Paris is really uping the game, huh?

Muppetsfan: I am totally not grumbling in the corner as it seems that every other park except for Disney world is getting something new.

Narrator: At that moment one of Muppetsfan friends walks in the room.

Muppetsfan: Wait when did you come back, I though you were just a useless side character during the Christmas special.

Deven: What.

Muppetsfan: Nevermind.

Deven: You know when you say totally not, you are just making it sound like you are.

Devan: What are you doing.

Devan: Woah what are you doing.

Muppetsfan: Not to fear, this will cure you of your depression.

Deven: Oh okay, whew I was worried for a second. Waittttttt, I don’t have depression.

Muppetsfan: Bang, Bang.

Deven: I am dead.

Matias: The Devan is dead.

Muppetsfan: For all of you wondering, these characters are not going to be related to the story that I might be telling in the future.

I have a new park idea based on the shared mythological concept of lost cities. The lands are based on 6/7 of the continents: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia and the Pacific Islands. Each continent will have 2 “cities” from either mythology or history. The historical ones will have added mythology to make them blend in with the mythological ones. North America will have Cibola, an Ancestral Pueblo cliff dwelling rumored to be filled with gold and treasures, and Aztlan, the ancestral homeland of the Aztecs. South America will have Manoa, a lost Chibcha city of gold located on Lake Guatavita in Colombia ruled by a man covered in gold dust named El Dorado, and Paititi, a lost Inca city in the jungle. Europe will have Atlantis, a submerged Greek settlement in the Mediterranean, and Buyan, The Russian Island Of The Winds submerged under the Baltic. Africa will be home to Zerzura, a Moroccan citadel hidden in the Sahara desert where all the buildings are white, and the Lost City Of The Kalahari, a San tribal settlement in South Africa lost to the sands of the Kalahari Desert. Asia will have Shambhala, a Tibetan kingdom of eternal peace hidden within the Himalayas, and Iram Of The Pillars, an ancient Nabatean city located deep within the Wadi Rum desert. Australia and the Pacific Islands will have Hawaiki, the ancestral home island of the Māori, and Nan Madol, a Pohnpeian city that just recently emerged from the sea's depths built by twin wizards. The Main Street/Hub will be the Lost Continent Of Mu, based aesthetically on ruins found in Cambodia, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Tonga, and Micronesia.

You should check out the Lost Kingdoms park from 1986 a few years ago. Easily one of my favorite projects I've been a part of and features a few of your selections like Zerzura and Buyan as well

My gosh the entire project seems endless and peak armchair imagineering (12 PEOPLE worked on this ). Was this a one-week prompt for a competition, or is it like a forum project?

Adding to this, what is the significance of the number “1986” to this project?

This project was a full game run by @TheOriginalTiki and @mickeyfan5534 a few years back. Each round was one land, so everything you see is made up of many rounds.

No real significance, as far as I know. The first season was 1984 and 1986 was a natural progression from that. Not entirely sure why we skipped 1985 though.

The first season was named 1984 after Big Brother, and we skipped to 1986 for the sequel in honor of the year the original Tomorrowland was supposed to take place in.

Going live at the top of the hour for our Oscar nomination reactions!


My initial thoughts

Spoiler

-Diane Warren getting nominated for "Flaming Hot" is priceless haha
-Not surprised that Blackberry got nothing, but a bit let down.
-Genuinely surprised that Saltburn also walked away with a goose egg.
-Even more surprised that Napoleon walked away with several below the line nominations
-My heart genuinely broke for Dominic Sessa and Zac Efron
-THANK GOD Danielle Brookes actually managed to make it in, because besides her Color Purple was snubbed HARD
-Of course Godzilla Minus One is up for NOTHING besides visual effects...
-Napoleon getting into production design over Asteroid City and Asteroid City also getting a goose egg
-May December got hosed HARD in the acting categories.
-Really happy that Anatomy of a Fall got in as much as it did. The editing nomination was particularly inspired.
-Similarly glad for The Zone of Interest getting some above the line stuff, though my quest to actually see the movie still remains unfruitful.
-Killers of the Flower Moon remains my golf clap "I respected it but I didn't actively enjoy watching it" pick of the season.

2. Who was the best Disney songwriter or songwriting team?
3. What is the worst use of a licensed song in any Disney film?

Interesting video just dropped from DSNY Newscast.



I never thought of this theory before, but I will admit that it does make a lot of sense when you think about this way.

For the TL;DR, Jack claims that Tiana's Bayou Adventure will make sense in Frontierland if you look at the attractions in both Frontierland and Liberty Square charting the history of America's westward expansion. Liberty Square, naturally, marks the early days of America in 1776; Country Bear Jamboree marks the year 1796, the year when Tennessee became a state, and Jack backed this claim by pointing out that according to the movie, Grizzly Hall is in the fictional Tennessee town of Pendleton; the NOLA-set Tiana's Bayou Adventure naturally marks the Louisiana Purchase; and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, with its influence from Bryce Canyon and Monument Valley, marks the Mexican Cession of 1848, when both the Utah and Arizona Territories became part of the country.
