Weather is a good theme! Call the ride “Geo: Patrol of the Sky”, and feature different weather phenomena as riders ride. Thunderstorms, cyclones, hailstorms. Make it a flying coaster or a floorless coaster too.

Attention, soldier. You've just been assigned to a highly dangerous, top secret operation, codenamed ALIEN Escape. Report to
Íroes Station on Sunset Boulevard as soon as possible to receive your orders. As you make your way through the military base you'll learn about your mission. A research team sent to the surface of a small mountainous planet named Costaguana has gone missing, and it's up to you and your fellow troops to uncover what happened. The military suspect that the mysterious xenomorphs might be responsible, as satellite footage has shown that they're present on the planet.
Your last stop before boarding is a lab, where objects that have been recovered from encounters with these aliens (props from the films) are being analyzed. After a quick safety spiel from the man behind the mission, you'll board your scout ship. Surrounded by invisible domes, these lightly armed, lightning fast craft are designed to get you in and out as quickly as possible, but they're not intended for heavy combat. Each ship is split into four rows which seat two soldiers each.
After being wished good luck, you'll take off. You build up enough speed to catapult into space, heading through a swirling tunnel. You soon arrive on the barren planet, where the team's ship and scientific equipment have been abandoned. Their trail leads into a pitch black cave, which the scout ships cautiously fly into. Your ship fires a flare to light up the den, revealing nothing but a few insects and shrubs. With renewed confidence, you head forward...only for a dead body to fall down from the ceiling, right next to your ship.
The body has been picked clean and is being held up by a thick layer of resin...the kind that xenomorophs produce. You head past the corpse, deeper into the cave. Soon enough, acid begins to drip down from the ceiling...followed by a xenomorph emerging from the shadows above you and letting out an angered hiss. You race past the creature, taking sharp turns and going down steep drops to evade it, but different xenomorphs attack at every stop.
You eventually reach what seems to be a bottomless pit as xenomorphs crowd around your ship. With no other option you take the plunge, dropping 110 feet into the darkness. It's here that you reach the deepest part of the cave. All of the scientists are dead but one, who begs for help before a chestburster rips through them and screeches. The ship then shoots backwards, heading out of the cave as fast as possible. It pulls out as what seems like an army of xenomorphs approach.
You're saved in the nic of time by reinforcements, who bomb the caves and set fire to the beasts before they can turn you into a host. You return to the base as your supervising officer solemnly thanks you for your heroism. He says that while they lost good men, their sacrifices were not in vain, as the xenomorphs that slaughtered them will plague Costaguana no more. As you exit, he assures you that if they ever come into contact with xenomorphs again, you'll be the first person they call...

18 Day Streak
25 Day Goal
Previous challenge: We explored the concept of hypercossters at Disney parks. Props go to the Alien coaster by Imagineer Sroo, and a weather-based coaster at Epcot. Both were very inventive, and combined Disney and hypercoasters in the best possible way.
Buckle up, as our next challenge will-
“BREAKING NEWS! The ex-Paramount Parks Chain has been sold by Cedar Fair to none other than world-class game developer SEGA, who plan to fill the parks with their IP and new experiences alike. Sonic, Puyo, Persona, Yakuza, Bayonetta, Streets of Rage...”
In other words, our challenge will be to retheme (at least one of) the five former Paramount Parks (Great America, Kings Dominion, Carowinds, King’s Island, Canada’s Wonderland), in their entirety, to SEGA. Any SEGA IP is usable, but Sonic must NOT be restricted to the former Snoopy areas. In fact, only Classic Sonic can be used in the Snoopy areas, not modern/Dreamcast. Think other kid-oriented/friendly IP for those, such as Alex Kidd, Super Monkey Ball, Billy Hatcher, etc. for those regions.
Let me start with Great America because it is closest to where I live. Flight Deck becomes After Burner (Complete with theme song!), Demon becomes Altered Beast, and Psycho Mouse becomes Crazy Gadget from Sonic Adventure 2 and is now enclosed, and that’s just on the top of my head. Lucy’s Crabbie Cabbies becomes Super Monkey Ball, Peanuts Pirates is rethemed around Puyo’s Suketoudara, etc.

I'll admit, I don't know much about any of those park.
But a Test Track style ride themed to Crazy Taxi that weaves around a Sonic Adventure/City Escape roller coaster would be amazing.

