Outbound: I really appreciate your attention to detail in this project… conceptually, it’s very unique and a great idea, but the detail really sets it apart. The exhibits are a nice touch, and the distinction between them on each ship is a great idea as well. I also really like the different dioramas and the ideas behind them, so all in all the concept is really well done. However, there are a couple things that I think could be improved. First, and this is just a more minor thing, but I feel like the ship is super out of place in Four Winds Square at the place you have it docking, and if there is a Tomorrowland prompt at some point, I feel like it’d be weird too… like when you think about it, you can’t really see the railroad for the most part in Tomorrowland (unless my memory is just really bad), so I think it would be tough to integrate in those two lands especially. My other thing with this is something I’ve said several times this season… not everything needs a super in depth backstory, especially when the backstory is so central to the reason for the ships existing. I continue to be blown away by your ability to come up with stories out of nothing, and this is a great story you created, but it ends up being really superfluous, especially considering that the park already has so many in depth backstories. Again, the work is really well done, I just think that the story is too unnecessary, which dropped my realism score somewhat.

Pi: I really love the idea of using horseback rides as a way to navigate around the park… it’s definitely something super unique! I like the different stations a lot, especially the Harbortown and 4 Winds Square stations! All in all, it’s a really creative idea that I really like. That being said, I really hope you have a massive group of horses because I think this park is significantly larger than the Magic Kingdom lol… I think the ticketing thing is kind of unnecessary and put-offish… Like I understand your reasoning for it, but I don’t think a ticketed experience would be used a as a real means of transportation. The railroad is used to some extent for transportation, partially because it’s a relaxing experience, but also because it’s quicker than you think, and I don’t think the horses fit that. The only other thing, and this is more of something that I don’t know if anybody is able to make fit, but horses going through Tomorrowland is a little strange. I realize I’m being nitpicky, but in a group this good, I feel the need to nitpick to justify my scores. It really is a great concept though, and I truly enjoyed it!

Hulk: Man I don’t even know what to say hahaha… like this is a crazy idea that would never happen, but it’s a really fun idea, and your concept art of the track behind the castle keeps making me laugh. To be honest, I don’t have much to say because there isn’t much here, but I really need to know what a Tiki Roll is!

B-Wolf: At first, I thought it was sorta boring to do the train concept again, but the more I read, the more I thought this was actually a really great idea. I like the tributes to different very significant Imagineers and the description of the parlor car and automatic doors. I think you really set yourself apart with doing a really unique idea like this that also has some great theming throughout… I could see this 100% being something viewed as an attraction with the different sights in the journey. My favorite parts are the cave between the “Frontierland” station and the Four Winds Square section and the Hidden World section… what great ideas! The only criticisms I have is that, although I think it’s a great idea integrating the train into the mine train, there’s much less convenience in taking a train from the hub area to the different lands than the front of Harbortown. Also, it would be ridiculously challenging to build something like this because you’d have to have a fully underground show building, but that’s neither here nor there really… it is a blue sky park after all! This is probably my favorite idea so far-timeless and yet really fitting with the themes behind the lands… great work!

Mickeynerd: I like the idea of making a more advanced monorail, because I think some people criticize the fact that the monorails are still very similar in design to the monorails from decades ago, so it was cool to see that advancement. Definitely a bold choice to anchor your transportation option in a land that isn’t guaranteed to be made in this competition, but if there is a Tomorrowland prompt, I think this would be a great way to anchor your transportation. I will say that I wish there was more of an explanation other than just making a blanket statement that the cars and stations would be user-friendly and designed with the passenger in mind… like I don’t really know what that means in this context, so I would’ve liked more of an explanation of that. I don’t think 5 stops is necessary either; and I don’t know how fast the train goes, so I don’t know how long a trip around the park would take, but I think with that number of stops, you’re probably looking at doubling your travel time. I like the concepts for the different stations though, I just wish there was more detail on them, and on that note, you mention “transport tubes”, but I don’t know what that means either, versus it being easier to conceptualize dioramas. Ultimately, the more I think about it, even though I like the idea of modernizing the monorail, it seems too industrial and too focused on efficient transportation, which isn’t necessarily the point of a round the park transportation service. I think if you focused more on theming and stuff between the different stations, I might feel differently… I do really love the idea though… it’s definitely a creative answer to the prompt!

PerGron: First of all, sorry about the time mixup! That being said, the work you did put out is impressive for being short on time! I like the little backstory with you being at the center of it, and it explains your thought process for why you picked the hot air balloons, but why’d you go and suggest the Chicken Little attraction? Now nothing can live up to that!!! I think that this idea actually fits very well with the entire park, which is something other projects this time have struggled with. I like the spots you chose for the stations, especially not choosing to clog up Seasons of Fantasy, which reminds me, I really like the humor with which you presented this. I also think that having transport and express lines was a smart idea that accomplishes the goals of it serving as an attraction and a transportation method. Honestly, there’s not really anything to criticize here; you don’t need interlude scenes between the stations because the park itself is your scenery, which is a great idea. I don’t think it’s the most creative idea (just because this is basically a rethemed Skyway with impressive improvements), but it’s by far the most realistic one that satisfies everything we’re looking for, so it’s near the top of the list for me.
