Cinemagine Studios Buildout: Marvel Metropolis

[Lord Fozzinator]

Some of you may have noticed that I already did Hollywood studios for my first couple of posts. Well I am redoing it with my new knowledge and expertise.

 

[Lord Fozzinator]

CineMagine Studios
“Welcome one and all, to Cinemagine studios. A place where you can witness the making of the movies and living inside the movies. This park is how Walt Disney made Snow White to how George Lucas made Star Wars. You can explore the glitz and glamor of the golden age of Hollywood to the jungles of South America with Indiana Jones. This park is the best of both MGM studios and Hollywood Studios to make a great park that all ages can enjoy.”

Hollywood Boulevard

As you get closer to the park, you can see flashing lights and a looming abandoned hotel over the rest of the park. A large park area surrounds 3 large planters, small planters have topiaries of famous Disney characters. As we approach the turnstiles, you can see 3 large planters in the center of the entrance. The left planter has the original logo for MGM studios with several filming equipment surrounding the logo. The right planter is the logo for Hollywood Studios with IP surrounding the logo such as the millennium falcon. In the very center of the planter is the logo of Cinemagine Studios, we see Mickey and Walt Disney with filming clothes on standing in front of the original Disney studio, with filming equipment and IP around the logo.

As we go through the iconic turnstiles, we enter the glitz and glamor of the golden age of Hollywood. In front of us, looming over the entrance is a tall building that has Mickey walking on top of the world. To the right is a gas station where you can purchase strollers to transport your kids around. To the left is an art shop where we can purchase different types of Disney inspired paintings. Also in the building is a station for the tram tour throughout the park, the tram also stops at the Horror Backlot, Pixar Studios, and MickeyVille. Through the scenes of the tram tour is a look on how our favorite movies from Star Wars to Pixar. As we go further down the boulevard, we go under a stained glass roof with different designs based on movies and large chandeliers depicting movies. We can go inside several stores themed to iconic buildings from the golden age of Hollywood, the stores sells CineMagine Studios and Movie merchandise. As we enter a large plaza, with a large park offering shade from the sweltering sun. The Brown Derby is a table service restaurant that is themed to the iconic dining location, the restaurant sells a wide variety of foods from the original location, inside the restaurant is a large wall that has different pictures of celebrities. Outside of the brown derby is the residence of Walt Disney, when you go inside, you can go inside the different rooms of the house. There is a large amount of Mickey Mouse and Disneyland memorabilia around the house. To the left is a large movie theater where you can watch either the latest Disney movies to the most iconic movies.

Ramen’s Chinese Theater stands proudly against the rest of the land and the central icon of the park. As we walk through the outside queue, we go through a park area as we get closer to the theater. As we go inside we can see movie posters for the most iconic movies from Star Wars to Marvel. As we enter the loading area, we board our vehicles as we begin our journey through the movies. As we enter our first scene, we enter a world of black and white bars we see the silent film From The Earth To The Moon. We see a large projectile loaded into a cannon and shot at the moon as we pass the damaged moon. We enter the world of Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. We go through the factory as we see the oompa loopas going to work. We enter an abandoned alley as we enter the world of Bonnie and Clyde. As they enter our vehicles and they will accompany us through the rest of the ride, as they start a shootout with other gangsters. We enter the Wild West as we enter the movie A Fist Full Of Dollars, we enter a western shootout as Bonnie and Clyde fight the bandits. We enter a hotel on the side of the mountain, as we enter the world of The Shining. As we go through the halls, we see the twins and Johny breaking down the door saying his iconic phrase. We enter a pirate town as we enter the world of Pirates Of The Caribbean. We go through a ship battle and see jack sparrow fighting off pirates. We go through temple ruins as we enter the world of the African Queen. We see them going down the river in their boat.

We see the dwarfs heading to work and Snow White in the cottage cooking. As we enter the greatest movie of all as we enter the world of Wizard Of Oz. We enter the town as we see the wicked witch melting and all 4 of them heading to the castle and the throne room. As we get off the ride we can see different exhibits based on different movies that were not covered in the ride.

