I of course enjoy theme parks and themed design a great deal and share that love with my children. We often watch attraction videos on our Roku, play RCT, and make our own themed creations with hot wheel tracks, wooden train sets, and a variety of other toys. We even do birthday parties with...

A friend of mine is going to all four parks next week and I am compiling some general touring tips. I haven't been in 8 years myself so I am out of touch with current touring strategies. It will be her, her boyfriend, and children 6 and 9. This is what I am suggesting, please add and edit...

I have actually had a few instances where I had an idea for an attraction, and Disney later built it. The 7 Dwarfs Mine Ride is an idea I had back in 08' roughly, although it admit it is kind of a logical thought for an attraction. A better example is when I was a teenager, I was fixated on...

We recently had a son, and of course I am already thinking about all of the things I want to do with him, including WDW. I am the type who wants to be in the parks all day without leaving early or taking a break to go back to the hotel. I don't get to the parks often, so I want to take full...

This may just be me, but some concepts that were never realized feel much like attractions that we have lost and miss. So I wonder, for those familiar with such concepts, which exclusion is the most disappointing to you. And maybe you maintain hope that it will one day be built. For me, it...

While in some ways it would appear that focus has shifted to Marvel, could MK still get a Tron ride? Two reasons I bring this up. 1. The new TT would appear to be a precursor to the tron ride @ Shanghai, and looks rather impressive. I would be suprized if the Shanghai ride is not a hit...

I am curious how parents handle the purchase of souvenirs with their kids while at the parks. While I am only recently a father, I had always thought of giving them a WDW specific allowance. We would cover food, but whatever souvenirs they wanted would be up to them with their WDW allowance...

I'm curious to know some of people's favorite details from the parks. It could be anything: an element from a ride, a light fixture, talking trash can, reverse fountain, mickey shaped butter etc. Anything is fair game. The more random the better. Here are some of my favorites (at least what...

The apparent mainance issues of WDW has seemingly been a hot topic within the last few years, dispersed over many diferent threads. As a relative outsider, I am unfamiliar with the specifics of the issue. I know there are certain effects that have been unoperational for extended periods, and...

If you had write a to do list for WDW execs (maybe 5 to 10 items long) from highest to lowest priority for things that should happen in the parks (maintenance, new attractions etc), what would you include and why?

In November, the Milwaukee public museum is holding a special collector's day event in which you could be a part of. About twenty individuals and/or familiies will have their personal collections on display. The types of collections are diverse such as bottle caps (mine), pez, autographs...

I really just want to know the square footage of each show building. I wasn't sure where to find this info :shrug::confused: Thanks.

For those who have been reading my recent posts, here is another crazy idea. I wondered if it would be cool if Space Mountain (for my park concept) would be a floorless inverted coaster. I just thought it would be neat if your feet dangled in space. The part I struggle with is that you would...

Ok, so this is my thought. For the longest time I have liked the idea of having a walk-through attraction through a haunted Mayan temple in an Adventureland style land. However, I was struggling with how to pull this off. Then I thought, what about an in door ropes course in a neat temple...

Ok, I need the opinion of the talented minds roaming the imagineer boards. For the park I am designing, I am trying do decide if my Fronteirland needs to be connected to my liberty square area considering the closeness of themes. So, think of main street as a T shape, the base starting at...

It is rumored that eventually the show building which currently houses Snow White and will soon house the Princess Hall meet n greet area, will eventually be home to a new dark ride. What should it be? My vote would be either Sleeping beauty or 101 Dalamtions. I think that the Great Mouse...

Lee has indicated that a huge e-ticket for MK has either been green lit or is close to it and will appease the fanboy/girl community. What I want to know is, what is your project Z? What is your most dreamed about attraction yet to be made reality? For me, it is a Tron attraction. Please...

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/18953/disney-opens-the-museum-of-the-weird- Can anyone confirm or deny this, this is the first I have seen of this. I definetly trust the folks here more than a movie site, although it usually seems to be pretty legit. The LA times article this is based on...

I have bits and pieces of a Haunted Mansion style concept I have been developing for sometime, and was hoping for some help piecing it together. The attraction is called Doom Buggies. Oddly enough, despite having this idea years ago, it seems to be in a simular vein to the proposed Mystic...

There have been a few times where I have had ideas for Disney attractions and Disney reportedly developed the same concept or actually built the attraction. For example, I had the idea for a ride that simulated actual space flight in high school, and I think they built m:s about 6 years...
