Disneyland gets Walt’s Worlds Fair version (1900s-20s-40s-60s) and Disney World gets its Horizons-esque sequel (1960s-80s-2000s-future).28 May 2026 16:03 +0000at://did:plc:r3ef3nl4hfppdbxjpba4zgho/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmwfimytzk22https://bsky.app/profile/parklore.com/post/3mkkmhao3pd24PINNED: Theme park fans!

This original Buzz ride re-used the track layout of If You Had Wings and its aviation-themed successors, cleverly wrapping around Tomorrowland's CircleVision theater! #LayoutTuesday #ParkLoreArt21 Apr 2026 14:03 +0000at://did:plc:r3ef3nl4hfppdbxjpba4zgho/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjz5liwun423https://bsky.app/profile/parklore.com/post/3mjhk6ahv3i2k#LayoutTuesday returns with LABERINTO DEL MINOTAURO at Spain's Terra Mítica. This trackless dark ride opened with the mythology-themed park in 2000. It's a genuine marvel, but it's most unique feature is that some riders don't get to the big finale at all... #ParkLoreArt 🧵14 Apr 2026 14:01 +0000at://did:plc:r3ef3nl4hfppdbxjpba4zgho/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjhk6ahv3i2khttps://bsky.app/profile/parklore.com/post/3mgsjwng7kc2sI'm excited to share that Part I of my Build-Out of Walt Disney Studios Park / Disney Adventure World in Paris is here!

Fantasyland, green? Why not! Tomorrowland, pink? Sure! Adventureland, red-orange? Okay! Main Street, gray!? If you say so!!

I have started a build-out, and I would genuinely love this park. 🥹 Can’t wait to share!29 Nov 2025 05:22 +0000at://did:plc:r3ef3nl4hfppdbxjpba4zgho/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6qns36gbk2phttps://bsky.app/profile/parklore.com/post/3m6mz2uwids2nA thank you from me!27 Nov 2025 18:34 +0000at://did:plc:r3ef3nl4hfppdbxjpba4zgho/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6mz2uwids2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/parklore.com/post/3m5jkrw3jhn2oOne of the first things I drew in the early days of Park Lore were "badges" to commemorate the "Disney Mountains." Just for fun, I thought it would be a good time to refresh and upgrade those rough sketches into more refined sticker designs! I think it's a fun collection! #ParkLoreArt13 Nov 2025 16:15 +0000at://did:plc:r3ef3nl4hfppdbxjpba4zgho/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5jkrw3jhn2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/parklore.com/post/3m5ejuon6rx2cA brand new #LayoutTuesday illustration this week – a peek inside THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS: OFF THE LEASH! If you're still thinking Universal can't deliver in this genre, this ride will prove otherwise. 60+ animatronics, phenomenal gags, so much detail...

The world-building walkthrough TRICERATOPS ENCOUNTER and the high speed VELOCICOASTER both bring guests close to dinosaurs...!