As we continue to go right, we enter the original Disney studios, a great lawn is in front is the Mickey studios. To the left is Walt Disney Presents, a walkthrough through the accomplishments of Walt Disney through the making of Disney to the opening of New Tomorrowland. To the right is a stage show based on the making of Disneyland. The show starts with someone playing as Walt Disney coming on stage and talking about Disneyland. We then see Disney telling people about Disneyland but people are telling him that it would be a failure. We then see the making of Disneyland and the possibility that Disneyland would fail. We then go through the history of Disneyland from New Tomorrowland to the Worlds Fair attractions. We then see the planning for Disney World and the passing of Walt Disney. Looming over the land is a large hill that has the Hollywood sign on top of it.

In the center of the land is the original Disney studios, this is The Walt Disney Story, a Omni mover dark ride. As we enter the studio, we go through the different rooms of the studio from the ink and paint department to the storytelling room. As we enter our vehicle we go through the early life of Walt Disney from his birth in Illinois to him moving to Kansas City. We see him delivering newspaper and him going to electric park. We then see him growing up and moving to California. We see him join a studio but eventually leaves and creates his own studio. We then see the making of Oswald and the idea of Mickey Mouse.

What do you think @MickeyMouse10

 

[The Great Gonzo]

Whoa "The Shining"! I was completely not expecting that dude. I'd love to see those creepy twins standing at the end of the hallway with their blank expressions. They'd really freak people out, including me.

“Come and play with us, forever… and ever… and ever”

No thank you, I gotta go. ... I think I hear my mom calling me.

Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost

As we leave the golden age of Hollywood behind, we enter the jungles of South America. This land is based on the making of the Indiana jones movies and the production of adventure movies. A large lake is in front of us with large and thick jungles. In the middle of the lake is geysers that occasionally go off to perform a show to the iconic Indiana Jones theme song. To the right is an authentic South American marketplace. In the marketplace place is where local street vendors sell their goods and we can purchase Indiana jones merchandise, also replicas of artifacts and jewelry are also sold. Each store offers unique Indiana jones merchandise and locals perform different acts based on the movies. To the left is an outpost, where you can meet Indiana jones and characters from the film, once you go inside the outpost you can see exhibits based on the films. Inside of the rooms is where you can meet the iconic characters with sets behind them based on different movies. Going past the marketplace is the Cinematic History Museum, exhibits based on the history of Indiana Jones. As we go through the halls of the museum, different exhibits based on iconic movies based on the lost arc and the last crusade. In the center of the land is a large canyon with temples in the process of being built, to the right of the canyon is Fortune and Glory. Fortune and Glory is a counter service restaurant where you can dine in different rooms based on the movies. Around the room are props from that particular movie. Inside of a temple is an escape room called Lost City, based on the traps in the movies. As we enter the room, we have to solve different puzzles as the walls start to close in. The escape room requires teamwork to solve the puzzles to escape the room.

Indiana Jones: Cinematic Stunt Show is a stunt show in the original location of 50s prime time cafe. As we get in our seats, a host explains how action movies are made, as the host finishes talking the stage turns into a backlot with filming equipment and sets getting rolled in. A skilled performer gets on stage as Indiana jones and shows how he uses his iconic whip against different masked opponents. Performers get on stage and show the planning for stunts, as they are done with the planning they perform different stunts from the movies. We are then told how sets are made before they begin to construct different sets from the movies. Performers get ready to start a car chase, as performers get into cars to start the car chase. As they start the chase, one of the trucks flip over as it catches on fire. We see performers chasing other performers as they run across the rooftops. They then perform acrobatics through the air and land safely on an airbag. The audience then votes on what stunts they want the performers to do, it ranges from safe stunts to really intense stunts. Pyro and special effects are shown, it also goes through how they are made. A grand finale has begun, it combines all the previous events and the stunts that the audience voted for. As we leave our seats, the cast bids us fair-well as we leave the stunt show.

