In the early stages of planning out our "ultimate" Magic Kingdom theme park, two areas of interest were brought up. A World's Fair mini-land and Discoveryland, featuring attractions like Treasure Planet and more.

While some finish up the plans for Fantasyland -- this thread can be dedicated to the World's Fair and Discoveryland ideas since some have expressed interest in these areas of the park!

With that said -- let the brainstorming begin! I'll tag some below who might be interested, but everyone and anyone is free to join in!​

There is a dream of the future. Many have seen it. Jules Verne has, so has H.G. Wells, Leonardo da Vinci has too, in fact so many creative minds have seen the future. The have touched the future, and have transformed it in many different ways. Time travel, submarines, airships, subterranean life, these are all dreams of the future those visionaries have touched. We can all be visionaries, we just have to have the imagination to do so. What dream of the future will you touch? It's all there you need just need to find it. Perhaps you need inspiration to be a visionary. Well look no further to Discoveryland, as the inspiration you're looking for is here.

As curious guests leave Main Street USA they encounter Constellations a spectacular store themed around astronomy. Guests soon find the newly opened Journey to the Center of the Earth, an omnimover shooter attraction putting the likes of Buzz Light year Laser Blasters to shame. Also in the ares is Astro Orbiter, Cool Station, Space Mountain, and Aircycle: de la Avenir which is a fast paced ride sending riders around the world. Lastly in the area is Cafe Hyperion and the Hyperion Theater. Within the Hyperion Theater is a whole new IMAX film featuring the Timkeeper known as Un Voyage a Travers le Temps Encore.

In the next area guests can board the Disneyland Railroad, that takes guests around the park. Adjacent to the station is the Magic Eye Theater now showing Dreamfinder and Figment's Skyhigh Adventure. Beneath the railroad guests can find the Edison's and The Turn of Time.

The final area is Coruscant from the famed and beloved Star Wars Universe. Guests can can experience a relocated Jedi Training Academy located within the Ruins of the Jedi Temple. Guests can stop by for a quick bite at Dex's Diner or if they wish for something a bit more elegant that can visit The Emperor's Outlook. In the back of the area there's Star Tours : The Adventure Continues, Flight of the Millenium Falcon; the much beloved Star Wars attraction from Disneyland, and the ultimate Star Wars store in Europe, Star Traders; serving as the gift shop for both rides.

New Attractions -

Queue -

As guests enter from Discoveryland they enter Lidenbrock Laboratories. News clippings describe the events in the book leading up to now. Guests are being hired as explorers for an excursion back to the center to the earth. Guests eventually reach the location where Professor Lidenbrock is along with his newly created drilling machine.

Professor: Good day, fellow explorers! I am Professor Lidenbrock, and you have all been hired to accompany me to the center of the Earth. Yes you will go ahead of me in your Inner Earth Traveler. I have equipped the vehicle with a stun ray in case you meet any danger. I will follow suit in this machine you see here. If anything were to happen such as a cave in, I will simply drill though it allowing further travel. Well, it's best you off now. Go!

Guests continue through the queue seeing blueprints for their ride vehicle. Throughout the queue are various monitors that show the anatomy of the creatures to be found on the journey. Well all except for one. Guests continue and pass by equipment from the last excursion including the remains of a hastily put together raft. Finally guests reach the loading area.

Ride Experience -

Room 1: Lava

The vehicle leave the loading area and enter a volcano. The vehicles turn on setting the scores to zero, and allowing guests to stun. All around it will seem as if they were in the middle of a volcano as lava seemingly flows all around the guests truly creating a remarkable beginning. The professor warns the guests that they are now entering the jungles in the center of the earth.

Room 2: Carboniferous

Guests are transferred to a rocky jungle where there are bugs the size of dinosaurs something truly terrifying. All over the room there are Meganisoptera (Giant Dragonflies), Pulmonoscorpius (Giant Scorpions), Arthropleura ( 1 - 7.5 Feet Long Millipede like creatures), and scariest of them all the Dictyoptera the daddy of all cockroaches. Guests will be allowed to stun these giant insects as they threaten to ruin the expedition. Guests will finally reach the largest creature in the room the Arthropleura as it menacigly tries to reach into the vehicles to stop the invaders.

An Attacking Arthropleura

Room 3: The Glowing Plants

Guests escape the giant insects, and enter a cave. Guests can now stun mushrooms, petrified trees, flowers, ivy, and other plant life. When ever a guests stuns the plant life it actually begins to glow until someone else stuns it. As the vehicles careen through the plant ridden cave they come upon another cave opening, and go through it.

Room 4: Mesozoic

As the vehicles leave the safety of the cave they enter a primeval jungle once more. This time however dinosaurs conquer. Guests must stun dinosaurs that may harm the expedition such as tyrannosauruses, spinosauruses, velicoraptors, and many more. As guests proceed trough the room they can even stun pterosaurs in flight. Far off in the background are several prehistoric humans that are supposedly 12 feet long. The vehicles quickly progress into another chamber.

