It's nice! If you plan on writing more, can you edit your original review post to feature up to 7 reviews in order to avoid clutter? Thanks

I was going to do that, but it might need some extra time. I’ll try doing the rest on Tuesday.
Edit 1: Must added 2 reviews to the list! Will get more done later!
Edit 2: Finished! Will get the next batch of pitchs done on Thursday!

Just to let @Lord Fozzinator, @Disney Warrior, @Tony the Tigger, @Brer Panther, @D Hulk & @WaltWiz1901 know in case their alerts didn’t show, I did some guest reviews for your projects!

Wait ngl @Half/CartoonHalf/Human you have convinced me to get the reviews in. You've been a very helpful source of motivation since you joined and sincerely I wish you lots of luck when you join What if? in a few months. Thank you so much and I'll see you tomorrow (with the reviews and the results)!
I just realized, that today is 9/11 and it feels a bit awkward to end it on this day. Let this be a day of silence, of remembering...

And here’s the second batch a day early since the official reviews are coming out tomorrow:
Disney’s New England Adventure - @OSUPhantom
I, for one, am not familiar with New England. It really took away what this park was based about (I’m not sure if it was for American or the England in London), but it is certainly a theme that would make for a interesting park. And yes I would be eating at the dunkin (donuts?)
Bonus 1 - Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
Bonus 3 - He certainly is fishy
Disney’s Route 66 Adventure - @Rock Wren
A road trip themed park? This is in my bags! I love how you said that you would reuse the original road trip way to Disneyland and with all that you included here! It makes a really cool idea! My only problem with it though is that why is it a retheme of DCA? It’s a little weird that you went in that direction, but hey, reusing some existing parts of it works for me!
Bonus 1 - Looks like Mickey got into some road troubles again (The reference is from the mickeys trailer short)
Bonus 2 - Nicely done logo
Bonus 3 - Monstro 2.0?
I’ll get some more reviews done later if I can!

So then they are ready to go, and you just didn’t want to post them out of respect for 9/11? So you can post them all immediately, right?
Because I’m sure you wouldn’t dare edit your post to add using 9/11 as an excuse when you were just not ready again.

This might be a BIT too late, but I still had an idea for the prompt.
Representing Most of the Disney catalog of what the biggest corporation in the world (up to knowledge), Disney‘s Worlds - Universes of Adventure represents the major franchises and companies of the rich two-eared mouse.
After entering through the parks Main Street, Legacy Street (which is based around the lives and legacies of all the company founders, mostly Walt though), Gateways to each Disney Universe can be found, such as LucasFilm, Marvel, Disney, Muppets, Pixar, 20th Century Fox and more!
One of the parks major E-Tickets is Walt Disney’s Railroad, A mix of the casual train rides at the Disney Castle Parks, mixed with a bit of One Man’s Dream and other Walt Disney related attractions at the parks; upon boarding the train, we go through a mixture sets and the story that was Walt’s life.

Batch #1
Disney’s America Adventure - @Brer Panther
HAH ALSO SAW THIS COMING FROM MILES AWAY! As another returning player of OSC, your strong suit clearly is the idea of taking niche but memorable IPs and making the most exciting of lands from them. You had a ton of standout pitches throughout the game - and even though America Adventure isn’t an original concept, the meat that you’ve built into the park is still so explorable. New York is my favorite pitch coming from inside the lands, as filled with the Muppets, it’s chaotic and devilishly fun- my cup of tea. I love the other lands, but there’s a surprising lack of a real national park style land with redwood trees, with the only substitute being the Grizzly style raft ride but in the relatively barren everglades? The forestry and fresh air of Northwestern national park must find a home here… or in Tokyo (hint hint)! Radiator Springs fits everywhere, especially in this park, where you changed the definition of an American Adventure to an American Adventure through Time, which is… bravo!

