Now time to answer a whole buncha questions
And now to revive the fun infrequent feature of So You Want to Be An Imagineer Season 18's Hype Thread: The Question of the Day.
First one is an easy one:
Who are you?
I am TwilightZone, I really really like theme parks and theme park history and theme park accessories (sorry easy joke to make haha). I love Epcot even though I never been (I was going to go this year but covid and all, but hey I can go next year at least). I've been in a few imagineering comps in the past and I think they are loads of fun and plan to come back to them....eventually. Also I have a lot of self discovery since then and turns out I'm nonbinary so to all of those who called me a guy in the past, you were kinda right! All pronouns zone here
Question of the Day
The first part of the game involves building a castle park. With that said, what is your favorite land in any castle park?
Tomorrowland is my absolute favorite, love the scifi theme, the rides, how interconnected everything was in the past. If new tomorrowland ends up being just as interconnected as past tomorrowlands I would be very, very happy.
Question of the Day
What is your favorite land archetype? Is it Small Town Nostalgia of Main Street U.S.A or the mystery of Adventureland? Is it the legendary Old West Frontierland or the promise of the future from Tomorrowland? Maybe it's the fairytale environment of Fantasyland or the small lived in New Orleans Square and Liberty Square? Or is it something else?
...Tomorrowland haha. Well I guess for a second I do love the nice riverboat vibe that disneyland's Frontierland has. It's very relaxing.
Question of the Day
What is your favorite long-lost attraction?
So many choices here, my favorite I've actually been on will have to be Soarin over California hands down. I still miss it all these years later. My favorite I haven't been on is Cranium Command because it was one of the first attractions I found out about and without it I wouldn't be here right now. Also it's very charming.
Question of the Day
What is your favorite Parks original character?
Besides the obvious figment I love the alien encounter alien. Just such a cool design!
Question of the Day
What is your favorite little detail in one of the parks?
The intro to the Innoventions soundtrack is a remix of magic journeys. Specifically the "neither dreaming nor pretending" part. I love that, it's something not a whole lot of people would notice.
Question of the Day
What Disney movie should get a ride that doesn't have one yet?
Fantasia or fantasia 2000 would be a cool movie to adapt into a ride, even a smaller scale "amusement park" type ride. Also if for whatever reason disney turns Soarin into an IP ride, I wouldn't be against the IP being Up.
Question of the Day
What is your favorite Main Street shop?
The one with all the candy
Question of the Day
What is your favorite park icon?
Animal kingdom's tree of life is just amazingly unique and beautiful. Too bad the attraction inside is It's tough to be a Bug.
Question of the Day
What is the best restaurant in any Disney park?
(Bonus Question:
Did the forum change overnight or is that just me?)
The blue bayou! We go every time we go to disneyland, wonderful monte cristos and you can watch the boats pass by! Plus free glowing ice cube! What's not to love.
