I'm Space - I've been around the forums since 2012, but the Imagineer side of things full-time since like 2015.
My main drive that keeps me coming back is I just really enjoy seeing new members enter the community and play in events like this, and then being able to see the progress over time as the season progresses or as they continue to hone their imagineering talents.
I'm also a big fan of designing Magic Kingdom style-parks, the possibilities are endless so I'm pumped to see what comes out of this season!

I’m PerGron, I’m a zookeeper by profession, and a lot of my best projects incorporate animals or nature, such as my all time favorite project, the Lavoratory Laboratory #HippoSplatterWall.
As I’m sure many of my comrades here can attest to, I’m a bit of an enigma. I always seem to have a skill-set or resource That can help me at the most random times, such as my experience building and planning haunted houses in real life for our Bendy HHN house, my best friend working as an anthropologist at the Museum of the American Indian for our Wendigo ride, etc.
I love this community and while summer kills me because it’s our busy season, I can’t wait to get right back into it for this event!

I'm Nate. I've been on the forums for 2 years along with the Imagineering side. I just think that these comps are so fun and you can make a lot of amazing friends while playing them.

Bringing Rod Serling back to Life at Tower of Terror Theater
As part of the special effects at the theming of my home theater (Tower of Terror Theater) after the Basement elevator entrance of the Tower of Terror, we are including a "holographic" recreation of Rod Serling via Deepfake computer manipulation of a body double. In this Deepfake, the body...
You all should check out this thread by @Tower of Terror Theater - it'll be worth your while!

Imagineering Hall of Fame - Class of 2020
As we have a break in between competitions, it's time for the 8th annual Imagineering Hall of Fame induction! The Imagineering Hall of Fame was a concept designed back in 2013 to pay special tribute to the armchair Imagineers and their contributions to the Imagineering community over the...

I'm Pi! Or Zach if you'd rather
I have crayon drawings as a toddler of armchair imagineering projects but didn't realize it was an actually hobby people had until I was procrastinating a big project for a college class back in late 2016. I've taken the occasional hiatus to focus on real life or other hobbies, but I love it here and I'm never gone for long lol. I have a degree in engineering with a double minor in theoretical physics and general mathematics. I've worked in a church off and on for my whole life basically. Big movie fan (especially Disney/Marvel stuff). I run a YouTube channel with Disney history videos. I can almost understand all the Kingdom Hearts lore. Used to scoop ice cream on main street and plan to become a Cast member again once life gets back to normal. And I sometime crumble cheez-its into my Kraft Macaroni and Cheese if I'm feeling fancy!

It adds an extra layer of crunch! Like putting breadcrumbs in mac & cheese! But extra cheesey! I unironically stand by it. Though It makes my friends who are into cooking openly weep when I tell them about it lol

I can’t blame them (snorts with amusement).

Hi, I'm Outbound! I've been participating in these games for two years and it's been a great source of inspiration and fun! In the past, I've been known for my out-of-the-box presentation ideas, but this game I'd like to dial that back and focus more on my writing.
I've been interested in designing theme parks and I remember being really interested when I first found this forum about six or seven years ago. That led to some really bad early projects I have stored on MS Word which I am definitely not releasing lol but then I kinda forgot about everything until a random day two years ago when I happened upon the forum and decided on a whim to join. I wanted to take part in the competitions, but now I'm also planning some stand-alone projects separate from those so stay tuned
.If I had any advice to give, just dive into the games and see what you can do. You'll be surprised by how quickly you catch on.

Hi, I’m Nigel Channing! Or just Nigel. Or the resident underdog if you ask Tiki

I’ve always been a fan of the Disney parks and I’ve been Armchair Imagineering before I knew that such a concept existed! I’m pretty new to the forums as my first ever competition was SYWTBA where I made it to the final six. I have a YouTube channel where I talk about movies.
And I prefer my Macaroni and Cheese without Cheese-Itz

I’m allowed to enjoy a movie about anthropomorphic cars. Besides, I have to get people to click on somehow
