Most likely tomorrow!
We still have the open brainstorming threads for 2015 (we're not going in order of months this time, just comps, personal projects, then open brainstorming) After this next segment then we will get to 2014 -- probably tomorrow, but I don't want to rush it just to get it out quick. We wanna make sure we do our research and that everything is cataloged correctly for now and future generations

Ancient Empires Theme Park
By @Progress.City
An idea presented by Progress.City was for an Ancient Empires theme park - described by Progress.City as such:
The Mediterranean Sea is the shape of the center lake, with the lands wrapped around it. The layout would be the Roman Empire at its prime. You would time travel as you enter each providence to the appropriate empire matching that providence. For example, you will be in the Roman Empire when you enter Italy, Egypt, the Greek Empire when you enter Macedonia, and Babylon when you enter Mesopotamia.
While in blue sky for now - it could be an interesting topic to bring up again going forward and brainstorm further.

Enchanted Tiki Room
By @orlando678-
As mentioned in the previous entry, sometimes the simplest questions can be the best brainstorming threads. In other cases, sometimes the simplest answer to brainstorming -- is to do nothing! And that is essentially what the consensus was for any modifications to the Enchanted Tiki Room (which still holds up to this day)

Carousel of Projects
By @MonorailRed
Begun as an ambitious plan to post a new project every week, MonorailRed came back to the forums in the Fall of 2015 after a brief hiatus with plans for a Grand Floridian bar as well as a new Disney Springs mall in the Meadowlands near New York City. Sadly those didn't come to fruition, but maybe one day they will. For now all we have are dancing pugs.

The League of Dreamers
By @DisneyManOne
Originally created by @MANEATINGWREATH - the League of Dreamers has been an ever evolving concept on imagineering forums where players participate in several challenges that ultimately lead up to building an entire theme park. The competition has roots that date back to VisionsFantastic as well as wdwmagic as long ago as 2010.
According to records - this League of Dreamers was the first to finish the park they were designing! The players designed a basic Magic Kingdom Park with instructions on what needed to be in each land from DisneyManOne.

Nintendo Revolution
By @MANEATINGWREATH
As a way to bring together Nintendo fans in the spirit of imagineering new concepts, MANEATINGWEATH embarked on a brainstorming thread that gained a decent following based on his initial premise:
"Nintendo in recent years has slowly begun to fall off the radar following the release of the Wii U. As a "90's kid," this disheartens me. To me, Nintendo was the king of video games. To me, it still is, and I know I'm not the only one who believes this. In an alternate universe, Nintendo has approached us lovely folk here on WDWMagic to pioneer its next console. Something unique, innovative, and just as nostalgic as a Nintendo 64. Something HD, but simple. It is our job to figure out a new masterpiece for a new generation. It's time for a revolution."

December 9th, 2013 - March 20th, 2014
Hosted by @Matt7187 and @Zweiland - WEDCAR Race was an imagineering competition where contestants would design their own Disney Resort. As per the challenge requirements
"each challenge will ask you to design a new part of your resort, whether it is a park, a hotel, a specific land in the park, or something else. Some challenges will be very broad, and you should NOT go into much detail (don’t worry, usually in later challenges you will be able to provide the specifics)."
