WotC It's time for a D&D Theme Park

[Clint_L]

All the vendors at the D&D theme park are required to be very quirky and cagey and it has to be a chore to buy anything from them. Otherwise you're not getting the full D&D experience.

Plus, if you are super persuasive they might even lower the price! Though they also reserve the right to refuse to sell anything if you rub them the wrong way.

One of the bigger impediments is acquiring the proper deathtrap permits for the property. The red tape is a nightmare, I'm told.


* To say nothing of the necessary Class A Murderhobo licenses for guests.

I would say the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal would be a much more likely, and profitable, model for a D&D theme park than Evermoore would ever be.

For the full Gygaxian experience, they should all be 9th level assassins too.

Galaxy's Edge as it is now is a decent example of what a D&D park could be like, where every vendor and attendant is actually a character and you got a few surprise interactions you can get if you dive into it, but also fun rides. I could see one of those score-based simulator ride working (for some reasons those 'ride to a screen and shoot at it' experiences are popular?).

The hotel tho...

If Disney couldn't afford them, I'm not sure who could.

There's a difference between 'Disney can't afford it' and 'Disney isn't willing to pay'. Just compare anything between Tokyo Disney Resort and some of Disney's duds (Euro Disney's opening, Disneyland Paris' second gate, Hong Kong Disneyland, California Adventure, Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser...) you can see the difference between a small business going 'No expense spared!' and a bigger one penny pinching.

There's an AR app and every 'NPC' you encounter has a stat block you can discover if you paid for the DM perks that's how you find out.

I like that, just like Galaxy’s Edge. Can I build a Vorpal Sword for $250 too?

ChocoTHAC0 concession stand.

ROFL because that went so well.

I was going to post a link to Jenny's video! Such a park seems like a cool idea, I've been to Potter Land at Universal in Florida, but to keep such an endeavor off the ground seems cost prohibitive.

Who's paying for Fantasy Galaxy's Edge?

I think we should be hoping for "basic carnival, with D&D theming."
