HorizonParks is proud to announce our merging into the MCAmusement Family. After this process was announced to the HorizonParks and MCAmusement communities, there were mixed emotions and some confusion. This post is to clarify as many questions and concerns as possible, along with sharing all that will be brought in this merging into MCAmusement. If you have any further question that are not answered in this update, please contact the MCAmusement Leadership, or the HorizonParks Leadership.

Q – Why has HorizonParks merged with MCAmusement?
A – The Administrators of HorizonParks and the Leadership of MCAmusement have made an executive decision for HorizonParks to merge into the MCAmusement Family.

• MCAmusement has always been a big amazing community, and the opportunity for HorizonParks to join and help them to form one big community is once in a lifetime.
• HorizonParks has struggled economically and publicity wise, and would have closed permanently if an opportunity like this had not been offered to us. This merge will fix these problems and more problems for both servers.

Q – Is HorizonParks going to continue to work on vintage/retro Disney?
A – While our team is going to assist MCAmusement with their needs, we will still continue to bring the past to life for the present to enjoy. Vintage/Retro theme parks are fascinating, and we see no reason not to continue our legacy and what we are known for in the Minecraft Theme Park Community.

Q – What is the status of your projects, have any projects changed or been cancelled?
A – Once we transfer over to MCAmusement, all ongoing projects will be continued. This includes:                       EPCOT Center 1989, Disneyland 1956, MGM Studios 2001, Magic Kingdom 1976 and DisneyQuest. More projects will be announced in the future.

Q – What is MCAmusement going to bring HorizonParks in this merge?
A – Once HorizonParks has been moved onto the MCAmusement servers, we will be completely renovating our attractions and shows. This includes new audio, ride vehicles, new upgraded animatronics and more. This will improve both of your experiences on HorizonParks and MCAmusement! This will also expand both communities, introduce the West U.S parks and the East U.S parks to each other, and best of all, expand the vintage/retro theme park community to more guests.

Q – What is going to change in the transition over to MCAmusement?
A – While we transfer over to MCAmusement, there will be a bit of changes that will come with it. Our Rules and Regulations will become the MCAmusement Rules and Regulations, which will be the new set of strict rules you must follow while enjoying your time on MCAmusement and HorizonParks. Along with this, some HorizonParksmanagement will be changed due to the retiring of  other former leads and managers. Please keep in mind that Soister will still be in charge of HorizonParks, it’s projects and crucial decisions made for the server and community, but will be working close together with the MCAmusement Leadership as well. Major changes will be happening to our Discord very soon, but it will still be open to all HorizonParks guests to chat with guests and staff, and for announcements posted periodically. MCAmusement uses Mumble, a voice and text chatting software that you can download for free. We will have our own chat room on their Mumble, for players and staff to talk to each other if you have a microphone.

Q – Are you still going to host weekly/monthly Public Meetings for HorizonParks?
A – While MCAmusement does not have public meetings for their community, HorizonParks will continue to host Public Meetings for our community to keep you updated with new announcements, project status and openings, and much more.

Q – What about NGM Entertainment, is he still associated with HorizonParks?
A – Indeed he is. NGM Entertainment is still associated with HorizonParks and will continue to be a part of our community. He will also continue all projects he is working on such as the highly demanded Disneyland 1956.

Q – I donated to HorizonParks, what is going to happen to my rank, and will it transfer to MCAmusement?
A – If you have donated to HorizonParks in the month of July and before, you will be eligible to have your donation rank transferred to MCAmusement. It has not been decided on how they will transfer and what rank you will become on MCAmusement and HorizonParks, but we will keep you updated.

Q – I received my rank during a giveaway, what will happen to my rank?
A – As much as we would love to have you keep your rank, you will not be able to have it transferred over to MCAmusement. If you would like the rank back, you will need to donate to MCAmusement.

Q – Since donations will go through MCAmusement, will donations help both servers or just MCAmusement?
A – Since MCAmusement and HorizonParks are now connected, donations will benefit and help out both communities. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated. Depending on MCAmusement Regulations, some donations will give you perms on MCAmusement and not HorizonParks, or on HorizonParks and not MCAmusement. It all depends on how MCAmusement would like to continue their donation system when adding us to the system.

Q – Who is currently leading HorizonParks?
A – Soister is still the current Founder and Lead of HorizonParks and all of it’s operations. Echound (Matt) is still the Lead Developer and Head Spokesperson for HorizonParks. Yogs is still the Head Technician and Lead of HorizonParks. Jake_F_StateFarm is still a manager for HorizonParks. We are saddened to announce that ImagineerPlanes and kokomo123 have retired from their positions from the HorizonParks community, and we greatly thank them for their commitment and assistance for the past 3-4 years. You will always be remembered in our community, and we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours.

Q – How may I apply for HorizonParks and or MCAmusement?
A – We  no longer accept applications through our system, and that is all now a part of the MCAmusementwebsite. To apply, please visit our Application Page by clicking here, and then click the further link on that page to continue to the application system. If you get accepted, you will have to decide if you would like to have a position on either MCAmusement, or HorizonParks.

Q – I am interested in a partnership with HorizonParks, where can I go?
A – If you are interested and wanting to request a partnership with HorizonParks, you will need to contact either the MCAmusement Leadership or the HorizonParks Leadership.

Q – People have been saying that HorizonParks is “dead” or “ruined”. Is that true?
A – To be truthful, the more people say that HorizonParks is dead, the more it actually becomes dead. HorizonParks is completely alive with our projects and tasks, along with the new magic and adventure lying ahead with MCAmusement. If you continue to say that HorizonParks is “dead” or is “dying”, you are playing a part to actually have HorizonParks “die”. MCAmusement is one of the leading theme park servers in the Minecraft Theme Park Community, and our experience with them have been exceptional. So to answer this question, no, we are not “dead”.

Q – What does MCAmusement have to offer?
A – Obviously, they now have us to offer for Vintage and Retro Disney theme parks recreated on a 1:1 scale. Before and still to this day, MCAmusement offers the best recreation of Disneyland from every trashcan to every attraction. They use model technology to improve your experience when riding an attraction and when walking around a theme park. They are currently in the process of recreating Disney’s California Adventure, which will be opening soon to the public. With HorizonParks added to the team, we are introducing people who either love or do not know much about Walt Disney World to MCAmusement. Along with that, we are inviting people who either love or are interested in learning more about the past, as we recreate our tributes to many WDW parks of tomorrow.
