Imagineering Competitions
One Sentence Competition Season 3 - Episode 4

Timeline
September 10th - November 27th

Hosted by yours truly - Episode 4 of the One Sentence Competition continued the newfound tradition of having an overarching theme to the prompts - with this theme having you make a choice every week.

Essentially - every prompt would have a basic outline and requirement but force participates to choose one of 2-3 lands/ place/ ideas to fit these requirements.

@D Hindley would become a back to back to back winner of the One Sentence Competition - gaining 4 gold medals in the competition's duration. Due to the open nature of the competition, some competitors drifted in and out or only competed in one or two challenges, but overall 6 contestants participated throughout the competition.

Final Standings
1 - D Hindley
2 - Spacemt354
3 - kmbmw777
4 - TwilightZone
5 - StevenU
6 - englanddg

Imagineering Competitions
Must Re-Do Disney

Timeline
October 11th -

Hosted by @DisneyForever , this competition focused on re-doing Disney attractions such as the Carousel of Progress and Test Track. The final prompt was to re-do all of the California Adventure park, but instead of it being a competition, all teams came together for one big Open Brainstorming park. This is still being worked on now.

Open Brainstorming Concepts
Disney California Adventure
By @spacemt354

Started by spacemt354, this open brainstorming thread was designed to create Disney California Adventure how we wanted. Changing it slightly, it was decided to “start” this task a few years back so there wasn’t GotG: Mission breakout and Pixar Pier.

Dream Disney Resort
By @MANEATINGWREATH

Back with a second draft, MEW is creating a 1,500-acre dream Disney resort. Being such a large project, updates are still constantly coming in making this a great project to follow along with. Along with the intricate details in the post, MEW has the help of spacemt354 to create the beautiful, and large, map to accompany the park.

Rewriting the DCEU
By @kmbmw777

Disappointed with the direction DC has taken with their IP’s, kmbmw777 has started to rewrite how he’d do it to make it more successful. Having already created TV show seasons and movies, kmbmw77 has created a beautiful, new DCEU.

Making It Work
By @Magic Feather

A different take on open brainstorming, Magic Feather created a thread sharing situations in different Disney parks that are not ideal and from that, people would come up with different solutions on how to fix the problems. I would love to see this come back in 2018!

Disneyland’s New Fantasyland

Considering that New Fantasyland was announced for the Magic Kingdom in WDW in 2009, I thought it would be fun to finally bring it over to Disneyland. While nothing has happened on the thread recently, I hope to start it back up again in 2018!

Somehow we both completely missed that...

And with that -- I'm passing the baton of review to @AceAstro who is going to recap the months of September to December of 2017 on the imagineering forum.

Thank you all for following along on this trip down memory line and stay tuned for more recaps from Ace!

@spacemt354 since it was at the end of August can you edit this post to be about that thread? It would've been right there if not missed!
