103. Sotto City | Metropolis Magazine | November 2001 Having spent 13 years designing themepark attractions as a Walt Disney He contacted an old colleague, Chris Cole, a former digital architect at Disney http://www.metropolismag.com/html/content_1101/sot/

What happens when a former Disney Imagineer starts designing restaurants and ballparks? By Peter Hall November 2001 Sotto in the Progress City reception area (above), which is outfitted like the galley of a vintage 747. A 1970s television monitor and swinging cocktail music welcome visitors to the offices of Progress City (below, left), the yearling "convergence design" firm founded by Eddie Sotto and Chris Cole. Progress City Offices, Los Angeles (below, right). Eddie Sotto wants to do for baseball what Disney did for amusement parks. "Baseball has got problems," he says, pacing around the conference room of his new Santa Monicabased company, Progress City. "It's the greatest sport in the world, but kids are going off to faster-moving sports like hockey and football. To kids today, MLB means Major League Boredom." Boredom is to Sotto what bland is to chefs or wet concrete is to schoolboys. It's an opportunity to be imprinted with spice, color, dimensionthe thrill of experience. Having spent 13 years designing theme-park attractions as a Walt Disney imagineer, Sotto understands the mechanics of mass entertainment. And baseball is a prime target for an upgrade. "It's a classic piece of situation designall the seats point in toward the sport. But what do people do? They bring beach balls, they bring everything except their attention spans," he says. "Why? Because there's a scoreboard with the letters RBI on it, and if you don't know what that means, forget it. Baseball, because it's never had competition, expects you to know all the rules before you arrive."

104. Pipestone Minnesota - Let's NOT Have An Amusement Park Put On Sacred Land This site gives details of a planned Native American theme Park in Pipestone We have hired the Architect Firm of Cuhaci Peterson from Orlando FL, http://www.geocities.com/natives2003/park2.html

Pipestone, Minnesota: Sacred Land or Tourist Trap? THE COYOTE TOURIST TRAP A NATIVE AMERICAN THEME PARK - what picture does that phrase bring to your mind? A noisy cowboy and indian 'Disney world' style amusement area? A lot of children exitedly coming to see the indians, war-whooping all the time? Amusement arcades, pretend tipis all around, people dressed up as Native Americans' pretending to be Sitting Bull, Cochise or Geronimo with big fluffy garish bonnets saying 'HOW' to everyone and having their photos taken with the tourists? Lots of rides for the children to go on, loud brash drum music like that played in old Hollywood movies, with pretend buffalo in fields? Or some similar picture? No doubt whatever you picture it is not something that should be in Pipestone. We know that some other people wrote to this group about the idea, because they felt worried about it. Chuck did get a reply and the man said the following: "The concept is not one of a Valley Fair type Theme Park but rather a living cultural center we people can be immersed into the Native American cultural experience. Each area would be done by a given tribe whom wishes to participate. This way each interpretation of the tribe would be done by them so as to not give an improper interpretation of there beliefs. I feel that this is the most important part. I don't want to offend or misrepresent any culture or interpretation of that culture."
