Also, it appears that if the Theater of the Stars (Beauty and the Beast Show) was moved or bulldozed, it would open up a decent chunk of land on Sunset Boulevard. It would be great to see some kind of a dark ride there. I always thought the whole theme had so much potential, but half the land was taken up by outdoor theaters. Too bad the Di ck Tracy plans were canned so many years ago.

yea to bad about the di ck tracy plans. It sounded like a cool attraction

btw chek out mi fourm in the imagineering section it's called fixing the disney parks pert 1( typo)- Disney MGM Studios and MK

I'm pretty sure that its the same. I'm trying to find some pics of it.

I came across this (It's a hand drawn one)

Thats my first time I ever posted an image so I don't know if it works. I can't seem to find a pic of dino...Well I guess you can do your own comparison.

Guess what?


Your pic isn't working

I guess I don't know how to. I found it on google so type in "Indiana Jones adventure map." Happy trails.

Ummm.........we don't have the rights to Roger Rabbit anymore, so how could we build a ride on him?

Plus, why would we build Indy, when Dinosaur is the same exact ride, with different sets?


Plus, all the "map ideas" that are being presented show me one thing. Y'all need to hit the studios on New Year's Eve or July 4th. We have to shut down the parking lot now on those days, sometimes putting CMs in the parking garage backstage. All the plans you are showing have a parking lot that is just way too small.


And the idea of the monorail is just insane. Just too expensive now.

Allow me to dismantle & discredit everything you've just said... :lol:

Acutally, we do have the rights to Roger... but anything we build must be approved by Amblin.

Becuase WDI's been planning it for the last eight years. And no one will notice that they are the same layout.

If you look at the map I made, you'll notice it's a parking structure, meaning multi-level. Like, the parking lot will even have more spaces then it does now. Plus I clearly said that it was totally just an idea. Nothing says that will ever happen. It's just a map I did for fun. If you would have read the post, you'd know that.

Insane as it may be, WDI has plans going forward. Go figure. We should hear more on this in 2008.

 

[tomm4004]

I'd be very surprised to see an Indy ride or a monorail extension under current management. Indy and CTX are too similar. Plus, I've read that Tokyo's new coaster dropped the Indy theme due to problems between Disney and Lucas.

As for the monorail I don't think they would spend the money, and I don't think the extensions would eliminate that many bus routes to justify it. I understand they did surveys on whether people would be willing to pay. It would be interesting to know the results. Tokyo is a pay system and it didn't bother me. If they ever did build a new one I imagine it would be a pay system too.

The above statements are based on no facts whatsoever!

:sohappy:

and yea i hope your right.that would be so cool too take the monorail to the other parks and hotels.:sohappy:

 

[Bill]

Hey, I hope my friend's right... otherwise my credibility will go down the drain. lol

And tomm4004, Indy is just fine at DisneySea. Where on earth did you ever hear that?

 

[daksimba]

Where do you get your "information" Bill.

You seem to be posting stuff that nobody, including us CMs, seem to know about as if it is fact, not rumor. No offense, but none of it seems very credible at this point.

 

[tomm4004]

Not the Indy ride. There's a new coaster going in between Lost River Delta and Arabian Coast. I read that initial plans for an Indy theme (for continuity) had been scraped due to the fall out.

I get all my info from an Imagineer I know.

And, not to be rude, but CMs are one of the worst places to get info. You are usually the last to know about anything. Sorry to disappoint you.

And so are Imagineers. They are normally good at getting hopes up because they get info on a lot of ideas, but most of them are nothing more than flights of fancy. But, as things go around, people seem to think that all these things are going to happen.

If an imagineer was ask to investigate the possibility of a theme park on the moon, it would eventually turn into people saying that it was really going to happen, and we will see it by 2025.

I know a few imagineers myself, having been on the Test & Adjust crew at Test Track. They will tell you themselves that most of the ideas they see will never, ever see the light of day.

 

[Bill]

Yep, that's what my friend says. But he said these actually are close to approval, if not approved. So, it's really anyone's guess. But, since there's no real reason to stop, I'll just be like Screamscape and post it all.

 

[tomm4004]

I think posting rumours is fun even if they don't turn out to be true.

For example, I know someone who works at D-MGM in a tech position. He told me years ago that they were building a giant, wooden coaster in the park. Shortly afterward, the Boardwalk opened. Now his rumour could have been the one about building a woodie at the Boardwalk, and perhaps this idea persisted and slightly altered ended up as Screamin' at DCA.

Even Disney announces plans that get squashed. Remember the signs for the David Copperfield restaurant, or the Disney Decade press release that listed the Great Muppet Ride, and the Russian Pavilion, Swiss Pavilion, Plactu's (sp?) Galactic Revue, the ________ Tracy ride and so on?

 

[marni1971]

Tomm4004 is right - this is a rumours board - sounds like its getting too personal or serious!! I hope Bill is right, but if not.. hey!

Anyway, there is the Excavator rollercoaster and Beastly knigdom for AK (featuring a WDI designed twin track suspended rollercoaster based on dragons having a duel), Captain EOs coming back to tomorrowland and the Matterhorn and Fuji mountains will look just GREAT either side of World Showcase lagoon (not squeezing out the Kremlin in Russia, which opened 5 years ago)

And once you have done all this you can stay at Wildernes Junction resort or the Meditteranean Resort! With your tongue firmly in your cheek...

 

[tomm4004]

Agreed. As long as people aren't fabricating rumours out of thin air, I say RUMOUR AWAY!

I remember the old Buffalo Junction that was supposed to be built near the Wilderness Lodge. It's too bad they didn't build it as the DVC instead of having another Wilderness Lodge name. What I'd love to see resurrected is the old Asian Hotel that was supposed to go on the site of the Grand Floridian. It's all in a Thai style and it looks amazing. They could build it near AK to compliment the Asia section.

If I recall, the problems with a Mt. Fuji ride were one, Fuji-san is a sacred mountain, and two Kodak might be upset at the word 'Fuji." Reports also say funding for the Swiss pavilion fell through.

As for the Med Resort, maybe Universal scooped them with the Portofino, unless Disney's was going to be white like Greece. But then they already have the white Grand Floridian. The Med concept did make it to Tokyo with the Hotel Miracosta and Med Harbor at TDS.

And of course Universal scooped them with the dragon thing. I wonder if Disney's version would have been better or worse.

That's only partially true. Universal had a Dragon roller coaster first, but it is nothing like what WDI had up it's sleeve. Disney's coaster was not going to be dueling coasters and was going to feature large dragon AAs. From what it seems, Disney's Dragon Tower attraction has more in common with Expedition: Everest than the Universal roller coaster.
