@gwumbyverse imo its proof that humans can do better than any machine can even try the acting & commitment to the bit by the actor, that caused this sensation that human artists are then also capturing

one of my theme park pet peeves is when f&b shut before park close. Sometimes i wanna grab a snack or a drink before my journey home but they all seem to close... I get it from an operational view, but,,, after my last ride of the day, i want some fresh donuts for the road 😭

My interpretation of nemesis when details were still vague - i think I started drawing this when the eye was first revealed. But I should absolutely finish this off even if it’s not accurate

I mean this in the nicest way for all involved as i imagine it took a lot of work to organise this. Im probably not understanding But if its some sort of press event, for influencers, why tell them information they cant share, surely they want to get hype/attract more customers

I wanted to get involved with theme park community to make friends and find people to go to parks with who 'get it' like I do. As a principle I believe this community should have a foundation on being welcoming, friendly and inclusive to people from all walks of life.
