Congrats to everyone for making this community a very active and growing community. @wolfpaw you quickly made it with the closure of SGW and I along with everyone here would like to say thank you for your efforts that have turned into something awesome! Keep the thrills coming everyone!

Would you be shocked that I used to put Mission Space in old versions of my Disney kingdom parks when I was a kid? Now I just have a much larger and better building. Thank you! You too!

Thank you! Also thank you for the years of hyping up the RCT3 Epcot. Very excited to keep this project going with some huge plans.

I might test some out. The old Main Street had maybe one or two. I have the same dilemma, I can also use crowd control as an excuse 🤔.

I think you guys made the voting pretty difficult to choose! Very impressive creations and you guys thought outside of the box.

Happy Monday everyone! Today I walked through Main Street and decided to get my camera out to do a brief update. Much of the park is under heavy development, but most of Main Street is complete. Some sections of the hub still need fencing and finishing touches. As always, the entrance looks ready for guests. This project has had roughly the same version of the entrance since its beginning in 2017. Once your magic band is scanned, the magic begins with multiple themed lands and many experiences. This quote is true for the Disney kingdom parks and this one is no exception. In this version of the project, Main Street is much much larger! I am still finding traces of the old Main Street and hub. There are thoughts of bringing back the Main Street Theater at some point to continue featuring Mickey And The Magician, but the location has not been decided. Very little has changed with the mock-train station. Lots of different buildings have been added to this version of Main Street. The refurbishment of Main Street is heavily inspired by Disneyland Park at Disneyland Resort Paris and Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. The refurbishment also brought the trolley tracks for potential entertainment offerings and other enhancements that contribute to the energy guests will see as soon as they walk into the park. As always, you look down Main Street and see Cinderella Castle off in the distance. Looking back as you reach the hub, the scale of this version of Main Street makes the previous seem like nothing. Reaching Cinderella Castle, the other lands welcome guests, but they are under development as new ideas are coming and going. ANNOUNCEMENT: This project has been nominated for the first ever Park Crafters Awards! The nomination is for the People's Choice Award. The sister park Disney's Hollywood Studios has been nominated for the People's Choice and Best Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Project awards! I started Disneyland Park in 2017 and quickly jumped on to Disney's Hollywood Studios. Both came after the success of World Of Discovery and all three projects have seen so many changes in the years since. Disneyland Park is being redeveloped to include many creations by members here at ParkCrafters, much have been wishlist items for years! I am very excited for the awards this week and I am ready to share more of what I have been plotting. This project is a fun one and has adapted to what Walt Disney Imagineering has been working on and shares to the general public, so this is definitely a tribute to their work that has inspired myself and many of us here. Thank you all for the support, and I look forward to Thursday. The "unofficial" awards party for my projects is at World Of Discovery, but don't think Disneyland Park and Hollywood Studios are not prepping 😉

Happy Monday everyone! May is flying by, and we got some big events coming up for World Of Discovery. This Friday, May 24th is the opening of our newest resort, the Innovations Resort! This opening will be the catalyst for more developments that are being thought up as this will begin the transition into the Discover Parks and Resorts franchise. There are some big plans for the upcoming years that are already being cooked up and I am excited to reveal them later this year for the 20th anniversary of RCT3! The next BIG event is the ParkCrafters Awards! This event takes place on May 30th, and I am sure many of you are aware that this coincides with the 1-year anniversary of this community. The staff worked hard to go through all projects that met certain requirements and I am super excited to say that World Of Discovery has been nominated for 3 awards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This project was nominated for the following categories: People's Choice Award Park Of The Year Award Best Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Project Award I will say this is a huge honor as this is the first time I have gotten nominated for any awards within the theme park gaming community. This project I started in 2016 as a freshman in college with it including many concepts that I dreamed up years prior. I was a lurker at the time, hoarding custom content and using in-game trees, no path covers, curveless paths, and other things I would cringe at these days. The project was first posted on ShyGuysWorld and on TheCreatorsLounge and was almost an Epcot clone on a low budget. It then quickly evolved when @wolfpaw and@StickyGum32 got involved after my many many requests. Sorry not sorry 😉, but I also want to thank @Kablary and @Wilhelm1407 for being part of the staff that put this project in these categories as well. I hated nominating myself, but we all had to do it because boss told us to 😜. It is going to be a fun event and I am looking forward to seeing as many members participate in the awards. But most of all, thank you for the opportunity to be nominated for this project (and my two Disney parks), this was the first project I have publicly shared and the first one I moved to this community. Back to World Of Discovery, for the awards we have a pretty good agenda to celebrate the big occasion. The park will be streaming the awards using the barges in the World Exposition Lagoon. Event guests are encouraged to reserve rooms at the Innovations Resort as a fair number of rooms are being set for the event. Guests will receive complimentary admission, food & beverages, and admission to the awards until the end of the afterparty. May 30 Schedule: Park hours: 9 AM - 4 PM Event guests can check in starting at 3 PM. Social gathering 6 PM - 7:45 PM Awards begin at 8 PM. Afterparty begins at the conclusion of the awards and lasts until midnight. Discover showing at 11 PM.

You just keep pushing limits. I am super excited to see what else you have cooking up because wow!

Like all other Disney parks, Disneyland Park at Disneyland Resort Dubai comes to life at night.

2 weeks until the Innovations Resort opens to guests! Add this to the exciting lineup of celebrations coming up at World Of Discovery.

@FrancesCoaster is just that good with finding supplies.

Some would say that it is the wildest ride in the wilderness... Looks amazing!

The big month is here! Decorations are starting to appear as we celebrate the 1 year anniversary of ParkCrafters! We also open our brand-new Innovations Resort this month just in time for the ParkCrafters Awards on May 30th. It is a very exciting time to be here at World Of Discovery and we hope to see you soon!

How about a teaser of the delivered trains?

Looking at member responses, I may have to use a virtual queue 🤣

Good luck to all, I look forward to seeing these creations!

I love this! A perfect way to represent those on the spectrum as well as celebrate the art of making these massive shows and creations.

I mean last night's soundtrack release might help the tacos become less of an eyesore. We do have big events coming! Plus the goal was the ring to be centered unlike other parks...

Oh come on! We need some realistic timelines 😅

USERS PREPARE TO BE DIGITIZED INTO THE WORLD OF TRON From one of our top contributors to the custom attractions world, @FrancesCoaster and I have been coordinating with this request I have beat him down for 😄. I am probably the reason for the halt in requests and I am super grateful for the quickness in making requests a reality. This one is a fun one and updates have been one right after another. Might pester him to come up with a fictional company for all of these attractions. His efforts have been phenomenal, and this is an attraction I am super excited to add to a pretty extensive line-up. 2024 is a huge year for ParkCrafters and RCT3 and this is something that will be a massive addition for the big occasions. This could not wait for D23 season because it is just too good! Thank you again @FrancesCoaster for your continued support and keep pushing limits for the RCT3 world.

Looking forward to seeing more of this.

I like it. A real clean park, curious what your future lineup will be.

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.

Possibly a great gathering perhaps...
