Disney Magic Kingdoms mobile game...Armchair Imagineering come to life?

[DisneyManOne]

Well, my fellow Imagineers, I think Disney's been taking a gander at our weird and wonderful world of Armchair Imagineering, and I think they're gonna honor that with their latest mobile game.

See, at last weekend's D23 Expo, Disney announced that a new mobile game is coming soon. This new game is called Disney Magic Kingdoms, and it's a game similar to the likes of RollerCoaster Tycoon, where players can create their very own Disney park.​

The whole thing begins with Cinderella Castle. Players can build their ideal park around the castle, utilizing attractions influenced by Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris.

The D23 Expo showcased four attractions that will be featured--namely, Princess Fairytale Hall, Astro Orbiter, California Screamin' and Space Mountain.

Ah, but unlike other theme park builder games, there's a story behind this one: apparently, Disney villains are trying to take over this kingdom, and it's up to the players to keep them away in the form of quests and such. There will be plenty of characters to see--including Mickey, Cinderella, Buzz, Mike, Maleficent, Zurg, Mother Gothel and many, many more.

Here, this video should show you what to expect:

The game should be coming out soon for iOS, Android and Windows.

Well, I'm really excited and I'm gonna get it as soon as it comes out. This is sure to be nirvana for us Armchair Imagineers. For some of us, this means that we can finally build our dream resorts (or something close to that, given what the game offers). But, what do you guys think? I'm eager to hear what you guys have to hear.

I'm looking forward to playing it but I hope it's not going to have similar short comings to other park building mobile games once you get further into it.

I don't really think that this has anything to do with Imagineering for the parks. I'd ask one of the moderators to move this to the video games section.
