I’m so serious that I think they should use this as an opportunity to send components of the original back to Anaheim and have two shows. Disneyland gets Walt’s Worlds Fair version (1900s-20s-40s-60s) and Disney World gets its Horizons-esque sequel (1960s-80s-2000s-future).

Here's an updated look at the refreshed BUZZ LIGHTYEAR'S SPACE RANGER SPIN. This original Buzz ride re-used the track layout of If You Had Wings and its aviation-themed successors, cleverly wrapping around Tomorrowland's CircleVision theater! #LayoutTuesday #ParkLoreArt

#LayoutTuesday returns with LABERINTO DEL MINOTAURO at Spain's Terra Mítica. This trackless dark ride opened with the mythology-themed park in 2000. It's a genuine marvel, but it's most unique feature is that some riders don't get to the big finale at all... #ParkLoreArt 🧵

One of my favorite projects I've ever drawn up is THE POKÉMON WORLD: DOMINIO REGION – my concept for converting Toon Lagoon at Universal Islands of Adventure into an Italian-inspired region in the Pokémon World, comprised of Cipresso City, Costa di Spruzzi, and Tempio di Losario. (1/3)

Breaking news for the microcosm of people who care: after starting and abandoning build-outs of Walt Disney Studios Paris multiple times, I found a framing device that has solved it for me. I have started a build-out, and I would genuinely love this park. 🥹 Can’t wait to share!

A big project I've been working on for the last few months is finally complete- a redo of the Magic Kingdom! On their podcast, Tom and Eric conceptualized changes they would make to MK, and I brought it to life through a map and rough concept art. Check the thread for more (and read the alt text)!🧵

One of the first things I drew in the early days of Park Lore were "badges" to commemorate the "Disney Mountains." Just for fun, I thought it would be a good time to refresh and upgrade those rough sketches into more refined sticker designs! I think it's a fun collection! #ParkLoreArt

As someone who lived in (and will always love) Columbus... 😮‍💨 What a terrible message this one franchisee or manager's call sends on behalf of Dollar General (a terrible, predatory vulture of a company who deserves bad press) and Columbus (a really, really nice, progressive place to live and work).

Before Nemo, there was THE LIVING SEAS. Guests would access this pavilion through a complex, multi-phase introduction that included a pre-show film, a "descent" in underwater Hydrolators, and an arrival at SeaBase Alpha via an Omnimover through the ocean. #ParkLoreArt #LayoutTuesday
