Thanks brudda, I got some ideas for a mini land! But first, do we think it'd be overkill to a merry-go-round scene and then have a carousel / Dumbo crossover when the horses are the ride vehicles and then they fly upwards during "Let's Go Fly a Kite" or some other sort of climatic song from the movie?
Could be interesting! I'm curious what @kap91 thinks?

As far as I'm concerned this is the time to toss ideas out and get reactions. More ideas the better.Have a lot of ideas that I've taken way too long thinking aboutI love to focus a lot of wording, and that's why I refrain from posting, as I'm afraid that if I don't use the right words, I won't paint the right picture. But since I really want to get back into a groove, I'm gonna just do bullets, and if you guys could just ask as many questions as possible if you like an idea or need me to clarify, that would mean the world!
That's all I have right now, loving everything I'm seeing so far!
- Fantasia should be the castle, in my opinion, but the attraction inside would need to challenge the very term "attraction" as much as Fantasia challenged the term "animated feature." I'll elaborate if you guys like the idea.
- @Brer Oswald You mentioned how you'd hate cutting Pooh from Fantasyland would be a sin, and I know that we as a group had no interest in doing so, but I think it could fit snug in an area around where @kap91 put Pinocchio and Beast. Call it our Forest area, where Pooh and Beast are the northern borders, Pinocchio is the western border, and Snow White is front and center.
- I would love to have Mary Poppins be the theme of the carousel, or maybe not have a carousel... maybe have a new ride system? I have more ideas if you guys would be open for doing something like that! Would a solid C-Ticket do justice to the movie, and / or would having a traditional dark ride and a souped-up C-TIcket be overkill?
- Does anyone have any interest in Frozen? I'm reluctant, as I have no nostalgia for it, but we could always have it be a simple flat ride, etc.
Exactly!

I'm kind of neutral as long as the carousel isn't supposed to be the one from the movie as you pass by that on the ride. I do think sometimes simpler is better though.I agree! @kap91 lmk
I love the idea of the castle being based on Fantasia and having a ride (since there's already room for a ride in the plan! Maybe that could be the more thrilling one too. I don't think having a theater become a ride is feasible for anything other than slow moving attractions (I've been trying to figure out a way for years). But there's definitely a lot of potential for interesting multi-stage attractions like Star Wars is said to be.
I don't know if it's visible but there's already room in the plan towards the bottom left for a Pooh attraction directly across from Alice - which made the most sense to me as they basically take place in the same area and time period.

I love Robin Hood! It was the first movie I ever saw and would fit very well in a Fantasyland Forest setting!Finally Caught up!
I think it's a good start to see where things could be Brer!
I think the Pinocchio ride should be cut in half realistically....unless we're doing this ride on the scope of Pirates or Western River with a huge show building, I don't know what we can do with that much space.
What are the Sword and the Stone and the Robin Hood flat rides? I don't think I saw the ideas for those.
Some of the proportions are a little off for show buildings and spaces.... but I think this could be implemented well as a starting map
I really think Peter Pan has serious potential for Fantasyland! It seems to have it's own Sub-land in the area, which is cool!
I think it'd be awesome to see this really developed well! And I think you'd be awesome to be in charge of that area if you're interested? I think artistically you could really shine with that. You're previous Neverland artwork was really cool!
I had a thought that Sword in the Stone cool make a very cool mini land on its own. The day show of pulling the sword from the stone would up updated and made more realistic, a place to explorer Mwlin's tower and a recreation of Higitus Figitus, and even better, a show featuring the duel between Merlin and Madame Mim.
Also I had a vague idea for a Reluctant Dragon experience.
Hm -- do you have any more thoughts on this one? I'd be curious to hear!
While we're on dragons, did anyone ever think of a Pete's Dragon ride? Not that we have to -- I'm just wondering if it has ever crossed anyone's mind.

I've though of a Petes Dragon Broadway show....I think an invisible dragon is a great conceit for a stage show, many of the songs are perfect stage numbers, the Gorgans are the perfect stage comedy group, and there's plenty of opportunity for wow visuals (Elliot caught under the harpoon net with ropes and people flying about, Pete riding Elliot, storms and rain). In many ways the original movie is really written for the stage. Probably why it found little success as a movie - that kind of over-the-top acting and storytelling never pleases most movie audiences (I happen to love it)Hm -- do you have any more thoughts on this one?

Sadly, I don't think enough people appreciate the original for it to be feasible.
Yeah, sadly I agree too -- I can't see it appealing to the masses in a way that would warrant an attraction. Would be fun though!

The Reluctant Dragon idea would be a cave like area where guests can come in at any point and get like drinks and snacks (think the Horseshoe Saloon, while the dragon recounts stories (with the help of the castmembers) and recite poetry (he can't see to think of a word that rhymes with bananaHm -- do you have any more thoughts on this one?

). Every hour or so, Sir Giles comes calling and wants to fight the dragon. At the end of the day, the place closes down with the dragon breathing "flames" and smoke and cast members urge the guests to leave so the dragon can calm down (think Adventurers Club right before midnight).

@kap91 Is the layout set it stone? The only conflict I have is that I don't see a smooth visual transition from Alice to Pooh... it's architecture I feel would work best in a forest area. If the layout is going to stay put, I won't fuss, but maybe a slight configuration could appeal a little more visually.
@FigmentPigments Love that idea! Would it be practically to find the Ye 'Olde Inn underneath the castle? I suppose that goes instead the whole dungeon theme, but it would let to more being able to be pulled from the short.

Oh it definitely can!
I just said a cave because I didn't know where it would go based on what we have so far and rockwork seemed to be the only safe bet. This idea is totally fluid!

I don't think anything is set in stone right now. I imagine pooh is a continued forest across and down from Alice, and Alice is more of a mansion and lawn that emerges from the forest.

You mean the second Mickey and Donald Animatronics...after the Mickey Mouse revue ones.

Pooh can bleed into Critter Country if it has to.
Or even Frontierland -- I feel like we're going to have a lot of lands
