No lie, it’s been a dream to be included in the TPEI so when I say I’m honoured I’m not lying. Also my post is still doing numbers in the very niche theme park community and I love you guys! I also love my pizza box.

Where and how could Daddy Josh D'Amaro build a fifth gate at Disney World? Can find out below. tommythemed.substack.com/p/a-comprehe...

Universal Studios Great Britain just got planning permission. This country is finally gonna have a proper theme park. On the 2 year anniversary of us dropping the bombshell no less

In shock over Rob Reiner

Ended up writing a follow up instead of an update, you all have about 6-12 hours before what I've written expires and a new big announcement comes along like last time open.substack.com/pub/tommythe...

Also the plans are for a defacto extension of Kirkman road by upgraded Trade show road with bus lane you can partly see that here on my Catchlight Crossings overlay @lentesta.bsky.social

If anyone wants to see the (likely) route for UOR transport project that @lentesta.bsky.social is talking about on this weeks Disney Dish Pod www.google.com/maps/d/viewe...

Happy Thanksgiving to my American theme park family - this year has been worst of my life so the love & support I got really helped. I appreciate you all. ♥️ Also thankful for all the kind words with tommythemed.substack.com it means so much. Anyway, back to a regular Thur in 🇬🇧

The algorithm in The Bad Place is working overtime to find all the morons today

Can finally stop reading about transit and road capacity in Toronto and focus on my main dopamine hit - solving theme park capacity issues.

Do you like theme parks? Do you like logistics? Well, this substack is some grade-a catnip for you.

A theme park article based on concrete data and sound logic? I love it!

Part 1 is out! I had to split it up because it's such a big topic. Good news is Part 2 is already half written open.substack.com/pub/tommythe...

Forgot to post it here in the hood place but after the Permit news of a 150,000 sq foot building the other day just posting this to get everyone hyped for the next article on how to fix Epic Universe

Sparing a thought for @lentesta.bsky.social and whichever regional candy bar sales rep had to earn their yearly bonus by supplying Len with rn ugh candy for Halloween

Europa-Park has quietly redefined the “Disney Difference.” More rides, fewer waits, happier guests—and no billion-dollar IPs required. open.substack.com/pub/tommythe...

Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is 92% deleted if anyone other than me and @bioreconstruct.bsky.social cares 😁

Honestly the marketing for Tron Ares has driven me insane wjat what feels like months, it's never ending. I actively hate this movie now, I get they are desperate for it to succeed. But you know don't cast Jared Leto and maybe I'd check it out...

It's not the length of the ride..... My latest substack about ride capacity open.substack.com/pub/tommythe...

We're close to HRR being 80% deleted now

My first substack - Beyond Big Thunder open.substack.com/pub/tommythe...

Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is 45% deleted the attraction has been closed 21 days, @bioreconstruct.bsky.social has been doing an amazing job tracking this demolition, we believe that large portions near the loop will come out much quicker, will any of it be left in another 3 weeks?

Went back to the original architectural concept art as all the clues were there, and the cartoon map is just dumb. I feel this is a reasonably accurate layout for the land although i i will continue to refine it, "we've lost the cooling effect of the water at Haunted Mansion queue" - Bullshit

I just asked The Good Place the same question, what you putting in the Volcano Bay expansion? It's less spacious than it may first appear I'll explain later when I drop what I've got masterplanned

Not adding a W to the list, there's already enough letters from the back end of the alphabet

Looks like UDX are getting ready to grade some of the other parcels they own. Jury is out on whether it's a hotel or something else. This is not a rumour. Cos apparently I need to say that now

HHN is overrated, and a lot of the culture around it seems to be about being seen rather than the experience

So a few weeks back I posted a thread on Twitter and forgot to post here. Its about the Marvel "E Ticket" at DCA. Earth updated it's maps so I did some analysis 🧵:

I forgot to post the thread on here for Fast & Furious coaster in USF but here's my concept idea of how it could layout with show/maintenance building out back. I'll add my other images another time

So on the new concept Art they have set the whole building back, gives a bigger gap for Rise. They have also made part of the queue external with tarps which is fun in Florida #wdw

A year ago me and Mark met up with @tommyhawkins.bsky.social in Epcot and it was awesome.

Let me know if you want s link to high Res copy. This compression seems worse thant Twitter

Blue sky gets this first. It's not a leak, and it's only mild fan fiction with some boh stuff no one cares about but here's my actual, to scale layout for #UniversalStudiosGB reverse engineered from Artwork. I have thoughts but I'll leave them for now.

This was my prediction in Sept 2022 #epicuniverse

on this day

Let's talk about ride capacity at #EpicUniverse Starting with the lowest numbers, based on Manufacturer numbers:

If I can start a thread or whatever. This is a proposed layout and land ownership map for #UniversalStudiosGB
