Thank you! That definitely helps. I'll try to avoid too much crossover, but it helps seeing you're going more for specific creatures or entities.

Looking good, but I worry there may be a huge focus on Europe. I suggest including some myths from Native America, Africa, Asian Far East, etc. But overall this is a great original idea for IASW!

If you’re looking for some of these, I have a list (for those that don’t know, my best friend is an anthropologist at the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian so if you need help on Native American lore, let me know.)
Anyway
North America
- Wendigo (Algonquian)
- Sasquatch (Multiple)
- Pukwudgie (Ojibwe)
- Akhlut (Inuit)
- Amorak (Inuit)
- Thunderbird (Multiple)
- Skin-Walker (Navajo)
- Kushtaka (Tlingit)
Africa/Middle East
- Mokele-mbembe (Central Africa)

There's also always the potential for some modern mythology mixed in with all these classics. It would have to be done subtely to overwhelm things. But a Superman inspired figure for America or an Anime inspired figure for Japan could be interesting. Of course, these are only several decades old, not centuries old so it's up for intepretation as to whether they count as folklore yet.

Table Service Dining
- Large murals on wall showing children of the world holding hands
- Other side overlooks a section of the IASW boat ride
- Colorful plates and glasses
- Colorful tile floor
- Animatronic clocks and buzzers randomly go off
- Ball pit and slide in the center (kids only)
- Little "canal" system of boats, each representing a country with a child aboard, sailing around (like a toy train, but boats)

I don’t mean any offense but I hope that you don’t intend to add the more macabre and nightmarish beasts into the final design.

Facade for Arts & Crafts & Gifts toy store is to be a massive, building-sized toy chest. Of course very colorful, with murals of classic toys like teddy bear & jack-in-the-box & snow globe, etc.

Really awesome! Love the selection.
Could you add trolls to Norway? I'm dying to see a three-headed troll as a nod to Maelstrom at Epcot. Miss that ride so much.

That’s a fair point, just listing off creatures I know of. Up to their discretion of what they choose or don’t haha

Yeah, that works for me.

Yeah, first I listed off mythical creatures that would be more recognizable. I’ll definitely include more from those regions.
NigelChanning
Well-Known Member
Thanks! I worry some of these may be not as recognizable (and maybe a little frightening) but I’ll definitely add creatures like the Sasquatch and the Thunderbird!
NigelChanning
Well-Known Member
I thought about that and I think that they would kind of fit into that category so I’ll definitely add some!
NigelChanning
Well-Known Member
Absolutely! I thought that I already did but apparently I forgot so thanks for reminding me haha!

@Outbound, have you selected a name for the table service restaurant? If not, how about Blair’s - elegant, classy, and you can use the space as a gallery for Mary Blair’s artwork.
@Brer Panther, would you mind if I did some artwork of the Four Towers balloon ride today? Using your design notes, of course.

Did y’all see how the forums crashed like that? And were under maintenance for a bit? Or was that just me
