When your old Macbook pro decides to work this morning after 4 months of being completely dead .... Saving all your artwork pre September 2016....

@englanddg and @Voxel did I find some throwbacks

Ooh, sudden new idea for improving the Tiki Room even more! @JackWatkinson

Though it's a classic, some think the old 1960s script is a little hokey and outdated. Hence the lamentable Under New Management. I was thinking of how to update the ride/show's script respectfully, humorously, musically, and for the Aussies, and then it struck me...

Flight of the Conchords!!!

New Zealand's brilliant comedy/music duo of Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement. Add their equally hilarious co-stars from What We Do In the Shadows: Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi (director of Thor: Ragnarok). All four are hysterical, and would make wonderful voices for the four emcee birds, plus they're all incredibly talented comedy writers! Thoughts?

Yep that is a fantastic film.

Love the Hinterlands concept. I also think this is a great map. One I'm not sure on is the nighttime show, considering we already have a castle show. Unless this is daytime entertainment or a continuous show like Indiana Jones.

Good point there. I know there was talk of a nighttime show...what if it was a domed theater (or just indoors) to create the nighttime effect -- that way the show can run during the day hours?

Thoughts everyone?

* I don't even think we have confirmed what the show will be...so if you have any suggestions on that feel free!

I think a good idea. Having several of these type experiences spread across the park besides rides gives some variance to the park visit, gets a chunk of people off the paths, and a break from the elements.

I had chance to do a quick look over this morning but I've been extremely busy with life the last two days.

How would this differ from Lost Coast or is it the same thing? I think Arabian Coast could fit because it would go from tropical palms to Arabian palm trees

Agreed. This would be better. I want this to stay.

Yep that is a fantastic film.

I would have no idea. Never heard of it but I trust your opinion.

Star Wars Land maybe?

I love Star Wars hence why I was at celebration at the weekend. I would love this. IF we did this would we go for an original planet or base it on an existing planet like Coruscant, Endor, Mos Eisley on Tatooine or even the new planet for the new SWBF 2 Vardos. Vardos would be interesting as it would all be seen from the point of view of the Empire.

Not to overbear Adventureland -- but I remember a Jungle Cruise through the Outback idea.

If Adventureland is at capacity -- perhaps that could be saved for a 2nd park

I thought about a sort of Indian Jungle theme which is where the Jungle Book is set and would also be able to home to Jungle Cruise.

A lot of what i've seen is great and again @D Hindley the Tiki Room Dark Ride looks incredible and you have done an outstanding job. When I get the time I will post two write ups of Pirates of the Caribbean one based around 'On Stranger Tides' and one a more original plot.

She actually is Hermione and has a time turner I think

If only they had Hermione return that time turner in the movies like she did in the books. And also had it not shown clearly around her neck like in here:

Lots of random thoughts as discussion progresses.

This new entry concept is intriguing. I take it that everything up until guests pass under the train tunnels is going to be themed to old Sydney, and then it transitions to this fantasy forest concept, which quickly passes under some Australian jungle canopy for a grand reveal of the castle and lagoon. Neat! How much is this entry forest going to be shopping-free like DAK's Oasis, or are we going to pepper in shopping and dining elements appropriately without them becoming overwhelming?

For parades in this layout (I think this has been said), how about a circular route around the "hub" lagoon, with parade storage (start and end points) both being up near Fantasyland. Basically, something similar to what I think Shanghai does.

For castle shows (which are an unknown quantity out here in Anaheim), could the castle bulge out more into the lagoon - basically cut the lagoon into like a crescent stage shape - to create more viewable area and more room inside for the castle attractions?

@JackWatkinson, maybe the Jungle Cruise could become the multi-land water transportation attraction for the park's whole west side. In Adventureland it could have additional show scenes, like how the railroad goes to the Grand Canyon and Primeval World, with those scenes in an Indian Jungle Book style like you've proposed. (Favreau's recent live action Jungle Book maybe?)

Villains Land: Dunno where we stand, but I actually think from recent attraction lineups @spacemt354 has provided that we could create even more unique rides and elements. Maleficent thorn maze - like a darker Paris Alice maze. Ursula "monster ride" flat spinner. Dr. Facilier voodoo shop. DeVille Manor fashion store. Chateau Tremaine French dining. Yzma's lab. A whole Pinocchio Pleasure Island sub-area. Hook's Skull Rock. Okay, I'm just freeform rambling again.

Havin' fun!

Wouldn't it be cool if we could put a Pleasure Island area in villains land that is adjacent to the ride in Fantasyland? It would be another transition type area!

I feel like we can sneak in shopping and dining quite easily in this area.... Just make them subtly there.... Maybe hidden in rock formations or in Greek themed Architecture.

For the Lagoon.... I feel like we could also use this picture for some inspiration....

Love this idea! I feel like it would work incredibly well!

I can do that.... Let me edit the area a bit and see if I can add more of your and england's ideas to the entrance.

Love this idea as well!

