TF1 Design

Making a reappearance here to share a new project and plug my new portfolio website. I'm doing a new round of park expansion concepts and started with Universal Hollywood! More rides, new lands, and a bigger park footprint! Read all about it here: imagineerlanddesign.wordpress.com/2025/09/06/112…

Well, that's "The End" of my Build-Out of Disney Adventure World. My reimagining of this park as Disney Story Realms – a timeline of Disney's adaptations of literary worlds drawn from books – is a park I'm really proud of. I hope you've enjoyed the #ParkLoreDAW ride. Load in 4K!

@downthehighway @RGameplayXtreme Ha I remember loving that movie as a kid!

ANIMAL KINGDOM BLUESKY EXPANSION PLAN To wrap up this series of concept plans, I have significantly expanded the park by adding the rest of the continents and doubling the number of attractions. imagineerlanddesign.wordpress.com/2026/01/27/ani…

@BlankSamuel Thanks! I just really wanted to have all the continents, felt weird if I left one out. And for hercules, I was imagining a story about all the mythic creatures and animals in the adventures of hercules, that feels like it could fit in an animal park pretty well.

@tf1design Australia for DAK is interesting choice and love it but Hercules is fascinating but overall I love the park

@Pryorcal1 Thanks! Yeah I was imagining a story about all the mythic creatures and animals involved in the adventures of hercules, that feels like it could fit well in an animal park and represent something thats missing right now.

@tf1design Love the idea of the expanded train! A bit intrigued by the Hercules concept. It does feature a Pegasus and other things. So I'd allow it. Love the Rivers of Light idea with Drones! That's actually cool. Looking over the rest of it later! Just skimmed it. Seems solid so far!

@crazyparkguy Thanks! Yeah I left it since its brand new but definitely open to something else there since it seems to have a very mixed reaction. Bugs worked better but I see why the wanted something new.

I think out of all the really amazing bluesky concepts @tf1design has done for the WDW parks, this is the one that I could get the most behind. Almost every single area im just like… yeah love that. Maybe I’d change the zootopia show in the tree of life 🤣

@RGameplayXtreme Thats a great idea too! Less overlap from festival of the lion king.

@tf1design Love it! Only thing I'd change is replace the Lion King book report ride with a Lion King ride taking place after the film, themed around the circle of life and the food chain

@FP_2020R Plus imagine how nice an indoor and heavily air conditioned are would be in that park!

@tf1design Yk, having a Arctic ride in animal kingdom is not a bad idea at all!

@JAAuerbach That would be great. A bunch of fun animal things they could do from the other movies.

@tf1design Love it! They definitely need a third Pandora ride. Would love to see them expand to include the areas from the 2nd/3rd movies.

HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS BLUESKY EXPANSION PLAN In this concept plan, the park is built out with a couple new lands that add popular IPs while also trying to retain some of the classic studio feel. Also a proposed new name! imagineerlanddesign.wordpress.com/2026/01/20/hol…

@tommyhawkins @AlexMBush @Chorizo010 @BlankSamuel Sorry this is different that what you think it should be, but that doesnt mean it is wrong. There's no reason this wouldnt be able to be a primary high capacity circulation path through the park that improves flow and solves the primary issue I was trying to address.

@tommyhawkins @AlexMBush @Chorizo010 @BlankSamuel Feels disingenuous to claim that I decided to not solve a problem when this is clearly an improvement on the current dead end. This is functionally the exact same solution you quote posted in a response yesterday, just as an indoor land with slightly different access locations.

@Arch_GuineaPig @ThemeParkLore Whoa, very nice art. Love it.

First post on X! I'm Architectural Guinea Pig, an armchair imagineer from the WDWMagic Forums. I wanted to share our latest home-grown 20+ person team project: a redesign of Epic Universe with new IP, all with a @ThemeParkLore style map! Check it out here: docs.google.com/document/d/1lg…

@Arch_GuineaPig And then I presave a couple line weights on the slider that I use for different purposes. Example: I have an even line weight brush that I call "Buildings" and then I have 3 saved weights- building outline is thickest, then building step lines, then roof details is thinnest.

@Arch_GuineaPig I love this question because of how true this was to my experience. After also struggling with that for a while, I made new brushes that are even line weight with no effects on it, no stabilization/taper/pressure sensitivity. I think i used the hard airbrush to start.

@AlexMBush @tommyhawkins @Chorizo010 @BlankSamuel Also literally those two examples were the inspiration that made me realize more could be done with an indoor land. And couldn't Florida do with a couple of those just to address the heat?

@tf1design @tommyhawkins @Chorizo010 @BlankSamuel Hell, I can even see how it'd work in the same vein as that of what Universal Beijing did with Kung Fu Panda--with that kind of a land style intermixed with the visual element of what Thinkwell did with Abu Dhabi. I think this is a matter of limiting what you yourself can think-

@AlexMBush @tommyhawkins @Chorizo010 @BlankSamuel Yep thats it. Imagine a big tunnel opening like at galaxys edge but leading into an indoor toon city street inside a tall showbuilding.

@tommyhawkins @AlexMBush @Chorizo010 @BlankSamuel I'm pretty confused why you say a guest path can't go through a building when it definitely can and does in multiple indoor lands like this around the world. The land creates a second circulation path to reduce the dead end condition on Sunset. Thats clearly an improvement.

@AlexMBush @Chorizo010 @tf1design @BlankSamuel The park has a guest circulation . I asking why they chose to add a second cul de sac instead of fixing a decades old issue. A guest pathway does not go through a building. the only place ive seen that is at DLP Studios park

@SkelliNight Oh I found a screenshot of what I had! Here's the old idea of Monstropolis replacing animation courtyard, joining with Toy Story and a new Pixar entry building to create a Pixar land. Plus toontown up by rockin roller coaster! I think this would have worked great.

@tf1design I’ve been saying if they put Monster’s Inc. where launch bay is, they could’ve combined it with Toy Story Land and expanded it into a bigger Pixar themed area.

@SkelliNight Definitely would have turned into a nice Pixar themed land. Thats basically what I originally did until they announced the real location for Monsters. And then I replaced it with an Incredibles land, and then I replaced that with Toontown once they announced that project!
