==Trivia== [[File:Blizzard World Ticket.jpg|thumb|Blizzard World ticket]] *The logo may be representative of a [https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Murloc murloc] from ''World of Warcraft''. *The map is an in-universe representation of [[Blizzard Entertainment]]'s IPs. The concept can be seen as a parody/homage of Disneyland and other similar theme parks. **The park has been referred to as "the most epic place on Earth."<ref name = "Season2News">2022-11-29, [https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23878812/ What to expect for Season 2: Ramattra, Shambali Monastery, and the Battle for Olympus]. ''Blizzard Entertainment'', accessed on 2022-11-29</ref> This possibly references the Disneyland tagline, "the happiest place on Earth." *Near the starting zone, in the "Lost and Found Vikings" area, players can find a green book entitled "The Green Hills of Stranglethorn", which is a quest designed by [[Jeff Kaplan]], back when he was a quest designer on ''World Of Warcraft''. This quest is, according to him, the worst thing he ever designed. *In the Heroes Arcade (the first spawn room for the defenders), screens with leaderboards on them can be seen, with 3-character usernames which represent Overwatch characters. 1st is SMB which stands for [[Sombra]], with 9999 points (as she is a hacker), 2nd is DVA (standing for [[D.Va]]), highest normal score as she is supposed to be a professional gamer, 3rd is JRT, standing for [[Junkrat]], and 4th is S76, standing for [[Soldier: 76]]. ===Development=== *The idea for the map came from [[BlizzCon 2015]], when [[Chris Metzen]] discussed the idea of a Blizzard-themed park. The idea for a map based on such an idea was taken up by the developers.<ref name = "2017Next">2017-11-12, [http://overwatch.blizzplanet.com/blog/comments/blizzcon-2017-overwatch-whats-next-panel-transcript/3 BlizzCon 2017 Overwatch: What’s Next Panel Transcript].