Sounds odd but maybe we could add a bit of GMR flair to that by having a different "Skipper" take over the boat depending on the land traveled? For example, A Cowboy makes a getaway in Frontierland and steals the boat from the Skipper From Adventureland, The Cowboy gets attacked by something in Pacific Wharf and gets switched out with a Pacific Wharf Captian?

I love your ideas for Villains land, I feel like they could really even out the area.

Since it's connected to Alice in Wonderland, I think a Queen of Hearts Transition could work quite well over there as well.

I feel like we could add something.... Maybe a Pizza Planet/Dave and Busters style Restaurant? Like a ton of Pleasure Island games and such in a Quick Service.

To the amazing @MonorailRed, all these responses are grand ideas.

You see the Fantasia Gardens entry area far more clearly than I did. Mazeltov! Like the subtle shops in rocks and temples and such and maybe also behind waterfalls.

I like going GMR with the transportation Jungle Cruise. Tie it in also with those lands' combined backstories! Do guides have different styles of comedy?

Layout concept: For joining Fantasyland and Villains Land, how many IPs are shared between the lands? Alice has to connect with Queen of Hearts, Pan with Hook, Pinocchio with Pleasure Island, et cetera as needed.

Pleasure Island as a D&B's...I like it! Just as long as their food doesn't transform me into a donkey.

Me too! It would look cool on the coast especially on a boat sailing up towards it.

ENCHANTED TIKI WORLD
Tiki Room dark ride​

(Reimagining the Enchanted Tiki Room from an AA show into a trackless dark ride, while maintaining the original's charm. A fairly tentative brainstorming effort.)

View attachment 200336

From the outside, it seems like the classic Tiki Room. A thatched Hawaiian "Tiki Temple" sits beyond the tiki gardens, full of gentle flowing streams. The barker parrot from Disneyland's first few months is reintroduced to draw guests in. They queue past interactive Tangaroa & Friends idols, pulsing into the hut. Guests inside sit in the "theater-in-the-round" setting, in one of four seating sections facing the center, with sleeping animatronic birds above - the same setup as usual. It's all actually a little disappointing so far, since this room only features the central four (Jose, Pierre, Fritz, and Michael). No other animatronics.

Jose et al start their standard show at a cast member's beckoning. After their usual opening dialogue, the "Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room" song begins...and the four seat sections move - each is a trackless vehicle like Tokyo's higher-capacity Beauty & the Beast variety. (This reveal - it's not a show, it's a ride - is meant to be a pleasant show-stopping surprise.) Cars reverse through what was once a wall, and into the larger interior of the Tiki Temple, built into the side of an ocean cliff. It is here where we reveal the massive cast of singing AA birds in a tropical longhouse setting, complete with Adventurer Club details, plus fun elements like a "living" ship in a bottle, lava lamps, bubbling mai tais, etc.

(Groups of cars will head out into the ride roughly every minute. I picture we would use two separate theater rooms for the start, so one is loading while the other is performing. Timing should be leisurely, allowing guests enough time in each room to enjoy the songs at an appropriate pace. If each car holds 8 (2 rows of 4), and 4 go out at once, hourly capacity should be 1,920.)

Show scenes become dark ride set pieces. The "glee club" chorus of white cockatiels is set on a spinning Bubsy Berkeley fountain stage (in a room full of aquariums and mermaids) around which cars circle. Cockatiels sing "Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing." All throughout the ride, Jose and pals appear, singing and emceeing. Cars spin and they dance tracklessly with the music.

Cars exit the Tiki Temple into the enchanted nighttime jungle, teeming with all manner of exotic bird species. (Easter egg: Up's Kevin). The birds give a Hawaiian luau performance around a fire pit, joined in by animatronic suckling pigs on the serving platters and animatronic fish hooked on lines. Also little animated "dancing hula girl" figurines.

Past tiki torches and past waves crashing on the sandy shoreline. The scent of saltwater. Living, singing orchids and birds-of-paradise perform "The Hula Song." Past palm trees carved into idols. Waterways from the inland pineapple plantations sparkle and dance with Bellagio-style fountain effects.

Through a giant Moai's mouth (Easter Island head). Alongside warm glowing lava flows, where crude tiki statues and Moai all sing the "Hawaiian War Chant." A few statues surf the lava. Ritualistic drumming and dancing! Crescendo! The distant volcano erupts (screen effect). Michael: "The gods have been angered by all our celebratin'."

View attachment 200342

Cars retreat for shelter inside a dreamlike glow worm cavern behind a soothing one waterfall. Amidst beached Kon Tiki boats, the cave glistens and the entire cast - one room filled with over 50 animatronic wonders! - sings us out with a rousing climactic medley. (The exit leads to Dole Whips.)

(I'd considered an alternate version which instead explored the backstory of what magic enchants the Tiki Room, but I've opted here instead for something closer to the original show. Much of the artwork credit must go to our collective muse, @TomThordarson.)

Sooooo amazing!
