Cowabunga! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutagen Madness --- say that five times fast!
I think you had a great choice in replacing Revenge of the Mummy with this attraction. You're absolutely correct the New York City Thai end would be perfect and would also add a kid-friendly yet also nostalgic addition to Universal Studios in Florida whereas Revenge of the Mummy I'm sure has its fans this will definitely be a showstopper in its own right
I could definitely tell that you're a big fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or at the very least enjoy the property for what it is however I must say is someone who doesn't really know the property I would wish I was a little bit of back story in regards to what the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are because I feel like people who know the property will appreciate this attraction the most.
I really enjoy how the queue walks through the hallway into the bullpen of the Channel 6 reporters. This feels like such a universal queue set up in the best possible sense of the word. everything from the descriptions flows so well and feel so realistic for what a new E-ticket from Universal would look like. as always Dash, the detail you put into your attractions it's fantastic your diction and writing talents really stand out and have throughout the entire competition as you've created some of the best attractions we've seen this entire season. As for the ride system I think the slot car is a great choice I think it's a very unique system that would fit well with a sewer type of traction where things are going in and out of tunnels are going up and down I think that's a great way to showcase the story that you want to tell
I also really appreciate how you took the test track art and made it a little bit of your own I'd really like to see you try new art forms into the future I know it might not be your strong suit but hey it wasn't mine either when I first started and the more you do with the more the better you get and it will only help down the road in the future so I really appreciate you taking the effort to do that the ride layout as well despite its simplicity.
The attraction overall is very well done very well described the scenes flow from one to the other. tip for the future I think the ride layout though should have been in the front because it makes it a lot easier to visualize the scene by scene transitions if the visual is before the descriptions if that makes sense. overall - I think this was a really excellent project there's not really much for me to critique on this one other than the fact that I think this could have used a few extra days. Maybe add a little bit of flair to it I know that's not really your style in the sense that you're a more traditional imagineer where it's a lot of pen and paper type things, however for the finale I think the last few days could have used a bit more customization if that makes sense. And it would have stood out! That's not to say there's not a chance to win is absolutely chance to win, because I can't really find much to critique other than that! I think you did a great job and you've been a wonderful competitor throughout the entire season thank you!
@Tegan pilots a chicken
Iron Heart: First Flight! We'll start with the Chaos-verse - you definitely took the open-endedness of this prompt and used it to your utmost advantage. Creating a whole new universe, were those your own Epcot images updated with new art? Amazing! There was so much love and innovation into the opening act I was hooked immediately. That said when you got to destroying Tomorrowland, I was really concerned you would bite off more than you could chew as the prompt was just an E-ticket, and I was concerned knowing how much you like to write, that you'd go overboard and design an entire land. Fortunately (for you, and for us the readers), that was merely a preamble to the ultimate attraction - Iron Heart.
As it goes without saying, I love the handwritten art. It's just such a personal touch and I've said it throughout the game, but it's appreciated here as well. The set-up for the attraction is well done, that said I'm not sure how I feel about the land itself taking over Tomorrowland as an Iron Man land. I feel the Disneyland purists would be at your door picketing forever if that happened lol. That all said it is the chaos-verse so you can use that as an excuse.
Entrance is very solid, really appreciate the artwork for it. Oh, students too smart for MIT? I do like how the exhibit section of the queue is very interactive, it reminds me of an expanded Test Track design your own vehicle type space. It’s bold to center the entire attraction on Riri, but ultimately I think it makes the project stand on its own two feet more. I was skeptical I admit about an Iron Man area being too...overused, not just in armchair imagineering, but due to the Avengers Campus, and Iron Man attractions around Disney parks. That said, choosing Iron Heart and building the attraction this way lends itself more creative points in my book.
I did find myself laughing at the part where it states the suits are meant for recreation and not armed with any advanced weaponry, except concussive repulsor rays lol. I could imagine the ER being filled with teenagers being hit by Iron Man rays on a daily basis if this became a mainstream offering at Target. The VR element of the ride system is very intriguing. I’ve never been on a ride like that but I’d be eager to try. From the way you describe it, despite having under 1,000 guests per hour capacity, it seems like the queue line will provide enough entertainment for the guests as they wait. Love the ride layout and spliced together soundtrack you have for the ride.
The ride itself sounds like a lot of fun. I like the inclusion of two smaller villains and the fact that Tony Stark himself really isn’t in the ride - it’s a big risk to go this round but I think you made the characters engaging and fun. The only thing I would say is it played out like a stereotypical hero/chase attraction, but I think with the VR glasses, it would be a lot more engaging to the rider. I wish there was some way you could have conveyed that in the write-up itself, or through some form of video, because I think that would have made the experience that much more engaging.
As we continue on into the post-show, I like the Dum-E inclusion as well as the interactive kiosks - so much interactivity! Overall it reads like you had a blast writing this and I’m glad you were able to realize your vision for this chaos-verse!
I think most importantly of all how much this game clearly means to you and how much effort that you put in the entire season as a whole. It has been such a pleasure watching you build friends here most importantly, new level of energy and enthusiasm you bring every single day to this forum. in a way you're basically responsible for the PM Tiara challenge brings fun and levity to the game every single day. I can't wait to see what you do in the future. I'm so glad you are part of this community thank you so much for everything again!
