Since i've done the Disneyland Paris "From sketch to Reality" book i don't count all the people who asked me to do the same kind of book about Tokyo Disney Sea. I would love to do it and may be it will happen someday, but for now i've designed this great application which is a tribute to TDS which is largely considered as "the most beautiful theme park in the world".
The application works great on all iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, it includes hundreds of gorgeous high-res pictures of TDS and and is available now on the iTunes Appstore for the very low price of $1.99 or 1.59€, which should be an affordable price for everyone.
The app is called in the Appstore "TDS Wallpapers HD" and the app features include:
1. NEW user interface. Categorized Wallpapers. Ability to sort the wallpapers by land.
2. Optimized wallpapers for each iOS devices. Fast wallpaper download.
3. HD Pictures designed to take full advantage of the new iPhone 4 and iPod Touch retina screen! Looks gorgeous on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch screens!
4. Ability to save each picture to enjoy them offline
5. Save your favorite pictures in the favorite section
6. Caption for each picture and Wikipedia link for each land or attraction for full infos about each site
7. Ability to zoom in each picture. Simple swipe to advance / revisit the pictures
8. Share with your friends on Facebook!
You will find in the app fantastic pictures of each land and here are some examples: First, on the menu page - picture above - you'll have the choice between ten buttons designed as scrolls and depending of your choice you'll access to "all pictures" or pictures of each land. If you choose this last option then the first land will be Mediterranean Harbor with either pictures of the Renaissance Fortress and Galleon...
...or the great Venitian area, and many more...
The app includes day and night pictures and the night pictures are awesome! Here is two night shots of Mysterious Island, one with Mysterious Island volcano in the background...
...and the other one, a close shot of the Nautilus.
Approximately half of the photos were shot by me when i was invited at the press event, one week before the park opened, which means that the park was absolutely brand new, and the other half by a good friend of mine who is a brilliant photographer and a big TDS fan, too. Next examples pics are about the Arabian Coast with great view of the land...
...or closer shot on the Arabian decor. I remind you that these are just examples and that there is many pics for each land.
Considering that it is a wallpaper app we did the best possible picture choice so whatever the picture you'll choose to put on your device front page they will look great. Next land is Lost River Delta and you'll find many outside pictures of the land but also great pics of the unique Indiana Jones ride queue decor.
Some examples of the pictures you'll find in the Port Discovery section with this large view of the land...
...or the TDS elevated tramway arriving at Port Discovery station.
The Cape Cod part of the park is also present in the app with day or night pictures like the one below.
No need to say that American Waterfront and its gorgeous decor have dozens of pictures in the app whether it is the S.S Columbia...
...the amazing architecture of TDS Tower of Terror...
...or the great American Waterfront elevated tramway.
In addition to the day pictures the section also include fantastic pics of the land at night like this one...
...or this one of the S.S Columbia.
Depending of your computer screen the pictures above will look probably good but i can assure you that it's nothing in comparison of how they look on an iPhone or an iPad screen thanks to the screen devices technology. And for each picture you'll find a Wikipedia link for more details on each land or attractions, not to mention the other features listed above.
TDS Wallpapers HD is also a GREAT app for those of you who are planning to visit the park and there is links to the TDS site for your reservations, if needed.
TDS Wallpapers HD is now available on the iTunes Appstore for $1.99 or 1.59€ and you will find it HERE. One last important thing: after you've downloaded the app thanks to leave a comment on iTunes, as we know good comments are always needed and welcome. Thanks by advance, and enjoy the app!

ReplyDeleteSo what about an the same for Sisneyland Paris??
Thanks
Alain you should do a book on TDS, then with EDL you will have done the 2 Best Disney Parks ever designed. Love the great shots but want some Lost River delta also. PD
ReplyDeleteI'll add my support to the 2 posts above. App looks AMAZING on the iPad but a DLP app & a TDS book are both on my wish list
ReplyDeleteWould love to see the pictures, but do not (and never will) own any apple products - is there any other way to get the pictures?
ReplyDeleteSadly, the App works now only on Apple iDevices and not on Android phones as it is a totally different system. I'll let you know if one day it's the case.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteIf you ever do a Tokyo Disney Sea, or any other Disney Parks related book, please reserve one for me, because I'll certainly be among the first buyers!
Hi Alain.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to see a TDS og Tokyo Disneyland Resort book written by you. The Disneyland Paris book is awesome, and one of the best books on Disney theme parks ever made. There need to be written a book on the japanese Disney Parks. There's not many books about them availible. Thanks for considering writing a book:-)