Temple Of Adventure is the E ticket of the land. We enter the pre built temple ruins. We enter an archaeological base camp inside of a canyon as we get closer to the load area. We enter the pre show as an animatronic Indiana jones tells us that we are going on an expedition in the jungle. As we enter the load area, we are surrounded by soundstages and filming equipment. As we exit the load area, we enter a soundstage which replicates a film set. It combines physical affects and projections to simulate the film experience. We can interact with live actors who are playing the characters and see them performing stunts, they could also be picked to be a part of the sets. We enter a set which showcases the use of special effects, surrounding us is pyro effects and explosions. We enter a high speed car chase as we make a sharp turn to avoid hitting a wall. We enter a stunt rehearsal as we see live actors performing stunts, using special effects . This portion is dedicated to the skill that is required to be a stunt performer. We enter the finale of the ride as we enter a large chamber. We see a combination of all previous events using special effects and live performers. After we off the ride, we can enter a Q&A with the live performers and producers of the films.

Temple Run is a coaster based on making the movies. We enter a studio workshop, different set pieces and artifacts from the movie is all around the workshop. As we enter our vehicles, we get into a launch tunnel as we zoom off. We experience near misses and evasions, replicating Indy’s iconic whip. We go through twists and turns as we go through narrow gaps. We take part in a high speed chase, we take twists, turns, and drops around a jungle. We then see trucks and cars racing against us as we go down a big drop. We then see different stunts themed to different movies, we take twists and turns around different sets. We then enter a cave, we then see the iconic boulder scene. We quickly start to go in reverse as the boulder approaches us, we make a quick turn to the left. We run across the rooftops as we see people chasing after other people. We then go up and down as we simulate jumping from rooftop to rooftop. We slow down to use devices to choose how the story goes. We then go up a lift hill as thematic music starts to play as we approach a drop. We plunge down and go between temple ruins and the South American jungle. We exit the ride as we enter exhibits based on the film making experience.​

 

[MickeyMouse10]

I love the names, they really seem to fit the attractions and quick service. It's cool how you really went with the movie studio theming as well. Disney could learn a lot from guys like us.

 

[RunForestRun]

Not too shabby kiddo.

The left side probably needs the most help at Hollywood. That and Production Central or Mickey Avenue. Whatever they're calling it nowadays. Where Launch Bay unfortunately still sits.

 

[Lord Fozzinator]

Well Originally I wanted to make it part of a Pixar land but I decided to have a Walt Disney area instead

ChillThrill Studios

The lush rainforests of South America are replaced with apartment buildings and houses of the quaint Texas town of Willowbrook. The buildings appear to be decayed and abandoned, the inhabitants appeared to have just disappeared. We can hear creepy music playing, we see monsters roaming the streets, and the building sets about to fall down. When we go left, we see a large asylum, theater, and diner. Going past the asylum, we see an abandoned theater where you can watch some of the most classic horror movies. As you enter the abandoned theater, you are offered popcorn and a drink as you are going to be staying here awhile. As you get into your seats, a selection of classic horror movies and documentaries on those horror movies are shown. Inside the diner is Goosebumps Cafe, a counter service restaurant where you can dine in different rooms based on goosebumps. The rooms will be themed to Slappy, the werewolf of fever swamp, the abdominal snowman, the praying mantis, the evil mask, and a nightmare on clown street.

Inside of the asylum is a walkthrough. We enter the reception area as we can see filming crews filming a scene for an upcoming horror movie. We go through the halls of the asylum as we can see inmates in their cells as they bang on the doors, trying to get out. We enter a graveyard, where we can see fake tombstones and trees. Zombies start to make their way out of their graves and start to approach guests. We enter an arcade area, where we can see haunted arcade machines messing with players, making them lose on purpose just for the fun of it. We enter a haunted house where we can see ghosts and fouls roaming the halls of the house. We enter a circus where we can see several circus performers performing their acts and just being terrifying.

