Scrapped Tour Vehicle Design
🕑 Added 2021-09-28 15:36:54 +0000 UTCThis was the first direction I went with for the design of the Tour Vehicles (V.E.E.Vs), basing it heavily upon the existing vehicle architecture I had designed for the ranger vehicles. The thinking was that the elements would most likely have evolved to be similar with tapered wheels, smooth surfaces, and and overall lozenge-shaped profile and three-section body. I even made some solid progress towards realizing it in 3D before I took a step back and decided that a multi-purpose vehicle like the V.E.E.V would need to have more amphibious capabilities, and so I switched to the screw-propulsion design that would become the final iteration.
I still really like the overall direction of this though, so maybe It might return as some kind of larger ranger vehicle or truck? Still a little too futuristic as-is, but maybe with some squaring off and addition of grills/exhaust/hardware it might fill the role.

That totally makes sense -- this could be the park's equivalent of the larger work trucks that city utility departments use, as opposed to the existing ranger vehicle which is their general purpose light truck or work van equivalent.
