Tomorrow night at 10 PM Eastern @spacemt354 and I will be hosting the first Project Recap podcast for this competition, reviewing each and every submission. We will also showcase the updated scores for our Fantasy Draft. (Now that every project is being ranked we can clearly have a "points" system in place.)

Uh, why isn't the video working?
It's a live event that won't go on until this evening, so for now it's jut going to be that picture. But tonight it will go into the video.
Session 2: Operation Rejuvenation
AoI Challenge
AoI, or Aspects of Imagineering, Challenges focus on the little things that make up an attraction or an area, but are still greatly important. These challenges are only 24 hours, but are optional to whether you play or not. There are some restrictions in terms of rules, but the winner will receive an advantage going forward.
Following this session's theme of fixing up the old, your first AoI will focus of adding kinetics to a dull area of WDW.
Kinetics is a term used by WDI, and refers to movement and motion in an area, that gives it life and energy to draw people in or make it exciting. An example of this could be the cars zooming past the entrance at Test Track, jumping water fountains like those found at Epcot, or even just the changing colors of lights.
Kinetic energy is an important aspect of Imagineering, and now your task is to find any area of WDW, whether in a park or elsewhere, that you consider to be rather dull, and bring new energy and lift into it by adding some kinetics. How you do this, well, that is up to you!
Challenge due Thursday, May 7th at 6: 30 PM EST. You have only twenty four hours to complete your proposal. However, you do not have to compete, you can if you want. In addition, you may only post a tradition text based forum post, which means no websites or videos. No more than 10 sentences, however you may use as many pictures as you would like.
The winner will receive an advantage going forward in the competition.
And, don't forgot, the Concept Creation Challenge is still due this Saturday

It was really bad timing and Space and I both ended up being out of commission. I'll keep you guys updated as soon as we figure out an alternate date.

Session 2 Aspects of Imagineering Challenge - Kinetics
Innoventions Plaza
Above: Innoventions Plaza as it currently appears
Since the switch from CommuniCore to Innoventions, Epcot's central plaza has been in much need of an update. In order to accomplish this, my proposal will restore the original green sections around the Innoventions buildings, with flowing streams and small rocky waterfalls adding motion beneath the swaying of the tall trees, which also provide much needed shade to the area. Vibrant flowers along the grassy banks of the water add colour to the area, while the reflections of Spaceship Earth and Innoventions add even more life and visual interest to the plaza.
Above: CommuniCore Plaza
In addition to the addition of more green areas, the stage on the Fountain of Nations will be removed, clearing the way for a full renovation of the fountain, and resulting in a new show, featuring spectacular new water effects.
Above: Illustration of the new Innoventions Plaza
However, CommuniCore, and Future World as a whole, was built for more than this. This project would also see the installation of the long planned Future World PeopleMover system, adding yet another kinetic feature to the Plaza, alongside the monorail. Starting in Earth Station, the PeopleMover would work its way clockwise through the Innoventions buildings, then onto Future World West, starting with a hydrolator trip into the Living Seas, a stop in The Land pavilion's lobby, and then passing through Imagination's glass pyramids. After crossing the entryway to World Showcase, it would pass through Test Track, then make a stop at Mission:SPACE, before continuing though the Universe of Energy and returning to Earth Station.

Hey everyone,
Apologies about the show last night. Both Tiki and myself had some stuff come up and we weren't able to find replacements to do the show.
With that said, next week we will combine both challenges and do a Session 1 and 2 recap show, so stay tuned for that! Thanks again for your patience

AoI Challenge
That's right folks come aboard the one the only Hollywood Trolleys! Daily the Hollywood Trolleys will take guests up Sunset Boulevard and down as well as going up and down on Hollywood Boulevard. The Trolleys will have three stops.
Near the Chinese Theater at the Cinema Stop.
Near the Crossroads of the World at the Hollywood Boulevard Stop.
And near the Hollywood Tower Hotel at the Sunset Boulevard stop.
Now here's the journey guests will have on the Hollywood Trolleys.
The Hollywood Trolleys not only brings kinetic energy and new sounds to Disney's Hollywood Studios, but it also brings a brand new attraction to a park that really needs it.

Aol Challenge
Here at Disney's Hollywood Studios, a massive renovation/expansion is taking place but there's still one part of the park that lacks something... anything.
The Streets of America lacks kinetic energy, it's really just a bunch of pavement, backdrops and facades taking up a huge portion of the park. In order to add kinetic energy into this area, this area'll be getting a facelift!
First, every facade in the area will be refreshed and repainted (and aged), to give the Streets of America a livelier, but lived in feel.
Live street performances and streetmosphere characters such as live music or a NYC inspired clown show that focusses on guest volunteers will be added, that will entertain guests, give them something to do (other than experience a stage show or a thrilling attraction) and add to the authenticity and energy of the land. All of these shows will be performed multiple times per day.
In addition, interactive elements will be introduced in the area in the windows, shrubbery (including new landscaping that will added much needed green to the area) and buildings and will feature different sound effects taken from the actual street of New York City/San Francisco.
Also, different food carts similar to those found in New York City will be located along the street, selling delicacies that would be found on the real streets of the city.
When the day turns into night, the Streets of America will change with projection and lighting effects on the massive New York City and San Francisco backdrops to make it come alive and addition nighttime street performances that will add a nighttime character that the day can't provide.
With all of these new additions, day and night guests of Disney's Hollywood Studios will be sure to check out this lively and happening area of the park, adding to their magical Disney day!

