Yep, should have things picked up soon on this front (likely next week). Had to take a short Imagineering break after SA and wanted to build up some more content that I could drop hotels, rides, shops, etc. pretty regular. Had to do some rethinking on the overall resort layout too to make a future 2nd park fit and make sense logistically. Plus think one of the original planned lands is getting moved to that 2nd park.
I also had an odd park project (for this forum) that popped in my head that only got started on the brainstorming phase with a fellow forum member and hoping to have that see the light of day in the future.
Just got back from a 16 day trip to WDW, Universal (first time there in decades so whole new world to me in person at least) and Charleston. After several rides on Rise, EE, Hulk, Hagrid's, Velocicoaster, etc., a bit rejuvenated with the time off and that trip to keep this afloat with some tweaked ideas/pieces that were already in the works.

Thank U & hope you enjoy for 16 day trip to Florida, see u next week for the Seoul Disney Project
As discussed before, the blueprint for the Disneyland Seoul resort goes beyond the standard template from previous new Disney resort offerings. While most notable in the plans and idea for the theme parks themselves, this ideal extends beyond the parks to the hotels, entertainment, and resort offerings. Among the more notable inclusions in this extensive resort plan is the first new golf course added to the Disney course portfolio outside of Orlando. Disney’s Red Pine Golf Course, named in honor of South Korea’s national tree of the same name, provides guests further leisure opportunities, while also being open to local residents.
Looking at any top 10 worldwide ranking of countries and their love and passion for golf, South Korea is sure to populate all of them following up behind the United States and Japan. With over 500 courses nationwide (a roughly 30% increase since 2010), the game and the number of rounds has continued to explode, though for the most part, finding a course locally can be quite a trek for Seoul’s residents. Korean women have continually dominated the world golf rankings and currently hold 4 of the top 6 spots. While the men’s side has not been quite so successful, long-time favorites like K.J. Choi have helped bring visibility to the game as it has continued to grow.
Situated at the Southeast corner of the property, Red Pine is spread throughout roughly 485 acres of land. The course itself occupies only about 220 acres of that land utilizing the natural topography of the plot to frame the individual holes and leave the major land shaping for the parks, shopping and more elsewhere in the resort. This approach leaves each of the course’s holes with a unique feel as save for 2 3-hole stretches, each hole is largely secluded from the remainder of the course. Remaining acreage is filled out with a beautiful clubhouse, driving range, and parking for offsite guests.
Taking the lead on the design of the course is Greg Norman Golf Course Design. A familiar brand worldwide, the Norman team already has experience with design in Korea having designed one of the countries top-rated courses, the Jade Palace Golf Club. As noted, much of the terrain remains unchanged to take advantage of the elevation in this part of the plot. Additions to the course area include numerous plantings of red pines, local plant life and creation of several reservoirs for both scenic and practical purposes.
Five sets of tees, peaking out at 6651 meters (7273 yards) for those with low handicaps or looking for a challenge, and a par score of 71 offer a range of options for golfers of all skill levels. Each tee provides their own sets of challenges to ensure a test, but still an enjoyable experience. Holes one through nine largely cover the northeast portion of the acreage with holes ten through eighteen the northeast before wrapping around some of the larger elevation points on property and heading home towards the clubhouse. A small course shop is located between holes nine and ten for guests looking to continue while still being able to grab something light to eat. Guests looking to take a slightly longer break or who are ending after nine holes are just a short cart ride to the clubhouse.
Management of the course itself will be handled by Golfzon, the largest course operator in South Korea. With numerous courses under their management around the country, their expertise will help ensure a smooth-running operation from the links to the clubhouse and everything in between. Samsung has also been brought on as a sponsor and investor in the course, having already owned five courses nationwide. Their involvement will also be used to assist in sponsoring a future tournament from one of the Asian tours to the new course.
Guests driving in from the main resort entrance and those staying onsite both arrive to the course via Card Walker Drive. Named for the longtime Disney executive who was a big fan of golf himself, the drive leads past picturesque views of the 8th and 1st holes before arriving at the 180 thousand square feet club house complex. The striking multilevel clubhouse provides no shortage of space to house dining, event space, a pro shop, video golf bays and plenty of outdoor lounge and dining space providing striking views of the 18th hole. Framed on either side by hillsides, the clubhouse flows seamlessly into the surroundings.
Day 1 operations call for a full-service driving range across from the main entrance to the clubhouse. Inside one wing of the clubhouse on the 2nd floor, 10 virtual golf bays have been set up to allow for all-weather golf year-round. Able to accommodate up to 4 golfers at a time, Golfzon has extensive experience with providing a top-notch experience utilizing this screen-based golf action. As the resort at large continues to expand and a further list of offerings is needed, long range plans call for the addition of a 9-hole executive course on the western edge of the grounds and utilizing part of the driving range space. As golf popularity has increased nationally, so has the desire for night golf and this new executive course will come fully lit allowing for full play night or day.

When I tell people that I spent a month in Korea, I usually tell them that their culture has some ties to our own, including an interest in baseball and golf. So great inclusion!

Ok so for Sci-Fi Land, what about a intergalactic mission coaster?
Like maybe guests are on a mission on the alien planet of Kubbar (call it whatever you want, this is just a random name), to collect like a alien hostage or something, and have to go thru it's alien tribe.
This idea would need work, I know that and if you need me to work on it for you i will!
Love the idea btw

Resort Layout
Long range planning for the resort at large calls for 2 theme parks, 5 hotels, a shopping/entertainment district, golf course, parking, resort infrastructure and land for residential development. As maps and layouts are released for the hotels and parks, you can check back to this post for an update to the overall map.
Highlights of the design include:Long range planning for the resort at large calls for 2 theme parks, 5 hotels, a shopping/entertainment district, golf course, parking, resort infrastructure and land for residential development. As maps and layouts are released for the hotels and parks, you can check back to this post for an update to the overall map.
- Shared backstage services between the two theme parks with additional backstage and resort infrastructure located on either side of the theme parks
- Wide, open plazas at both park entrances allowing for ample crowd flow and connected by 40 acres of green space
- Largescale entry, security and bus drop off point (light blue) that serves to provide secured entry for all offsite guests from parking, buses and via the monorail station at the entertainment complex (red)
- 4 of the resorts' 5 hotels located on the eastern edge of the property allowing for private resorts only entrances from both the main resort entry as well as the east side
- 2 multi-level parking garages
- 65-acre residential expansion zone
- 200+ acres (initially with more planned) of terrain and nature offset to protect both the long-term development of the resort but also improve drainage, environmental impacts, and aesthetics of the land with the majority of the site currently already void of much nature and wildlife