Disney’s Ancient American Adventure - @cdunlap
Funny not having seen you here before and funny that I’m telling you this late - but welcome to the game! I very much enjoy this pitch, because it’s ambitious but grounded at the same time. You have a very famous knowledge of the Ancient Americas, and here your pitch particularly shines with the culture and beauty of the Aztecs, Mayans, Incas, etc. Even better is how fitting this is in Florida, with its tropical climate and historical context. Honestly, going through places like the Andes Mountain and the Yucatan Jungles in the Florida climate doesn’t hinder it - it supports it and weirdly I feel that with an ample amount of misters, it will feel pretty cool in the humid air. Again, I love your little additions and easter eggs throughout the park, from frescos and glyphs to calendars. The picture paints a nice image along with the lands provided - all of them feel very fresh and vibrant, and I would genuinely love to visit this park!
+1 Bonus - OMG imagine riding this in Winter
+1 Bonus - I love Quetz! Isn’t he from the Google culture game?
Disney’s Dixieland Adventure - @Lord Fozzinator
Throughout this game, you grew with very “American” or reverent concepts, and seriously I had lots of fun watching you participate. While not all concepts in the beginning hit the mark, eventually you found your voice and was able to shine with a bunch of really fun and interesting concepts! I’m not very knowledgeable about of the culture of the southern states (except y’know lol), but the Dixieland part of America is underrated and beautiful. The idea of the entire park on not only the banks of the Mississippi but also bordered by water on all sides, making a sort of vacation island, is interesting and also unique. While it won’t hold tons of opportunity for expansion space, it holds a sort of “journey to magic” vibe, like the Seven Seas Lagoon at MK. The Dixieland castle-style park is probably the only miss of this pitch, but only because there’s so many things that could make this park it’s very own, and it doesn’t need any Space Mountain/Jungle Cruise copies! A giant Appalachian mountain range at the center ringed with different lands around it would seem slightly more appealing, but great work all around! The hotels sound very appealing too/

Disney’s Florida Adventure - @Disney Warrior
LOL, I saw this pitch coming from miles away! While its heavily discussed all around, a Florida Adventure would still sound very fun. This leads back to your style in the game, which I saw to be very fun, utilizing relevant and interesting ip into levels beyond. While the overarching idea isn’t super original, it’s the lands, the meat of the park, that are unique and vibrant, differing from the “sleepy” park I generally imagined for a Florida Adventure. Is Citrusville in similar vein to the Citrusland winning project from Citrus Dreamin’ (totally not made by AGP lol)? The land was always one of my favorites to work on and easily I can see this fitting right in. Daytona but with a Cars twist is super fun, and I would rather have it here than in MK. Swampland, Florida Keys, Buccaneer Cove, and Pensacola are all great concepts and are worth visiting. Inserting related IP that is relevant and fresh is such a good move, even considering fan hate of IP in the parks. Again, while I didn't go in super interesting, I am very hooked with your pitch! It’s an adventure through Florida in a matter of minutes.

Disney’s Evil Doppelganger Adventure - @Tony the Tigger
Wow this is completely off the hinges and weirdly great. Literally off the hinges, as no park is involved, but lol it’s fun. I enjoy Evil Tiki Birds very much, and I hope they sing an excellent rendition of Poor Unfortunate Souls. Is your evil doppelganger Tigger the Tony? Sounds very evil and macho lmao - still giving you the point for this because I adore your evildoing SO MUCH

So you did use 9/11 as an excuse. You weren’t ready, and pretended you were ready, just not posting out of a feigned reverence for the day, as I suspected.fr
Another Edit
I think that’s pretty crummy, and you should have more respect for the people who died that day, like my friend Tonyell McDay, who was in her 20’s.
I’ll unfollow the thread now. I’ve joked about it along the way, but I feel the way this challenge was handled was inconsiderate of others’ time and efforts. I hadn’t seen another one like it. Someone else should have taken over a long time ago.
Your schoolwork comes first, of course. But if you can’t handle both (plus apparently another challenge) then don’t, that’s OK, too. Know when to ask for help when you’re in over your head. People would respect that.
If you take lessons from this about not biting off more than you can chew, respecting others’ time, and honoring your commitments (regardless of whether it was voluntary or not) then it will have been worth it.
My best to you. Good luck to the remaining contestants.
Sorry, I’m older and blunt. Not that sorry.

Yes! He’s much more mascot-like than a real resplendent quetzal, which is why I used him to represent Quetz, which is derived rom my nickname for Quetzalcoatl. (Yes, I give every Aztec god a nickname if their name is long)
