1986 - The House of the Future: Week 1

In the meantime though - would it be possible for folks to reply with which 'team' they'd like to be on?

Either the entrance land or castle hub? (You can also be on both, but just so we get a head count)

What if instead of the train, there was a boat ride around a river that circles the park?

We could even include elements of Jungle Cruise and Small World along the way instead of just cloning these classics.

The boat might tie in better with the Boston Harbor theme and give us a unique transportation option for the park

I actually love this idea, it'd be a neat way to spice up the park

I'd love to work on the Entrance Land portion

I love this idea but time sounds like an issue. For example, If we have a park the size of Disneyland that would be almost a 45-50 minute boat ride. We could always have multiple boats going at once but I don't know if a 45 minute boat ride would be popular enough

Castle Hub team!

 

[NigelChanning]

I’ll work on the entrance land! I’m pretty sure @AceAstro and I are working on the Muppets Hamilton show. Can we confirm if we’re doing this or not?

I'm up for serving on the entrance land team.

That is an excellent point lol

I'm game for either. Entrance land would be my preference. But I can work wherever

I'm gonna go ahead and say a Muppets Hamilton show by you guys will 100% be in! Too good to not be in!

Also since there's so many folks here, it might be easier if once we have our teams and ready to go, that we have an entrance land thread and a castle hub thread, leaving this thread open for communication.

That way folks don't have to read through so many pages at once like today and things stay organized.

As Mr. Manager for the round I put myself on both

I think my earlier post made this clear but I’ll work on the entrance land.

I like that idea but it either needs to be heavy on elements or clear it’s main purpose is transportation.

Animal Kingdom had the Discovery Island River boats at opening that was designed for transportation from one side of the park to the other with little elements (like an amazing Iguanadon animatronic) that made guests think it was a boring ride. It was stuck in between the two and didn’t last long because of it

Castle ‘n’ hub, no doubt!

 

[Chaos Cat]

We're almost at ten pages already! Man, I missed a lot while asleep. (Don't ask about my sleep schedule. It's a mess.)

I think so! I do want to make sure @Outbound @goofyyukyukyuk17 @b-wolf95 @pix are on board with at least something for them to do within either the entrance or the castle hub before we start!

Boston sounds good. We can do a lot with that theme.

I'm good with either. Just put on the one that needs more people.

 

[Outbound]

This is moving too quickly for me to follow lol, but I also support Boston Harbor.

I'd like to work on the entrance land.

I believe that would be the hub team.

True. Though part of the added issue for Discovery Island River Boats is that it didn't need a transportation option. It didn't go around the outside of a large park, it went around the hub of a small one. So, it was basically useless as a tranportation attraction.

But I agree there would definitely be issues with the boat concept. Between its slower speed and potential lack of excitement.

What if we spruced it up a bit. Do it like the Silver Dollar City train ride thing. We could have bandits rob the boat near frontierland, or pirates in wherever we put our pirates of the Caribbean thing. We could have a segment being our Jungle Cruise so we don't have to copy the ride over, stuff like that. Make it more interactive and have stops in every land so people can hop on and off as they wish

I added @Mickeynerd17 to the castle team because of the Germany inspirations he was excited about

I'll also make the two threads so if people want to continue brainstorming while we wait for the remainder of our cohort, it won't be at the expense of excess pages they'll have to read here.

If they’re faster boats, or focus around the hub (like the old Swan Boats did), I think it could add a nice dynamic. But the slower speed could definitely be an issue when it comes to the main transportation