A large soundstage looms over us as horror props stand in front of us, this is Nightmares Unleashed: The Director’s Cut, a motion simulator replacing star tours. We enter a horror backlot, with abandoned props and set pieces littering the area. As we enter the soundstage, we can see that it is abandoned for quite some time, with moss growing on the walls and filming equipment seemingly never touched. As we go through the soundstage, we see several exhibits based on making horror movies. As we get into our seats, we put on VR headsets to make the attraction a lot more immersive. We enter a valley full of sets from different horror movies from haunted houses to abandoned asylums. We enter a corridor with several windows, with every window you pass a jump scare occurs with a variety of different characters. We enter a dressing room, where we can see different actors putting on their makeup and costumes. As we enter the finale of the ride, the horrors reach their peak. The jump scares become more frequent, the costumes getting scarier, and the sets becoming more decrepit. As we enter the unload area, we exit into exhibits based on the making of horror movies.

As we go right, we can see the facades of the apartments start to transition into the neighborhood of the town. We enter the suburbs of the town, with 4 houses standing in order and a large mansion on a hill looming over the neighborhood. The houses can be explored with different horror movies. The houses are themed to Friday the 13th, Scream, Nightmare On Elm Street, and Halloween, inside of the houses are exhibits based on the making of the movies, meet and greets with different characters can also be found in the houses. Inside the abandoned mansion are exhibits for the most well know horror movies that were not covered in the houses and a documentary of the production of horror movies. Inside of a soundstage is the first stop of the Studio tour, the train of Cinemagine park.

We see an abandoned train station with a flipped over train in front of the building. This is Realm Of Shadows: Behind The Screams. We go through the yard in front of the train station as we go under the flipped over train. As we go through the train station, we can see the different rooms of the train station. As we enter our seats, we can see different environments passing by us. We can see filming for different horror movies taking place at iconic sets. We can see different storyboards for horror movies and meetings with directors, actors, and writers. We can see different practical effects happening, we see prosthetics being put on actors and animatronics being filmed in the movie. We can see different sets and environments being built and filmed. We see iconic environments such as haunted houses and graveyard being filmed. We enter the climax of the horror movie, we are in the midst of a horror movie finale with prosthetics and an eerie environment. We exit into a gift shop where we can purchase horror movie merchandise.​

What do you guys think

 

[MickeyMouse10]

I like it a lot, the idea of ChillThrill definitely makes it really different than the other parks. I doubt Disney would go for it, but it would bring in a whole new fanbase for Disney. That don't usually go to their parks. I'm just not sure if they want to risk alienating their usual family friendly audience though.

Awesome, Awesome idea though.

 

[Lord Fozzinator]

This land is not going to feature gore or missing limbs, rather it will showcase how horror movies are made. Minus the gore and missing limbs.

Muppets Courtyard

As the abandoned sets of ChillThrill studios fade away, a certain wackiness has taken over the area. We see buildings being held together by planks of wood, the iconic muppet show theme plays, and we see the muppets performing in the windows of the land. To the left of the courtyard is several balloons themed to different stunts made by Gonzo. This is Gonzo’s Great Balloon Frenzy, a parachute jump-style ride. We board balloons themed to different stunts performed by Gonzo. The balloons are themed to him catching a bowling ball, him eating a rubber tire, and him shooting himself out of a cannon. We enter a movie backlot with soundstages and filming equipment, but the studio has been infected with a certain wackiness that only the muppets could create.

We see a large brick theater that has muppets memorabilia posted all over the theater. Inside of the theater is Muppet Vision, a 3D show. We enter hallways themed to the muppets as we enter the entrance of the movie theater with popcorn stands and posters based on different muppet movies. As the pre show begins we see Sam Eagle come on screen and tell everyone what can be expected of the show. He reads some safety instructions before he is pushed aside by Fozzie as he performs some “jokes” as Sam gets shot by a cannon. Fozzie tells everyone to get in theater as the show is about to begin. As we get in our seats, Stalter and Waldorf say some commentary about the show as the Swedish Chef man’s the camera. The show begins as Kermit takes us through the studios as muppet wackiness takes place. We then see miss piggy sings a song, by singing I mean breaking every single glass piece in a 5 mile radius. Gonzo then performs some stunts as he works with other stunt performers to perform the greatest stunt ever. He fires himself into miss piggy as they crash into the dressing room and into a buffet that serves bacon and pork chops. The penguins and the electric mayhem then perform several old songs, but immediately runs away as a modern song starts to play over the radio. We then see a muppet finale with the iconic arches as every muppet starts singing, but everyone starts falling out of the arches as the studio collapses on itself. We then see firefighters enter the scene as Mickey Mouse sits on the fire truck, but turns out to be Waldo. We exit into the history of muppets courtyard and the original attractions planned.

