@JokersWild and I will be going live tonight at 10PM Eastern for a recap of projects two and three (the first project is just too massive to properly cover in podcast form) Link coming soon.
BOOK III REVIEWS
DISNEY VILLAIN BIG TOP
Brainstorming
This team came out of the gate with probably some of the best initial concepts of the entire cast. There were so many strong ideas that it almost seemed like it was hard to choose which one to run with. While some were leaning on the Boardwalk theme, others were skeptical it may be repetitive, so it merged into a Villains area, which then merged with the Circus theme, but others were still skeptical that Villains may be repetitive. All in all, this was a good example of coming to a consensus together as a team and making a sacrifice of personal interest for the greater good. Kudos to @Tegan pilots a chicken as the leader in this situation going with the flow despite perhaps wanting something else herself. As overall, I really liked this Villains Circus concept.
Teamwork
This team was good with communication, stepping up to help each other out when in need. @AceAstro took over and elevated the project towards the end when Tegan got busy, and others stayed in constant communication and strove to do their best even when the chips were down. Kudos to @TheOriginalTiki for toughing it out towards the end of the prompt as well.
The Project
Love the introductory videos. The Stuckmann video was chef's kiss. And Ace's intro video and neon logo set the stage very well for what was to come. Love the aesthetics of this place as well
"Up in the sky, stratus clouds with a neon green hue project on the dome to make the area seem like it is taking place outdoors." A great way of using the dome to your advantage.
I do think I would struggle to understand the map if I didn't already have knowledge of the AdventureDome. One thing that would be good for next time is a bit more description of the map, maybe a piece of concept art to illustrate what we're looking at. Granted it was a time crunch, but if there's time in the future rounds that would be something to elevate the project even further.
Parlor of Chance was a great attraction. I love the ambiance and the kinetics of the attraction. I also think having him be the center of the story so to speak in bringing the villains together was a good touch. Also the map here was very well done.
Oogie Boogie Blast brings the first NBC attraction to Disney Parks and Resorts - so definitively stepping out of the norm there. I do think overall this attraction is very well written. And the jackpot/slots/neon aspect of the attraction fits in not only with the rest of the Dome, but also the Vegas aesthetic as well.
Battle for the Big Top was so well described as a coaster. While I am a visual person and would have loved to have seen some concept art or RCT3 for stylistically how it would look in the Dome, the RMC descriptions were plentiful and I was able to visualize it in my head. The dueling nature, taking two classic literature villains, was a great touch as well to go along with the theme of the season.
Escape from Forbidden Mountain to me had me a bit perplexed. On one hand, I could totally see a random ominous mountain on the LV strip and nobody would think anything of it. On the other hand, this does feel like a lot for such a small footprint. It also reads like a coaster, which is good but I don't see this on the map, and I know it might have been a last minute thing, but I think this area could have been organized a bit better. The description and write up for the attraction are great, and I feel like time played a part in this.
Ursula's Maelstrom and the Attack of Hydra were two good flats to round out the Dome. I think the villains chosen were recognizable enough to stand out.
I must say though the Pink Elephant Mini-Golf was my favorite component of the project. Not only did it fit in with the theme of Las Vegas, the Circus, the Villains, but it was so well crafted that it became the highlight for me. Great job Tiki!
House of Mouse was a nice bookend to the project. While I know the dining aspect was intended to be the highlight, I understand that real life comes first and perhaps got in the way. And honestly, it's going to be so hard to rank these projects as I think in any other round, this would have most likely won on the surface despite the time crunch, but we still have to get to the other projects.
DISNEY'S MOONLIGHT BAZAAR
Brainstorming
This team continued the solid brainstorming efforts of Book II and picked up right where they left off. While not a 50 page brainstorming team, this team seems to have great ideas early on, have a strong lead, and then go for what they feel is best. And even within that, you all continue to toss out ideas for improvement. @D Hulk suggesting a more focused Pan-Asian theme compared to a World Showcase theme, or @Earlie the Pearlie recognizing the value of having the Muppets show be supplemental to something greater. All of these touches come together to develop projects and are needed in order to reach your goals.
Teamwork
As alluded to before, the teamwork on display is exceptional. Despite Disney Dad (my bad btw) having to be Project Manager while preparing and during his trip to CA, others stepped up to fill the void when needed.
The Project
Designing this area more as a permanent Food and Wine Festival and not a theme park was a bold and unexpected choice that I think paid off beautifully. It allowed this project to shine not through attraction write-ups, but through the layout and design of the bazaar. The presentation itself is also immaculate. From the color patterns to the transition between slides, the maps, and visuals, everything flows together so well. I also like how you redesigned the entire Circus Circus complex but kept the attention on the AdventureDome remodel.
Having the complex be 100% small businesses is a bold yet sensible choice. This whole preamble is so well written that it truly encapsulates the world you're trying to create for your guests. As mentioned above, the decision to go with a Pan-Asian theme really did wonders for this project.
