True to my homeland? Nope. My homeland's pretty much just like New York or one of the big cities you guys have. But I'm sure the people up in the Northern Territory would be proud :happy:

Oh no, you see, I never left.

It's all good man, we're just joking around now (I hope :cautious:)

I had a dream I went to Disneyland with Walt once. It was around the time Cars Land opened and he was telling me his impressions of it. He also shared his interest in The Muppets with me. It was a very surreal experience but a dream I'll never forget. It was great to spend time with my hero...

Maybe in the US it's well known, but most of those shows aren't known internationally. Dreamworks however is.

Ok, now for the next stage in thread. A recap. Basically, every time I feel a thread is dead... (Read in Bruce Willis voice) "Thread's dead baby" ... I'll write a recap. It's just all the things I think armchair imagineers should take note of from the thread, like a summary. This thread...

Great point!

It definitely is something I'm excited to observe as I grow old. It's crazy to think maybe one day a Disney park might not even contain any original attractions. This brings up a thought. Do you think maybe there's some middle ground between franchises and originality? Almost as if the...

Attendance and reputation (similar to how Disney is currently known as the "go to theme park destination")

I just want to ask you about this section of your post. Do you think in the future Universal could beat out Disney because of this upper hand? Do you think licensed lands are the future of theme parks?

These are both very good points. Maybe when it comes to armchair imagineering it might be wise to set yourself an imaginary budget. Not every attraction can have hundreds of screens, sets and special effects.

Interesting. I guess a lot of people feel that way, stepping into these fantasy worlds we see in the media is something we all dream about. Although, for me it's very different. I find original attractions much more immersive, because I get to discover the story as I'm in the attraction/area...

What makes Universal more immersive?

And that's the sort of stuff we should discuss. It's good to try and understand. So tell me, do you think Universal's smaller budgets gives them a disadvantage in certain areas?

This thread isn't a Disney vs Uni thread. It's intention is to highlight what makes a Universal park experience unique compared to a Disney park experience, therefore giving armchair imagineers more insight into what they should do when it comes to their designs. Or in other worlds, how to get...

Hey folks! Welcome to the first Understanding Imagineering! UI is a series of threads I will be running that each has an interesting topic about theme park design. The intention is to further educate people on what makes a good Imagineer by engaging them in interesting discussions and making...

Hahaha yes I am, I'm not that bad of a person :hilarious:

I wore a birthday pin two days in a row since I enjoyed the first day so much :devilish: My excuse was that it was my birthday in Australia the day before my birthday in the US :joyfull:

I agree. I find Xbox Live downloads ridiculously slow. Must have something to do with the Xbox servers.
