I've been on this Imageneering board for a while and I just couldn't help but noticing something: everyone here is good at different things. Some are good at designing thrill rides, others at adpating films into attractions, others at writing new stories for attractions, and others at designing theming for the parks. I've also noticed that everyone here all seems to try to design our own parks seperatly, trying to design enough attractions to fill a park, no matter if the attractions are necissarily what we are good at or not. This may be a crazy idea, but I thought that maybe we should all design a park together and design attractions that we are really good, our "specialties" if you will. Anyone else think this could be a good idea? We could either do a new version of an exhisting park (Magic Kingdom, Disney Studios, DisneySea, ect.) or design a new park from the ground up, which is what I would prefer. Any thoughts?

I love the idea, but I also have a club kindof like SOJI except it is called the Walt Disney Junior Imagineers Club. The web site is: http://swtpd.tripod.com. Check it out! You can join if you want. But, if you don't want to, you can try to get as many people from the forums as you can! I would LOVE to help!!!!!

How about a holiday themed park? It could have different lands in it themed to different holidays like 4th of July, Haloween, Christmas, etc. What do you think?

I may also be interested in joining in. What will we do? Draw concept are and so on?

Maybe it would be better to start off with one attraction instead of an entire park.

I think it should be a new park not just a ride! I would gladly create a Web Site for it. I just need some information, who is in on it, and etc. to post! It would be a tripod site! They are pretty good.

I think that, maybe, it could be like a Disneyland except not Disneyland. It would have a different name but also be about 2-3 times the size of the Disneylandsm. So I think that would be about 8-12 sq. miles. right?!?!

Also, it could be called Disney's Morocco Village. Like the name says, it would go in Morocco! That would be pretty cool, wouldn't it?!?!?!:confused:

I think we'll start with an MK-style park. We can start by redesigning the staple attractions for the park and also making plenty of new ones. Anyone like the idea?

OK, one of the first things we need to decide on is the Castle. Since Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty have been done in other parks, I thought maybe having the Beast's Castle would be nice. That way, at nigt durning the fireworks there could be a battle between the Beast and Gaston in the Castle towers and a transformation of the Beast back into human form. I don't know about the inside of the Castle, but I think either a walk-through with stained glass windows and such or a restaurant would work.

Question 1: Castle before or after the transformation, I think the gothic look before would be a little too overbearing

2: the castles are called Cinderella Castle and Sleeping Beauty Castle there is no possessiveness, so if we go with B&B it should be Beauty and the Beast Castle

3: There is also Snow White, and don't rule out a more general theme to the castle, the whole singular story theme can't last forever it might be nice to through in a castle that represents all Fairytale or some other sort of Fantasy theme.

4: Sorry, but what you have described minus the fight scenes sounds a little a-typical, why should we settle for what other parks have when we are making one.

I would say put in some sort of fantastic dark, if we go with B&B have it obviously tell the story of B&B but use AGV technology so that guests can go through rooms of the castle and actually be part of the scenes for instances in the ballroom scene the vehicles could be programed to waltz along side Beast & Bell (with the new developments in FRAA this might be able to look pretty spectacular and allow quite abit of mobility, let guests meander thought the "Be our guests scene" and so forth, this is the weenie of the park let's put one heck of a winnie of an attraction in it ( or alteast the entrance with a show building somewhere else

Then in addition a rather large interior area to the actual castle with multi-levels and a number of shops and boutiques including a banquet hall restaurant and a quaint French style café


How's that for a Creative Consultation? ;)

I think it should be Beauty and the Beast Castle and have it look like after the transformation. Because it was enchanted, it would surely symbolize fantasey and magic. Have it look a little different than the movie's. Make it like an unreal magic and beautiful castle instead of a typical one that you'd find in Europe. Sort of like the Sleeping Beauty castle in DLP. The fight would be neat, but it's rather inapropriate in Fantaseyland's peaceful setting. Instead of a ride, it could have a walk through adventure. You could tour the library, waltze room, the west wing ( no, the president doesn't live there :lol: ), Belle's room, etc. Along the way, you see stain glass windows dipicting the story of Beauty and the Beast. There would be some character greets there, like Cogs Worth, Belle, and Lumiere. There could also be a sit down resturaunt in the castle where a lively stage show of "Be Our Guest" is often presented. What do you think?:)

I agree with imageneer boy. The castle will not be directly lifted from the film, but different, more like how the Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella Castle do not look like the ones from the film. More styalized like an enchanted castle should, but not gothic (at least on the outside). The name "Beauty and the Best Castle" would be fine, much better than "Beast's Castle". As for an attraction, I'm not sure how much of a ride could fit inside of it. Most other castles only have walk-throughs or such so I'm not sure this one could be much different. I love the walk-through idea, though. I think that another attraction could also be included under the castle, but since Fantsyland has a lot of dark rides already, maybe have another type of attraction. Maybe some sort of show with the enchanted objects (either a 3-D movie, animatronics show, or puppet show).

Tomorrowland sounds great. I look forward hearing more about the rides. The only thing I'm questioning is if HISTA is really a good addition. I know it's in DL, TDL, and DLP, but it seems to me that it doesn't really fit in with Tomorrowland's futuristic theme. Maybe we could make a new 3D movie or find some better way to fit HISTA into the theming.

I've started some work on Fantasyland and, although it is no where close to being done, I thought I moght post some initial ideas I had. Here is a list of some of the attractions:

Beauty and the Beast Castle Tour
Peter Pan Flight
Snow White's Adventure
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (a completely new version, I'll explain more about that later)
Dumbo, the Flying Elephant
Mad Tea Party
Cinderella's Golden Carousell (name not final. I am also considering making it Mary Poppin's Carousl, but am not sure if a Carousel named after a Brittish nanny would be fitting of being in the courtyard of a French castle)
It's A Small World
Storybookland Cannal Boats
Casey Junior Circus Train

I would also like to include one more dark ride, but have not decided of a theme. I have previously designed dark rides based on Fantasia, Sleeping Beauty, and Beauty and theeast which could be put in, but I was also thinking about adding either the Little Mermaid or Cinderella as well. The only problem I can think of would be with Cinderella. My idea was to start off riding in punmkins and at one point have them turn into coaches. Not sure if this is possible, but if it it, it would make a great effect. Any comments, sugestions, or ideas?
