Primeval Whirl was already closed when I finally visited Animal Kingdom last year 😭, and I have only vague memories of Exterminator’s layout (hard to suss out when you’re spinning in the dark). Apparently Fun Spot Kissimmee’s Galaxy Spin in the same layout too; I found it well above average for...

Sad to hear that both Steel Curtain and Thunderbolt are closed. I was especially curious to hear your thoughts on the former, which hadn’t opened yet when I visited. Phantom’s Revenge is unlike any other coaster, being an old Arrow Looper (famed in its day for roughness) which was reworked by...

AND THE RESULTS ARE IN... Since Scene 4 was a joint production between both studios, there will be no formal winner as in past weeks, and no elaborate awards ceremony. We did still wish to formally celebrate one player for outstanding filmmaking this week... Honorary Award - Best Director...

HOLLYSTONE RECORDS MUSIC WONDERLAND With team-vs-team competition taking a pause this week, our combined Hollystone Pictures group had a unique chance to explore new interpersonal dynamics, to think bigger without fear of a rival team, to strengthen as individual Armchair Imagineers. I am very...

EL RIO DE XIBALBA Xcaret Park, an aquatic ecopark nestled in Mexico’s lush Yucatán coastal jungles, invites explorers to spelunk through the reserve’s naturally-forming cenote sinkhole caverns on a self-guided kayaking adventure deep down underground rivers into a mythical Mayan underworld...

AND THE RESULTS ARE IN.... Scene 3 is in the books as we are now halfway through our time here in glamorous Las Vegas. A great week from both Studios and their pitches for a new show and venue on the Vegas Strip. The glitz and glamour continues with a red carpet awards ceremony at the MGM...

FEEDBACK The reason for my lack of feedback lately might've been miscommunication. From your earlier response, it wasn't clear if you wished for more commentary or not. In your responses, I appreciate your stated intent to add a personal spin to most of Magic World's lands, even while you're...

CrossMagic At Disney’s WonderDome Intro: good. Presentation: good. Venue description – Brief single page, largely overshadowed by the live show within. This could’ve been a fun section for players without an interest in live theater, sad to see it touched upon so briefly. Comparisons to...

Later that evening…..

HULK DO RESEARCH TOO!

You have crossed the rubicon, and found yourself up to the task! Congrats! Have a fantastic time at Dollywood. Your rankings reveal that your body prefers negative-G airtime. RMCs and vintage woodies, the rides I also prefer! After Twisted Cyclone, you’re in good shape to enjoy Lightning Rod...

Tiki is right on regarding F.L.Y. The flying vehicles are able to rotate perpendicular to the track, a bit like Disney's new Omnicoaster (also from Vekoma). The track goes sideways through the load station with ride seats facing outwards in a simple upright position, allowing for quick...

Believe it or not, I’ve actually been to Ocean Park! That’ll of course inform my review this week. Our teams had a truly promising site to work with, graced with some of the greatest panoramic views in possibly any theme park. I remember riding the now-defunct Mine Train ride and getting some...

BEEP BEEP BEEP! The correct answer would be "Who is Barnabas T. Bullion?" Due to inactivity, I shall be suspending Disney Jeopardy for the time being. Have a great day, everybody.