The Little Mermaid An Aquatic Spectacular was just that, spectacular. I really did think that this had a layer of love behind it that shined through in the writing. While inspired by the House of Dancing Water, I do wonder if a more Asian focused theme would have been a better fit than The Little Mermaid? Maybe something like Moana? Unless I'm mistaken and The Little Mermaid is Pan-Asian in theme, I thought it was housed in the Atlantic Ocean, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
The Muppets show was funny and well-written yet again. Muppets are always a go to in imagineering and I think this fit well for the location in Las Vegas. Moonlight Tours felt like something classic Las Vegas as well. I'm reminded of the Venetian gondolas going through the hotel's mall, but with much better theming in this case.
The Spirited Away restaurant/ride combo was one of the most intriguing parts of the project. At first I was very skeptical about why it needed to be moving. Similar to the Garden Grill at the Land. And I was also worried about some of the technical aspects. That may be the realism nerd in me which may crop up from time to time, but as you move into the rooms, can you get up to go to the bathroom? What if you go to the bathroom and your party leaves to the next room? If the experience lasts 2 hours, I would assume there would be a cutoff time for reservations, but there's only an hour gap between the end of Breakfast and Dessert for example. I don't want this to take away from the incredibly nuanced approach to the restaurant and I absolutely applaud the effort, I just wish some more consideration was put forth to the technical aspects of how this would work, because as I'm reading this now, this felt like more a blue sky contribution than something that I could see being functional.
Trader Sam's feels like it could be Universal's Margaritaville counter nationwide. I do love the inclusion of the bookshelf of puns, a great touch. The Yeti Hunter's Club and the Royal Dome Lounge were both very unique entries as well. I like the Disco aspect the the Yeti Club and the menu for Royal Dome was very well laid out. All in all, this was a very well themed area. While some aspects fit better than others in my view, it culminated in a very well presented project that was another great entry from Tintirrino.
BAYOU NOIRE
Brainstorming
This was my favorite team to watch, and honestly the most surprising and impressive. Out of all the teams this had what I felt was a mix of old imagineers, new imagineers, and eclectic styles that I really wasn't sure how well they would mesh together. And based on history of styles, I was not anticipating this team having the most amount of brainstorming pages. You all were really giving each other great feedback, hearing each other out, and while you didn't always agree on everything, you always talked it out before coming to a conclusion.
Teamwork
To segue from that, I thought the teamwork was great. While the ending might have been a bit rushed (when isn't it in these games) the progress and teamwork showed throughout the first several days of the project made one cohesive unit of a presentation even if it didn't feel like it. And 84 pages is nuts! (Granted the majority of it was taken up by one attraction)
The Project
Starting out, the Bayou theme I think was a home run. While there are definitely some aspects I liked more than others, I think you were able to fit this all in cohesively into one unit. Starting off with the map and French Quarter, I like how you structured the layout of the new area. Starting with Tiana's Palace, what an incredible write-up! Great visuals with the map and descriptions to make you feel like you are walking through the restaurant. A wonderful start. Ghost Streetcar brings the first of several what initially I considered to be a bit ominous contributions to the project and unsure how they would fit. But I must say given the 'adult' nature of Las Vegas, I think these types of attraction experiences would bring back the classic horror elements that Disney attractions used to have, from Alien Encounter, to The Great Movie Ride, to Countdown to Extinction, and many more, I think the Streetcar sets a vibe that then transitions into many of the other experiences.
The Jazz bar was a nice entry. It's fitting for French Quarter, not much else to say about it other than its inclusion would be noticeably absent if it wasn't there. The Beignets store was another nice complimentary piece. Even something as simple as a meet and greet with classic Disney characters was given a 'vibe check' - that's what to me makes this project stand out. Even the basic imagineering elements have an overarching layer of the theme for the area as a whole. Jean Lafitte and the Search for the Weird were two nice complimentary pieces to the area, and I think for an area as small as the AdventureDome, these types of elements bring about a sort of kinetic energy to the area.
Okay, Rougarou Run as a dark ride hybrid attraction. This ride is...dark. It's scary, the photos are even creepy. But I love it. I think this was incredibly bold but it paid off with brilliant diction and descriptions. In the end this could have been very out in left field and perhaps detracted from the project. But if anything, it was probably the highlight for me. Flight of the Fireflies was a nice family coaster that again matched the theme of the area. The animal exhibits also added a sense of nuance to the area, and as always PerGron knows what he is talking about.
The Haunted Mansion and The Naufrage round out the right side of the park. MeowWolf inspired walk-through Haunted Mansion was so amazing. Having done some research into those types of things, that would definitely be a hit experience despite being 4 hours from DL. And it goes without saying, all the streetmosphere and ambiance really added to the natural appeal of this area. From Ghosts of the Deep to the Big Easy Six, I can truly see this area coming alive. All in all, while New Orleans has been done before with Disney, it hasn't been done like this. This concept is refreshing, and reinvents the wheel for niche smaller amusement parks going forward.

