So I was looking up Knott's Berry Farm to see if I could get some inspiration and, um... about that Maliboomer thing...

They have the exact same Drop Tower model as Maliboomer! 🤣 It's even in the Boardwalk section, so we could even just graft the Maliboomer theming onto it and it'll still look good.

Boardwalk Bash
The first Cedar Fair park to get this ride system rolled out across the chain, Knott’s Berry Farm open Boardwalk Bash, a ride using a similar system to Toy Story Midway Mania, in the boardwalk area. The exterior is a carnival tent as the interior is multiple carnival attractions around a fair. A shop, Carnival Collection & a restaurant, The Treat Hall.

I would love a real classic feeling bus bar dark ride added to Camp Snoopy. Peanuts is such a charming and classic IP that would work so well as an old school Fantasyland style C-Ticket.
I agree! Knotts has only two dark rides and both aren't even technically dark rides. Hopefully one day our wishes will be fulfilled!

Okay, so I'm not super familiar with Knott's Berry Farm. Looking over that wikipedia page, though, I do notice that they have a themed section known as the Boardwalk. So, here's a little midway inspiration...

The Sky-High Striker


bell-at-the-top-of-a-test-your-strength-machine-at-a-victorian-themed-picture-id963834416

Essentially, this would be a space shot-style drop tower for the Boardwalk area themed to the classic "Test Your Strength" game you'd see in a carnival midway. Guests would feel what it's like to be that game, as they're sent high up along the tally marks. Sometimes, they might even reach high enough to trigger a "ding" sound effect, as if they had hit the top. At night, the attraction would be quite the sight to see, with light bulbs all aglow and flashing to grab people's attention.
Love it! The Boardwallk area has been a very messy concept in the time it has been around, so this helps the theme and land be a lot more cohesive!

SNOOPY AND THE RED BARON

A pair of duelling coasters themed around Snoopy's daydreams, eternally battling the Red Baron in bi-planes. The front carts of the coasters resemble WWI aircraft, whilst the rest of the vehicles are Snoopy's doghouse flipped upward to act as seats.
Very fun! Knotts is a very coaster heavy park, so I love that you incorporated Snoopy into the coaster!

Adjacent to GhostRider I'd like to see another wooden coaster - This I'd call the Double Dip - complete with an 80 foot drop and winding curves - this could be located in the nearby parking lot expansion next to the aforementioned coaster!
How exciting! Like I said above, Knotts loves them some coasters, so this would be a perfect fit!

Boardwalk Bash
The first Cedar Fair park to get this ride system rolled out across the chain, Knott’s Berry Farm open Boardwalk Bash, a ride using a similar system to Toy Story Midway Mania, in the boardwalk area. The exterior is a carnival tent as the interior is multiple carnival attractions around a fair. A shop, Carnival Collection & a restaurant, The Treat Hall.
Love it! As I said earlier, the Boardwalk area has always been thematically messy, and your ride helps bring the theme together.

Day 7

In a galaxy far far away there was a theme park land that had mixed reviews among fans and guests of the park. Today we’re going to help settle those mixed reviews and make sure every fan is happy

jump to lightspeed - /Film | Star wars celebration, New star wars, Star wars  light


Your task today is to..

Propose an alternate Star Wars themed planet for alternate Galaxy’s Edge

Pretend this is in the planning stage before anything was built. You can make it in any part of the Star Wars timeline and use an existing planet or create a whole new planet.

Some reminders:
-You can keep it simple! You don’t have to make a full blown 10 page document on the ride. You can do a couple sentences and/or a few pictures. Whatever you feel comfortable with

-Don’t be scared to share your ideas! Every idea is a good idea

-Have fun with it! Don’t be afraid to think outside the box.

Nevarro. It has the perfect backstory: formerly a hotbed of crime and villainy reformed by Greef Karga (Carl Weathers) into an up-and-coming trading port. On the surface, everything is well, but there'd still be pieces of "adventure" beneath the city to explore. Bounty Hunting, Mandalorian Creeds, and even a former Imperial Base could all be attractions seamlessly blending into the backstory.

