Great job! Looks so much different than other castles but fits well with Fantasia Gardens!

Very spur-of-the-moment write-up for a Through the Looking Glass version of an Alice ride, which uses familiar characters and new ones both:Oh nice suggestions! That would be like a sequel if we include new characters from the books -- i'll take a look into them, unless you're more familiar with it and would like to try a brief write up to get us started?
Really well written! Love the different tone as well!Very spur-of-the-moment write-up for a Through the Looking Glass version of an Alice ride, which uses familiar characters and new ones both:
Ride begins inside Alice's manor house, upon trackless chess pawns. They travel through the fireplace mirror into Wonderland, a mirrored version of the prior room. The pawns proceed outside, with a goal (as in the book) to cross all 10 squares of the chessboard (which the gardens resemble) and become queens.

They first encounter the singing flowers as seen in Disney's Alice. (All very much in keeping with the book's plot line.)
Later they meet Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (again, repeated from Disney's Alice), who tell tale of the Walrus and the Carpenter.
Along the way are the Red Queen, White Queen, White Knight - all representing and resembling chess pieces.

Humpty Dumpty celebrates his unbirthday...let's fuse him with the next chapter about the Lion and the Unicorn which allows a raucous return appearance by the Mad Hatter and the March Hare.

Alice/the pawns reach the end, become queens, and throw a party. The Red Queen (who could easily be portrayed by the Queen of Hearts) goes into a familiar uproar until Alice captures her. "Checkmate." Whereupon Alice wakes up.

Throughout, the poem of the Jabberwocky appears as a threat. Jabberwocky - an insect-dragon nightmare monster - never appears in the tale, but he is so, so famous, he would be a wonderful addition & finale!

No Cheshire Cat or White Rabbit or Caterpillar, I'm afraid, but we could figure out how to include them someplace if so desired.
Thoughts?
Pacific Wharf
- Something similar to DHS' Citizens of Hollywood or Knott's "live theater" Ghost Town Live. In Pacific Wharf this would be like Cops & Robbers - Characters from each persuasion roam the streets and try to "recruit" guests. Occasionally they'll run into each other and have minor skirmishes - nothing too extreme, it's Disney!
- Additionally, spilling out of Chinatown is a Chinese New Year Parade, complete with the classic giant dragon (a line of men under a puppet) plus amazing Chinese acrobats and musicians. Maybe this specifically happens a few times a day like the Newsies singers who ride DCA's Red Car Trolley.
- A thought for the west side's watercraft:

Not to directly copy the Mexican Xochimilco boats, but to use something like them (low-slung, high-capacity compared to canoes, more relaxing, more visually exciting). Plus they can carry performers! Fill one boat with musicians who then travel all three lands (AL, FL, PW), playing music which somehow (?!) fits every location.
An A-Ticket designed for Main-Street, but could possibly be adapted for Pacific Wharf.
(It's the A-Ticket)

-------------------------
Frontierland
- An interactive town of "Rocky Ridge" acting as a no wait queue (similar to Jimmy Fallon's ride) but it's an old west town with a ton of interactive elements. Like walking in to a saloon and interacting with Cast while you wait, skits throughout the day, and stuff like that.
- An outdoor Comedy Show in Frontierland. Maybe something involving characters similar to the ones at Hoop-De-Doo or DLRs The Diamond Horseshoe?
- Water fountain show on Geyser Mountain?
----------------------
Critter Country
- Open to suggestions -- options so far have been "roaming characters"
---------------------------
Adventureland
- Some jungle characters by the Tiki Room
- "Wilderness Adventure" sponsored by Dug and Russel (similar to what is at Animal Kingdom)
- Pirates Life, Jack Sparrow Show. Or a Maui character show for Moana.
---------------------------
Fantasyland
- Cinderella Chateau M&G
- Roaming Characters
- something Fantasia related in the gardens?
- Sword in the Stone, walk-around characters
- More Streetmosphere ideas: characters should be entirely streetmosphere outside of Mickey (somewhere on Main St?) and whichever Princesses are in the Cinderella Chateau that day. Even then, I'm open to changing the idea of the Cinderella Chateau into a restaurant and putting a walkthrough in the castle where the restaurant would have gone.
------------------------
Villains Land
- roaming characters
Tomorrowland
- mickeyfan's robot idea
- PUSH?
- Time Characters from FigmentPigments (see below).
--------------------------------------------
I tried to clean up the synopsis of our streetmosphere entertainment options for the park so it's a bit easier to read.
I'd love to see some more eclectic ideas thrown around just so we can have a ton of options to choose from --I'll tag a few people who may not have been following along but might be interesting in offering some ideas/thoughts on this project so far

Good suggestion! Some streetside villain shows would be awesome. And he's a nice pick for sure!We could do so much with Villains Land!!
Is there a character dining option? Villains Land would be a great place for that! And by Villains Academy a street show outside by Dr Facilier??
No you can'tHey @Voxel do you know if you can share a sketchup file with a group for edits?
It'd be cool to have a few people working on the file if it's possible
In addition -- I have some basic ideas to tackle some of the remaining attractions we have yet to write-up just to kickstart us a bit.
@MonorailRed I know is a huge Mary Blair fan and tends to mold her art in that style. Since Mary Blair actually did a lot of art for Alice in Wonderland -- it might be not only nostalgic and original to base the land on Mary Blair's style, but it will give us that "Dr. Strange" style we were talking abou
Imagine these images in a trackless dark ride? Now there's an amazing attraction. All we need is a story that doesn't exactly copy the film. I prefer rides that don't just retell the film, but use the film as a jumping off point to tell a new story.
Maybe something like Alice meets the White Rabbit who's late for a meeting with someone, and you have to speed through Wonderland to get to it. You pass the classic characters from the film like the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts...ultimately reaching the Cheshire Cat? Who the meeting is with?
Just spitballing an idea...I haven't seen this movie in years so I don't remember what the plot even is lol someone who knows it better can for sure chime in if that is too close.

Sounds cool! Though that may best be saved for the 2nd park we are doing -- in terms of big rides this park is kinda full!@spacemt354 What if in a California screaming type ride!!?????
What a bout my mine train? Please respond, rate it????
For spacemt358 ride layout explained
First you roll out of the station and make a left tomb raiders truck slams in to the switch and you "crash" in to an old tunnel a small boost sends you into a helx.
Then on to lift 1 were the track gives way and you go down an expedition Everest sized drop in to a tunnel and around a few curves before "slamming" into a tunnel. Knocking down a lamp, setting off TNT boosting you backwards .
You hit a water tower sending water pouring out in front of you. You then dive in to the next tunnel with a smooth transition from fast to slow. Then launch in to a dark tunnel. And blast on to the finish and roll parts the crashed treasure hunters truck with baby monkeys on it.
THE END
Same here I'll look into the research for it -- but I like the direction it seems to be going and your scene sounds really good as well!I like the idea of not doing a book report for Alice. I think there's enough material there you can use elements from the books/films as suggested and mesh those with a new story/adventure. I'm not as familiar with through the looking glass so will have to do a little research on it. Maybe throw in a shrinking scene with the set pieces are larger scale (ala your singing flowers).
I'll tag some other Hufflepuffs from last year who worked on the Discoveryland project as well!@OvertheHorizon for the attraction across from Adventure in Time in Tomorrowland (Space Base Delta)-- I was thinking of taking some inspiration from your old Hufflepuff Discoveryland project
@mickeyfan5534 had brought up using Figment's time characters -- since a lot of our Tomorrowland deals with time travel, and I was wondering if you had any suggestions based on this project? Which would be best -- or which areas could we adapt and take inspiration from to build an even better attraction?
