Architect with a love of theme parks. Posting my personal theme park projects here for fun. Portfolio at https://imagineerlanddesign.wordpress.com/

I shared the site plan for my Universal Studios Hollywood expansion earlier, now we start going land by land. First is the areas outside the park. EXTERIOR PARK AND CITYWALK The only changes happening here are the under construction security hubs and the heavily rumored main gate hotel.

I am excited to share my blue sky expansion concept for Universal Studios Hollywood. My goal was to significantly expand the park while respecting and prioritizing the film making significance of the property. Here's the new proposed site plan. More info below and throughout the week!

This week starts my 5 part project of theme park blue sky expansion plans. Up first: Universal Studios Hollywood! Here's the existing state of the park. First post with the complete park plan on Tuesday, followed by posts about each land through the rest of the week. Hope you follow along!

Might be a new project up at my portfolio already if you want to go look for it... It'll be posted here too in a few days once I finish writing the bluesky post version of the text.

Over the weekend I wrapped up the drawing for my next project. But the real exciting part is that my next project is actually 5 projects. Yes I've been working on FIVE (5!) park plans at once. And they are all existing park expansion plans that I'm super happy with.

Quick informal poll. For the labeling of my park plans, do you like the actual text on the plan (left example) or keynotes and a legend (right example)? I think keynotes look cleaner but I'll admit it makes it more effort to read. What do you prefer?

That Walt figure is so smooth and has some amazingly realistic movements. Looks like a real human if you just don't look at the face too hard. Amazing technology. The face is just like 5% off but I get it, it's a lot of mechanisms that have to fit in there. Can we have one in EPCOT?

Feels like a massively obvious move to put Muppetvision in the sunset showcase theater in a year or two and make a little new Muppet land with RnRC in that corner of the park. Going to very disappointing if it never reappears somewhere.

I've got some Universal Hollywood thoughts from my first time visit. The big takeaways: I love movie making and movie history so I was thrilled to be at such a historic studio park. And also I wish the park had some more non thrill/media attractions that don't cause motion sickness.

Home from an very fun and very tiring 30 hour getaway to Los Angeles for Fan Fest! It was my first time to Universal Hollywood and I have many many thoughts about the park and the event. Very happy though that I impulsively planned a last minute trip for this.

Ok first, Fan Fest is awesome and I hope it keeps going and improving. I was there for BttF mostly but also did Star Trek and DnD. All impressively very high quality, and would love to see a couple more Fan Fest attractions like this added for future years to spread crowds better.

Every time I fly anywhere, I get to see more evidence of how bad Atlanta airport security is. 50 minutes at ATL yesterday, 3 minutes at LAX today. It's shocking how much better every other airport is.