BOOK III RESULTS
I can't stress enough how all three of these projects brought their A game and overcame obstacles to post. While MickeyWaffle will be missed, perhaps things happen for a reason as I don't believe anyone deserved to go home last round. With that said, these rankings have less meaning than would otherwise, so please don't get too high or too low, as there's still plenty more to come.

House Tintirrino
I went back and forth on this. The map, presentation, artwork, and overall Pan-Asian theme making this into more of a district than a park, were innovative concepts on so many levels. That said I wish there was a bit more cohesion with some of the shows to go along with the Pan-Asian theme. This was such a close round though and please don't take it to heart as I really had this team in all 3 places at one point in my head, but figured for a round where MickeyWaffle went home, this would be the best spot. Still have incredible starpower on this team and a bright future.

House Akuades
Again went back and forth on this team. While I think many of the aesthetics of Tintirrino outshined this team, I do think the Villain Circus theme, coming together around this idea, sticking with it, and having some standout elements like the Pink Elephant Mini-Golf among others, gave it the edge.

House Heimlichen
Another stellar entry from this team. From the brainstorming, to the cohesive project, and everything else. You all should be proud but at the same time continue to look for areas to improve. One spot for this team would be custom illustrations, the prose is top notch, but I would love to see some branch out in the future and try new things whether it's character art, computer graphics, or anything in-between. That said, congratulations!

The busy streets of Los Angeles fill up with thousands of people every day, each doing their own thing in the world. High above are the hills that gracefully lay in the distance. Protruding from the heights of the dusty green hills are gigantic white letters. It is hard to miss them, and they spell out the word that rings a glamorous bell into people’s ears. Hollywood.
The name carries a lot of history to it, as it was and still is the center of the film industry. Studios produce numerous films, rolling cameras daily on new stories that will one day premiere on the big screen. Elaborate sets come to life in soundstages, and props roll around to get to their final destination. Movie stars hop in and out of their trailers, passing by the younger actors who yearn for the day they can become a renowned name in the town of glimmering stars.
Surrounding the bustling industry that is film, there are the homes of the great talents that everyone knows and loves. These grand mansions home the bulging personalities that the general public looks up to with such might. Various architecture surround the iconic city sign, shining as proof that dreams can come true.

The Team tintirrino project is technically complete. I’m probably the only one awake but since I fcked up the presentation like crazy I am too ashamed to submit. It had to do with accidentally deleting about 15 hours of work (thankfully only mine) and getting it back way after the time Earlie would be still awake to submit. Oh and I forgot to mention that my computer basically died so even if I wanted to submit I wouldn’t be able to either…
So at this point, please note that nothing will be changed from night to morning and we do not have an advantage against other teams in any way. It is completely my fault for this and the team should not have to deal with their very hard work being submitted on time.
(Note again that I CANNOT submit but the work is done and completed.)

Thank you to all teams for the projects! I'll be posting the reviews today. Again, feels like a broken record, but this round feels incredibly close again which is a testament to how much you all seem to be enjoying the game.
This week and some of the comments in the PM saying how much they will miss their teams has given me pause whether to go one more Book before merging to two teams, because the next project is another project that could only take place in the SAU and I'd like to see what everyone can do.
All will be posted today, but for now everyone should relax and enjoy the weekend!
(And to House Tintirrino, I'm aware of the computer issues at the last minute. I'll mention some tips in the review, but won't hold it against you in the rankings for 1ish hour late considering it was essentially complete in the PM.)

(And to House Tintirrino, I'm aware of the computer issues at the last minute. I'll mention some tips in the review, but won't hold it against you in the rankings for 1ish hour late considering it was essentially complete in the PM.)

Well, I feel like it’s time for my reviews!
HOUSE TINTIRRINO:
@Architectural Guinea Pig, you did so well with the comic portions of the project and with dealing with technical difficulties that suddenly came about. I’m kind of sad that we don’t have more than 8 comic portions, but since that’s either all you had created or all you had the ability to recover, that’s OK!
@Earlie the Pearlie, those maps are fantastic and your scavenger hunt is equally beautiful! The Captain Haddock restaurant really evokes the character of Captain Haddock.
@Disney Dad 3000, the moon ride is amazing!
@Mr. Sullivan, the King Ottokar’s Sceptre attraction is probably one of the coolest things I’ve read!
@D Hulk, Campfire Caravan is a very beautiful sounding restaurant both atmosphere wise and on the basis of the Romani culture that it is based on.
Calculus Collections really evokes the spirit of Professor Calculus and brings him to life. The streetmosphere shows really give life to the Syldavian streets.
@Imagineer Brandon, the shops in the Klow market are amazing!

In case there’s any doubt that Heimlichen is the best team, let it be known we are winning in what really matters, page count

Simpler times. The Budweiser Zero bit that blew up may be my favorite forgotten contribution I’ve made in this community in all honesty

This convo having more replies than the hype thread is insane. We need to bring back chatting in the hype thread because the hype thread last season was already at like 1k at this time in the comp LOL
