Today is a big day for me, one I’ve been anxiously waiting and working towards in earnest since July.
Today I’m launching the first product of my new business venture, a Disney Parks news app called DIScovery News. The app is what they call in the industry an MVP. Meaning Minimum Viable Product, essentially it’s the bare minimum that you release, so you can start on your product journey and gather feedback so you can rapidly iterate and improve it.
I’m very excited to put my creation out into the world and I’m anxious to see what the reaction will be. I greatly appreciate it if you would give it a download and let me know what you think.
Very cute, and a great tie-in. Between the Magic of Disney Animation and this, it's odd seeing "behind-the-scenes," "moviemaking," "visible film lighting rigs" etc. re-enter Hollywood Studios' visual identity. Maybe enough time has passed to make it retro-cool?
NEW: Disney shared new artwork of Epic Jr. Stunt Spectacular!, a new outdoor playground coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in the next few months. Located near Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!, the playground will feature interactive elements and themed play structures.

Entering our "Theme Park Journalism" era!

Cramming a stylized NYC around the coaster is so far from the aesthetic of the MCU that I feel like this is just as bad as what we got, just for different reasons. Core problem is probably trying to salvage and reuse RNRC, which is just from another era than modern coasters.

TBT to my Build-Out of Epic Universe and how I envisioned using the Dark Universe expansion pad for a Mystery of the Black River skippered boat ride and an interactive family exploration island.

A very different approach than their old way where you announce it exists once it’s basically in technical rehearsal. 🤭
Not convinced that a (presumably, family) coaster is what Dark Universe needed, but maybe it’ll mean Werewolf’s space can be reused later.
It’s been a while, but #LayoutTuesday is back with AQUATOPIA! Tokyo DisneySea’s trackless, LPS-based water ride sent guests driving, reversing, & spinning through an obstacle course of near-miss fountains, whirlpools, and geysers.
You probably know that Aquatopia’s “trick” was that its hoverboats weren’t really boats at all, but self-driving wheeled vehicles riding in a few inches of water. It was a clever illusion and a unique way to use the then-cutting-edge LPS technology.

What an absolute *thrill* to illustrate all 999 happy haunts of the Haunted Mansion’s “swinging wake!” Happy Halloween, everyone - I’ve been *dying* to share this with you all! 👻

Here's a visual look at theme park attendance estimates in 2025. Rankings unchanged from 2024 except for two Disney Parks swapping spots. Only three parks on this list are seeing more visitors today than their 2019 peak and probably not the ones you'd think... 👀
