I've been thinking recently about how we want to do our presentation.
Space has already spoken on the importance of remaining simple with our descriptions. Most of the judges will have never been to the parks, and it wouldn't be very fun to expect them all to research everything beforehand. This project requests visuals, namely maps.
Then it hit me- what if we created a map! For those unaware, GoogleMyMaps allows you to create your own "maps" by placing markers and semitransparent shapes over regular google. We can add descriptions to these markers instead of making one long forum post.
Curiosity got the better of me and I started playing around with what a custom map might look like. You guys can add to it. Here it is: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iKby_UfZn0WJGVco5AnZfkw_M4fNIgSf&usp=sharing

I love it, but wouldn’t the description box get really long with all the words we have?!

That's why we keep it simple! This isn't a typical project with a standard format - I say we embrace the nuance of it and do something different!

Ok!! I will try to keep our writeups short but detailed

That will also mean less work for everyone

I don't know if we really want to wow the crowd, shouldn't we keep it somewhat well detailed?

I might get sent to the Cursed Courtroom for this, but I don't think we need much detail. Let's look at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. How much are you going to say about a flat ride? All you need is their names, a short desc of what they are, and their placement on the map for best visualization.

But what about the e-tickets!?! If you do a lot to a ride, you have to explain what you did and make sure the reader will understand. If there is a new feature in a ride, it shouldn’t be too short to where it doesn’t make sense. I know @James G. is gone right now, but he might be our best solution maker right now.

If it gets too long, I suppose you could create a link to a google doc in the marker description instead.
But you are right- we shouldn't start this debate now, without our PM. We shall wait.

I don’t want to make the debate bigger, but I just want to say that this means that readers would have to click on more tabs and open way too many things.

I'm going to step in and say that in terms of detail - your and TwilightZone's E-tickets are components of 25% of the total project. Conservatively, 1 E-Ticket = 10% of the entire project
We just did a project last round about 1 E-ticket and a show. This round is not focused on detail, but on teamwork. It would make no sense to request from us the same length in description for 1 E-Ticket as, for instance, the previous round, when that E-Ticket was 50% of the entire project.
Just use math, it should be at most 1/5 the detail of the E-Ticket from the previous round.
Have you ever played in the One Sentence Competition? In a couple sentences, most of the time the reader can grasp the E-Ticket without needing copious amounts of description attached to it.

There really should be no debate. There's none needed - you have a fantastic idea that has never been done before in a competition - and we should roll with it.
You will not get sent to the Cursed Courtroom - everyone chillax about that, if we lose because of this I will go to the courtroom and take responsibility and the L. Nobody else will have to.
But, I highly doubt it will come to that.

Also fwiw...I'm pretty sure there won't be a Cursed Courtroom anyway this round because Vox and Disneylover dropped
So it's essentially a free round.
