I know you’re probably done on the topic but some more weird ones for your radar: - Virtual Magic Kingdom (VMK), a Habbo-inspired (they also helped make it) MMO based on Disneyland, made for its 50th anniversary. It got popular and ended up running for longer than its one year lifespan, getting a lot of content as new movies like High School Musical and POTC were being released. The game was sort of an early adopter of toys to life, with cards you could earn in-park to unlock virtual items. Currently it’s preserved in MyVMK, which has added a lot of OG content over the years but went so far as to recreate the game in a new engine to avoid the Flash shutdown. It also runs on mobile! - Side note, VMK also ended up becoming a plot point in a YA book series released around that time, Kingdom Keepers, where Ridley Pearson (Peter and the Starcatcher) wrote about these kids who were chosen to become holographic ambassadors to Disney World with the rather horrific condition that they live their holograms’ lives while asleep, and anything that happens to said holograms can affect their real bodies. The characters at the park come to life at night, the villains actually kill people, it was VERY much Percy Jackson era. - Ultimate Ride, an interesting footnote for Disney Interactive. It was a Disney-produced rollercoaster sim, but didn’t really go for the Disney branding. Then they released a spin-off, Ultimate Ride: Disney Edition. - Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters Online, a Disneyland online game where you could pilot a Star Command ship and fight opponents. Servers were shut down at some point, iirc there may be a fan revival. - Disney Magical World 1-2, Disney Infinity, and Disney Dreamlight Valley all take some inspiration from the parks but it’s a bit scattered. Epic Mickey as well, obvi! - There is a mobile moneysink called Magic Kingdoms, operated by the folks who later did Dreamlight Valley. One of those live service tycoon games that takes several months and dollars to complete. - The Haunted Mansion game from 2003 was a movie tie-in, but didn’t actually take any elements from the movie. It was just a ride adaptation.
Idk if you know this but there's also another Universal Studios Japan video game for the PS2, only instead it's made by Konami where's the Gamecube game was from Kemco. I didn't know that it existed until I saw a video by Expidition Theme Park that showed both games.
Thanks for playing the Magic Kingdom and Universal Park we created in Minecraft. Indeed the universal map is a nod and wink to the terrible gamecube game hahahaha. I knew that game always had potential and could be made better and thats why we made it that way. I always wanted to be an imagineer when i was young, so actually building an official Universal Studios map from scratch designed by me was a dream come true. And yeah, sorry about the minecrat coaster in the magic kingdom one, we didnt have time to create our own movement for vehicles for that one so it feel a little wonky. We went above and beyond on the Universal one and thats why everything feels much better there.
You talked about theme parks in video games.... now talk about video games in theme/amuesement parks. >:) Here's a few I think may be interesting to touch on, honestly would be a really interesting vidoe -A now defunct amuesement park in Mexico City called Reino Aventura had a few Nintendo 64 themed attractions including a really creepy looking replica of peach's castle that lives in my nightmares. -Sonic Rides at Alton Towers including a coaster and dark ride. -Pac Man stuff in Six Flags Scrapped/Demolished Wreck It Ralph area at Epcot that once played unique Mario Kart music renditions in the area (GameXPlain has a video on it) This was I think before the ties of Nintendo and Disney kinda fell when Nintendo Land + Prob can mention the kingdom hearts presence in the parks. -Nintendo Land of Course + Pokemon/Monster Hunter stuff at Universal Japan -The now semi-defunct Pokemon theme park -Plants vz. Zombies Garden Warfare 3Z Arena at Carowind There's many more from other video game franchises you can find online if you want to cover theme.
Innoventions at EPCOT featured Sonic for a little while. Also, Universal Halloween Horror Nights has featured The Last of Us in Hollywood and Orlando, and Resident Evil in Japan.
I am firmly of the opinion that experiencing a theme park is much more like playing a sandbox video game than it is like watching the movies the rides are usually based on. It's a little baffling that no one has yet come up with a genuine slam-dunk game based on the Disney parks, and also that it took until 2021 for any major theme park to use a video game property in its theming.
I was shocked to see the Minecraft server that me and a couple of friends started way back in high school show up here!! We made ImagineFun (at the time "Imagineering Fun") as a hobby project way back then, and it grew into something so much bigger. I left the project last year, but I'm still so proud of the rides we built in the 5 years I was there! Enough about Minecraft though, I COMPLETELY forgot about the Legoland game. That game is SO FUN!
