Season 18, Final Project: "Hal...It's About Cats..."
Welcome @goofyyukyukyuk17, @JokersWild, and @Outbound to the FINAL trial of the season. This is a prompt so diabolical, it's bound to make even the most stalwart Armchair Imagineers scratch their heads in confusion. For most of the season, the prompt for the final project was to "design a theme park centered around a single IP". As the weeks went on and the Cats project kept coming up but never coming into fruition, we decided to make the decision on the IP for you. For this project, the final three must design an entire theme park entirely around Cats (2019). This means I don't want any cheating, any sublands with the Cats broadway show/the TS Elliot poems etc. NO, SCREW that noise!
This park, from front to back, must be all about the 2019 disaster that we all know and love to hate. As far as realism is concerned, I'm clearly not looking for that in terms of justifying the IP choice. We all know this is a wacko prompt in the first place that would never happen in reality. Instead I want you to focus realism on the actual technology at place and the use of space within the park. I really want to emphasize different themed areas and using the vivid cast of characters to your full advantage.
Team Prospero will remain together to build ONE final project as an additional twist, instead of every one of the final three designing different projects. Team work has had such a profound influence on the game this season we thought it'd be a shame not to drag Team Prospero all the way down to the finish line. Some time either shortly before or after the project is due, we'll be having a LIVE question and answer podcast with the jury. This is the other main component of your final project and by far the more individual one. It will be in this session where YOU will have the chance to argue the merits of your season-long arc and why you deserve the title of So, You Want to be an Imagineer champion. With a final prompt this unpredictable, it should be a WILD race to the finish! Good luck team. This project is due Tuesday, September 4th at 11:59PM Eastern.
