Pen and ink, pencil, and red pencil on tracing paper, 1982, key reads, "Master Plan and Concept Study / Coastal Far Western U.S.--Period--Gold Rush through 1888 / for / Discovery Bay / in / Disneyland, California / Scale 1/2" = 10'-0," signed ("Harper Goff '82") in ink to lower right. Discovery Bay was the brainchild of Disney Imagineer Tony Baxter, Harper Goff's protégé Tom Scherman, and Goff. This elaborate unrealized Disneyland attraction would have continued the storyline begun with Baxter's Big Thunder Mountain railroad. Set in a super-technological late 19th century San Francisco, Discovery Bay's story involved Victoriana like Goff's Nautilus submarine and a Jules Verne-esque airship, the Hyperion. Disney eventually backed out because some of their own, and other studios', period science fiction projects hadn't performed well. 35 x 48 in.
