The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Season 7: Fantasmic Journeys [CONCLUDED!]

Let's start with the first thing: I love, love, love, love, love this presentation. Yesterland is such a great website and I think the fact that you leaned into that idea was a super fun idea that really elevates this project from the start. While I do genuinely enjoy this idea and I think your execution was fantastic, I can't help but feel like this is more of an expansion to The Land than an honest to Walt unique pavilion. However, in the end, this is my favorite project. It's not without it's faults but there's something really special here that I can't help but adore between Rocky, the dark ride, and the coaster addition. There's obvious love and care put into each segment of the project and it's evident in each section. Be proud of this one.

1980s
The little history segment at the start adds some nice context to the pavilion and let me just say that brutalist structure for the pavilion is one of the best things I think I've ever seen for an Epcot project. It'd really add to the Future World skyline in a really interesting and unique way. I like the Imagination-style format you used with the massive dark ride as an introduction followed by some hands-on exhibit space. It makes sense for the idea. The dark ride is really cool and I love the cute animal host idea for the movie with Rocky. The exhibit space is also super fun and I can see this being a really popular location because of it.

1990s
FEEEEEENY! FEEEEEEEEEEEENY!
Ok got that out of my system. Storm Rescue seems like a really fun family coaster and I like the new backstory to tie entire the entire pavilion together. It's a change that, while very much in the spirit of Epcot's 90s redos, still has some feeling of timelessness to it. Which leads me to...

Current Day
With the 90s redo, you really didn't need much to update as there's still a very much timeless feeling to the pavilion. I think overall, where this project falls is this segment though. It's a very simple approach but it's one that I think works super well here because, again, the 90s update lends itself so well to being and remaining timeless. However, because it's such a simple update it doesn't have the top to bottom makeover appeal of New Epcot.​

They're going to be up before More Pooh Talk. Probably in the next hour. We had scheduling issues and then we were waiting for a judge who's been MIA, but it's looking like we're going to have to move on without them.

Ok I'm in a rush because I have to strike my room because my family neglected to inform me that we're getting carpet replaced with wood starting tomorrow so we're going a little rapid-fire with this one. More detail in tonight's MPT.

I think this is an interesting concept. A Computer Pavilion makes sense but I think the fact that you put this on the east side of Future World makes a bit of a thematic screw. More of a nitpick than anything but it's just my two cents. Additionally, this pavilion would get outdated in a heartbeat as you proceed through time. The really interesting thing about (especially computer) technology is that it grows exponentially. By that I mean you don't go from 2 to 4 to 6 to 8 to 10, you go 2 to 4 to 8 to 16 and so on and so on. That might not mean much in the beginning, but consider what that means when you go from 32 to 64 to 128. Those are huge leaps happening in an increasingly short amount of time. I think you were onto something with the Wreck-It Ralph makeover. That said, I still feel like this pavilion would need near-constant updates year after year just to remain relevant and current with the progression of technology. It's a super tough sell and while you did sell it, I think the concept in itself despite being super interesting just doesn't work.​

Hey, boys and girls. We're back with some very timely results. As has been the case with most of these stanzas, this was a very close race. No matter the results, you all should be proud of your hard work and contributions. Without further ado, let's reveal these long awaited results.

Spoiler: Third Place

Team Time - While I personally don't agree with this, you guys put in a very solid effort that was unfortunately hampered by concerns over fast-changing technology and plain old stiff competition.

Spoiler: Second Place

Team Space - Again, great job. While you had the theme, there were some issues with the focus of the pavilion and a few thematic inconsistencies that brought it down.

Spoiler: First Place

Team Reality - This was the pavilion that was most accurate all three eras of EPCOT. While there were a few issues, this was the strongest and most well-rounded pavilion of the three. Fantastic job, guys.

More Pooh Talk at 10pm EST. Should be a swell time.

Is it because Tegan comments on everything?

I Am Error
I love how despite us all having opening threads we all chose the Living Seas plot for our pavilion.

T B
She has done Twist in Time amongst other things, but it's something she doesn't bring up due to her old account being a dead name

Tegan pilots a Chicken
Omg thank you guys so much!!!!!

Pi the Disney Guy
Go Tegan!

T B

Game Pavilion!

Monopoly E-Ticket

I Am Error
On Team Time, we were thinking about doing a Video Game Pavilion sponsored by Atari

ThemePark Priest
We considered a Game Pavilion too on Team Space

T B
I think a game pavilion was talked about Space as well

I Am Error
And then have it be sponsored by Sega in the 90's

Pi the Disney Guy
Our Game Pavilion was more sports/board games in the 80s. Then evolving into video games as time went on. But I think we all thought SEGA lol

Tegan pilots a Chicken
When a mom attraction and a dad attraction love each other very much,...

