Disney Resort Africa

[MaterA113]

I still want it to be suitable for children, but not just as "childish" as Fantasyland. I want it to be scary but, "fun" scary like the Haunted Mansion or Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Not scary scary, like Halloween Horror Nights at Universal or HolloScream at Busch Gardens. I think it has its child moments, but also thrills.
I have a few walkthroughs, and I want them to be more of a scary "haunt" like at Universal, but not as scary.

Total: true Fantasyland Dark Rides- 3
walkthoughs/ shows- 6
rollercoaster/ flume- 7
tea party- 2
more thrilling dark rides- 2
Overall, I still want it to be Disney.

[romanarms]

well mythia sounds great, but there is somthing that i saw through out the thread: you dont give details about the rides, and when you say that the phonix ride will be a rollercoater i think about somthing ordinary...
please when you have in mind an e-ticket attractions (whitch i think that the phonix ride for example- is), give more details about the story, i know that you have great ideas, but give more details.

besides that, the wild kingdom sounds great, you have some cool ideas.
but explain me why asia and africa (that are the most wild continents) are not included, i mean... what is an animal park without africa?

 

[MaterA113]

Well, yes Rise of the Phoenix is an "E-Ticket", I am trying to come up with a whole story line as of right now.

I am not including Africa and Asia because: 1) the location of my resort is in Africa, so even though it is far away, I am sure that they just don;t want to see theose animals because I am sure they hear about them or see them daily. 2) they both were used already in DAK, so I am trying not to repeat popular attractions, like Kilmanjaro Safaris, it will be replaced with Australia, with Outback Rovers, a similar concept to KS

 

[romanarms]

o.k. i see, but remember to put details about e-ticket rides.

 

[MaterA113]

Australia
19- Outback Rovers
F- Outback Steakhouse

Entering from North America, in the far left corner near the entrance to the Arctic is Outback Rovers, a KIlmanjaro Safaris type ride where your ride in Outback Safaris vehicles and you search for the rare Red Kangaroo, and along the way see some of Australia's famous animals, Koalas, possums, Tasmanian Devils, Wallaroos, and other incredible creatures. On th right near across from OR is Outback Steakhouse, a restaurant themed like the chain of restaurants, but with more Australian cusine.

Comments, suggestions wanted. Thanks.

Later Today I should post Arctic.

 

[romanarms]

do somthing with the red rock, it is one of the most famous places in australia

 

[MaterA113]

Can you give me a description of what Red Rock is? I don't really know anything about Australia. Are you suggesting it as a attraction in it self, or a element to Outback Rovers.

 

[MaterA113]

First, I started to research the Red Rock or the Ayer Rocks as a whole, and I realized that I didn't feel as if it lent itself to a whole attraction. Since in the myths about it, there where non about animals. So, I decide to do a ride based on the Rainbow Serpant myth, a snake that controls about water. But, I decided to put the Ayer Rocks in the Outback Rovers, and the guide could explain the myth behind it and DreamTime.

Second I have what I think of my description for Flight of the Phoneix.My story is based from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology)

Flight of the Phoenix

Queue: Walking through the little town of Helio, you notice that their painting and statues all dedicated to the legendary Phoenix. You enter a cave, the loading area.

Ride Portion: First you board cars that are hanging from a gold egg. Then you move out of the loading area into another portion of the cave where there is a sling shot type device shooting you. (The launch will be similar to the RnR) Once shot, fire explode around you and you egg above you has transformed into beautiful red and gold wings. After you are shot, you go up and out of the cave and soar through loops, twists and turns as you try to find the Cinamon Twigs to make your nest. Then once done with one of the final drops. You return back into the cave and stop at what looks like a nest built out of your twigs you found. THen fire shoots up, and your wings disapear and the egg returns and you notice ash everywhere. Finally, you do a gentle drop into the loading station. Where you exit.

I hope that this works for you as for story.
Now I am currently working on the attraction for the Rainbow Serpant for Australia, to go between the Outback Rovers and the entrance from Australia and North America.

 

[romanarms]

now thats what im talking about, however you may want to add some sort of a conflict- because the storyline seems really peacfull, and in disney every big attractions have somthing that goes wrong (unless a fantasy type ride).

what is the rainbow serpent?

 

[MaterA113]

From what I have read, the Rainbow Serpent is a mythological creature in Aboriginal folklore, it seems depending of the area of where you are from, she can be good or bad. For the purposes of this attraction, to be thrilling, she will bad, similar to the Yeti in Expedtion Everest.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Serpent

I still haven't thought of an name for the attraction, so if anyone can help with the name after you read the description, any suggestions are welcomed

Legend of the Sacred Cave

Type: hybrid of flume and coaster

Queue: Walkthrough an Aboriginal Village, and see how the Australians live. Then you come across a dock situated at the edge of the stream as you tour the rest of the village along the waterway.

Vehicle: a canoe type boat

Ride Portion: After boarding the canoe you go along a guided tour of the rest of the village, then the stream ahead is blocked off from a tree fallen down, so you detour into a cavern and you journey deep into the cave. As you pass along through the caves you see aboriginal paintings on the wall depicting a large snake killing people. THen you go into the coaster part of the ride. You go through fast twist, turns and drops. THen you stop and see a bright flash of rainbow colored light and then your vehicle begins again but it is slower but it is rattleing, like the bridge on KS or Catastrophe Canyon. THen you pick up speed and encounter the Rainbow Serpant trying to strike at you. It seems that the riders hade woken her up with all of their screaming and she is not happy. You find a quick exit out of the underground cave and make it save back to the village.

 

[romanarms]

considering the fac t that she controls the water, why dont you do a scene wehere the water level in rising, and right before it reaches the maximum level, you find a way to escape.

are you going to post the arctic soon?

 

[MaterA113]

That is a good idea. I think that will be a better way to end the ride. Thanks.

Today I will be doing Arctic, I was busy writing my stories for Flight of the Phoenix and (unnamed Rainbow Serpant attraction). And tweaking some things.

 

[romanarms]

rides about a certain creature need simple names, you can use:

-the legend of the rainbow snake
-journy into the rainbow cave
and more such things... anyway i wait for the arctic

 

[MaterA113]

the Arctic
20- Glacier Falls
21- IceLand Explorations
G- Polar Bear Pub
H- Frezzy Fries
g- the Warming Hut

Entering from Australia, you have Glacier Falls on your left, I will explain in a little while. Next to Glacier Falls is it's exit shop of the Warming Hut. Near the entrance to Glacier Falls is Freezy Fries, a french fry snack stand, similar to the ones at MK. On the right as you enter the Arctic is Polar Bear Pub, a quick service restaurant themed to be in an ice cavern. Continuing on the left is IceLand Explorations, a walkthrough exhibit where you can encounter Caribou, Arctic Fox, Harp Seals, Polar Bears, Walrus and Beluga Whales, this exhibit will be similar to the one at SeaWorld, but with more animals from the Arctic.


Glacier Falls Description

Queue: Enter and travel through an Ice Cavern with depictions of Polar BEars and them being killed for their fur and meat on the walls. THen you come across a loading dock near the edge of the water.

Ride: Board a boat that looks like a piece of ice. Then travel through the waters with native people along the sides and AA Polar Bears and Caribou and wolves and More. THe climax of the ride is when the glacier melts and falls into the water and you go soaring across the water (similar to what happens to the children of The Chronicles of Narnia: t L,W,aW) and down the fall and into a pool of frezzing water (like Splash Mountain). Then you pull back into the station and exit into the Warming Hut (shop).

I hope that was a good enough description. Tomorrow I will probably describe Oceania, the final land of Disney's Wild WOrld.