A large wooden structure that has a ballon on top of it. This is Statler and Waldolf Hot Air Balloon, a balloon tour. We go up a wooden staircase until we get to the roof of the theater. Was we get into our hot air balloon, we see Statler and Waldolf sitting on a chair. As we go higher and higher, they give commentary on muppets courtyard and the muppet show. The hot air balloon give’s magnificent views of Cinemagine Studio and the surrounding area. We exit into an elevator and go down to the exit of muppet vision. In the center of the courtyard is a science laboratory, this is home to Beaker’s Bouncing Beakers. We enter a science laboratory where we can see a whole slew of experiments. As we enter our seats, in the center of the laboratory we see Beaker and Bunson Honeydew performing experiments as animatronics. As we bounce around in beakers we see flashing lights and loud sounds as they perform experiments. We bounce more as the experiments get more intense and the laboratory starts to shake. We then take one final bounce and the ride ends as we exit the laboratory. Miss Piggy’s Culinary Extravaganza is a counter service restaurant. We enter a grand palace as we see chickens bring out food for guests. Occasionally Miss Piggy will perform a show for guests but as always things will go wrong as the studio façade collapses on miss piggy. Meet The Muppets is a walkthrough and meet and greet based on the muppets. We enter exhibits based on the making of muppets movies and recreations of muppet movie sets. We can meet Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, and Swedish Chef.

A large factory looms over the land with visual gags going in and out of the factory. We enter hallways that have muppet posters and filming equipment as we get closer to the load area. We enter a casting area where different muppet characters. We see random equipment exploding and objects flying in the air as the muppets audition for their roles. We enter a stunt area where gonzo is performing stunts. We see gonzo firing himself out of a cannon, then he tries juggling bowling balls, and he rides off into the sunset and crashes into a billboard. We then see miss piggy perform a musical number in a swamp. We see alligators circling around her as she rides on a boat getting closer to a waterfall. The crew starts to warn her but she doesn’t care, she then falls in the waterfall, looney toon style. We enter a comedy show with fozzie. We see fozzie pulling out cream pies and silly string, we see him hurling a pie at gonzo but ends up hitting piggy. He runs way as piggy chases him holding a chainsaw, he throws different props at her. We see Kermit trying to direct the movie but fails miserably. We see all the characters trying to perform but failing miserably. We see the sets falling down, people falling over each other, and filming equipment exploding. The premiere of the muppet movie, we see all the characters sitting down and falling over each other. We see the results of the movie with the audience as a news cast turns on. We see that the reviews aren’t good but Sam eagle comes on air and calls him unpatriotic as he brings out another graph. We enter the unload area and see different props used in muppet movies.​

What do you guys think

Looks great, I can tell by your name you're passionate about this section.

 

[The Great Gonzo]

Us muppets got to stick together, good job. Disney should show more respect to them in their own park. I don't understand what their fricking problem is.

 

[Lord Fozzinator]

I don’t know either

 

[The Lochness Monsta]

I don't like that they seemed to take Grand Avenue away from them. That could have been Muppet too. A total missed opportunity.

 

[Lord Fozzinator]

What do you think of the park @Snow Queen 83​

 

[Miru]

I don't like that they seemed to take Grand Avenue away from them. That could have been Muppet too. A total missed opportunity.

And there’s no presence in DLR at all these days beyond the odd bit of merch. Critter Country would have been great to add them.
