Mickey Mouse Park...a new park re-imagined by Wagi
I LOVE the look of Fantasyland! The crooked streets and thatched roofs really sell the fairy tale look and feel. I'm curious about the divider running down the middle of the bridge. I guess people going into Fantasyland would use the right half, while people exiting would use the left? Of course, Brits would do it the other way around. I'll be extra careful to not disturb citytrader from his nap. I like how you've incorporated many Disney characters into the scenes; the Geppetto window is especially nice. It's fun to see Robin Hood as an actual archer, not just as a stand-in to show the scale of the scene. ;-) And I like seeing the Sword in the Stone characters, they're often neglected. "Somebody's conscience is by the front door". Smash that little bugger! (like in the original story.) He ain't good for nuthin' nohow! Pinocchio would have a lot more fun without him, says I. (I'm sure Pinoke would get used to being a donkey... eventually.)

No idea. But Wagi seems awfully sure of himself, so I'll say A: Paris

Animal World
"Paying homage to Atari would be the last thing on my mind." That's what I was thinking too. Which is why I was kinda baffled to see a giant Atari logo. I love the last pic showing the flamingo exhibit.

With Mr. Head's mystical powers, he could be anywhere. Maybe the hearts in Julian's eyes aren't for Wanda... I don't judge. To me, the Tower looks like the Atari "Fugi" logo. Was that intentional? I like the flamingo exhibit; impressive! The plot is getting thicker and thicker.

Well, say what you will about Scooter, but he really has 'wandering' down pat! Did I hear Wanda 'pass wind' when the buzzer sounded as she attempted to go through the check point? That must've been a pretty big flask Wanda found. She took numerous big gulps from it. Shyguy, remember to thank Wanda for making the video for us. (If she isn't passed out.)

I've seen several 'making of' documentaries so I know the first one is C: Tunisia. The second one: I'm torn between 'A' and 'D'. Thinking of the Triangle Factory fire in the early 1900s, where many women lost their lives because they couldn't get out in time, it seems probable that a woman would have invented the fire escape in response to that tragedy. So I'll say D: They were all invented by women.

"do things little kids might not understand like dying or making new baby animals. Even JB might have been scratching his head." Nahhh. Everybody knows that storks deliver baby animals! Just ask Dumbo's mom. Uncle Walt taught us all about that sort of stuff. I really like the first image; beautiful and serene. In the Farmers Market pic, I think "them apples" on the left are extra large beefsteak tomatoes fertilized with lots of manure. While the bushel baskets on the right are filled with highly irradiated, giant red cherries. (Of course, farmer MacDonald uses only organic plutonium, fresh from Plutonium Farms in Hanford, Washington, to irradiate his fruits and vegetables.)

Worlds of Wonder
I was pretty sure that was the soundtrack from King Kong. I think that was the music they played while the natives were dancing around outside the wall, in anticipation of Kong's arrival. And I'm sure you remember that the waterfalls in RCT3 also disappeared if you disturbed the terrain around them. Now I'm wondering if the Gumbies will be playing more of a role here... and if they are all foul-mouthed and evil.👹

Worlds of Wonder
Ha! I rarely watched Gumby episodes back in the day. Now I know why... he's a foul-mouthed little jerk. Although, I do admire his philosophical bent (he does realize that he's a fictional character as well, right?). Is that dramatic music from the OG King Kong? It sounds familiar. The waterfalls look a lot nicer in JWE3.

Trivia Bowl
I've never heard how many siblings Ben Franklin had, so I'll just guess and say B: 5 (I know, I'm going against citytrader's vast wisdom but, he also said "vanilla" was the Tootsie Roll flavor, so...) Hmm, it's either 20 or 60. My frugality wants me to say 20. But I vaguely, sorta, maybe, remember it being D: 60

🎶 Wanda and Julian sittin' in a tree. K-I-S-S...🎵Well, that's what Wanda thinks anyway. So, Mr. White enters the story. Is he gonna be a good guy or a bad guy this time? We'll know soon enough I guess. I love his yellow "keeping my eyes on you" poster. No watermelons, huh? Does that apply to 'personal-size' watermelons too? What if I paint a personal-size watermelon pale yellow and tell them it's a honeydew melon?

Copper Creek
I agree with Wagi, getting some park views mixed with on-ride segments made the unbearable 8 minutes and 36 seconds length of the video almost entertaining. (I'm joking of course. It was still unbearable... Still joking.) The scariest part of Mine 99 was the outward-leaning curve. I can see how that would be a horrific sensation! Good video, thanks.

Tootsie Rolls: Like Xecronius said, A: Orange. I've always thought their main flavor was orange. Volcanoes: I would love if it was "roast marshmallows", but it has to be C: Take selfies with lava. I would assume because, if you're distracted by taking a selfie, the lava could sneak up on you like a rogue wave, or a floating log, at the beach.

Mickey Mouse Park...a new park re-imagined by Wagi
Love those old west buildings. I like how you have a lot of stuff that would eventually end up in Disneyland. Like the Golden Horseshoe, which bears a resemblance to the DIsneyland building. Plus Fort Wilderness and the Friendly Indian Village. What?!? No elephants to stuff annoying kids into? Perhaps a rather large bison would do the trick. And all those tree stumps scattered about on the streets are an accident waiting to happen.
