Orange/Green Team - Stanza XIII: The Carnival of the Animators

[Pi on my Cake]

I think Vox is asleep but I would be down.

If @Voxel can't or doesn't want to, I wouldn't mind copiloting. My last PM round didn't exactly go the best cuz I was moving/finishing the semester. I wouldn't mind a redemption. Plus, other than my usual work schedule I don't have anything going on this week that would take up time. So, I'm free other than work.

If the prom royalty doesn't work out of course

I also have a uni pass and 2 of those refillable cup thingies

I believe I still have a park map of MGM and early DCA -- tomorrow I'll go searching for them.

I know I definitely have the 100 Years of Magic on VHS

Great call. Completely missed that. I was distracted by the greatest attraction of that time, "Sounds Dangerous!"

Oh whichever team ends up doing MGM that is a must-stay attraction!

I practically still feel the Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Play It! answer paddles in my hand. Can still picture walking through the Osborne Lights in their proper place on the sitcom houses. Doug f****** Live! Power Rangers on the streets of America. Star and Motorcars parade. I may be combing slightly different eras together in my head as a nostalgic blur. But still, love it

Also before starting this I double checked -- for both MGM and DCA -- on Google Earth you can go back to 1995/6 ish to find aerial shots (they're also online but on an angle) GE gives you directly above so it's easier to navigate the space you'd be working with.

1995 era MGM I'm not super familiar with as I was born 1995. But MGM has been my favorite park since my earliest memories. Around 2001 is where my knowledge really starts to kick in. I still have a pin from the 100 years of magic celebration with the newly opened Millionare show.

I would definitely vote MGM creating the absolute best version of my childhood favorite.

But DCA would give us the chance to start essentially fresh. Using a basic framework of California/Americana or Westcot, or something completely new. As long as we can stick with a realistic budget, the sky's the limit.

Both are good options.

I'm gonna head to bed know. I work from 4-midnight tomorrow and the next day. But I'll be on before and after for brainstorming.

I'd rather the blank slate. Totally ignoring the California pitch and instead doing something that rivals DisneySea