Also, it'd sell Macarons.

Gonna go controversial here: Canto Blight.

It might have been a dumb scene in Last Jedi. But a casino/theme park planet with a hidden underground rebellion against the rich, amoral folks selling weapons to the First Order and the Resistance while rich smugglers cheat their way through poker games with the galaxy's elite. There is a TON to explore there and a ton of really fun visuals to mess with. Plus, plenty of opportunities to tell stories from any era of the saga. AND we could follow up on the cliffhanger from the Last Jedi that Rise of Skywalker ignored because of the complete and utter lack of cohesion or planning in the sequel trilogy making what happens in one movie be essentially meaningless in the other two movies.

Hoth: The famous ice planet from The Empire Strikes Back becomes a new Star Wars land. Through a controlled environment, Hoth would be eternally icy and cold (which could help counter the hot weather in California or Florida). Set under the shadow of Wampa Peak, guests can visit a remote alien village that double as a Rebel Alliance base, though the Empire aren't far behind. Attractions include a roller coaster take on the battle against the walker AT-ATs (with the ride vehicles allowing guests to ride backwards!); and a Wampa spin on the Matterhorn; and a Tauntaun tour across the landscape using a track "bouncy horse" ride system.

So, Star Wars has plenty of great planets. So many varied locales known from movies and television. Personally, though, I like the idea of setting Galaxy's Edge in a brand new planet. It not only frees up designers to play around with what can be done using the potential of Star Wars, but also gives a chance to add a little to the grand tapestry of that franchise. Thus, I propose....

Gyanboros

maxresdefault.jpg

In the farther reaches of the galaxy, it was discovered the planet Gyanboros provided a key access point for trade through the Outer Reaches. It was just out of the range of deadly celestial storms and offered a safe connection point to a moon that housed valuable metals. When the Galactic Republic ruled, they negotiated a treaty with a collection of merchants who would oversee the maintenance of the planet and its trade operations while the Republic would offer protection. Thus the planet ran, with that collection of merchants forming the first Council of Gyanboros. As time would go on, however, the Council would grow more corrupt as they profited off of the risks others took for those valuable metals. The capital city grew into a place of gaming and wealth, crushing down the lower classes with the weight of their credits. When the Galactic Empire came to power, the Council was more than willing to play ball to maintain their way of life.

Since then, however, the Council does not have the same protection they once had. Gyanboros has grown into a more dangerous place, as revolutionaries fight to free the people from the iron grip and mercenary henchmen of the Council.

Day 8

Books are the topic of which we will be diving into today. Disney themed books are great as many have great original and continuation stories. With this, it is time to make your own!

Propose a new book series for any Disney owned IP/original idea

It can be an original idea or prequel/sequel series of an IP

I know I'm late on these but whatever.
Day 3

We are going to space! Sort of. Today we are working with one of the most problematic Disney rides. It has sure been a pain to Disney.

8- Mission Space


Today your task is to…


Propose a replacement for Mission: SPACE

It can be a new version of the ride or a whole new ride with a different story. You can even gut the whole thing and create a complete new ride.


Some reminders:
- You can keep it simple! You don’t have to make a full blown 10 page document on the ride. You can do a couple sentences and/or a few pictures. Whatever you feel comfortable with

-Have fun with it! Don’t be afraid to think outside the box.


Now get to thinkin'!
In an alternate world, where Tron would replace the Energy Pavilion and GoTG would go to MK, the Space Pavilion would be radically transformed. The main building itself would become at least three stories tall; ground level being where the main shop is, plus a couple of interactive exhibits and a QS. 2nd floor would be where the main exhibits are. Also present here is a dark ride that simulates space travel; much like Doug's In an Ocean of Stars ride at DisneySky. 3rd floor is where a TS restaurant and a Omnimax theater would play 4D films exploring the mystical nature of outer space are located at.

