As WoS will have Easter Eggs to discover, what if the game could also have Easter Eggs and references related to the Thomas sister TV series TUGS? For anyone unfamiliar with TUGS, it was the sister TV series to Thomas produced by the same producers David Mitton and Robert D. Cardona. After the show ended, many of its models were reused for Thomas, and the character Big Mickey was reintroduced in series 21. As TUGS is currently owned by Sanctuary Records and Robert D. Cardona, it wouldn't be possible for any explicit reference, but just something that only die-hard Thomas / TUGS fan would get. https://ttte.fandom.com/wiki/Tugs Some likely references that were in the Thomas TV series could include ... The Fultan Ferry Big Mickey S.S. Vienna / S.S. Roxstar Lakesider III (who used to be the Star Tug O.J.) Other small easter eggs they could consider is maybe for example near the docks you could find a red with blue and white striped boat funnel with a star on it and next to it a black flag with a white circle on it.
No clue that was even a thing. Depends on how into the weeds the devs get I suppose. Was it on for more than one season? Did many people watch it?
Only lasted a single series due to lack of further funding and lack of interest from US investors, but older Thomas fans still fondly remember the series. That's why they recently did a limited DVD run, and why Big Mickey from TUGS was reintroduced as a character in series 21 of Thomas & Friends.
Of course. We the fans knew who the crane was and where he originated from, but the show didn't officially acknowledge that until series 21.
