DEORVM ET PEREGRINANTIVM COETVM VIRVMQVE CANO
"I sing of gods and a group of pilgrims..."
Welcome to Rome!
Introduction to the attraction:
For this project, Team Cap has called upon Calliope--the Muse of epic poetry--to speak through us and weave a tale of great adventure and great danger...
That's actually a pretty bang-up job! (EDIT: I redact my comment about adding to the first scene, it's better the way you have it.) I love the Jason and the Argonauts thing that you have worked into the ending in Rome.
One small but crucial change: Jupiter and Mars aren't enemies, but all the...
Thanks for the heads-up, I'll be sure to get my stuff in for you by then.
Does a Thursday mid-day deadline work for you, @Pionmycake and @ThatGuyFromFlorida?

Also yes I can be the team leader for this go-around. This is our updated call sheet:
UNTITLED ITALY ATTRACTION
- write up the context of the attraction
- write up the exterior, queue, loading area, and exit for the ride (@kmbmw777 )
- write up scenes for inside the ride
- write up the...
@ThatGuyFromFlorida expressed concern about the flume and then I asked what everyone else thought and I think you might have agreed with him? I don't have a problem with water and I don't have a problem with no-water, it's a killer ride either way! So I suppose you can make the call at this...
Yeah I'm with you and @kmbmw777. We only need as much "story" (or exposition or whatever you want to call it) as the classic stuff that's still super popular. Take Pirates: talk about an implied story that looks like just a collection of scenes on the surface.
We have a couple of things we...
To re-iterate, I'm team "no explicit plot". But it's smart to have reason for every creative choice we make even when the attraction won't state it outright.
EDIT: looks like Team Younger might be locked into doing a coaster/dark ride hybrid too. I don't know if we want to concern ourselves...
We don't even need the artifact honesty, if we aren't married to it. I was just proposing a series of experiences and justifying their existence. Everything is implied, not stated (like the traveling back in time). It's just locations and characters.

Shoutout to my old VFers. I miss how you could read at the bottom of the pages who was viewing the forum or thread. I used to check that feature a lot! :geek:

There's three, I think? Mexico, Frozen, and Living with the Land? I don't know if it's necessarily a problem; Magic Kingdom has five water rides and Disneyland has like nine. But your opinion counts just as much as anyone's here!
What does everyone else think about the amount of water rides in...
Some more ideas:
- the premise of the attraction could be that we are pulled to Olympus from the temple by the gods because they have destined for us to help the Trojans find Italy and found Rome in the wake of the Trojan War
- Juno is angry at the Trojans because of events in the Trojan war...
The main thing to keep in mind from a story perspective is that none of the gods are good/evil in a Judeo-Christian sense, and the Underworld is not like hell (it's just the afterlife). They're democratic deities, reflecting the democratic society from which they were born. Personality-wise...
All the main pantheon of gods have like a little senate on Olympus so we shouldn't have trouble working a ton of characters into this thing!

There's some (possibly unavoidable) similarities to Maelstrom, but overall this is a really strong start for us!
So, we ascend to Olympus, fall into the sea, enter the Underworld through a cavern, and finally arrive at Rome or something?
