And that foundation opens up into worlds of "theme-park-able" ideas – from-scratch "armchair Imagineering," creative concepting, deep dive podcasts, and full Build-Outs that envision what could be if "what if...?" became real. parklore.com/links/

Through #ParkLoreArt, I hope that "all who come to this happy place" can find fresh ways to see the parks – new perspectives! Deep histories! Unexpected contexts! Data viz! Real citations! Those are the "lenses" that change how we see rides, lands, parks, and the industry...!

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

In practice, the "early ending" feature was turned off because... who wants a third of a ride experience? But Laberinto del Minotauro is still a really compelling, impressive dark ride that's stunning in its execution...! Check it out! buff.ly/aPWnhXQ

This is seriously a beautiful ride, with incredible sets and animatronics. But its big innovation was using a trackless dark ride system (before Tokyo's Pooh!) to actually "eject" vehicles that don't score high enough to proceed. Two early exits separate riders from the Minotaur!

#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 🧵

Merci infiniment ! C'est très gentil de votre part de partager mon travail ! (Que pensez-vous de ma traduction ? 😅)

I'm excited to share that Part I of my Build-Out of Walt Disney Studios Park / Disney Adventure World in Paris is here! This first feature chronicles a walk through the first five realms of a reimagined park based not on "movies" or "Disney+", but something bigger. parklore.com/main/buildout-wds

… and now that it's officially closed, you can dig deep into the story of Disney’s Countdown to Extinction in my full, newly-updated Lost Legends feature on the ride’s history and experience – one of hundreds of in-depth ride histories on Park Lore! parklore.com/main/dinosaur

Countdown to Extinction: Inside the Evolution of Animal Kingdom's Time-Traveling DINOSAUR Dark Ride - Park Lore

This is one of over a hundred layouts I’ve drawn as part of Park Lore’s mission to offer new ways to see the parks and rides we know and love. You can compare Dinosaur’s layout to Disneyland’s Indiana Jones Adventure in my HERE & THERE layout collection! parklore.com/main/here-there/

HERE & THERE: Illustrating and Comparing Disney Theme Parks' Ride Layouts From Around the Globe - Park Lore

By now you might’ve noticed that Park Lore is all about seeing theme parks differently. In over a hundred in-depth stories, we’ve covered the tales of Lost Legends, Modern Marvels, Declassified Disast...

The clock has run out, and extinction has arrived. Refreshed to commemorate this Lost Legend, my hand-illustrated inside look at DINOSAUR at Disney’s Animal Kingdom… The real goatasaurus of weird, ambitious, norm-breaking ‘90s Imagineering at its most unhinged & experimental. 🥹

They're on my list! I'm just always in search of better documentation to make sure I get them right. It matters to me that I'm not "guessing" where walls are and such. But I'll keep at it and get to them soon I hope!

Riding on @tf1design.bsky.social’s coattails as he releases his Build-Outs of Disney World’s parks, here’s my Magic Kingdom reimagining from a few years ago! You can walk through every decision and ride at parklore.com/main/buildout-mk!

Oooh, I can definitely do that! I'll let you know when it's up. No pressure to buy, but I'll make it an option! haha.

Park Lore✨ @parklore.com · 29/12/2025

I think that’s intentional. Seems like at full build out, the area is really just terraced gardens around the lake whose entire function is to be a pleasant but neutral space; like Celestial Park, a “world between worlds” that’s sort of airy and abstract and stylish, but neutral.

Park Lore✨ @parklore.com · 29/12/2025

I think that’s it exactly. And similarly it doesn’t amount to much cohesion – Up, and Tangled, and Princesses, and a water show that seems likely to be Disney + Pixar + Marvel + Star Wars. 😅

Park Lore✨ @parklore.com · 29/12/2025

I think you could broadly say, “late 19th century art nouveau pleasure gardens.” It’s certainly giving late 1800s World’s Fair, but they haven’t gone as far as acknowledging that. I plan to in my build out for the park!

Earl will always have a place in my heart from when it was on the west side by Compass Books – always a place I got dinner when I arrived the night before a park day. And then it saved my ass at Disneyland Paris where it was the only thing to eat. 😂 So I've enjoyed its 10 forms at DLR

This land is just one part of my complete build-out of Islands of Adventure – a project I absolutely love because I really believe that I preserved the park's foundation in timeless, literary, intergenerational worlds. It's a great read to settle in with this winter! parklore.com/main/buildout-ioa/

Islands of Adventure: A Blue Sky, Armchair Imagineered Build-Out of Universal Orlando's Storied Second Gate - Park Lore

When I started Park Lore, I really hoped that this site would become the place on the Internet to read in-depth (but accessible!) theme park and ride histories; a sort of deep dive library where you…

Guests can battle & catch wild Pokémon in four wild zones around Dominio, healing and evolving at Pokémon Centers and challenging friends, family, and other visitors in augmented reality Battle Pods. The raft ride becomes the interactive Pokémon Snap Splash Safari, and we get an E-Ticket dark ride!

One of the land's attractions is an interactive Pokémon Gym show, wherein viewers can help either the trainer or the Gym Leader make choices – a real-time special-effects show with live actors, puppets, and animatronics with multiple combinations.

In Cipresso City's Pokémon Lab, visitors can get oriented to the land's mechanics, then (either via Universal Play app, or a physical Pokéball for purchase) select one of the land's three started who I love like children: Pompeiiano, Aquilonico, and Lontralier.

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)

Yes, the route really should've been reversed! The "London" scene from Reign of Fire would've been a fine intro. Literally one flamethrower. And then Catastrophe Canyon is fire, water, motion, etc.
