Greetings Fellow Armchair Imagineers!
This is a phrase I've been using for roughly 750 video podcasts on my So, You Want to be an Imagineer Youtube channel. On the eve of our involvement in the WDWMagic community I'd like to officially start on a dream project that @JokersWild and I have been working on for over two years.
Park Builders Unite is a project that will combine open brainstorming in a forum setting with brainstorming sessions done on Google Hangouts. First off I'll give the board a concept to work with on this thread. After they've developed some ideas the "Park Builders" will come on Hangouts, recap the ideas presented on the boards, and fine tune the concept live on air. It will be a collabrative project between the boards and the podcast like we've never seen before!
To try things out, I'm going to pitch something that's been on the minds of Disneyland fans for years...the empty patch of strawberry fields on Katelina Boulevard about two blocks away from the Disneyland Resort. This property is owned by Disney, and is where many are speculating an eventual third gate will go.
This is where you guys come in. It's not that much land, probably less than the original DCA was situated on. So the question then becomes, do you create a small theme park or a larger "expansion" to the resort. It's entirely up to you. Want to design a Water Park? A Downtown Disney expansion? A DisneyQuest style indoor theme park? A small but greatly detailed third gate? It's ENTIRELY in your hands.
What I want to see come up with in this thread is the answer to what exactly you want the strawberry fields to be used for, and some rough brainstorming on the concepts. The Park Builders will then come in and build on the ideas. After the podcast we can do some more fine tuning on the concept and turn it into a full blown presentation.
And that's it. Happy new year and let the brainstorming begin!
