Hey, I'm still here. Life’s just really getting in the way, what with the fact that I'm almost finished with 12th grade, so therefore I’m busy! I will try to get a few things done here in the near future of the rest of March, April, and early May, but no promises! Now, after May 7, I will probably be more active here because that will be after graduation.

my isolated thoughts:

Spoiler

• God does the Grand Library make for a better entry than Studio 1 or whatever you want to call it now
• The Royal Forest is a solid opening land with a solid attraction lineup - but I'm not quite sure I'd call the Sleeping Beauty ride an E-ticket in the "reskinned Seven Dwarfs Mine Train" form Krosnick has it in, or if the tone of the show scenes harmonize with the tone of the ride itself. If it were me, I would've switched things up there - give Maleficent a decent portion of a longer, bigger coaster and Aurora the play-and-greet
• Similarly, while I like the idea he has going for Wonderland, just making the dark ride a Ratatouille reskin (from what I could gather) feels a little too underwhelming. I would've loved for him to reshape and expand the ride building so it could support something on par with Hunny Hunt or Mystic Manor
• Once we get past the overlap, this park instantly shoots up from "good" to "spectacular", one thing that still can't be said about Adventure World in either its current or not-so-distant-future self. Mary Poppins and The Jungle Book are perfect picks to represent the '60s, and especially after you read the further context behind it on Twitter, the main Little Mermaid ride sounds like it's a vast improvement over the half-baked one we got on both sides of the States
• Was not expecting him to throw a Ghibli film into the mix to rep the "Dark Age"! Up until then I was under the impression he would've used a mix of Robin Hood, Winnie the Pooh, and The Black Cauldron, so his pick definitely caught me off guard (in a good way, mind you)
• Very good on him for not keeping Frozen Ever After in Arendelle nor cloning Anna & Elsa's Frozen Journey...and even more good on him for including three more rides than the actual land has. This take on a Frozen land is just what the IRL park needed/needs
• All in all, a few reservations don't detract from this marked improvement over anything the park has been or will be IRL. I would pay top dollar to visit it if it ever was real!
