thanks, do you like the 2nd version of the model t ride, I think it is a lot more historically acurate.

Wow, that would be an awesone ride! You're welcome for the advice (I feel so happy that I inspired someone
)I also think that the Civil War idea is very good. Although some might say it isn't very "Disney like", it would be a great learning experience, and something very new for a Disney theme park.
Old 1900's model t's
I will post the civil war area rides tinight, sorry for the wait, I was at my aunt and uncles house all day fishing and crabbing
Finally here is the civil war e-ticket rides Iron Clash and Picket's Charge. These might be two of the best rides in the park. I will start with
IRON CLASH-this is a water coaster, if you don't know what a water coaster is it is the ride version of Journey To Atlantis, and Buzzsaw Falls. This ride sort of reminds me of Pirates of Carebean. When you arrive at the entarence it is a large boat dock with wooden roofing over it(the line is sort of like Jaws at Universal) While you are in line you watch a pre-show about the battle of the Moniter and Merimack(i think speeling is wrong) The ride is half inside and half outside. When you enter your boats you enter the show area, when you first enter nothing is there your just in a smokey, dark room and cant see and all of the sudden you see 2 large boats enter and start fireing over you
You are in the heat of battle. This why the ride reminds me of PoC. Water is splashing over you, and you think your next to die. You see animotronic people yelling and fireing guns and some fall in to the water, and all of sudden you blast off in the heat of battle, this is part of the dry track section you go over the Monitar and go in to a helix and then in to a splash. after a near collision with in of the ships you should have wet your pants by now :lol: Now you hit a chain lift but it is hidden in the mist and you are to busy watching the battle and listning to cool orchastrated war music that is made especially for the ride. You are now above the battle and heading out of the building all of the sudden you here an explosion and you drop right in front of the entarence so the public can see it. The splash after the drop will get you wet. The drop will be about as speep as Journey to Atlantis. After the drop you think the ride is over but there is still one more suprise You do a u bend and head right back in to the building. When you get in the building you stop the music stops and then out of nowhere you do another suprise boost in to battle, this time you go around the Marimack you do one little camelback and a near miss with the ship and then you do a helix in to a spash. Since the battle was a draw there really is no happy ending. You head back into the station, and exit in to a museum on the battle of the Moniter and Merimack. Thats it how did you like it. This will be a very suspensful ride. Please post comments and suggestions. I will post Picket's Charge later tonight, see ya

Here is Picket's Charge, this is a ride that uses the same technology as Spiderman. It is a simulater. The ride is themed to the famous charge at Getteysburg. At the entarance of the ride there is a memorial to all of those who died in the charge. When you are in the line there is a pre show that tells the story behind the chargem why they did it and more. The ride takes place in a large, tall barn type building with a confederate flag on the roof. When you enter the cars, themed to look like a horse, still the same seating as Spiderman. The ride is 4D so you have to wear glasses. The ride starts off by you are woken up(the ride is 1st person) And you are getting ready to charge. You are in the 9th Virginia regement. Before the charge Armstead gives his famous speach. And off you go , the ride starts off slow but it gets very intense later. When you are marching the first half, your car moves like you are on a horse(you are on a horse the first half of the ride) After the big march you start to get ready for the ugly part of battle. A rifle appears on the screen like in first person shooting games. You hop off your horse you hop over the fence cross the road and then hop another fence. When you are doing this cannons are already starting to be fired, You see people dying next to you. You are running close enough so you can start fireing your rifle. Right now smoke is everywhere, you see little streams of smoke like bullets are being fired(they wizz right past you) Explosions are going off right next to you(yes we use real fire in this ride ) You should be spooked right now by the time you start fireing your rifle things are getting very ugly. But then somthing terible happens you get capptured. You are being yelled at by the yankees, they take you to a liitle area where some other rebels are. At this part of the ride you are planning an escape, after you plan it you sneak out and charge back to your starting point. You hop on a horse and start going. You feel like you are really riding on a horse very fast. You are wizzing past explosions and jumping over dead bodies. You still have the little streams of smoke wizzing past you. When you think you are home free a cannon land right in front of you, and causes a big explosion. A real explosion happens right in front of face You think you are toast but you turn just in time. After this you jump the two fences, and you are now home free. You run back to base camp and report in to the general. Next you go to your tent and go to bed and then the ride is over. Everything in this ride is real. The explosions, smoke, and there are real props. Oh ya there will be very cool orcastrated war music like in the Moniter and Merimack ride. Thats it. This ride could be depressing to some people but it teaches the people one of the most famous moments in civil war history. Please any comments or suggestions. Next up is Wildwest Boomtown, see ya

I'm about half way through the park and I want to take a poll. What is the best ride so far? Please tell me why you think it is the best ride. There is still plenty more coming at Disney's America.

I like it but it is a bit depressing and a little to boldy for Diseny.

Hi I just started reading about your ideas I hope you don't mind I'm kinda butting in. I like your ideas a lot, especially the monsters inc. thing, but I agree it sounds a bit to gorry and violent for disney. I think kids should learn about what happened too, but it's a little much for disney.
I know this ride is gory but it will be a fun ride, probally when your riding it you won't think of the gore. I mean you think I'm going to make a civil war ride with no gore that just wouldn't make sence. I may be sounding critical but i had to put some violent and gory parts in there or you really would not get the feel for the ride.

I know you can't get around some of the gore. Disney will tone it down though if they won't allow someone to stand there with a gun on the safari ride I think your goiing to have trouble convincing them that you can show people killing/being killed/dead all in one ride. I believe we should show kids what really happened but you know disney's would make it less gory. It sounds kinda cool though.

I like your I idea a lot. I think that you will probley have to give a warning out at the beginning of the line telling that it is going to be a little violent. Kind of like what Univerisal dose with giving Terminator 2 : 3D , Horror Movie Make up, and Hickock a PG-13 lable. Which they tell people before they get in line. Agin I like your idea a lot!:king:
ya I noticed that, maybe GM made a clasic car like the model t, but I don't think so.
