I love how the buildings are timber frame construction, or otherwise rustic, in Rushmore Station. And the flora (and fauna 🦝 ) is in a semi-wild state. Is the Mt. Rushmore sculpture an in-game piece? I immediately recognized Ranger J. Audubon Woodlore and Humphrey the bear outside the Country Bear Jamboree: 🎵 "First you pick it up, put it in the bag. Bump Bump!". 🎶 Funny how that song from the cartoon stays with you after all these years. Hmm, a roaring bonfire next to a huge timber frame structure... what could go wrong? 🔥 Wow! The queue leading to the Jamboree Theater really captures the woodsy lodge look. And of course, the interior of the theater looks great. I like how the Lodge Restaurant has high ceilings and lots of windows to let the forested outside, in. Really nice back-to-nature update. Thanks! (Now I don't have to go for my walk today.)

Ooh! The nighttime shots are even better! They make the flames stand out more. All that red, orange, and yellow really lets you know there's a fire goin' on here! 🔥

[Gasp!] A previously lost Gauguin watercolor! From his Tahitian days. It must be worth millions! $$$ You must have fiddled with a lot of filters to get that particular look.

The night lighting looks nice. Hmm, somehow I overlooked that big bucket-O-water in the plaza up until now. Is it used as part of the ride? Maybe that's where the fire trucks get the water for their fire hoses?

Nice preview! My favorite structure is still the wedge-shaped building with the colorful panels: "guests will travel to the Big Bang in a thrilling adventure among the cosmos". I can't remember what it is exactly. You told me what the attraction was over at SGW, but it's been a minute... or two.

"and Tiana's Palace probably has the best food in the park!" I'm sure frog legs are featured prominently on the menu! 🐸

I agree with Wagi, lots of details to admire here. Looking forward to seeing more! 🎢

Like Pirates of the Caribbean, only outdoors... and it takes place entirely in the bayou... and there's almost no pirates. I love how you captured the look of an actual bayou, with slow-moving/ still water, and the flooded trees and shrubs. I wouldn't worry about the funny-looking green logs; swamps are full of those old fallen, moss-covered trees. And I see from the next few pictures that the logs take on all sorts of shapes and poses; some of them actually appear to be leaping out of the water! But I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. "Fresh zombies for rent". So funny on so many levels. People do tend to look like this when they've been on a tour bus for too long. I love the scene at the end with the guy contemplating diving into the water with the gator, I mean log waiting for him. 🐊 Great looking ride! And great concept!

I like the tables and chairs inside the fire house. I wonder what the firefighters are having for supper tonight? Maybe spaghetti with french bread and a green salad. OT: Wowman, how are you faring with the latest Florida hurricane? If I remember correctly, you're somewhat south of the projected path but still within the outer bands of the storm. (That is, if you're still in Florida?)

Neat idea for a park! My favorite areas are Pompeii; for the volcano, plus, the buildings look Roman-ish; and Tokyo, because... Godzilla! 🐲

A fitting abode for Miss Gulch. Is that from the workshop? It looks like the Addams Family house, or maybe the Munsters house or maybe the Bates Motel. I like seeing all the goods sitting outside Thorpe's Hardware. Do they have to bring all that stuff in at night and put it back out in the morning? Probably not; I'm sure there isn't any crime in this quaint little town.

Wow, you've got a fully realized city here; so much detail! It seems like a huge area in these images but it's probably smaller than I think. I especially like the colorful strings of flags stretching across the street. Is the Voodoo Club/House of Voodoo a working ride? IT OUGHTA BE !!11!!!1! By placing the camera at peeps' eye level you make the shots look very real. Very "you are there". Nice update.

Your dark ride interiors are wonderful! (Including the queues.) The interior lighting especially, is spot on and really captures that 'dark ride' look and feel. And through the strategic placement of characters and billboards, you succeed in telling the story in a plain and simple manner. I especially liked the Heffalumps and Woozles section of the Pooh attraction. And the Pleasure Island scenes from Pinocchio. WE'RE ALL GONNA TURN INTO DONKEYS!!! But it'll be worth it to experience the joys of Pleasure Island.🎡🎢

Now comes the big question, and speculation, of whether PC2 will be compatible with PC1.

First of all, a tour de force achievement in videography- the titles and the editing are excellent! And then the show itself: I loved the opening sequence with the 'call' of the single long-tailed streaks 'answered' by the colorful little sparkles at ground level (sorry, I know very little pyro terminology🫤). I also loved the fountains; how, at times, they opened their arms in a graceful sort of welcoming. I liked how the lasers didn't really call attention to themselves, but supplemented the other elements of the show, at times, acting as an exclamation point. I'll let others describe the pyro elements; I'll just say that I enjoyed seeing them; the colors, the variety of shapes, the diminuendos and crescendos. Thank you, Anon-P.

I like the rolling hills terrain around the Ephesus area. With the green grassy hillsides, the Italian cypress(?) trees, and the temples, It has a Disney "Fantasia" feel to it.

Beautiful image! In some ways, the still shots are better than the show itself. We can study and admire the still images for as long as we want, while the show/video is ever-changing, moment-to-moment. Two different art forms; like comparing a book to a movie. They each have their advantages.

Seems to me they could have kept the Ishtar Gate, and just made it the Eight Wonders. Why were they fixated on having only seven? I can see how making a present-day park based on ancient civilizations would be difficult. The older the civilization is, the less we know about it, and the ruins are few and far between. Sometimes just a partial sentence pressed into a mud tablet or carved onto a rock. One would have to fill in the blanks with speculation... and flat rides.😛

Hmm, Duct Tape didn't occur to me. I was thinking more along the lines of Gorilla Glue. 🦍

Another excellent video, Wilhelm.👍 I've always liked the look and feel of wooden coasters. And all that wooden support adds even more excitement!

Even without the dead bodies, full of holes, this is a decent ride. The setting is the star of the show: The NOLA buildings and architecture, and the countryside outside the city (the gas station dog seems to be taking all the noisy ruckus in stride). It's sort of like a Bonnie & Clyde version of Pirates of the Caribbean; nobody gets killed or hurt in that ride either.

By golly, Main Street Kansas does indeed look a lot like that "other place". I'm sure it's just a coincidence . Please tell me that you have a Gulch Gulpee drink stand! I'm worried that the piano is gonna fall off the edge of the band stand.

It's like a Universal backlot Tram Tour, only with fire hoses! (I think I see the Munsters House) ;-)

Your videos make my jaw drop! (A good thing.)

Wow, seems like you built the whole town! The closest I've been to New Orleans is 30,000 ft.... flying over in a jet. But I like the totally immersive experience you've created here. The town needs to fire its sign painter; "Kewe Warehouse" still hasn't been fixed.😛 Love the old, worn planking on Wharf Street.