Fun fact about Tokyo Disney Sea. A lot of it is inspired and connected to an overarching plot or storyline that spans across the Disney parks called the Society of Adventurers and Explorers (S.E.A.). It's most likely why the park is called Sea. It genuinely has a lot of lore that connects some of the rides, restaurants, etc. together. Most notably and the ones I can remember are the Jungle Cruise (and its restaurant), Big Thunder Mountain, and the Mystic Manner (over in the Hong Kong park). Most of the story comes from the ride's queues and stuff hidden in them. It's interesting to look into! I haven't watched the Jungle Cruise movie but I'm guessing they included stuff about it in that.
I really love the Disney theme park games, I’ve been to Tokyo Disneyland and Disneysea about 4 times and I always try to go every year since moving to Japan
i played mcparks as a kid and it was sooo fun being able to actually go to a room in the contemporary like i did that every single time. it’s so cool to see they’ve finally made all the parks and more! back then it was only mk.
one time i went to this local western themes amusement park for my 3rd birthday and a cowboy picked me up and gave me a kiss on the lips. i should've gone to disneysea
Haven't seen it mentioned here yet, but if a Part 3 is ever in the works, Sea of Thieves: A Pirate's Life comes highly recommended. The questline as a whole is inspired by the story of the Pirates of The Caribbean movies, but the missions themselves acutally take a lot of inspiration and content (such as audio) from the ride as well.
Great video man, love this little sub-genre and both of the videos I've watched so far are extremely well produced!!!! Your inclusion of proper subtitling was extremely helpful as well!
I happen to be a part of the everbloom games discord server which is the group that made those 2 bedrock Minecraft games and they are working on fixing the rollercoaster tracks in magic kingdom
9:22 I played 2005's "SeaWorld Adventure Parks Tycoon 2" a few times many years ago and, as a big fan of "Roller Coaster Tycoon 3," I wasn't all that impressed. The game looks nice, but there didn't seem to be many chances for customization. It was mostly about placing pre-built, pre-existing SeaWorld attractions in a SeaWorld park.
The very first games I got with my Nintendo GameCube: Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Mario Sunshine, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and... Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure. What can I say? The allure of exploring a virtual Universal Studios without having to actually go there was just too strong for me to not take an interest in the game at the time.
I actually remember playing Lego land, the whole story is the professor invented a Time Machine, it goes haywire and destroys the park, and has to go back again and covert living Beings into attractions.(that’s kinda dank) Seaworld tycoon is bad like really bad. Allot of the items are premade assets like,(including the rollercoaster) And the only game play comes from the shows I think
If you're looking for even more theme park games there's Efteling Tycoon (Based on the Efteling theme park in Germany) and RollerCoaster Tycoon 1/2 which features recreations of several Six Flags parks and other European parks. Also the Japanese version of the Universal Studios game is different and improved compared to the English one.
Oh yeah also, forgot to mention - the PS2 version of the Universal Studios Japan game is apparently a lot better; it's a totally different game and was only released in Japan.
You played the wrong universal park game. The japan only sequel was better with better park hub to run around in and the mini games had some changes. Granted it's not the best game in the world but blows the american one away.
IF is the best disneyland mc server if ya go for scale and detail MCParks is good but i hate how they say 1.1 scale when the parks walkways are so small no parade can work like that aint 1.1 scale for the rest they both are great mc servers
It's because MCParks is a 12 year old map that gets updated piece by piece. A lot of things aren't that good because they were designed that way when the idea of building parks in MC was a lot more foreign, and then stuff has just been built in those parks to the point where widening a pathway in MK would result in shifting a ton of stuff around in an already otherwise complete park There's been a lot of cool progress in updating stuff across those parks to MC's modern capacity, but it's a ton of work and some stuff is just too far gone to change without starting over
Hey, MCParks owner here! We build 1:1 scale based on the "canonical" scale of Minecraft where one block is one cubic meter. Unfortunately, the player characters don't fit this scale -- they're much bigger (imagine if everyone was 2 meters tall and almost a meter wide)! That's why a lot of spaces feel cramped. If we were starting over today, we definitely wouldn't do a 1:1 scale, instead opting for 1.25:1 or something better scaled to the player characters!
MCParks owner here, thanks for stopping by!
hey! I don’t know anything about Minecraft or the Servers. i was wondering if there is a way to play it on console. Thanks!
@@popcudson4820 Hey! We're only available on Java Edition at the moment!
@@Ryan_Hecht oh ok :)
Honestly, as much as the universal game sucks its still got my heart for having the only genuinely fun jaws game in it
"Fun"
The idea of Poseidon raiding Sea World over their crimes against sea life is so damn poetic.