Day 4

Disney's California Adventure has always had thematic issues right from the opening. Almost all of the park is not even themed to California anymore. Today we are going spruce up the park just a bit.
Disney disneyland disney california adventure GIF - Find on GIFER


Your task it to…


Propose a new name for Disney California Adventure

It can be anything as long as you try and capture the theme of the park as a whole. Have fun with it.

Some reminders:
- You can keep it simple! You don’t have to make a full blown 10 page document on the ride. You can do a couple sentences and/or a few pictures. Whatever you feel comfortable with

Now get to thinkin’!
Much like Outbound, the theme of DCA would change instead of the name. Continuing where Phase 1 ended of and after converting Condor Flats in Grizzly Airfield (though Soarin’ Through California would remain),Hollywood Backlot would finally receive much needed TLC, replace A Bug’s Land with a Hollywood expansion, and creating some new dark ride for Hollywoodland, Grizzly Peak, and Paradise Pier. And if the ability to rewrite reality did exist, I would change Radiator Springs setting to the Mojave Desert in Southern California or whatever it’s called in the Cars-verse.
Day 5

It’s finally December! It’s time to get cozy, hang out with the family, and watch Christmas movies and specials. To get into this cozy feeling I have a special prompt just for the beginning of the Christmas season!

disney christmas | Tumblr


Your task is to…


Propose a new holiday movie or special for Disney+

It can be for any IP property or even an original movie. Just make sure it has the Christmas spirit!


Some reminders:
  • You can keep it simple! You don’t have to make a full blown 10 page document on the ride. You can do a couple sentences and/or a few pictures. Whatever you feel comfortable with
  • Don’t be scared to share your ideas! Every idea is a good idea
  • Have fun with it! Don’t be afraid to think outside the box.

Now get to thinkin’!
Oswald's Hopping Halloween (You said create a holiday movie or special, you didn't say Christmas specifically). Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is throwing the town's biggest Halloween Party yet, but this has drawn the attention of a ghoul, a warlock, and a vampiress who begin to pick off the guest one by one to turn into soldiers for their own personal Army of the Hallowed. Can Oswald save his friends and stop these monsters before it's too late?
Day 6

Today we are heading to a park that is just a few miles away from Disneyland in California. I am talking about Knott’s Berry Farm! If you don’t know what Knott’s Berry Farm is, then here is the wikipedia page.

Xcelerator Roller Coaster POV Knott's Berry Farm California HD 2014  animated gif's Berry Farm California HD 2014  animated gif


Your task is to…

Propose a new ride for Knott’s Berry Farm

It can be a whole new ride in a new land plot, a replacement of an already existing ride, or even just a slight retheme of a ride already.

Some reminders:
-You can keep it simple! You don’t have to make a full blown 10 page document on the ride. You can do a couple sentences and/or a few pictures. Whatever you feel comfortable with

-Don’t be scared to share your ideas! Every idea is a good idea

-Have fun with it! Don’t be afraid to think outside the box.


Now get to thinkin’!
As part of revamping Fiesta Village into an old Alta California village, Dragon Swing and Waveswinger get knocked down and replaced by a steeplechase roller coaster themed as a horse race set by three ranch hands who may or may not have created this race as a means to win a bet against the other two. Winning horse will be random because the ranch hands would try all sorts of tricks to slow their rival's horse down.

This is the way
Disneyland's variant would become Tatooine; complete with a pod race through the canyons and the Dune Sea, Star Tours, a Bantha-drawn trolley ride across town, and The Resistance sending you on a mission to sabotage The First Order's attempts to excavate a Sith temple.
Hollywood Studios' version would take place on a swampy coastal port on a subtropical moon set during the OT. Complete with Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Star Tours, a dry-for-wet dark ride exploring a nearby reef, and an escape from an Imperial base; sort of like Rise of the Resistance but you actually come face-to-face an enemy that's actually imposing.

Jungle cruise! Have rotating cast of Skippers and have each book be a short-ish story of them at some stop along the rivers. Mostly comedic. Almost like a sitcom in book form but with the occasional Pulp Adventure qualities mixed in.
