为 最好的证据就是 我离开了这个旅程 感觉我不仅理解了发生了什么 而且哈里森高塔是什么样的人 却没有理解一个日语单词 I think the best evidence for just how well this works is that I left the ride feeling I not only understood exactly what was going on and what kind of person Harrison High Tower is without understanding a single word of Japanese.
所有必要的信息都是通过经济和非语言交流的 All the necessary info is communicated economically and nonverbally,
使用一种通常与哥特文学传统相关的技术 它赋予建筑以主题的重要性 using a technique often associated with the traditions of gothic literature that is giving thematic importance to architecture.
你会在经典的哥特式作品中看到这个想法 You'll see this idea all over classic Gothic works.
但这是我第一次读到安 拉德克利夫的作品 But it's something I first encountered reading Ann Radcliffe,
1784年的小说 关于多夫的秘密 seventeen hundred and eighty four novel The Mysteries of Rudolfo,
这主要是关于潜在的超自然的鬼魂 下面是年轻的艾米丽 which mostly deals with the Potentially Supernatural Hauntings the following young Emily,
圣阿尔伯特 St Albert.
在她被曼奇尼的名义上的u海豚城堡俘虏后 After she's held captive in the titular udolpho castle by Mancini,

这是哥特传统的典型特征 As became typical for the Gothic tradition,
城堡本身代表了居住在其中的人物的心理状态 the castle itself comes to represent the mental states of the characters that inhabit it,
所有的密室 with all the hidden rooms,
秘密通道和洞穴的隐密处 secret passageways and cavernous crypts,
象征着每个角色的黑暗秘密 symbolizing the dark secrets of each character.
很明显 It's a clear,
人物与建筑之间的直线 straight line between character and architecture,
这很巧妙地解释了东京的恐怖之塔是如何解释哈里森高塔的 And that's cleverly how Tokyo's Tower of terror explains Harrison High Tower.
在我们进入大楼之前 只要看一下塔的外面就能告诉我们一些信息 Just looking at the outside of the tower tells us a decent bit of information before we even step inside.
不像西班牙语或普韦布洛风格 Unlike the Spanish or Pueblo style,
其他吸引人的地方 the other attractions,
这是一种摩尔式的复兴风格 this one uses a Moorish revival style.
在这个时期 砖块的使用帮助它融入了公园的纽约滨水区 The use of bricks helps it blend in the New York waterfront area of the park in this period,
与当代的坦帕湾酒店相比 在世纪之交的时候是准确的 accurate to the turn of the century setting compared to a contemporary like the Tampa Bay Hotel,
摩尔人的复兴风格 the Moorish revival styles,
值得注意的是 the notable choice,
尽管随着全球主义和东方主义的魅力不断上升 它的受欢迎程度也在上升 though as its popularity grew in a time where fascination with globalism and orientalism were on the rise.
因此 它从土耳其传统的土耳其奥斯曼帝国和伊斯兰建筑中获得了许多元素 So it accordingly appropriates many elements from traditional Turkish Ottoman and Islamic architecture like minarets,
马蹄形拱门和圆顶 horseshoe arches and domes.
这给人的印象是高塔 This gives off the impression that high towers,
也许是一个世俗的人 perhaps a worldly person,
但同时他也不害怕让我们慷慨地说 but also that he isn't afraid to let's generously say,
从其他文化的作品中汲取灵感 Take inspiration in the works of other cultures.
我也很喜欢它的外观比其他的塔更少 I also really liked the way the exterior is less decrepit than the other towers,
这是一种更好的交流高塔的工作 which is a better job communicating high towers,
财富和财富 wealth and opulence.
表面上只有绿色能源的爆裂声 With only crackles of green energy on the exterior,
散发出一种超自然的腐败的暗示 Giving away hints of a supernatural corruption,
走进去 stepping inside,
我们会看到大厅里有更多关于高塔的信息 we'll see that the lobby informs us more on high towers,
从世界各地的工艺品和风格装饰的世界探险 worldly expeditions as its decorated with artifacts and styles from all around the world.
