I still can't believe the voice of Mickey is the guy with the boom mic in The Office.
Chris Diamantopoulos who voiced Darkwing Duck in DuckTales 2017 and Mickey Mouse in the Paul Rudish Mickey Mouse animated shorts provides the voice of Mickey Mouse in Once Upon a Studio.

A little trip to Gilroy Gardens, a GARLIC theme park!
This park is LOVELY, with some really adorably themed flat rides and a monorail that glides through a greenhouse. 10/10 no notes.

It took me 30 years of going on the Haunted Mansion for it to click that you don’t see the ghosts in the mansion until you see Madame Leota and she recites her incantation to give you the ability to see the ghosts. 🤯

Dropped in for evening at the Biltmore Hotel, one of the more notorious haunted hotels in LA. The hotel, especially the lobby, took design cues for the art direction for the Tower of Terror at Disneys’s Hollywood Studios.

Isn’t the whole point that you don’t see any ghosts until you pass Leotas incantation?
Disney says The Hatbox Ghost "will appear to guests as they pass the Endless Hallway, welcoming himself inside from the swinging wake in the cemetery and grinning at the Doom Buggies as they set off deeper into the mansion."

There is a level of suspending disbelief when you walk into a theme park. As designers we do the best that we can but a massive corporate building on a movie studio lot are out of your control.
This land has so much to look at, the out of land stuff isn’t one of them.

The amount of changes to this system is exhausting. This is what happens when people who run the parks, don’t go to the parks…
NEW: Starting June 8, Disney Genie+ will no longer be offered as a pre-arrival ticket add-on at Walt Disney World for the remainder of 2022 and all of 2023.
After the change, you will only be able to purchase Genie+ through the app on the day of your visit.

A few years back, I worked on developing what would become the Dark Universe and Wizarding World lands. Years later, it has been so fun watching it all come together.
I can’t wait to see what my colleagues at Universal have done and visit the park for the first time.
JUST ANNOUNCED: Five immersive worlds. One amazing theme park. Universal Epic Universe opens 2025 at Universal Orlando Resort.

Oh, the things we had planned for this park…
The concept art we used was from the PLANET OF THE APES area for the 20th Century Fox World theme park in Dubai. The project was canceled and never built.
The park would've also included attractions based on THE SIMPSONS, ALIEN, FUTURAMA, NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, and others.

This is the stuff I want to see the major theme parks do more of. Bringing in outside artists that are masters of their craft to contribute to projects.
We did this on our Meow Wolf Denver project, bringing in over 140 local artists, and it made the product more special.
Disney shared photos of a custom handcrafted weathervane installed at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure overnight. The piece was created through a collaboration with WDI and Blacksmith Darryl Reeves.

“Behind this wall a demon sleeps, an ancient evil held in keep, Poseidon’s power contained the beast, but he too perished when battle ceased.”
Looks like the Chronos will have a quote on its portal like the others in the park. Can’t make out what it’s trying to say tho.

If the demand is high, keep building high capacity attractions.
this Chapek interview in The Hollywood Reporter pulls no punches.
This response is interesting, because he’s right — there isn’t a solution that doesn’t sacrifice one group of guests for another, and pricing + constraints are dictated by one thing that hasn’t let up: demand.