Room 5: Mysterious Creature

The vehicles enter another cave. Guests can stun the skeletons of mastodons and other large skeletons. But it raises the question what could've caused such great beast to die here? The professor chimes in that his detectors have picked up several lifeforms of an unknown species. He presses the explorers to go on. He has just made a grave mistake. As the vehicles continue they encounter a large boulder. Various geysers shout out steam. The boulder begins to turn around, and reveal that it is a monster. As guests continue to stun it, it simply intensifies its angers seemingly invulnerable to the shock of the stun. The professor informs the explorers he is on his way.

Room 6: Disaster

As the vehicles enter a rather large chamber the Professor's drill is on the cave floor with the professor inside the machine. He tells guests to hurry as they have just entered the nesting grounds for that monster. He isn't kidding. Several of the monsters seen before are in the chamber terrorizing whoever who enters. The professor urges the explorers to escape via the tunnel he has constructed with the drill.

Room 7: Escape Tunnel

The vehicles enter a tunnel covered in a projection scrim. Lava is rising endlessly as the monsters are jumping from side to side. The professor allows the stun rays to turn into death rays for the safety of the explorers and the people on the surface. If a guests is able to hit one of the beasts there score will be multiplied by 2. Eventually the vehicles will shoot out of the tunnels, and enter the safety of the laboratory.

Room 8: Laboratory

The last room in the ride tells guests what score they received, and where they rank with their score. The professor thanks the explorers, and tells them that they are welcomed back into the laboratory at any time. The guests are allowed to exit their vehicle, and enter the gift shop.

French for Aircycle: the Future, this attraction re-model of Autopia combines elements from the Test Track, Tron Light Cycle Run, and a Jules Verne storyline for a new spin on Autopia.

Guests will go into a rusted-over copper building where they see a museum type setting that showcases all of Jules Verne’s ideas and inventions, with the queue winding through giant pages of Verne’s inventions that will start out as sketches and later come to life through projection effects.

mk_alien2.jpg


Entering the preshow, a copper robot named SIR will introduce to guests one of Jules Verne’s hidden inventions that is now being put to the test : a motorcycle-like contraption called the air-cycle used to fly around the world in record time. SIR explains that the guests will load unto these and race to test which fuels and models are more powerful than others.

After guests go through the preshow, they quickly load unto the air-cycles. The aircycles launch in and out of giant projector rooms with footage used from Soarin’ Around the World. the finale room is racing through giant gold fireworks exploding around Space Mountain, welcoming you back to Discoveryland.

Description

The return of an opening day Disneyland Paris attraction the time keeper. Both characters Time Keeper and Nine Eyes would be found in a new home in the Videopolis Theater. This brand new version of the beloved attraction would be the first randomized 3D movie. The Visionary you would get, the locations and time you take them to are all randomized. The visionaries include Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Walt Disney, Nikola Tesla and Gustave Eiffel. This would bring back an attraction truly made for the French people.

Queue

The line would be weaving through a lab that was maybe once use to build a time machine. It would be located in the once open Videopolis arcade. In turns of lend the line would be about as long as the Laugh Floor queue. Spliced through the line are references to extinction Discoveryland attractions and the visionaries in the show.

Pre-show

The pre show shows the previous time travel excursions. Some of with are failed test and missions. The entire thing quickly turns into a gag real. This would be very funny and set the tone for the show.

Show

The main show is in an IMAX dome theater hosted in the place that once was a stage style show. Out in front is a small stage that host the animatronic pair of Timekeeper and Nine Eyes. Not much dialogues changes from the original to make it easy to clone into America using Robin Williams voice.

Queue -

Guests gather in the Gardens of Imagination as they wait to be allowed into the lobby. In the Gardens of Imagination there will be a lot of exotic plant life that seems imaginary. Like the pink puff-puff flowers with cotton as soft as a blanket, or maybe the golden rods flowers made of pure gold. As guests weave they enter the covered part of the queue. Various posters hang on the wall of various famous stage shows starring Figment. As guests continue they are allowed entry into the lobby where they wait for the theater to open. In the lobby guests are able to pick

Show Stats & Info -

This show will feature 3D, water squirters, smellitzers, air blasters, and hydraulics hidden beneath the theater floor. This attraction will be cofunded by Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World, and Disneyland Paris. In Disneyland Paris the show will be shown in English and French. English for half the day and French for the other half.

Attraction Type: 4D Show
Theme: Figment
Amount of People per Showing: 600
Duration: 15 Minutes
Viewers per Hour : 2,400
Viewers per Day : 24,000 - 33,600

Show Synopsis -

A purple curtain covers the screen. An instrumental version of One Little Spark begins to play, and as it does the curtain goes up. The movie begins to countdown from 3. As the instrumental for One Little Spark ends the film starts. Clouds are seen as a large steampunk airship appears. Figment and the Dreamfinder are seen on board. The camera gets closer as viewers find out that they have been called up here by someone named N.M. Wondering aloud who it can be the question is soon answered as a ghastly airship appears with Nightmare aka N.M. appears.

