Ok, finally saw atlantis, I was VERY impressed, the only thing that bugged me was the people had triangular fingernails..but thats another story. I said awhile ago that I wasn't going to do anything with the firemountain idea until I SAW the movie, and I did, and thoughts bubbled up like mad. And the idea was actually a roller coaster, and the last time I had an idea for a roller coaster was my 'minotaur' idea for beastly kingdom..
So, here goes. I want my villians land! SO I want this ride to either be in adventureland or in that 'proposed' jules verne type land. But I haven't really thought much about the place I want it to be.
I might as well warn you that some spoilers may be in here. You have been warned.
So, you enter the building, depending on where it is, you will either be entering into some ruins <adventureland> or into a mock submarine <jules verne land> either way, you'll weave through the line, and enter into some elevators, which serve two purposes, preshow, and gets them high up, so they bypass the lift. On the way up, the premise would be that you are ALREADY onboard the big submarine, there would be a screen, where milo, the commander guy, and the crew are there, and they welcome you'recruits' aboard, they thank you for joining the mission, and explain parts of it, the whole journey, etc...Milo tell how atlantis is situated, the whole 'grease trap' thing like in the movie...So they basically set things up. Suddenly, the lights flash, and the elevator drops slightly, rumbling and straining metal is heard, "Its a huge lobster!" the leviathan is attacking! " Quick! Everyone to the EVAC subs! then, you exit the elevators into another, short que area where you get into you cars, they wouold be four rows of four, and a single car, holding 6 people. It would be styled like the evacs, just without a top, very box-shaped. After you are loaded, your car swerves to the left, and dives through the hatch into a big room, heres where the first part of the coaster would start, very tame, just with some big drops and steep curves...Oh did I forget to mention the Leviathin animitronics that you are swerving around? Yes, the leviathan would be there, growling and snaping its claws, while shooting beams from its head. Lasers would be used to create an underwater look, like in the littlemermaid show at MGM, but the room would be very dark, no need for excessive decor. The end of this segments would be a steep drop with you heading into a rock crevice, then going up a hill and bsting through a fake retractable rock wall, and emerging on a bridge suspended over lava, where Atlantis would be, standing in its glory. It would be painted on the wall, and parts would be standing off the wall, it wouldn't be a full replica, as you near the city, an AA kida would say "Welcome to Atlantis!" And you would enter the city through a tunnel, with a water fall that would stop as you got under it. You would next move into the crystal chamber, the large, glistening,, crystal floating in the center, those heads floating around it. The room would be round, and your cars would move around the room, while heading up, the room would actually serve as a lift. as you head up, Milo explains what the crystal does, how it absorbs a person when it is threatened, etc..etc..and as you circle around it, it starts to turn red, and those red spotlights circle around the room. As soon as you reach the top, you see Kida standing therem and a bright blue light locks onto her, and she floats towards the crystal, over your car...
The next room resembles a tunnel, its dark, and the car stops, where an AA commander stands,"We Have to get that crystal, it's worth a fortune.." he says,"Crew! Go get it!" your car moves foward, and stops again, this time an AA of milo is there,"No! You'll kill an entire civilization! We must do whats right! Save the girl!" etc..etc.. suddenly, your car drops, down a steep drop, and enters a loop, the room is light, and decorated like the inside of a volcano, with that hot air ballon in the middle, lifting the crystal out, replicas of the atlanteen ship things are found flying aound the room, you zoom around, joining in the fight, dodging bullets and flying around the room, hitting helixs and loops, use whatever momentum the car has left to go up a reasonably big hill, where at the top a voice says,"The volcano is gonna blow!" suddenly, you drop down, and land in a big pool, water spraying everywhere, soaking the passengers...! the car moves back around, where you see all the atlanteens waving goodbye, kida in milo's arms..you get off the car and exit to the giftshop. The end! Tell me what you think?
