1986 - The House of the Future: Week 3

[PerGron]

IDEA!!!
Alright, so what if our Castle Courtyard was themed to the Castle's Gardens. The Gardens, by some sort of magic, come to life, revealing that they come to life with the magic of the castle. We can theme it all to Fantasia and have some Fantasia flat rides before branching off. Theme the whole castle courtyard to a "Fantasia Gardens of Seasons"

Edit: Flowers and Trees can fit in here too as Silly Symphonies was basically proto-Fantasia​

Unfortunately, Winnie the Pooh is off the table. That said, Mary Poppins could potentially work for Fall or Spring, considering the kite-flying.

Oops I forgot it was an blocked off IP. I think Mary Poppins could work for both Fall and Spring. It can be a good transition through the lands.

Mary Poppins with the Cherry Tree’s in the spring section? Sign me uppppp

I feel like Bambi has to be Spring. Though it's winter segment is also visually stunning too so it could fit in either.

Same with Frozen which could easily fit in summer, winter, or fall tbh. But the snow and ice focus really would feel out of place anywhere other than winter.

Robin Hood could go in any season other than winter. Or as a part of the castle court.

If we are doing a princess crossover ride, I think tht avoiding princesses in the castle court will be smart. Maybe focus on stuff like stores/food and then the Robin Hood shooter ride were were discussing.

London has the cherry trees bloom in Spring. if we put Bambi in winter, Spring could be more Londony with a Mary Poppins ride. Maybe 101 dalmatians, aristocats, great mouse detective, or etc there too. The cherry blossoms would give that land a distinct visual fit to the season.

Oh, good call! I didn't think about the cherry trees in Spring, but that would totally help to place Mary Poppins in that section!

I think Bambi could also reasonably fit in Fall. The movie can pretend deer breed in spring all they want, but in reality deer breed in the fall, so if we wanted to do a Bambi attraction with a big fire scene, it'd make most sense in a fall setting anyway.

Do we have a limit of IP for each season? If not, I think 3-4 would be a god max. It allows each one to have a ride, show, retail, or dining spot.

Plus, if we do Frozen II in Fall, it'd match a nice forest aesthetic.

Spring
- London

Fall
-Autumn Forest

Winter

Summer
- Summer Festival

Somebody suggested Lilo and Stitch to which I respond, YES!!

Perhaps Winter could be something akin to an alpine village, with wooden houses and snow-topped roofs?

For the princess crossover, I think that the facade should be a castle akin to The Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast in terms of size but a color scheme like Snow White’s castle.

For the name, I’m currently leaning towards “Once Upon A Dream” but I’d like to gather some more thoughts.

I worry a second castle directly behind the main one may be a bit redundant. Not sure what else the facade would be though

What if the facade were a magical mountain, or some area that might be regarded with legend?

I agree. I vote no second castle.

I did toy with the idea of a mountain, but I feel like that doesn’t give off the feel we are going for. I’m kinda drawing a blank on what else it could be though.

If we are putting Frozen in Fall (which I get connects with Frozen 2, but still feels really weird to me when the whole franchise is about ice and snoq), then I'm not sure about winter. But if frozen is the anchor for winter than a Norse woodland with a lot of rock work would be lovely.

Maybe the mountain could be built with temple-style structures into it, as if the Princess-in-training had gone here in search of inspiration on becoming a true princess.

What if the facade was a village? Like, false buildings and stuff in front of the show building. The story could be that the "4 Seasons Village" (or whatever) is playing host to each of the Disney Princesses in a Royal Gala put on by Snow White. Each fake building could take inspiration from a different princess (Agrabah for Jasmine, a Chinese Pagoda for Mulan, etc.) it could be like the spires on Hong Kong's Castle, but actually look good

What about the North Mountain for the Winter section though

 

[PerGron]

I think Frozen could be on the cusp of Fall and Winter, but play more heavily into Winter.

For Fall, I think a permanent NMBC mini area (ride, restaurant, shop) could fit pretty well into it (and let @pix get their attraction!)
