All the proposals are now in for the Theme Park Apprentice Tournament of Champions Las Vegas Challenge. For anyone who's interested in out-of-the-box Imagineering ideas from a different online community, we have:
Shangri-La Vegas - A Himalayan-themed resort
Aurora - Based on winter activities worldwide
Camp Vegas - A high-end summer camp for teens
Carnivale - A redevelopment of Circus Circus
The Terajoule - A sci-fi styled resort
Coming next week: Creating an all-new theme park on the site of an abandoned park!

Out of all the resorts in the challenge, yours would have be my favorite. And by the way, did you draw that map of Shangri?

Yeah, I drew that map. Most other imagery was heavily modified in Photoshop. I'm making an effort to do at least one hand drawn illustration for each proposal - this next proposal I'm creating now should be something special. And thanks for following!

We just loved the building/game creation aspect of DI, all the characters. Gameplay seemed to be taking more steps as well based on what I've seen of all the planned stuff that got axed.
BOOOO don't touch my tot!
I agree. Especially that Disney Infinity 3.0 felt like a true game that was pretty much complete. Shame it didn't go on for longer.

Let me tell you about Disneyland Paris
What I liked: placemaking phenomenal. Castle gorgeous. Mickey and the Magician made me cry three or four times, one of which was during The Lion King segment. And I hate The Lion King. Disney Illuminations is better in person, but I regret waiting an hour so I could have a decent spot. Disney Stars on Parade could ditch the Pixar floats and be a better experience for it but overall great. Starlit Princess Waltz of all things was the best 25th Entertainment to see in person
What I didn't like: Surprise refurb on iasw. The park needed more places to sit down and enjoy the area. Some rides need upgrades. Walt Disney Studios has three saving graces: Disney Studio One for being a cool idea for an entrance, Ratatouille, and Mickey and the Magician. The rest is the ultimate turd of a Disney Park.

And to think you got the back end of Refurb center at DLP. It will be a great park again.. Soon.
So glad you could experience the beauty of Disneyland Parc Paris! But yeah... Walt Disney Studios is literally a parking lot with the Ratatouille mini-land & Studio 1 being the 2 exceptions.
Disney Dreams was epic in person, and seeing the video of Illuminations it doesn't look as good, but like you said you have to experience them in person.
Glad you enjoyed it! What did you think of the epic Frontierland?

Theme Park Apprentice Tournament of Champions II, Week 4: Create an all-new theme park to be built on the site of an abandoned park.
I have posted very early with Monstrous Realms. Located on the old Nara Dreamland site in Japan, the new park concerns mythical monsters from throughout history. Admitting to my thought process, it's an attempt to answer "What if Beastly Kingdom were an entire theme park?"
Week 5, the finale, has me concerned, since it's another whole park, burnout grows near, and I am self-selecting the most difficult option for it. So rather than spend additional time on Monstrous Realms fine-tuning stuff like a park-wide hand-drawn illustration, I'll let my still-ambitious proposal stand for itself. Hope you enjoy!

Phantom. Manor. It's phenomenal. I didn't get the chance to go on BTM sadly.

Agreed, Phantom Manor is excellent! So is BTM, which in Paris is easily the best version of it I've ridden, with greater thrills, an amazing setting, and a raging snowstorm when I rode it. Sadly, I only visited once for 1/2 a day during the peak of their refurbishments, so neither POTC nor Space Mountain were running. Do you get a chance to do those?

POTC is still closed. Space Mountain... I rode it. However, the sound on my train was broken. Why they didn't take it out of commission for a couple hours to fix it, I have no idea. Just an excuse to go again. And the vacation from the group continues because too much prior bad luck on the TGV and homework to get done means non Nice/Monaco/Avignon/Marseilles pour moi