有趣的是 许多史前古器物和最初的发现似乎都是埃及人 It's interesting that many of the artifacts and notice first are seemingly Egyptian in origin.
这让我们想起了英国探险家从那个地区窃取文物的肮脏历史 That brings to mind the sordid history of British explorers stealing artifacts from that region.
在房间里往上看 Looking higher up in the room,
我们看到壁画展示了高塔是如何获得所有这些战利品的 we see murals showing how high tower acquired all of this prize possessions.
我认为这种平衡并不会巧妙地向我们展示他的功绩 I think these strike a balance be not so subtly showing us the cost of his exploits,
就像他忽略的方式一样 like the way he ignores is overworked.
助理 assistant,
当然 of course,
愤怒的当地人想要收回他们偷来的东西 他们也会用英雄的方式来塑造高塔 这是可信的 the angry native people trying to reclaim their stolen goods will also framing hightower just heroically enough that it's believable,
他会把它们陈列在自己的旅馆里 he would display them in his own hotel.
这是一个很好的接触 It's a nice touch,
还有 too.
在这些壁画中展示的许多工件也可以在队列中找到 That many of the artifacts shown in the murals can also be found around the queue.
大厅最好的部分 The best part of the lobby,
然而 however,
这是一个巨大的彩色玻璃窗 上面有高塔的画像 上面写着 世界是我的牡蛎 is the giant stained glass window with a portrait of high tower and a quote that reads The world is my oyster,
我是剑 这句话出自莎士比亚的温莎之妻 Which I was sword shall open this quote from Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor.
自吹自擂和怯懦的古手枪是这句话的起源 Spoken by the boastful and cowardly ancient pistol is actually the origin of that expression.
世界是我的生蚝 The world is my oyster.
这很讽刺 It's ironic,
然后 then,
我们今天主要使用它是一个天真乐观的说法 that we mostly use it today is a naively optimistic phrase.
在最初的背景下 when taken in the original context,
实际上 这是一种更邪恶的东西 it's actually meant to be a bit more villainous,
尤其是我带着剑的额外背景 especially with the extra context which I with sword shall open.
很明显 我们可能不应该快乐 It's clear that we probably shouldn't be happy.
这两个人觉得整个世界对他们的索取是正确的 These two men feel the whole world is right for their taking.
在pre上展示这些是为了建立锡箔 moving onto the pre shows these were to establish the foil,
哈里森高塔 the Harrison High Tower,
无聊的SorikiYoutube the idle Soriki Youtube.
第一个是一个完全用日语的演员给你的利息账单 但是简单地重新介绍了高塔 并告诉你他遭遇的不幸 The first is an interest bill given by a cast member entirely in Japanese but simply reintroduces high tower and informs you the misfortune that befell him.
带着神秘的闲散回家后 After returning home with the mystical idle,
他发现了非洲未开发的地区 he found an unexplored region of Africa.
在研究中 In the study,
我们是一个在新闻发布会上录制的老式留声机 或者是高塔上的吹嘘 说他从当地人那里偷走了斯里克的效用是多么的困难 we are an old gramophone recording in the press conference or high tower brags about how difficult it was for him to steal shriek utility from the natives.
然后 彩色玻璃窗神奇地改变了一声尖叫 Then the stained glass window magically changes a shriek.
你要做的是控制 You to do takes control,
我们听到一个更令人遗憾的高塔警告我们 我们不应该再往前走了 因为偶像真的被诅咒了 we hear a much more regretful high tower warn us that we shouldn't go any further because the idol really is cursed.