SteampunkAirship_screenshot1-1920x1080-1ae3810cf9702b4be3c3288531c682af.png

An airship example

She tells Dreamfinder to give up Figment so that she can use his dragon abilities to rule the skies. The begins a battle between the two airships. This leads to comedy as the crews of both ships fight with Imagination Guns (Fart Ray, Rainbow Blaster, Thunder Clapper, etc). Figment occasionally breaks the fourth wall slipping out from the screen and escaping Nightmare's crew. It is an overall light hearted show that ends with Nightmare being defeated by the power of Imagination, and of course a new song sung by Dreamfinder and Figment.

With the re-imagining of Discoveryland Paris and the expansion of a mini Star Wars Land themed to the planet Coruscant, The Jedi Training Academy will be undergoing its own changes. The exterior of the theater will get a facelift and redesigned to more closely resemble the remains of the original Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

The theater set up itself will remain intact, however the backdrop and set will be completely redesigned to take the young potential padawans inside the old Jedi Temple. A replica of the Jedi council chambers will form the basis of the set with an animatronic Yoda playing a part in the experience secretly meeting new Jedi recruits.

With the indoor theater, the “force” effects can still be utilized and cast members will assist Yoda in taking the recruits through the trials of being a Jedi. The finale of the show will still end with Darth Vader discovering the secret training and the padawans will fight him off to escape to continue their training.

To complete its smaller scale Star Wars Land within Discoveryland, a brand new E ticket will be added. The ride will be mimicked after the Millennium Falcon ride going in Disney World Hollywood Studios and DisneyLand. While using the ride vehicle and technology from those parks, the ride itself will be specially themed to Discoveryland’s version of Star Wars Land as you pilot the Falcon in and around Coruscant.

Sent on a fact finding and intel mission you are discovered before your mission is complete. In the opening scenes you’ll need to pilot among trade vessels and the planet defenses to arrive safely at the designated site to proceed. Things will go quickly awry as sentries are alerted to your presence and trigger an all-out planet watch for the Falcon.

You’ll be forced to fly in and out of the planet sized city to fend off the Imperial forces bent on bringing you to Darth Vader. You’ll have plenty of chances to shoot your way out of trouble brining down as many Tie Fighters, and other planet defenses as you can.

Be on the lookout though as Darth Vader is not the only one after you. A certain Hutt has numerous bounty hunters who are alerted to your presence and could also join in the fray.

Ride System

Guests board a Suspended Enhanced Motion Vehicle (SEMV) although thoughtfully designed to appear as steampunk time machines.

Story - Explained in the preshow (The preshow is optional, you can skip it for repeat ridings.)

Host: "You are in Discoveryland, a place where visionaries and dreamers come to together to envision and create the future. Jules Verne, Gustave Eiffel, H.G. Wells, and Thomas Edison came together to discover a way to see the future. The Perception Cannon was created with inspiration from Jules Verne’s Catapult Cannon, so that they can see a future based on their visions of the future, but it only can become a reality in another dimension. Thomas Edison found that Plasma energy could be harnessed by using the Eiffel Tower as an energy point, which is what they needed to power the powerful Perception Cannon. The only problem is once you’re there, you can’t come back, so they brainstormed, and as they always never gave up. They found out that you needed to remain in a metal object for the energy to not dissipate. And that’s why you’re here, to test this new contraption out! I, Hank in case you didn’t know, have recruited all of you for this first time operation, there is no room for failure. Oh and by the way, it flies, they’ve always thought that there’s no point of a vehicle that remains grounded, because they have this new hover technology that uses the Earth’s magnetic field. Anyway back to business. So you are going to go on this ‘time machine’ into a place that only its designers know of with the exception being me. And don’t worry I’ll guide you through the other dimension using um… I think they called it speakers? Good luck!”

Exterior

(This structure in this photo except as part of a building)
The story takes place before you even ride the attraction. Discoveryland as a whole is a place for visionaries and dreamers to build how they see the future, but those that want to dive deep into the future must build a way to see it. And it has been built. The exterior’s design is that of a massive plasma generator for the cannon. It is connected to a fine dining restaurant called Edison’s themed as a 19th century steampunk inspired mess hall turned fine dining.

Queue

You wonder through the heavily detailed queue through walkways between contraptions and parts that make up the generator (Think The Tower of Terror Boiler Rooms with a Steampunk flair and on a significantly larger scale). The preshow is in two different “Elevators” (they are fake) one being English and the other one in French. They’re themed to an elevator taking you thousands of feet below the Earth’s surface under the generator as the power of the Perception Cannon is like no other. Then, once you receive the story from Hank while the elevators simulate going into the Earth (The French Version is George Clooney dubbed by Vincent Cassel) once complete, the elevator doors open, and you proceed down steps to the duel loading area. If you speak French you will be directed to the right side, if you speak English you will be directed to the left side. This marks the first ride that allows for full understanding in two languages without having the languages mixed together.

Ride experience

The vehicles simulate flight, whether turbulence, changes of altitude, or gliding. This works by uses a new form of EMV technology that is suspended. The main difference is the track as it is more similar to a suspended coaster track. The track is also not ever visible to the rider as the vehicles have ceilings, and the loading station has an angled ceiling.
