Dark Ride based on anything for a Disney Park ( Blue Sky)

[jeanericuser001]

True, but a more permanent Nightmare Before Christmas ride wouldn't hurt. Besides, I feel like you could capture a good difference in feel between them. While Haunted Mansion Holiday leans hard into the twisted christmas imagery (which it does quite well, I'll add), a dark ride based more specifically on the movie could take riders through the world of Halloween Town and feature the classic music from that movie.

And yeah, a Jungle Book dark ride would be a natural fit for Animal Kingdom.

Technically speaking there is two ways to do Nightmare Before Christmas, small or massive. The small approach with the haunted mansion is perfect as it is as it serves as a seasonal attraction. The alternative would be to go full tilt land approach with people entering an indoor duplex hub that would serve home to not only be one land but two distinctive lands, Halloween town and christmas town. Think harry potter only twice as crazy. Halloween town would consist of an indoor hub with multiple attractions and shops all halloween themed. The christmas town would also be indoors as its themed towards a never ending christmas. Now these two lands would find themselves at odds with each other so to speak as guests will note. Christmas town has an snowball shooter attraction with santa's elves attempting to keep back the forces of Oogie Boogie who want to kidnap santa clause while the halloween town side has bad apples you toss at the elves on the other side. Halloween town on the other hand also has the ride showing the story of nightmare before christmas. As for drinks, halloween town will focus on cold fizzy drinks with scary names while christmas town has hot drinks like coffee and hot chocolate. As for food, halloween town serves some scary good food options while christmas town focuses largely on desserts.

I would do a VR/AR shooter based on the aliens movies. It would start with a tour of a spaceage facility only for a breakdown to happen. From there its onward into the hive, the egg chamber, the queen's prison, the escape tunnel, the escape capsule launcher, and finally a safe base to exit. Along the way you will use built in shooters to shoot anything from chest bursters, facehuggers, drones, and of course, a boss fight with the queen. To make things more interesting there will be water spray effects as well as hissing smoke indicating acid damage. After you get out you will be able to see how your score was, rank, and how many xenomorphes you killed. There will even be a special meet and greet animatronic "puppet" xenomorph encounter as well for those brave enough to get a selfie with a xenomorph.

yeah I guess you weren’t around for Alien Encounter then where Stitch is now? It was actually pretty cool but terrifying. Signs all over saying it was a scary attraction, still had to shut it down.

Honestly I think Rizzo's should be converted into a full muppet based restaurant with a better italian menu and Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem doing musical performances similar to sunny eclipse. That would give the place some new life. Maybe connect a gift shop to there would not be a bad idea too. As for creating a new muppets ride, I think its time to demo the 3d show, old gift shop, and yeah I will get some flak for it, the momma melrose italian restaurant. They can move it to a new location with more seating and no I am not talking about rizzos. This will give a pretty sizeable area to build a new ride plus to add even more space it can exit out directly into the restaurant. As for the ride, Im thinking maybe a 3d dark ride tour of muppet studios would not be a bad idea. Each scene would be a different part of muppet studios including the kitchen, science lab, ms piggy's room, and a few other different locations. The finale would of course be sam eagle with fireworks. During the display something goes wrong and you leave just as mayhem ensues with kermit inviting you to come again.

Anything to do with Muppets I’d LOVE. That area is very under utilized!

I actually was around for that one but the big problem is my idea would probably have a lot more gore and a lot less scares in the dark.

I've been giving a lot of thought to a few ideas, but I'm stuck on deciding which one to just sit down and work on properly. If anyone could help me decide, that would be fantastic:

.The Excavator(name tentative) - A dark ride/ coaster hybrid meant for Dinoland USA. The ride starts out as a stereotypical Bill Tracy-style carnival dark ride, but guests are quickly transported back in time to the age of the dinosaurs, becoming a family coaster.
.The Time Machine - Genuinely not sure if this is for a Disney park, or a Universal park (I've been toying with an IoA expansion based on classic science fiction.). Not a ton of details. Just an idea that I would like to play with.
.Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - Part of Discovery Bay; a park I've been trying to get off the ground for like three years. Flying dark ride loosely based on the film of the same name. Let's just pretend that Disney got the rights from the Broccolis.

Those are the three that I've given the most thought. I'm hoping that getting them out in the open will force me to actually write these up, haha.

 

[jeanericuser001]

The first two have slightly more common themes already slightly present at disney. The last one though sounds interesting though chitty chitty bang bang is not as common as it use to be. Honestly it may just go over people's heads. It would be pretty much as likely to happen as a ride based on bed knobs and broomsticks with beds as vehicles.

I always felt like the monsters inc laugh floor building looked like a motion simulator. What I would do is make a ride using technology similar to the dynamic attractions motion theater concept with the seats being on a motion base that can rotate. I would use this to make a ride combining animatronics and screens to make a dark ride like experience in a minimal space. Think of it as star tours mixed with the carousel of progress. As to what it would be themed to, I’m not sure. Perhaps it could be the incredibles, or something else. Any ideas?

Carousel of progress meets monsters inc. Interesting.

No not the carousel of progress. It was this thing I saw where the seating was on a large motion base that rotated and pivoted around a room. I think it was called a dynamic motion theater.

Here is the ride system video:

Huh. Now, that is an interesting ride system. Never seen it before.

I myself was thinking of having the queue be in the woods, then you walk through the Halloween door and find the load area.

It’s made by dynamic attractions, the people who made the new track for the 2005 space mountain refurb, and I’m pretty sure they made the ride system for flight of passage, and possibly soarin as well, so Disney already has a history with them.

 

[CookieMouse]

I have an idea to update the carousel of progress. Remove it from its current location, and make a dark ride using the space in addition to the space formerly used by the galaxy palace theater. Move it to the big turn on the speedway and add a domed roof similar to the one on the original worlds fair version, and replace all scenes but the preshow and the 1900s scene with new ones: the 1950s, the 2000s, and the 2050s, giving each scene a nice and even 50 year gap. I would also add A Disney cartoon or show relating to the decade, expect for the 1900s and 2050s. So the 50s, maybe Mickey Mouse, and the 2000s Would be phineas and ferb.

Absolutely. The queue for a Nightmare Before Christmas dark ride should start off in the forest, and the Halloween door is where you'll enter to get to the loading area for the ride.

It seems like it could offer some more...well, dynamic shows that people could sit in on. Perhaps something related to The Incredibles, or a Muppet show that really gets crazy.

Not a Disney park but I would retheme the ghostblasters dark ride at Nickelodeon universe in mall of America to the Netflix show glitch techs (which is technically Nickelodeon, but distributed by Netflix)

How about a American revolution boat ride in liberty square, that’s more on par with California’s pirates of the Caribbean, which takes you back to the American revolution, right in the middle of a battle between the Americans and the British. It could go in an expansion to liberty square. Maybe the seige of Yorktown?

That could be very cool. Might be controversial though.