Man, all of these games would have been absolute *Bangers* in my childhood!
And yes, the two Minecraft-servers are awesome!
The Sea World zoo tycoon game was really fun. Especially the version where you can ride your rides. Spent many an hour playing that game

also I love your vids Ive been a follow for a week now :)
Innoventions at EPCOT featured Sonic for a little while. Also, Universal Halloween Horror Nights has featured The Last of Us in Hollywood and Orlando, and Resident Evil in Japan.
There's a Mass Effect simulator/shooter ride at California's Great America.
Wait, Reino Aventura had Mario rides?! I had no idea, will definitely look some photos up
Funko Fusion is gonna feel like going to Universal worlds like the theme parks but in Funko Pop form

9:36 Something about this game has me feeling for Ecco the Dolphin.
Why does woody woodpecker sound like the boombox from parappa the rapper 💀💀💀
FR
i don't know.
one time i went to this local western themes amusement park for my 3rd birthday and a cowboy picked me up and gave me a kiss on the lips. i should've gone to disneysea
I have been to Tokyo Disney Sea and I can confirm it is the best theme park in the world
Legoland on the computer was the best! I still have the disc but have never played it due to it being for old pc! I loved it so much!
OH GOD NOT SHAMUS ADVENTURE I HAD THAT AS A KID And SUFFERED BC THE KRAKEN GAVE ME NIGHTMARES
This is a real Universal Studios Japan moment, boys.
Haven't seen it mentioned here yet, but if a Part 3 is ever in the works, Sea of Thieves: A Pirate's Life comes highly recommended. The questline as a whole is inspired by the story of the Pirates of The Caribbean movies, but the missions themselves acutally take a lot of inspiration and content (such as audio) from the ride as well.
As a kid I got the Universal game from Gamestop for like $3. I bought it just for the BTTF minigame, so I feel like I got my money's worth.
There was a remake of universal theme parks adventure called wepcome to unicersal studios hapan which is a japan exclusive and its SO GOOD
Great video man, love this little sub-genre and both of the videos I've watched so far are extremely well produced!!!! Your inclusion of proper subtitling was extremely helpful as well!

Yo six flags for the wii was kinda bussin
The art style of Tokyo DisneySea reminds me of the art style of the 2003 Hulk game. Ever played that one?
There is also a Six Flags game called Six Flags Fun Park.
I liked the six flags one and the horroland theme park one
There is also six flags fun park and a belgian themepark plopsaland also got a game called wannagogo
The very first games I got with my Nintendo GameCube:
Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Mario Sunshine, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and... Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure.

And the only game play comes from the shows I think
great video!!!
The Roblox theme park servers would be fun to see you cover
If you're looking for even more theme park games there's Efteling Tycoon (Based on the Efteling theme park in Germany) and RollerCoaster Tycoon 1/2 which features recreations of several Six Flags parks and other European parks.

Efteling is in the Netherlands
Keep talking about theme parks!
Oh yeah also, forgot to mention - the PS2 version of the Universal Studios Japan game is apparently a lot better; it's a totally different game and was only released in Japan.
I still don’t see Disney Coaster Ultimate Ride 😅
You should try the universal studios roblox theme Park game it’s a pretty good recreation of the Orlando park
Can you do Six Flags Fun Park?
God
what about disney magical worlds on the switch, disney dreamlight valley and the 2 most famous epic mickey games.
you should cover those 2 games.
YES mcparks is great
Thanks for playing!

six flags had a terrible wii game that i recommend checking out!

Hey, MCParks owner here! We build 1:1 scale based on the "canonical" scale of Minecraft where one block is one cubic meter.
Unfortunately, the player characters don't fit this scale -- they're much bigger (imagine if everyone was 2 meters tall and almost a meter wide)! That's why a lot of spaces feel cramped.
