Am I the only one who immediately looks at the life saver "candles" and thinks about how a wet life saver is sticky and could actually do that (a childhood memory)?

The Hat Goes For a Walk
So, I'm on mobile at a Bon Jovi concert, so this is going to be quick. If I had the mission to move the hat, I would place it where it was meant to be...outside of the park. If they truly wanted to they could leave it as the parks symbol. It would be built on somewhat of a pedastal (actually a building with stairs and pertially below ground). The building would contain a free, no admission version of One Man's Dream, with entrance under the hat.
You are at a Bon Jovi concert? You win. I can't compete with that. <grin>

Challenge 4

My plan will move the hat to a different part of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, into Animation Courtyard. There it will act as the focal point for that land and also act as a facade and entry way to a new ride which replaces The Magic of Disney Animation. The hat is a natural fit in Animation Courtyard as it obviously comes from Disney’s Fantasia, one of the greatest pieces of animation ever.

The Ride: Walt Disney’s Animation

This brand new ride celebrates the great (and sometimes forgotten) animated shorts created by Disney. The ride will be an omnimover dark ride, to add some much needed capacity to DHS, and will feature a preshow that retain many of the interactive parts of Magic of Disney Animation. Each different show scene will represent a different animated short created by Disney. You get to see Mickey steering the Steamboat whistling, to Pete’s much displeasure; Donald Goofy and Mickey struggling to catch the Lonesome ghosts, and the gang chomping away on corn cobs in Mickey’s trailer, among others. The finale of the ride would be from Fantasia when Mickey puts on the Sorcerers hat. This ride would prove to be a favorite among kids as it features many of their favorite characters, funny scenes, and fun music; transforming Animation Courtyard into a must visit at Walt Disney World!
Great idea, that area needs a ride (as it's a shadow of what it was with the two shows and exit from One Man's Dream that are there now!)

Not true. I already knew that. You informed @AllyBaker3, I believe.

And your posts in this thraed are the only thing going on tonight. What else am I supposed to like?
Oh, was that it. I remember telling someone that it was a tooth and not a horn...I could have sworn it was you.

Maybe you were in "costume"? <kidding>

Youz tricking me?

Man, I was getting sleepy, then I started listening to this!

It's on my iPhone playlist for when I'm coding...this is the type of music that gets me going!
Your more then welcome!!!!! I would code to this but I am not allowed internet or a mp3 player or a phone where I do most of my coding.

Actually, I nominate that this be the theme song of the Imagineering forum!

I second this!


Having experienced this on the Fantasy (the picture you posted isn't the Fantasy's version of the restaurant) I can say, wow. Just wow. What a great idea!

This is exactly the sort of restaurant that would draw people to HS, as they would bookmark their day around it, and while I'm personally not a fan of multiple dining rooms (because I ran restaurants, and it's an operational nightmare to even propose that), in this case I think it works extremely well.

Loved it!
Normally I will agree with you but looking at the size under the hat I realized that this just wasn't big enough so I had to go with a multi-room dining facility to handle the amount of guest.

When I was a kid I got to this this and I remember thinking it was real candy.

I am physically moving all my servers tonight (Weds)...I probably will not participate or post for this challenge as I won't have time to work on it.

I wanted everyone to know.

Good luck all!

I am with @englanddg, I might not be able to post its date night and I need to buy shoes and other necessities for an upcoming trip to the world.

Don't worry about it, Have fun you guys!

Critiques

@Voxel - I like how you moved the hat over to the Animation Courtyard. I really think it would fit well.

Your Animator's Palate was a brilliant idea! It really bring that restaurant to the next level. The three different rooms we're good as well. Having a Cars room could be a good transition to Pixar Place! The Audio-Animetronic interaction sounds interesting as well.

Overall, no complaints! I really thought it was a good idea!

@Matt7187 - I like that you added it to Art of Animation! There's never really been a restaurant like that at a "value" resort. Art of Animation has been kinda experimental though, with it's food, it's rooms, and it's large pool. So, if you we're going to bring it to a resort, this would definitely be the place!

Love how you added some greenery and the fountain!

I'm not sure about having a live orchestra, though. It feels a bit much for a restaurant. Also, you may have to re-paint the stars and the ears on the hat to, since Art of Animation's filled with bright colors, just to match. Eh, either of those things aren't that big of a deal.

Overall, Great job! I'd eat there in a second!

@ctxak98 - I love what you did with this! It just screams Fantasia! It's Rainforest cafe like feel sounds awesome to! I like how you had different rooms based on the scenes.

I like what you took for the feel of the place. The special entrance really gives the restaurant a plus. I'm not sure how you'd do it, but it sounds cool!

When you mentioned the ride, all I could think of was this, with boats!



Overall, I loved the idea! It sounds realistic, but imaginative and fun. Great Job!


@jdmdisney99 - Your at a Bon Jovi Concert?! :jawdrop: Automatic Win! (Kidding, but that is awesome! :D)

I thought it was a good idea to move it outside of the park. One Man's Dream would be great in there! It'd bring more room to the park itself to!

Overall, great idea!

@danjen2331 - I hate saying it, but I like how you got rid of the Magic of Disney Animation for an attraction. It's just not like it used to be, and the easels and Animation class at the end is copied from DisneyQuest, and DCA's Character quiz and voiceovers really are better themed then this.

I like how you represented movies from different animated shorts. I think you focused a little to much on Mickey and the Gang though. Even if I love all those shorts, I would've loved to see something more unique in it like some old Silly Symphonies or something.

All in all, I loved the idea!

@englanddg - First off, thank you for calling it the BAH. Just, it needed to be said.

Your right, it's really hard to hide the hat if you move it somewhere at Hollywood Studios. I don't want to be in Epcot and see the Hat in Future World or Mexico or something.

Perfect idea moving it to Downtown Disney. It's fit with all the other massive buildings. It fits with the World of Disney store close by. Plus, the additions you gave it makes it a plus, for the area, and gives the chance for higher quality shows.

The idea of the different shows really brings something to Downtown Disney during the day (If you don't have a ticket to DisneyQuest, that is.) And at night, a night spectacular? Awesome!

The Captain Jack's idea was genius. Turn it into something for viewing!

Overall, Great idea!

@Zweiland - Interesting to turn it into a Parade float. I don't even know how you'd even move it. I like the idea, I just wonder how it'd work with all that weight.

The Routing idea is interesting! The Float and the Nighttime show sound great! But since it would be the biggest parade float in the world, would you be able to see it from Backstage, even when the events aren't going on?

I doubt it'd fit where they'd hide the parade float. I guess you could probably theme something to a huge soundstage, and it'd work. Unless you want it to be shown from Backstage, Or you just plop it somewhere during the day. But, even though it has held up in weather this long, with the float mechanics, it might be hard.

Overall, interesting idea! Not just moving the hat, but actually make the hat move itself!
