Yes, when you ask someone else for help on a project, you are voluntarily giving up some creative control to allow the person you asked for help space to create. Because otherwise, if you had all the answers, you wouldn't need to ask for the creative help in the first place.
Firstly, different people will have different opinions. It’s not inconsistency, it’s different people offering unique perspectives.
That's the beauty of humanity. Everyone likes different things. We all come from different backgrounds with different stories, so we all have something unique to add.
I think it would fit perfectly. After all, the circus is literally called “Storybook Circus”, implying that it’s a home for storybook characters in general, not necessarily just an American circus.Do you think this kind of ride, a swing ride themed to Pinocchio, would work in Storybook Circus? If so, how?
In its current iteration no. The circus infrastructure primarily centers around Dumbo, but the area could be easily restructured to reflect a broader circus theme. Currently, there are classic characters like Mickey and Donald reflected in the circus theme, but when walking through the area, especially at its entrance, you don’t really get that impression.Do you think this kind of ride, a swing ride themed to Pinocchio, would work in Storybook Circus?

I think a bigger issue with the ride's placement in Storybook Circus (which doesn't even have Dumbo's name in the land name) is just how the physical structure in the concept art would fit, since it's themed not just to Pinocchio, but to one of Geppetto's creations in particular. It would also need to be enclosed to protect from the elements. However, given the size of any swing ride, even without the elevated platform, it would require a HUGE building to house it, which would likely be so huge as to dwarf the surrounding structures.
Why would it need to be enclosed? I think it would be better as an open air attraction. Adds more kinetics to the land.
Maybe so, but one problem is the size. Not only would it be out of scale with the surrounding structures, but it looks like an oversized toy, which certainly does not fit in with the circus setting at all, especially if it was outdoors. I'm pretty sure there's a reason why this park's Dumbo ride now has more of a circus motif, rather than a toy-like theme at other parks. What's more, I don't see Geppetto having anything to do with something that would seem more fitting for, say, Stromboli. And then there's the issue of inclement weather, which is all too common in Florida. I could be mistaken, but I think they shut down the Silly Symphony Swings when it rains, just as they shut down the teacups in Disneyland when it rains.
I already have a job, and a good-paying one at that (with the state). I'm pretty sure Imagineering pays a lot less than the state. I fear I'm also out of the age range for internships now. Plus, I would have to move to Florida in order to actually work at Imagineering for real, since that's where they seem to be moving everything now. Thanks just the same, though.
Isn't that for people who want to actually become Imagineers for real? My knowledge isn't engineering, but more like writing.
