Welcome to Musicland Park! 🎵🎢 Hey, I'm Oli. I've been creating music professionally for a few years, and now I'm looking to branch out into the world of visitor attractions and themed entertainment. Here's my latest demo reel, created just for that purpose. Hope you enjoy!

Behold, the glorious Wiener Prater Toboggan! Originally Built in 1913, it claims to be oldest wooden slide in the world (though it was totally rebuilt in 1947 and restored again in 2009). Either way, its historic. And genuinely pretty thrilling! Best 3 euros I've ever spent.

It looks like AI has been used for some Scarefest tops this year. “Terror Reborn” and “Don’t smile always” Broadcasting live at: live.themeparkguide.co.uk/?l… #AltonTowers #Scarefest

Even this looks so much better than the shapeless blob that replaced the original shadow effect in the actual ride. The new projection barely reads as a person's silhouette.

They’re really knocking it out of the park. Imagine if all these new effects we’re to prepare a new update cause the piano would make a perfect replacement in the piano room, the painting in Melanie’s boudoir and the manor painting in the ballroom🤔

Wasn't expecting this to blow up. It's nice to see that so many people still care about the pre-2019 update version of Phantom Manor! Come on DLP... you've brought us the moon, you know what to do next🙏

I just realised that DLP's Redhead pirate has the same face as 2006 Melanie Ravenswood. My new headcanon is that she ran away and became a pirate 👰‍♀️☠️

While T. Fitzgerald diluted PhantomManor’s story to mirror his Haunted Mansion nostalgia, M. Den Dulk is restoring Space Mountain’s original storyline. It’s the right move but a brave choice in creative industries where designers like to leave their mark. Consistency over ego.👏

Now that we know #BringBackTheMoon, Disco Yeti, and Figment outrage works, what are you campaigning for them to bring back next?

If The Haunted Mansion was built 5 years ago it would be called Madame Leota's Spooky Doombuggy Adventure

You know damn well the first 45 minutes of Jenny Nicholson's Starcruiser video had an impact within the company. At the very least, they addressed the naming conventions of new attractions/lands.

Not just a removal of the Star Wars theme, but a return to the original??? THIS IS THE SINGLE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO DLP IN MY LIFETIME 😅

I'd kill for a poorly animated kid's TV show about Phantasialand's Wuze Town lore. Preferably cheap 2000s CG animation ✨️

I smell BS. If the Efteling board sincerely cared about the "the sum of everything (they) do for the natural environment", the first and easiest thing they could do is stop forcing AI into their attractions🙄

This makes me so happy! The movie soundtrack is great n all, but the original BGM perfectly fits the environment. Whoever pushed for this, thank you 🙏

Fans have been asking for YEARS for the return of the original Adventureland BGM. Now that it’s back I have so many questions… Why now? Did DLP listen to the fans or was it just a coincidence? Which executive or Imagineer pushed for that change? Anyways I’m very pleased🏴‍☠️!

Walibi Belgium ✅️ This is how regional parks should be! I had a great first visit this past weekend. Sure, there's a big difference in quality between newer vs older areas, but at the rate they're expanding they're well on their way to becoming a world class park. Bring on RMC!

No one visits theme parks to talk to a glorified chatbot. This technology exists on everyone's phones now, there's nothing interesting or innovative about it. It's tech for the sake of tech. Soulless, environmentally destructive tech 👎

A permanent exhibition would be amazing but it also has lots of potential as a temporary seasonal attraction. There's so much material that could be swapped out each year to keep it interesting, perhaps with a focus on one particular attraction or a period in the park's history.

I can't say enough good things about the new Alton Towers exhibition! Congrats to everyone involved, all the love and hard work that's gone into it really shows. We're lucky to have this, so go check it out! With enough support, hopefully we'll see more of this in the future 🤞

Wasn't expecting to see a new space mission at Efteling before DLP's Space Mountain but I'm here for it.
