The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Season 7: Fantasmic Journeys - Hype Thread

[Pi on my Cake]

The Sorcerer's Warmups Results: Friends on the Other Ride Shop

Honorable Mention: Dreamport by @TwilightZone
Possibly my favorite store in a vaccuum. But any project, big or small, needs to fit well into the land it is in. This will be great with a revamped Imagination Pavilion, but would clash with Nigel Channing and the Imagination Institute. Then again, Epcot has never been that concerned with clashing themes and visuals lol

Third Place: Country Bear General Store by @Brer Panther
Small Scale but would fit great in Tomorrowland and help foster more of a fan community around the Country Bears. Any new updates to Frontierland are welcome.

Second Place: Tomorrowland Metro Retro Historical Society by @Tegan pilots a chicken
This is an underutilized building that lacks a sense of identity and just kinda takes up space. This would be a great thematic extension of the displays in the exit of Space Mountain and add some fantastic placemaking to the land.

First Place: Legends of Liberty by @Sharon&Susan
A great transition between Frontier and Fantasy which has always been a bit of a struggle. Plus, it creates a bit of a circus mini-land. And just in general sounds like a fun, clever, and unique theme!​

All right, everybody, here comes the last warmup!

The Sorcerer's Warmups
The Final Countdown

Surprise, surprise, this one comes to us from The Sorcerer's Apprentice: ENDGAME; and this one brings us into the wilds of Disney's Animal Kingdom. Recently, it was speculated that Disney has finally found a way to fix the Yeti on Expedition Everest; utilizing a system that would limit vibrations in an animatronic. Although time will tell if this is true or not, that got us hosts of The Sorcerer's Apprentice thinking. There are so many other attractions -- not just at Disney's Animal Kingdom, but throughout Walt Disney World -- that are need of a fixing. Whether it be the massive stinkers, the mediocre time-wasters, or the ones plagued by animatronic malfunctions, there's a "world" of attractions that need a tune-up! Therefore...

For this prompt, come up with a way to improve any attraction at Walt Disney World.

You know the drill by now: You're allowed only one to two sentences, and you may use only one image. And remember: K.I.S.S. -- Keep It Simple, Silly! Best of luck to you all!​

Universe of Dinosaurs Coaster

Everyone loves indoor coasters...the Magic Kingdom has Space Mountain, Hollywood Studios has Rock n Roller Coaster, EPCOT is getting Guardians of the Galaxy, and now Animal Kingdom will have its own! Primeval Whirl will be placed under a roof with all of its original theming replaced with the audio-animatronic dinosaurs from Universe of Energy and perhaps a hidden Bill Nye and Ellen.

That is exactly what it is. In fact, it's first release was just last week. It's got all the opening day Future World pavilions, plus Horizons, and something extra. I won't get into too much detail but you can find the release party and channel here and the download links and progress over here.

Yeah I’ll be watching this in its entirety.

[Sharon&Susan]

Did you make the image for this? It turned out really good and goes a long way towards helping me picture it!

Yes! Wanted to create something a little special just before the actual competition starts, thank you for the compliments!

@SplashZander -- for all intents and purposes, you're in the game, but unfortunately, it seems we're not able to add you to any private messages. Do you have a setting enabled that prevents you from being added to private messages? If you can fix that, we'll add you to Team Power's brainstorming thread ASAP
