People also complained about too many attractions being “book reports”, too many rides being based too closely on the film’s story. But the request to stop doing book reports led to this, and worse still, “Chase-a-Baby” as a result. It’s a monkey’s paw effect in action.

These days, people often believe Disney has no wishes or magic left in its library, which is surprisingly not true. Wishes still happen, but these days the Star has been replaced by… a monkey’s paw, and now this monkey’s paw is in your control. Instead of no longer granting wondrous wishes...

Call it “Magical Quest Mania” to make a nod to both the Magical Quest series and Mickey Mania; and yes, it should use multiple parks and possibly even have a ODL counterpart. The previous Magic Quests have been in Magic Kingdom, then Hollywood Studios, so I say Epcot could be next along with a...

Give Maelstrom the JII With Figment treatment; balance the old and new (awkwardly); bonus points if you add Marvel Thor. Could work for other rides too.

Four Great Novels at Gilroy Gardens An ode to China’s “Four Great Novels” (Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Journey to the West, Dream of the Red Chamber), celebrating Chinese immigrant heritage in California and the impact these novels have had throughout East Asia and eventually...

When’s the next challenge? What did I miss?

An idea for the Lost Kingdom would for it to be, if it lacks the “Disney” branding, to be used for mature Halloween events to compete with Universal & Cedar Fair.

For that Universal movie ride, I feel like it shouldn’t just be modern films in the end montage; that would snub the likes of the Don Bluth movies, the rest of Hitchcock’s library, Shrek, etc. especially because DM1 would otherwise be the only animated movie in the lineup.

I think picking a specific subset of IP and sticking to it could help the escape room stand out; Disney Television animation or even just the Disney Afternoon alone could be a goldmine of Escape Room material. Being specific with it could also open it up to expansion of additional escape rooms...

My idea for the Mayan tree thing was that it was a take on the DisneyQuest elevator that had animated clips inside, and/or the elevator from The Living Seas, making it kind of a mini-ride, but having it as a landmark is also cool.

I think either urban legends or prehistory would be the best replacement for it if we have to replace it. Again, the Aztecs are much more similar (and un-Disney) than the Incas are. Given how frequently the classic characters visited the Inca empire in media like comics or video games, it could...

Having an enclosed dome would be awesome, and make Cenote work even better in cold weather. And the tree part would work as an elevator perhaps.

It could be cool to see Discovery Isle reused for something like a mature horror event ala Halloween Horror Nights; its landscaping is better than any of the parks for it or even Wide World of Sports. (I do think Disney could just license out its horror stuff from the ABC, 20th, etc. catalog to...

Heck, we could have it set up so that riders get a glimpse of the walkthrough when they’re about to get sucked in.

Darn. Sort of like how some of the reviews for the last OLS haven’t materialized yet.

3 years later, has anything changed? If Disney were smart, they’d expand the Duffy roster to Hilton Head (maybe the new character could be an octopus?) like they did Aulani to make up for cutting Shadow Shadow from the place. Shame, the various live entertainers add a lot to Disney but are the...

It’s called Cenote: Voyage Into Darkness This log-flume ride serves as the slightly more adult counterpart to good old SM, themed after the Mayan myth of the “cenote”, a sinkhole that links to the spirit world from the earth via its deep waters. The attraction is largely indoors and beneath...

Indeed so, and Aztec stuff is probably too dark to be included and could be summed up via the Knott’s acquisition. Heck, I have some ideas already, like a log flume based on sinkholes.

Slayer’s Keep Added to Toon Lagoon as part of a possible unification with Marvel Super Hero Island into a Weekly Shonen Jump land, Slayer’s Keep is a Demon Slayer restaurant featuring dishes from and inspired by the series for consumer delectation, with characters appearances including the...

Disney and Coke: Match Made In Time An expanded version of Ice Station Cool’s walkthrough area, now based around the relationship between Disney and Coca-Cola over the years, complete with displays of specially branded products...
