Welcome home, WaltWiz! We're looking forward to seeing your work. If you're interested in a non-Disney park presentation, look up "Americana 1900." Warning, though, it's not a quick read!

I'm thinking about going down to the local Domino's and talking to the manager about an investment opportunity. ;)

The first thing I thought when I read this was, "My cup runneth over!" I don't think I really expected any awards — heck, the nominations themselves surprised me. Then I see that I won three! (Best Project, Park and Presentation). Wow!! Besides thanking everyone for their support of my Americana...

Thanks @tcool123 I know I only participated in three rounds, but they were fun to do. I've been pretty busy this summer, but this kind of competition where there was no stress, play when we had time and a chance at the end to jump in was a great idea! Thanks!

What park is this at? That looks like a Windseeker in the back, and I think those are usually at Cedar Fair parks.

Milan-Cortina 2026 Adventures by Disney will offer a unique experience in 2026, when guests will be able to experience the Twenty-Fifth Winter Olympic Games in Milan-Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, from Feb. 6 through Feb. 26, with first-class hotel reservations, reserved transportation between...

A Charlie Brown Christmas in July The Cedar Point Ballroom, located directly adjacent to Planet Snoopy, becomes the location of A Charlie Brown Christmas in July, a walk-through attraction for Peanuts fans of all ages. Scenes from the ever-popular television Christmas special come to life...

I've often said that I can't write a check in less that 500 words. Some people joke about buying vowels- I buy punctuation marks. Commas, dashes, semicolons...

Bessie’s Revenge Utilizing the space underneath and around Magnum XL-200 is Bessie’s Revenge, an entirely enclosed white water rafting adventure that brings Cedar Point Shores to the forefront in themed water adventures. The year is 1912, and guests at the Cedar Point resort are taking a...

Wow...I'm not sure I could write a check in less than 500 words. I might stick my nose in here a bit, not for the win but for the experience.

That's one drawback to listing prices, esp. for food. The moment you establish a price, it'll go up! Also, I find that a long list of menu items can cause me to just skip over it, regardless of how well thought-out it is. In Americana 1900, I chose to list examples of the menu items, often with...

If you have a chance to look at my Americana 1900 presentation, I have several extended examples of my writing (I got a bit carried away with telling a backstory, and it turned into a novella!).

Welcome! I'll have to check out Disneytopia. I tend to pop in here occasionally when I'm not obsessing about The Americana Resort. I've been doing my own writing about my park- right now I'm up to five novels, all of which need massive rewrites, but I understand how our theme parks become...

A friend who inspired the character of Johnathan Havoc helped me with the menu for Jeremy's Balcony. I'll contact him to get the recipe and pass it on. As far as the books, they are mostly in the first draft version, but I intend on getting them cleaned up soon. Your interest in them does...

If anyone is still following this, I have a question or two. First, I included several shortish stories in the presentation. Do you feel that they added to the presentation? Were they too long? Was the writing quality good enough to make them worth including in the presentation? Please be...

I honestly don't have a favorite. If I had to make any sort of ranking, I think that State Fair is the most important TOWNSHIP (if you want lands, go visit the Black Rat of Orlando ;) ). Its emphasis on classic rides, some of which are difficult or impossible to find today, makes it a great...

LOL! I'm working a bit on another novel about Americana 1900, possibly a major fleshing out of the backstory for The Pike. I'm also thinking about possibly- and don't make me promise anything- developing a similar major presentation of RetroAmericana 1950. Right now, though, I'm exhausted from...

It's odd how I don't need to get up so early to post the next episode! I'm still debating what my next project will be, but of course I can work on more than one thing at a time. Don't expect anything next week. Maybe next year...I said "maybe!" Thanks for your support during this adventure :) 🤜🤛

I truly am humbled and honored by the kind words and generous praise that Americana has received. I was a bit concerned that a site with WDW in its name would not be especially interested in a fantasy theme park that so totally avoids the Disney "magic" wherever possible. I didn't expect any...

I wish we had an emoji to choose that said "humble gratitude."
