Disneyland Canada

[MickeyMouse10]

Since I’m going Alien with my Magic Kingdom version in the other thread. This time around I’d go with a Steampunk aesthetic for the Canadian version.

Journey to the Center of the Earth
----- (slot car dark ride, similar to the tokyo version)

Discovery Land Airships
----- (aerial carousel, similar to astro orbiter)

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
----- (motorcycle rollercoaster, similar to tron)

Steampowered Transport
----- (omnimover, similar to peoplemover)

From the Earth to the Moon
----- (rollercoaster, similar to Space Mountain)

Restaurants and Shops

Rivets, The Observatory, Apothecary, Spyglass, Quartermaster

You haven’t picked a city yet for this resort, correct? I analyzed the possibility of a resort near Toronto in my thread (see below). It got relatively high marks for the IP familiarity and distance from another major theme park. The Population is relatively small there, which is one of the downsides.

Next International Resort [Universal Studios Great Britain]

Strength of Intellectual Properties Disney and Universal have good internal numbers as to where their Intellectual Properties (IPs) are popular. From the outside, though, it can be tough to know where IPs are well-received. Avengers: End Game is the top grossing box office movie of all time at...

Yep, Waz never said where he'd put it in Canada. Toronto would definitely be in My top 5 for locations though.

But I'd probably want to go with a city that is more centrally located. So it is in a more triangular shape from it's sister resorts Disneyland and Disney World. So I'd say my Number 1 choice would be...

Medicine Hat, Alberta. Which is known as "The Sunniest City in Canada" and is located near Montana.

runners up would include two British Columbia cities

Victoria, BC. Which is known as "Canada's most consistent weather" and Osoyoos, BC, known as “Canada’s warmest welcome”. Both of which are located near Washington State.

Where are all the IP’s in Discovery Land? You know Disney will want to make money off of them. That is their sole purpose for making rides now.

lol not every land needs IPs to be good

Maybe not, but Disney doesn't care about theming anymore. Look at Epcot.

 

[MickeyMouse10]

… Well for now there would be only 2 IP’s in "Discovery Land". It is something you really have to think about when it comes to this section and the theming. What fits? What doesn’t? I don’t want to put in an IP that would ruin the whole land. In fact I think overall it would be best to keep all of the attractions un-IP based, except for 1.

The 2 “Discovery Land” IP’s, would both be found on the “Steampowered Transport”. Which is the DLC’s version of “the Peoplemover” at the Magic Kingdom. Old friends Dreamfinder and Figment can be found along one of the side areas. In steampunk form from head to toe … or claw in Figments case. They would be in the area where the original Epcot model is usually found in Florida. I figured they fit perfectly because of their “New Appearances” and because they are all about “Discovering your Imagination”.

The other one… people may not agree with, but I figured he fits with both the “Discovery” and “Appearance” aspects of the land.

B.E.N. from “Treasure Planet” will serve as the narrator of the attraction and will appear briefly in animatronic form. He’s voiced masterfully by legendary Canadian comedian Martin Short. Whose no stranger to Disney attractions, he was the main narrator for “O’Canada”, which used to be at Epcot’s Canada pavilion.

They could always do merchandise based on the attractions. I’m sure Discovery Land has creatures that could sell a mug or two.

 

[itsy bitsy spider]

Yep, we know already that “Journey to the Center” has a cool looking monster. Because many of us have already seen the Tokyo version. They say he/she is reminiscent of the “Alien Encounter” creature.

waz is back

 

[wazowski_216]

toronto or calgary or even quebec would be solid options.. but toronto is def. the top choice

also R.I.P O'Canada

I’d love to ride Journey, it looks like test track. But in a vehicle that looks like it drilled it’s way into the ground.

 

[MickeyMouse10]

B.E.N!!!!!!

LOL, I know.

Some people would be like "What the... ?" and "Why would you do that... ?" But it actually makes sense. The animatronic version would be a great addition to the land.

.... but I'd steer clear of the meet and greet version though. Is that a pocket or a f@nny pack?

 

[Goofy Ninja]

I still say they should have Steve Perry from “Journey” on the ride. The mullet version of course. ... and not an animatronic either... the real thing.

 

[The Great Gonzo]

I like the Jules Verne theming, not everyone will get it, but I do. He was surely ahead of his time just ask Doc Brown. “Great Scott”.

 

[Snow Queen 83]

I know it isn’t a big IP, but Jules Verne is something that will remain relevant. Like Bram Stoker and Jane Austen.

 

[PrinceCharming617]

I like it!

Tokyo Disneysea (as a whole) doesn’t seem to overly rely on new IP’s as much. Mystic Manor, Sinbad, Leagues, etc.

Mystic Manor is Hong Kong Disneyland.

The airships would add some atmosphere to the land. Much like Astro orbiters does for it’s lands around the world. It furthers the story of exploration for it’s residents and new visitors.
