That twisty, loopy coaster is beckoning to me!

Hmm, not sure about Citytrader's snoring and drool (Snoring and Drool would make a great name for a law firm!). I prefer to hear crickets chirping in these beautiful nighttime shots. But not just any crickets, these are crickets-of-a-different-color! Not sure, but I'm sensing that green is the color here in Emerald City. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Plus a smattering of gold. I'm in love with the giant OZ Wheel; so iconic! I'm definitely gonna try the Chow Down Buffet; who can resist a double-headed dragon! [I'm actually / for real, making a multi-course Chinese dinner tonight.] All these screenshots are great, but my favorites are: The OZ Wheel in center frame; the aerial shot of the Odeon Theatre (Wicked) with a bit of the OZ Wheel in the foreground on the right (very 3D-ish!); the aerial view of the Chow Down Buffet facade; the 3rd-from-the-bottom shot that shows pretty much everything; and the final overview shot which shows the entire Emerald City. Thanks, Wagi.

"Tell me more about this Jaws attraction?" It would be a 'one time only' ride experience. Guests go in but they don't come out. ;-)

A new "Jaws" attraction?

That first image is beautiful. So inviting!

Thanks for the video! Watching you guys enjoy yourselves at WDW brought a smile to my face too.

I love the contrast between the golden light, the deep blue sky, and the silhouettes.

The crowd goes wild! Crowd: "meh." (Joking, of course.) The citizens of Emerald City are fortunate indeed to live amongst such beauty and splendor. I love the 2nd image, showing the winding staircases, rocky hillsides, towering architecture, and landscaping. It's like an M.C. Escher drawing come to life! "Graceful structures serving no known purpose", Their purpose is to provide visual interest and beauty; which they do! "there's a hidden pun". Hmm, beats me. I know, let's ask Professor Marvel! He knows everything! Oh wait... "Marvelous"/"Marvel"... I get it now! The Balloon ride is named after Marvel Comics! How ingenious! I love how you placed the Balloon ride up high to add more excitement and provide a great view of its surroundings. Great looking 'dirigible' structure. And I like the tilted disks on the tall, main towers of the City. Interesting how the futuristic monorail fits right in with this fantasy world. Great update!

I agree with Wagi, that A and B sound silly. I too, am gonna guess D: Dabble, because it looks and sounds a lot like "Google". (Now watch, it'll probably be one of the 'silly' ones.)

Hmm, I did play Oregon Trail once, about twenty years ago. But I don't even remember choosing an occupation at the start. I do remember that my 'son' died along the way. That seems to happen a lot in that game; family members dying along the way, of this, that, or the other thing. Being a grocer sounds like it would be one of the game choices, so I'll say that, A: Grocer. Besides, Wagi said "D", and I just wanna be different.

I see there's a strange-looking 2-legged critter in the habitat on the right. I thought maybe it was a kangaroo but it doesn't have a tail.

^See? I told you I almost always get it wrong. Like I said, all the choices always sound plausible to me. 🙃 (But it's still fun!)

I'm a sucker for a grand double-decker carousel. Took me a few seconds to realize that the rainbow-colored horsies were decoration, not the actual horses. I also love all the green marble (malachite?) everywhere in the Great Hall. And how the centerpiece (with the giant Wizard face) appears to be an elegant pipe organ.

Beautiful photos! Although I'm wondering why the first image (my favorite one) has so much angular distortion in it? Was that deliberate? I like the Mickey-on-top-of-the-world shot. I also like how you got the Moon into that last shot, very apropos of Galaxy's Edge.

^ We'll wait.

Trivia questions: I bought my first camcorder in the late '70s (although I'm not sure it was called a "camcorder" then), so I don't think that's the answer to your first question. I think they had 'mobile' phones in 1982. In order to have a cell phone you need a cell tower, and I'm not sure they had those in '82. In order to have an email you need the internet. So, I'm guessing, B: Internet. Second question: I know the telephone was invented in the late 1800s. And the first White House phone was probably installed a few years after that. So I'll say B: 1898. Of course, when you did a version of your trivia game on Shyguy's World, I almost always got the answers wrong. All the choices seem plausible to me. My hobbies: I've been cooking since i was 4 years old, or thereabouts (I'm 71 now). Like TrimoParks, I play synthesizers, piano, organ... any keyboard instrument (by ear). I got into computer programming in the late 1970s with an Atari 800, and continued in the mid '80s with a Atari 130xe. My avatar (Ricky Rat) is a an 8-bit character I created for a maze game that I made around 1990. I've also dabbled in oil painting, digital photo editing, magic tricks, illustrated books, and a bunch of 'other stuff'.

Oooh! I like the concept of the various cultures' gods battling each other in dueling coasters!

Hmm, looks like someone (outside the Tea Shop) is having fried liver and eggplant (on the dinner plate). Not my favorite things. Or maybe it's a rib eye steak and baked potato; yum! Not sure about the catnip tea. It is in the mint family, so maybe it'd be OK. (I prefer good ol' Lipton.) I think the peeps in the Skycar already know their fate... they're ashen white with fear! Looking at that beautiful compass rose, illuminated in sunlight, I wish RCT3 produced such nice shadows. The Stables look really accurate. Is that some in-game stuff? Workshop items? Or more Wagi Specials? I love how the decorative support beams of the Scalawagons add visual interest to these scenes; like the elevated trains in early New York, or Chicago. "The old seafarer brings his fresh catch to the Emerald City." Cap'n Bill probably brings his not-so-fresh catch to the Witch's Castle. She probably appreciates the pungent lack of freshness. That last shot is truly beautiful and fascinating! I've run out of superlatives to describe this beautiful city of yours, Wagi. (Did that 'other guy' (citytrader) have a hand in building Emerald City?) Thanks, Wagi.

Took me a couple of days to watch the entire video, but I'm glad I did! I love "walking through the park" videos. I think my favorite coaster was Drill Runner. I have a weakness for wooden coasters, and I liked the theming. My favorite area was Retroville, especially at night with all the neon lit up. 👍

I think I would love to get lost in this city, and just wander around for a day or three. Haha, "Pigasus"? Is that one of your creations?

I like that fountain with the cement bird planters.

Those huge jewels that the Dwarfs dug up, just sitting there in those boxes along the Mine Train queue would make some mighty tempting 'free' souvenirs! [JB reaches over and tugs at one of the jewels, but it doesn't budge, "They must've anchored them down somehow... Dang!". Security escorts JB from the park.]

I can't figure out how you made this video! The peeps and rides are moving normally while all the buildings, landscaping and such are popping into view! Must be one of your magician's tricks! 🧙‍♂️

Art Deco overload! I love it! More glimpses of the Emerald City in the Merry Olde Land of Oz.

Okay, so, you know I'm gonna say these screenshots are beautiful, right? Golden Hour photos are the best! That time of day when the sun is dropping below the horizon, but it's still light enough to see the details of things, and the lights are all coming on for the evening. That applies here, and in real-life parks. Love the Shangri-la architecture; a mix of Asian, Indian, and Middle Eastern.
