Happy Sunday! It has been a bit since I have visited the park itself and today I quickly went to see what all is going on.
Never gets old. There are big plans this year since ParkCrafters turns 1 this summer and the RCT3 world turns 20! World Of Discovery has big plans for the celebrations that will be shared soon as fireworks testing has been happening most weekends using the existing barges for Discover.
Mandatory entrance photo. Of course, sponsored by the new home for this project. Since the last formal update, there have been some additions to the core of the park. Much of the remaining spaces will be used for attractions and interactive experiences on the right side and the left is still awaiting the completion of the Global Cafe. The Global Cafe is expected to open this summer to coincide with the new resorts coming and those guests who will be partaking in exclusive perks such as breakfast and late night bites. Additions to the core have mostly been small (drink stands, photo centers, and small gift shops) to help spread crowds out from major areas such as the largest gift shop.
This view never gets old. There were rumors that the park would adopt the World Celebration concept of gardens, this has not been fully planned but it has picked up steam. The main difference is that the fountain would remain in the area. Also awaiting on the area music to change as we still use the Innoventions music loop.
The fountain will remain in any and all plans that are made, but surrounding areas may change. It will not be like the wilderness theme that was present around 2017 and 2018 before the park made its major changes. The goal for 2024 is infrastructure related to the new resorts and even pre-planning more for guests. There are at least two projects being considered with one already in the works with the foundations poured.
This summer the two resorts will officially open and this will lead into the new resort area being fully operational. One project is already being laid out for the resort area, so once guests are roaming the resort area it will be hard not to notice what we are planning.
One area in World Exposition however is Egypt. This is a major work in progress as there are many experiences and thrills being considered. Egypt is expected to be one of the most popular areas, much like how it was in the earlier days of the project.
Discover is still the park's nighttime show. The barges are being evaluated in fireworks tests for special entertainment and possibly after hours events coming up. Ideas have came up in board meetings and reviews are mixed, but the barges are effective in housing quite a bit of equipment that can be used for more than just Discover.
World Of Discovery is growing and will continue to grow. Celebrations are being planned and will be put into overdrive pretty soon as crews prepare different decorations and entertainment for the occasions. We are excited to share what is new and what is next for World Of Discovery.
