I'm thinking that seats are not such a good idea...
But here's my idea for the main entrance (Whats this, like my 3rd one?)
I've adapted one of my old water ride ideas to fit into the main E-ticket ride housed inside the temple/mountain, and have some very colorful pictures half complete, I should (hopefully) have em' up by tommorow evening.
To start off with, you would enter into a cave below the temple, I'm not going to describe the external temple as that will be shown in my picture..
it would start off as a cave, and evetually melt into a tunnel in an old temple, carvings, toppled pillars, the whole shebang. MOving on, you would wind through the line, you would come to a chamber, (this would still be the queue) and the line would circle around a crystal suspended from the ceiling. ABout every 5 mintues, and image would appear in the crystal, the figure would be a woman, dressed in a long priest-like white coat
"Humans, listen to me. You have stubbled into the ruins of our city. When neptune took out his fury on Atlantis, he left nothing as he ripped through our home. We managed to seal a select few of us deeper in this cavern, a crystal key is attached to a boat, just up ahead, this will gives us the power we need to rebuild our civilization. Please, bring it to us. But beware, Neptune will do anything to find the crystal..." the image would then dissapear and you would proceed to the loading area, same setup as Kali river rapids, except for a few MINOR details. First, the boats would not have seats that faced the center, they would all face fowards, second, you would be given 3-d glasses (similar to lab glasses, the kind that are secure behind your ears) The boats would also be loosely connected to a track, which weould keep the boat facing fowards but allow it to rock back and forth through the river. Also, a large crystal would be attached to the front of the boat, rigged so it can light up (Will be needed later) First thing that will happen is that you would enter a chamber, and your boat would begin climbing a lift hill. Screens above you would show sprites (resembling pixies) flying about, (amplified with the help of 3-d) One would speak up in a high pitched girls voice, "Do ou know the story of atlantis?" another would answer,"I don't think they do..." "We should tell them! We should tell them!" an energetic third sprite would say, and then they would begin spinning in circles, faster and faster until a door opens at the top of the lift hill, and into an area that revealed atlantis at its peak beauty, your boat slightly rocking as you float down the river..
"Atlantis was a thriving city...Envy of the Gods.."
the sprite would say, various things would get you wet here, pipes leaking water, sculptures spraying at you...
"One god in partcular, was very envious...Neptune thought that the Atlantians were taking over the ocean..."
Suddenly, you would enter a much darker room, clouds flying overhead, Netune would rise up from the sea, (On 3-d screens) and raise his trident, striking the surrounding town with lighting (ALso 3-d) but the buildings being struck would respond by spewing real flames...SImilar to the way the 3-d screens of spiderman interact with the real world.
"He sent a huge wave of water to destroy the great city..."
Suddenly a huge gush of water would be released, to simulate a tidal wave, at this almost exact moment, you would go down a fall that would lead outside, then back inside the building.
"But we sealed a portion of our city, and have lived here, waiting for someone to bring the crystal to us..." Expecting to see the sprites, instead you would see a priestess,"Thankyou for soming to save us.." she would say, you would be floating around in a circle, so that this scene can be played through without interuption. Suddenly, a loud laughing can be heard, and neptune appears..
"FOOLS! They lead me RIGHT to your hiding place, and now, I can complete the job I started almost a millenia ago!!..And I'll start by destroying that annoying little CRYSTAL!" he turns his attention to the passengers, who go down another steep fall, splashing down and going through turbulent waters as neptune appears on the 3-d screens and attempts to stab, poke, shoot you with fireballs, and other fun things, all seemingly real with the help of 3-d and gadgets in the room... For example..The projected neptune could hit the water with his trident, and real water jets in the river would then spray the guests..
Anyway, soon, you would hear him say
"Enough play, it's time to end this...I'm going to send you and that crystal directly to hades!"
The boat would get on another lift hill, and at the top he would be projected on a screen, Neptune creates a portal to hades, that spins, and makes it seem like he is levitating you up to the portal, when in reality, it is just a lift hill..Once you get close to him, the crystal suddenly begins to glow brightly...
"No..NO..NO...!!!!" He yells as mysteriously, the crystal banishes him into his own portal, and right before your boat reaches the portal, it dissapears, but then, a door opens, and you take a nice, long, wet plummet down, ending the ride with a splashing finish!
At the end, you would see an AA of the priestess standing there, she would lean down, dipping a staff near the crystal, both would glow, as if she was charging her staff.."Thankyou, Atlantis is forever in your debt...she would wave her staff, and it would be revealed that the entire room is screens (Like circlevision) and you would see atlantis rebuilt all around you in 3-d.then, you would sail through a hole (built to look like a tunnel) in the screen, and into the loading area...
Whatya think?
