Guest Reviews by stitchcastle First of all I'd like to say that these are two sets of very impressive presentations. I'm floored at the creativity and teamwork on display. That being said, this is a competition and I'd like to compare each team based on the over-all success of the concepts...

I'm personally not a big fan of the overly CGI aesthetics of the remakes but I don't think it's fair to judge the movies that haven't come out yet. That being said, CInderella, The Jungle Book and Pete's Dragon have been great. especially Pete's Dragon, which felt more like a cute prestige indie...

It would be an interesting challenge re-themeing something as iconic and beloved as Splash Mountain. I think the ride itself feels detached enough from the movie that the controversy doesn't really directly affect it. It's essentially a ride based on a folk tale, just like a lot of the...

oh cool! I think I can be a guest judge. How does it work?

oh, you mean it's not a set cast?

I'm not sure I can devote the time to compete but I'd love to be a part of it somehow.

so it's the exact same ride from MotionGate Dubai?

this is pretty interesting, the only thing I'd like to add is maybe setting Main Street in a specific time and place culturally as it's meant to be a sort of thematic anchor point to the park. Like perhaps setting it as a Brazillian street from the early 1940's? (Which was when Walt Disney and...

anyone wondering what Geyser Mountain would look like in the park, Andreas Seltenheim made a 3d mock up of it here: as for WDSP, I'd love to see it have a much grander Main Street-style entry way. I mean the immediate instinct is to port over Hollywood Blvd from DHS complete with the Chinese...

This is long overdue! Though I'd love to see Arendelle as part of Phase Three, as well as Geyser Mountain in Frontierland. Also, I need to find where it says it but the original Island of the Top of the World ride concept for Discovery Bay involved an inverted monorail type ride system. You...

I liked Iron Man 3, besides. Marvel has already created such a strong foundation that any "stumbles" are easily forgiven and still make a lot of money. I personally wish DC would just take what worked (Wonder Woman) and scrap their whole cinematic universe altogether and start off not from...

That's a show issue, the main draw are the fireworks and the music, which can be viewed and heard all throughout the park. The projections are meant to enhance the experience but they're not necessary. It just means you get different experiences based on your different vantage points. If...

That's what proper expansion with new attractions is for. The Main Street Theater would have provided the perfect venue for that as well. (and no you can't have a people-eating outdoor stadium for shows in the hot Florida heat.) Also what makes the projections so state of the art is how...

Wouldn't it make more sense to just have the actual fireworks be the main attraction rather than the projections? The projections are supposed to be the fun little details that accentuate the fireworks show, not the main draw itself. It's still very strange to construct an entire stadium to...

don't mean to be negative but, doesn't this take away from the magic of being on Main Street/ The hub, just generally inside the park for the fireworks? I mean what makes the projections magical is that they are projected on the castle itself so having to line up and sit in a stadium to watch a...

I feel like that's a very surface level read on what makes the Marvel movies work and what makes the DC movies not work. Marvel for the most part is run like a very expensive TV series with a main showrunner (Kevin Feige) who a) loves the source material and b) knows to hire and trust great...

someone wasn't using their imagination...

I always saw that as Mickey conducting the fountains like an orchestra. anyway, I feel like this version would be perfect for WDW, it's big and bombastic enough to warrant a set up like the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater. For Disneyland though I prefer the more intimate, stripped down previous...

I'm gonna go ahead and say that I don't like how they made the whole first half basically World of Color, it loses a lot of the charm and elegance of the more dimly lit older version. There is also too much projection mapping, not every segment has to include screensavers on Tom Sawyer island...

I live and work in Southern California, of course I've seen Remember, the individual land and attraction segments are pretty great but structurally it's just a bigger version of Wishes.
