I'll get starting on some content for Dorney since I feel like that is the park I have the best grasp on despite not being there...just given our baseball topic, then I'll look to Cedar, then we'll deal with the Flags of Six.

General Timeline:
Tuesday Night - Finalized Concepts (possible rough draft of at least 1 to test out ideal length)
Wednesday Night - Finalized Rough Drafts of all 4 park additions
Thursday Night - Presentation Brainstorm (if not sooner)/2nd edits to drafts
Friday Night - Final Drafts of written content pretty much done, begin concept art
Saturday Night - Presentation/Concept Art/Checking for mistakes/last minute edits.
Sunday - Concept Art/ Post with an hour or so to spare before midnight in case.
And with that - we will have turned these ideas from

For Cedar Point -- some names I'm rattling off just in blue-sky phase for the name for the hotel
Disney's Elk Lodge Resort
Disney's Blue Ridge Hotel & Spa
Disney's Grand Appalachian Resort
Disney's Greater Wolf Lodge
The last one is a joke but just a baseline name to go off of -- we can come up with it throughout the process.

Brief Backstory Rough Draft
In 1874, two engineers on the Smokey Mountain Railroad had been assigned an iron and supplies run to workers on the extension of the forest rail line. Transporting through the forest, the engineers continuously passed a patch of land peaked up on what they called Elk hill, due to the wildlife that surrounded it. Both engineers felt that with the arduous treks through the mountains on the rails, that building some sort of lodging area to rest on night-shifts would be ideal. Owner of the railroad company, a wealthy tycoon similar to the Vanderbilts, upon visiting the land upon the hill, gazed out at the beautiful scenic mountain ranges and decided to build it not only for workers to separately bunk in, but also for a vacation lodge for his family and other guests to visit scenic Tennessee. Upon construction, drilling into the mountain side, workers realized that the hillside had been acting as a dam of sorts, holding back a river. During the construction, the river flooded the site, but luckily, not until most construction was complete, and the crevasses left over ended up merging into beautiful waterfalls and flowing streams that could be used for additional transport but also fishing and many more recreational activities, that today - flash forward almost 150 years, are still in use as a scenic getaway destination for explorers, travelers, and families alike with plenty to see and do throughout the experience.

While rough -- I do think this enables us to be able to incorporate railroad influences into the Lodge...and the flowing river then makes sense why it doubles as a 'spring' of sorts connecting to the water park and having indoor activities because perhaps years down the line they decided to enclose it (like in the 1990s or something) -- we could have pictures in the lobby back in the early days when there was no indoor activity area.
We could go all out with the history of it. And the hillside destination would be how we get that flume ride into the park -- perhaps it's part of this company that the business tycoon owned and utilized to send goods down rivers (akin to the tea train backstory of Everest) some sort of goods and service.
At that rate we might as well change the water park theme into something wildeness themed -- like River Country or something so it doesn't stand out too much
The hotel will blend in well with Frontiertown and Lighthouse Point...just gotta connect it to the water park somehow.

-- Also having 'Steel' Vengeance being added to the park - that would also tie in well with a railroad company could change that whole backstory (or just add to it like Bullion to Big Thunder)
Rough Outline - Thrill Water Flume Ride
Possible Names
- Fraser Fir Falls
- Fern Falls
- Old Granite Mountain
- Smokey Mountain Falls (kinda generic but the baseline name)

I wanted to surprise you with a write-up when you got back from exams but I've had a busy morning haha
Will be able to sit down and write it maybe in 20 min

Add Big Thunder style rockwork to Maverick!!
I know I shouldn't be brainstorming in here, but it's just something I'd really, really like to see.
Haha having to manage a pipe and plumber this morning - fun times.
Hopefully will be back soon.

Maybe we could base it off of wildlife or old Native American Tribes.
We could do a Deer or a Bever theme? Or even Raccoon. Those are pretty common in the Ohio area.

Yep that's happening.
I agree. Plus, it's one of the oldest areas in the park - Time for a refurb.

There was an Eerie Native American tribe - pretty interesting.
There were the Eerie tribes, the Ottawa tribes, and the Wyandott Tribes in the area. - Those could be good names for lodges.
Disney's Wyandott Lodge Resort.
If we're talking Tall Tales - Johnny Appleseed is prominent as well.
