I am struggling to find any information on the walkthrough attraction, including the designers and show writers. Does anyone have any insights?

I know of a couple names / links among the undoubtedly numerous people involved in that masterpiece.
Concept Design by the late, great Wes Cook and Phillip Freer: https://www.phillipfreerdesign.com/#/fortress/
Richard Guittierez did the Hallway of Explorers murals: https://www.behance.net/gallery/1536071/Richard-Gutierrez-Themed-Design-Portfolio
Dan Goozee, legend, did the famous Key Art.

Welcome. A really cool glimpse of Wes Cook's work on TDS here:
Thanks for this. It's awesome, especially the instructions for painting the ceiling of Magellan's!
@RandySavage Do you happen to know who the show writer for the attraction was?
I am also trying to figure out whether S.E.A. was named as a nod to DisneySea? I do know that the name DisneySea existed before S.E.A.

As far as writing, I only have a pdf of the park credits when it won the TEA award. It appears to be a very incomplete list as none of the people I mentioned above are included. The credited showwriters for TDS are Scott Hennesy, Bill Cyr, Jan O'Connor, Michael Sprout and Art Verity... one of them may have worked on the Fortress.
I know that in the early years of its development it was called Tokyo Disney Seas (plural), and I've seen some veteran WDI still refer to it as that. Tower of Terror shared a couple easter egg links with Lost River Delta, but I don't know about S.E.A. & the fortress.

Many thanks. I've emailed some of them to ask if they were the show writer for the attraction. I will feed back if I manage to find anything out.