I Am Error
For a hot second I was thinking about putting a Sonic finale on the Wreck It Ralph coaster after deciding on the computer theme.

Pi the Disney Guy
Gringott's make me sick every time because the walls don't bounce with the floor. It is the same effect as laggy VR

ThemePark Priest
Some elevators don’t go up all the way...like at MIT

T B
Gringotts is my fave ride at universal studios

T B
Hagrids is kinda way too overhyped and not the best thing ever, and Forbidden Journey scares the living life outta me

Pi the Disney Guy
Gringotts is just overcomplicated. All it needed to be was underground Thunder Mountain. And yet it has basically nonstop exposition dialogue throughout

Pi the Disney Guy

DID I MISS THEM TALKING ABOUT "THE WORLD ABOVE"?

ThemePark Priest
Did Tiki miss out on the Digital Kingdom stanza?

The Armchair Imagineers
Hahahaha No

I Am Error
Tiki should've read the Digital Frontiers project we did.

I Am Error
There was literally an Atari and Pac-Man dark ride in there. hahaha

T B
Should I feel bad knowing like none of these existed?

Tegan pilots a Chicken
Was that “golf”?

Tegan pilots a Chicken
Hahaha

I Am Error
Atari Golf still hasn't been topped by any animation in anything to this day.

T B
Awesome Planet is fun

Tegan pilots a Chicken
HAHAHAHA EXACTLY

I Am Error
Dinosaurs are cool.

I feel so bad for liking Universe of Energy so much as a kid

Realistically our remains will likely be reused as spray paint.

They did a ton of gnarly things with Mummys.

Appropriate considering the name of this competition.

That’s honestly hilarious

T B
So subtle and not at all forced plug

Pi the Disney Guy
Definitely was going for something along the lines of Dino Institute and Imagination Institute

Pi the Disney Guy
Dino Land is great

Tegan pilots a Chicken
Dino Land is my favorite part of Animal Kingdom even though I know it isn’t supposed to be lol

T B
Dinoland has the best ride in the park

T B
Mad love for Dinosaur

T B
Possibly best ride at the resort

Tegan pilots a Chicken
Hahahaha. The Dinosaur ride is by far my fave in the park

Tegan pilots a Chicken
Dinosaur was a huge inspiration for my Metroid ride

Pi the Disney Guy
If it wasn't for FoP, Dinosaur would be my favorite DAK ride

T B
The ammount of people in my school that say Helllllllllllooooooo Theeeeeerrrrreeeeeee when I post Dinosaur to my story

ThemePark Priest
We’re not going to make it...through all the projects!!

Tegan pilots a Chicken
OMG!!!

ThemePark Priest
You hinted for us to use it. I tried to speak up for the manatees!

T B
PerGron our project had some animals though

Tegan pilots a Chicken
We were totally going for realism with this one. I felt like that plot worked for our having a “natural” pavilion instead of a tech pavilion. If it was tech we would have put it on the other side

Pi the Disney Guy
Yeahhhhh, we had bigger plans early on for changing the theme heading from 90s to now. But things got scaled back leading to the 90s feeling a little scattered. Looking back, I should have changed it

Tegan pilots a Chicken
Oh, yeah, I LOVE the Seas pavilion too!! Haha

ThemePark Priest
Geology rocks!

Tegan pilots a Chicken
DEAR GOD!!!

Tegan pilots a Chicken
Thanks for all the kind words about our project yall!!

There was some theme drift during brainstorming, if you couldn't tell.

T B
And Magic Kingdom had the three animatronic shows in the park next to each other

I Am Error
@T B wasn't the boat ride about growing food?

T B
Tik Room, Country Bears, and Mickey Mouse Revue

Twilight Zone
the weather show was the most interesting part, both the 80s and 90s version

Twilight Zone
it really fit epcot and its history

Twilight Zone
but it is pretty much weather kitchen kaberet haha

The boat ride was but then symbiosis wasn't about food

You're welcome for Vanilla Snowflake

I really appreciated how much Team Space lambasted the later Eisner years in their project

I Am Error
Does Food Rocks still exist in this universe?

T B
Yes Vanilla Snowflake joined the cast though

I Am Error
As a cereal mascot, I assume?

T B
No he's just there to haunt us

T B
Ight I guess I gotta drop out now

Tegan pilots a Chicken
Interchangeably

b-wolf 95
Don't drop out for including Planes

Tegan pilots a Chicken
Omg!! I can’t unsee it now

I Am Error
It's not like there's anything inside the ride that would really become outdated other than the art direction.

Tegan pilots a Chicken
Let’s all remember that all three of the projects were really really good and ultimately it’s gonna be small details that determine placement.

I Am Error
I think Texas Instruments was the more interesting choice. tbh