接下来是我们中的一个 This is followed by one of us,
我认为这是迪士尼最伟大的一个特效 I think is Disney's greatest effects,
当之前的雕像发出令人毛骨悚然的微笑，接着消失在稀薄的空气中，就像其他恐怖塔的预演秀一样 as the previously statuesque good tune do makes a creepy smile before disappearing seemingly into thin air like the pre shows of the other towers,
我认为这一个效果特别好是因为他是近距离的 I think this one is so affected because of the close,
在狭小的空间里发生的变化，给人一种亲近感，这是在大的空间中不能实现的效果 cramped quarters that takes place in it gives the scenes a sense of intimacy that wouldn't be possible in a much larger room,
模拟着又老又黑暗的老橡树是怎么让人觉得更加恐怖 similar to how old dark writes feel so much scarier,
因为你也可以伸出手去触摸这些道具，这就让你对它的凭空消失惊吓不已 because you can also reach out and touch the props it makes the disappearance of shriek you tune,
在几步之外看效果更神奇 do even more magical to see it from just a few feet away,
在那里你可以花点时间环顾四周 where you can spend a few moments looking around,
试着弄清楚他们是怎么做到的 trying to figure out just how they pulled that off,
而不会认为这是一种乘骑中一晃而过的光学技巧，除了剧透的空间 rather than it being just another optical trick for the ride vehicle to zoom by instead of a boiler room.
现在 加载平台已经成为了这个房间最适合的所有工件的存储空间 这是对高塔过度的提醒 The loading platform has now become the storage room for all the artifacts that this room works best as a reminder of high towers excess.
他拿走了很多东西 以至于他需要一个完全独立的房间来存放它们 而没有一个地方来展示它们 He's taken so many things that he needs an entirely separate room just to store them without a place to display them.
它们毫无用处 They serve no purpose at all.
他只是因为从他的观点来看 偷了他们 He stolen them simply because from his point of view,
一旦我们登上电梯 他们就可以被带走 they could be taken once we board our elevators.
对于任何编写过版本的人来说 正确的体验是非常熟悉的 The right experience is very familiar to anyone who has written a version.
这一旅程似乎是哈里森现在的诅咒 This ride seems Harrison is now curse to live out.
他一遍又一遍地死亡 是重新审视两起新的崩溃 His death over and over again is to review two new crashing.
他的电梯 His elevator,
就像小的触摸一样 哈里森和我们一起经历了被诅咒的电梯 因为它强化了这是他的惩罚 我们只是旁观者 like the very small touch added that Harrison is really experiencing the Cursed Elevator with us because it reinforces the idea that this is his punishment and we are merely observers to it.
我们站在一面大镜子前 两个人用他那发光的绿色眼睛诅咒着我们 We rise up to a large mirror where two new now fully curses us with his glowing green eyes,
一连串的水滴开始了 and the long sequence of drops begin.
毕竟 After all,
混乱消失了 the chaos dies down.
我们看到你失去了眼睛 We see you to lose eyes.
最后一次 高塔警告我们不要被这种危险所吸引 永远不要回来 One last time as high tower warns us not to become too attracted to this type of danger and never to return.
我想我不需要在这一点上详细说明这次骑行的主题 因为 I don't think I need to spell out the theme of the ride at this point because,
如你所见 as you've seen,
基本上 basically,
这里的每一个设计选择都是为了讲述殖民主义和文化盗窃的危险就像我在暮光之光区提到的那样 every design choice here works towards telling that story that the dangers of colonialism and cultural theft much like I mentioned with the Twilight Zone,
哈里森高塔 请你去掠夺 Harrison High Tower and treat you to loot,
和他们一样 也没有那么多的怀疑 aren't as much less doubt characters as they are.
他们所代表的主题点的化身是你典型的暮光之城 它是一个对错误固执己见的人 只有死亡才能看到他的错误 embodiments of the thematic points they represent high tower is your typical twilight zone wrongdoer stubborn to a fault and only a death able to see the error of his ways.
尖声叫你 Shriek you.
金枪鱼可能看起来像个恶棍 Tuna may look like a villain,
但他与戴着面具的老人有更多的共同之处 他扮演的是道德和主题正义的堕落之手 but he has a lot more in common with the old man from the mask acting as a perverse hand of moral and thematic justice.
有了这个 With this,
我们可以看到 东京的恐怖之塔是如何用一个直接的层次结构和一个主题来设计的 而这些角色反过来又决定了物理空间本身的架构 we see how Tokyo's tower of terror is designed with a direct hierarchy with a theme and forms the characters which in turn dictates the architecture of the physical spaces themselves.
