Wile Disney have been shifting from their old “a lot of moderately complex animatronics” method to “one really good animatronic, with other stuff being screens, projections, figures, etc.”, and thus investing a lot in robotics to create their one big star animatronic per attraction (or even...

Hello there! I do want to do something about the downsides of mono-IP lands sometime, but the subject would be too much of an irritant with recent reveals in mind, so I decided to do something else that has been residing comfortably in the back of my head since I went to Aulani and thought...

As a tribute to the late Blue Sky Studios, I thought to myself; “the best ride they could get should be an ode to their complete library of films.” So I decided to do this. Blue Sky Studio Tour has a story; the fictionalized Blue Sky is seeking funds to re-open, so they’re now offering guided...

Picture this: after DECADES of (varyingly justified) complaints about the parks making bad changes, Disney decides to do a complete 180 on their recent efforts. They decide to appeal more to diehard park fans than general audiences for the decade to come; this would include; * Reverting several...

Considering imagineering, I have noticed that in recent years that Pixar in particular have gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to quality of attractions. Case in point being their coasters; such as “Chase-A-Baby”; notably, while other IP do get at least one AA, even if only in the...

Hello, I now present this forum with... an Imagineering-based challenge! Inspired by @Okee68 and his ideas for a Disney park; I present a challenge to come up with one’s own Disney park... with the following stipulations: * The land names are those of pre-2019 Disneyland, though you may also...

From earlier eras (starting around Walt’s day); lands like Frontierland would have miscellaneous wandering entertainers among the cast members aside from the costumed characters, to provide a sense of atmosphere to the lands. Nowadays they only have this when it is actually practical; such as...

Well, we discussed the best year/era of Disneyland history, now we can discuss the worst eras! My vote is for 2017-onwards, as we got a slew of controversial and needless alterations and closures, most notoriously Pixar Pier. Add on top of that a fair few underwhelming E-Ticket experiences, the...

This point was brought up during a discussion about the original Alice ride and it’s amount of jump scares. This example the user have also gave me a very chuckle worthy thought exercise; what would other movies spawn as Day 1 dark rides? I managed to give some examples as well afterwards. At...

What do you all think are the worst Disney attractions to have ever stood, and which ones are the worst currently standing? The worst one currently standing IMO is Path of the Jedi. This one is edged only a little bit above Launch Bay because Launch Bay at least has real film and TV props on...

I have an idea or two to give a solid revamp to the crowd-favorite yet fan-rued Frozen Ever After. * Animatronics redone in the style of Enchanted Journey. This attraction shows that nonrealistic, conventional Disney humans can be made as AAs without the use of projections. * New scenes and...

Is there a reference to Big Thunder Ranch hidden within the Galaxy’s Edge complex that replaced it? I know Tiffin’s has the Camp Minnie-Mickey totem poles inside, is there something similar for Big Thunder Ranch?

Imagine this: Iger/Chapek has released today’s American imagineers from the constraint of IP use, allowing them to build an attraction not tied to extant IP. However, there is a catch; they MUST do a non-IP attraction, and they aren’t able to back out of this, as Iger has noticed that they...

I think the long-lamented absence of original IP as opposed to incorporating as many IP as possible even where it doesn’t fit may be blamed on a few bad apples in Disney’s history. The original DCA had few to no Disney IP, and it was badly received, partially for this. This is in fact because...

Throughout my experience at Pandora, i was unable to find an Easter egg calling back to the defunct Camp Minnie-Mickey and its attractions in Pandora, let alone the unmade Beastly Kingdomme. Do any Easter eggs to the defunct land exist?

I was originally going to try and retheme and enclose the layout, but the more I look at it, the more it appears GSS is unsalvageable in its current layout, and can very well be smashed down and utterly rebuilt in a new form, should the opportunity to do as such arise. From the remains of what...

My report on my vacation to WDW this October. Our resort was AOA, and it was the best one I’d been in, other than the relatively limited space. Our first meal there was the large pizza, and I was the only one who liked it, getting more slices over our trip The Magic Kingdom was first, and as the...

As a quickie, I decided to try and revamp the Incredicoaster, turning it into a true Disney-worthy experience. You may notice the backside of DCA’s gotten a lot more… natural. Gone is the old-looking coaster with fake wood clashing with scream tunnels and a loop. Now you see a beautiful rocky...

Welcome to the Touchstone City (née Touchstone Realms) Open brainstorming topic! This city-themed Park is aimed at a more mature audience and is based around any Disney-owned, but not Disney-branded IP (Think ABC, Touchstone, etc), and originally spawned from the daily prompts topic. Original IP...

Pretoria Disneyland is my idea of an African Disney Resort. Located in South Africa, the park is not handled by Disney, rather, it is the property of another company, only under license by Disney. Tokyo proves this format is the most open to creativity. The park is located as the centerpiece...
