Avengers Campus: E-Watch! (Waiting on the new ride)

[mickEblu]

Because the story takes place on land and UNDER the sea?

Well tell Tony Baxter that.

While true, I feel an outdoor wild mouse coaster would greatly diminish the atmosphere in that part of the park. My vote would be to keep Redwood Creek or keep it until you absolutely need that land and use it for something like a suspended Up D ticket or combine it with Mermaids space for something grander. Up makes a lot of sense at Grizzly Peak and DCA in general. Would be a very welcome addition to the park. In a way, I’m glad they didn’t go with Coco as a suspended ride which would have made for sense for the IP as if we’re going to get any new suspended dark ride in general UP is the obvious choice.

Up doesn't really fit as they travel to South America, not the California Redwoods. Maybe if you wanted to do an Up overlay to Soarin' where Carl takes us around to see the world, but that doesn't sound worth the trouble to me.

Not sure how Up would fit at all unless they ditched the premise of the film and just made a random ride about the Wilderness Explorers, but that sounds way too deep cut for an attraction beyond a play area.

The wilderness explorer angle is just a starting point for an adventure to the locales, story beats from the film. Not sure how or why that wouldn’t work.

Well, if they want to do an inside/outside coaster in the woods, there's another option.

You are one of my favorite new posters here Dr. Starlander but I'm going to have to disagree that the Grand Californian (and I assume by extension Grizzly Peak?) is not transportive. You are transported to a National park. Thats not something people see every day (or ever) and it's very immersive. Like 360 immersive. And it's beautiful full of trees and has rushing water. I believe it (and by extension the Grand Californian) is one of the most transportive lands in the resort actually. Much more than something like Avengers campus. That business park/ college campus or whatever that is supposed to be is uninspired and imagery we see everyday. Maybe you mean to say transportive to another to another time/ place? Or other worldly?

I get what you're saying, the area is beautiful, but yes I meant transportive to another time/place or other worldly or something uniquely owned by Disney (essentially nearly all of DCA started out "public domain" and replicating things within a few hundred miles). And I share your opinions on Avenger's Campus and have posted quite a bit about that underwhelming office park aesthetic (I photoshopped a Boeing logo on Infinity Defense, probably in this thread up above, to make the point it belongs in any office park!)

If you like Grand Californian's arts and crafts aesthetic and you want the no-crowds (although less "grand") version, when we go to San Diego we sometimes stay at the Lodge at Torrey Pines and it's pretty cool.

That looks nice.

I don’t particularly care for the aesthetic - from the outside at least. I think the inside of the Grand is very nice though. Above all, I appreciate Grizzly Peak and the Grand Californian as a whole. The Grand lodge nestled in the Forest/ National Park.

If Ip-ifying Grizzly Peak is inevitable (and it probably is) I think Country Bears and UP would be a great way to go. Would keep the look/ feel of the land for the most part and add some beloved IP. Country Bears River Revue and an Up suspended D ticket over at Redwood Creek.

Still not sure why we would be flying to South America and Paradise Falls in California. Maybe an Up darkride in Pixar Pier as it's a California seaside carnival using Pixar IPs. Not sure if PP has the room for another attraction though.

What’s the difference between this and Soarin? You’re taking off from Grizzly Peak/ California and flying to Paradise Falls.

Soarin' isn't a narrative, it's like an evolution of circle vision. And you would soar over California.

An Up ride would be tied to the narrative of an old man who flew his house to South America. Kevin and Doug are big characters and tied to that Paradise Falls narrative.