我认为这三层连接系统创造出了将这座塔提升到其他地方的凝聚力吗 Is this three tier system of connections that I think creates the cohesive feeling that elevates this tower above the rest?
这种方法是如此成功 以至于到了把加州大厦改造成漫威体验的时候 This approach was so successful that when it came time to remake California's tower into a Marvel experience,
迪斯尼的影响力是不容忽视的 the influence of Disney C is impossible to ignore.
如果不潜水太深 所有的相似之处 你就会进入一个自我中心的神器收集器的家 而仅仅是被收集器和他的一个愤怒的成员之间的冲突所困 这听起来很熟悉 Without diving too deep and all the similarities you enter the home of a self center artifact collector only to get caught up in the conflict between the collector and an angry member of his collection sounds pretty familiar.
哈任务 Ha Mission.
突破表明 在人物和设计之间 哥特式的联系是多么的强大 Breakout shows how powerful just that Gothic link between character and design can be,
尽管它似乎缺乏迪士尼在那里夺取权力的主题权重 even though it seemingly lacks the thematic weight of Disney seized power there.
更多地思考这个主题 Thinking more on that theme,
在迪士尼选择殖民主义作为其在东京的吸引力的目标的原因上 这是值得深入研究的 it's worth diving deeper under why Disney chose colonialism as their target for the attraction in Tokyo.
他们不仅是一家经常在海外扩张的美国公司 Not only are they an American company that is always expanding abroad,
但从历史上看 他们在从其他文化中选择的方式上面临着巨大的冲击 but they historically have faced much blowback for the way they chose to take from other cultures.
在最近的故事里 Be at recent stories,
就像斯瓦希里哈甘纳元数据的贸易标记 like the trade marking of the Swahili haguna metadata,
狮子王与日本金碧石的相似之处 the similarities the Lion King to the Japanese Kimberlite,
里昂 Lyon,
甚至是Mowana or even the way Mowana,
Lilo Stitch和波卡洪塔斯选择背叛当地人 Lilo and Stitch and Pocahontas choose to betray native people.
迪斯尼经常发现自己 和哈里森高塔一样战斗 Disney often finds itself and battled much like Harrison High Tower himself,
即使是水獭 even Otter.
有趣的是 ImagineerJoeRoadie实际上是在使用 It's interesting that Imagineer Joe Roadie was actually uses.
高塔的面部模型永远不会有争议的罗迪乌斯因为去世界各地的异国旅行而出名 The facial model for high tower will never controversial rhodius famous for traveling to exotic locations around the world,
收集艺术和灵感 比如在飞行途中的探险珠穆朗玛峰 collecting art and inspiration for attractions like expedition Everest in flight of passage.
这是整个恐怖的塔 也是自我批判的行为 So is this entire tower of terror and an act of self critique.
我会让你自己得出结论 I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
但至少 But at the very least,
它显示了在尊重外国文化和偷窃文化之间的界限是多么的模糊 it shows how fuzzy the line can be between respecting a foreign culture and stealing from it.
那么什么是模糊地带呢 So what is the twilight zone?
我得说 I'd argue.
这部剧的持久吸引力并非来自于它那疯狂的蓝宝石理念 the show's lasting appeals come not from its crazy sapphire ideas,
但是从这个健康的框架中 but from using that frame that's healthy,
非常吸引人的寓言 radically compelling fables.
正是这种精神 我认为迪斯尼看到了恐怖之塔 It's that spirit I think Disney sees tower of terror carries forward,
它 it,
将一个主题扩展到一个字符 然后使用该字符来通知物理设计的每个方面 expands a theme into a character and then uses that character to inform every aspect of the physical design.
它是一个相等的部分 It's a package that's equal parts,
刺激恐惧和故事 thrills scares and story,
很好 一旦你进入了酒店的高塔 and it's so good that once you check into the hotel high tower,
嗯 well,
你可能永远也不会退房 you might never check out.