Session 2: Operation Rejuvenation
AOI Challenge #1.
For this AOI challenge we were asked to take a rather boring section of one of the Theme Parks and give it some more kinetic energy, to help it come to life. Well this was an easy solution for me because it lets me help out one of my favorite parts to any park, due do it holding one of my favorite attractions!....yup...we're going to DINOLAND!!AOI Challenge #1.
The trail will stay the same however the enhanced elements will just pull the whole idea a step further. Bringing live dinosaurs into the mix will make for a great show.
Using Dinosaurs very similar to the ones in the "Walking with Dinosaurs" show it will give guests something to really truly see and visualize as a living and breathing cretaceous forest.
The trail will start off simple with added water elements such as streams and waterfalls throughout. Guests can hear the sounds of live dinosaurs in the distance. The first dinosaur you encounter are some small Heard of Homalocephale. (these will be permanent AA's)
Moving on down the trail you witness some Pachyrhinosaurus and some Corythosaurus grazing. (these dinosaurs will be permanent AA's)
.jpg)
As you get towards the back of the trail (new area added where backstage use to be), a stage will be hidden up higher through the forest. Viewers will not be able to see the stage with the use of forced perspective. Large Dinosaurs like Baryonyx, and the Wuerhosaurus will come out and have a mini battle so to speak, every so often. This will give a short glimpse to guests on how dinosaurs interacted with one another. The bigger dinosaurs need the stage so that they can come out and move around with ease like they do in the show, without it it wouldn't give the same effect. (These dinosaurs will not be permanent, but part of a larger selection of dinosaurs, that can swapped and changed depending on what day it is, giving guests the chance to see more than one dinosaur at the climax of the trail)
As guests return back from there journey, they encounter one last dinosaur and that is the Iguanodon, that has come back with travelers. he will be sitting in the water playing, much like he use to on the Discovery River boats. (the Iguanodon will be a permanent AA)
Well thats my plan on how to make this boring area a little less boring! Hope you like it.....oh and if you didn't already realize....I LOVE Dinosaurs!

AoI Challenge Reviews
@MCParradox:
Great idea with doing the project with Communicore! You took it to a new level with a much larger renovation, props! We especially like the touch of the Peoplemover and the greenery, clever use of having a ride for some of the kinetics! Once again, love the art, awesome to see you take the time in the 24 hours to produce it! I think you technically exceeded the limit with the captions, but we probably won't hold it against you too much because this is a first time thing with the challenge. Overall, great work again!
@tcool:
The location to me is a bit iffy...It's not like you made a bad choice, it's just that there's already a lot of action and life going on in those areas of DHS already. As far as executing the trolley goes, you did great! THAT'S what I want to see at DHS! The only real thing with your project is that we wish you made better use of your sentence allotment and went into more detail and elaborated more, but overall it's definitely something I'd like in that park!
@RMichael21:
You had one of the most interesting locations. As of now, it is probably the best as it is a dull area of the park with promise, but it is likely that it is going to go away soon anyways. In addition, around Christmas time, the Osborne lights really add to the place. Clever ways of integrating kinetics without simply forcing them in. You did it in a very unique way! I like where you were going with the interactive shrubbery and stuff idea, but I really have no idea what you mean Overall, you gave us what we wanted from this project, great work!
@ctxak98:
You did end up submitting the project past the due date. It wasn't too far past where we won't consider yours, you may still win, but just keep that in mind for the future You aren't alone with loving Dinosaurs! Great theme choice, and certainly an area of the park that could use this! However, I don't know if the specific area you chose is popular enough/will be staying much longer. Great use of integrating kinetics into the area with AAs! And the use of pictures gave a nice visual! However, you did slightly go over the sentence limit Overall, really liked where you went with this project!
Great job to all who competed! This is going to be a tough one!

Session 2: Operation Rejuvenation
AoI Challenge Judgements & Reward
Congratulations! Even though only four of you ended up playing, it was a really tough decision to come up with a winner. However, here are our results:
1. @RMichael21- Loved where you went with this, your brilliant use of kinetics earns you the win!
2. @MCParradox- Loved your concept, however it was a tough decision, and we felt that RM's proposal fit a little better
3. @tcool- You had a nice idea that I really liked, but just a little more detail and explanation could have helped. Great job though!
4. @ctxak98- You had an amazing concept, and this is a tough decision, but you given last place simply came down to it being late and going over the limit. Props for competing anyways though!
So, congratulations to @RMichael21 for being our first AoI Challenge winner! Now, the dying question inside of you...what is my reward???
@RMichael21...you have won the advantage of "The Poison Apple"
What does this do, and how do you use it? It's simple.
You can play this advantage up through session 8. It may be played only for Concept Creation challenges.
When you use it, what it does is cast a disadvantage towards another player or team. This disadvantage will give them some sort of obstacle in the challenge that will make staying alive and winning it harder. You can do this to maybe try to knock out a big threat, or as a security net in case you think you could fall this challenge.
To play it, within the first 12 hours of a Concept Creation challenge, simply say, "I would like to give (-enter player or team name here-) the Poison Apple".
That's it! What you choose to do with this power is up to you, but use it wisely
If you have any more questions about usage, just tag me in the discussion.
Contestants, you have almost 24 hours to submit your projects.
Make sure to submit something