I'm still trying to finish reading Younger's Theme Parks manual/textbook. Great fun read. Having worked in a Spy themed bar/restaurant doing the technical gadgets all around the place for themeing, its a great read for me and makes what Disney Imgaineers do so fun to puzzle out and think about. I may have to take a gander over that link.In case anyone missed it, the One Little Spark Competition is starting up soon!
One Little Spark- Season 2: The Quest for More Views Hype Thread
One Little Spark Season 2: The Quest for More Views --Overview-- The One Little Spark Competition is returning for a whole new season with whole new challenges and while new judges! @PerGronStudio and @Outbound have stolen the Dreamfinder's Ship,which can take that one little spark of...forums.wdwmagic.com
This is a fantastic game for newer members because it's shorter, non-eliminations, and set up to practice different parts of armchair imagineering. A really great game, especially if you are interested in playing in some of the larger scale competitions that usually happen in winter and/or spring.
The game mixes bigger challenges where you work with a team and smaller challenges where you work individually.

19 Day Streak.
Goal = 25 Days.
Well, Cedar Fair’s not going to be a subject any longer, I guess.
Last time, our challenge was to retheme the Paramount Parks to SEGA. Very few things were submitted to this challenge. Most of them followed my ideas of tackling the Paramount Parks coasters with Sega motifs. Not a very fruitful challenge. So for this next one, it’s back to Disney as usual.
Today, we must craft our own child-friendly Moderate Resort at WDW!
I guess Figment’s Imagination Institute Hotel could result in some really creative food and overall shape to this new resort. Or maybe a Muppet Studio Hotel?

It was interesting! I’m just only familiar with Worlds of Fun and haven’t played Sega in two decades
sorry! You guys did great, though. And I’m game for both hotels you mentioned! Two of my faves!

lol non-Disney/Universal projects can be tough because a lot of people aren't as familiar with them. Its fun to do in larger games like One Little Spark or Sorcerer's Apprentice where you can take a whole day just to research, but can be tough to do in something like this where we only have a day. Maybe something more vague like "Create a new heavilu themed ride for an Ex-Paramount Park to compete with the Justice League ride at Six Flags" or "Sega is making a deal with the non-Disney/Universal park of your choice, what's the first thing they build." It's always a tough balance in threads like this between finding creative and unique prompts and accessible prompts. You've been doing amazingly so far!
For today's project, I'm gonna add a 4th All Star Resort.
All Star Games.
Have courtyards themed around Disney stuff like Kingdom Hearts (Destiny Islands Pool) and Fix-it-Felix Jr/Sugar Rush. Plus make some deals for properties that seem Disney-esque. Stuff like Minecraft and Sonic (they've worked with Sega before). Maybe even a Final Fantasy building (Ignus restaurant serving grilled Chocobo, Blitzball set up in the pool, stuff like that)

Oh. Anyways, got another entry?
I could see a Fantasy Faire Hotel working, especially if we also include Hercules or something in addition to the Princesses.

- Yes
That could be cool!
I also really liked the Muppet Hotel idea. Just seems perfect. I'm really hoping the Disney+ series will renew public interest in the Muppets again.
My idea would be the Society Hotel. A S.E.A. themed hotel with a vaguely Adventureland/Steampunk aesthetic. Perhaps an Adventurer's Club inspired dinner show. A museum of artifacts from around the world (many cursed). A tone of easter eggs and references for Disney parks fans.

Last time, we explored the concept of a new moderate hotel that appealed more to children than prior ones. Examples included a few based on Park-specific IP such as Figment or SEA, one based on Muppets, and a Moderate All-Star Resort about Video Games.
Today’s prompt:
For today’s prompt, we have to integrate a pre-existing restaurant chain into a Disney park, similar to how DAK has a Rainforest Cafe. What would work? What would fit best? I think Hollywood Studios having a Planet Hollywood would be a good idea.

Maybe a Hard Rock Cafe near RNRC? (If it doesn’t get rethemed?)

Ooooh a very interesting one...
I used to love the McDonald's connections and would love to bring that back. They had a similar attitude as a company.
I would love Chic-fil-a because they have such a similar "high quality and guest comes first" mindset. Though I know chic-fil-a is kinda controversial right now (even if the contorversy is very overblown if you actually research it), so I don't see Disney teaming up with them beyond having a restaurant in Celebration.
I'd love to see Blaze Pizza take over PizzaRizzo. Get 2 or 3 lines instead of the one they have at Disney Springs to help handle the crowds. Finally have some good pizza in that restaurant lol
