Alright, Disney's Electrical Parade, it is. So that's half of what the words will be on the drum when they switch between them. But what should the other half say?
Clicking on this link here, http://img107.imageshack.us/my.php?image=oldalicemapcb8.jpg, provides people with a map of an original concept for an Alice walkthrough, which was what Disneyland's Alice attraction would be before becoming a dark ride. The scenes represented in the picture were meant to be shown in a series of window displays. The red arrows represent the route the attraction took.
This is more or less the Alice dark ride I am considering using for Tokyo Disneyland. Of course, it won't be a walkthrough, it will be a dark ride, just like CA's Alice ride. A few tweaks in the path system and a few removals of some scenes, like the upside-down room, and it should be perfect. Plus, this ride will be a tribute of sorts to the Mickey Mouse Revue (which is what this attraction will supposedly replace) in that many of the Alice characters used in that attraction will be seen here, including Alice, the flowers, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Dormouse. Finally, the Caterpillar won't be the only character used as the ride vehicle, as he will be joined by the Cheshire Cat.
Anywho, what do you think?
Here's a look at a brand-new film I thought up to go into the theaters at the Town Squares of Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland. It's called An Adventure In the Magic Kingdom, named after the 1958 Disneyland episode of the same name. It's a whirlwind tour of all the Magic Kingdom-type Disney parks worldwide, hosted by a CGI version of Tinker Bell and narrated by an offscreen narrator.
It begins as it does in the episode, albeit truncated to remove references to television and the context and revised a bit. Here's the script for the introductory scene, beginning in Walt’s office used on the anthology series in the 1950s and 60s, while a soft version of "You Can Fly, You Can Fly, You Can Fly" plays in the background (you can find the link to the sample music here at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIfPIoo14kE).
NARRATOR: And now, your host, Walt Disney!
WALT: Hold on. Wait a minute.
NARRATOR: Yes, Walt?
WALT: There's been a slight change; we're having a hostess for this program.
NARRATOR: Oh, really?
WALT: And since many people find this hostess a bit hard to understand, suppose you take over and do the talking for her.
NARRATOR: But… Walt, I've made plans to go on a whirlwind tour of the Disney parks worldwide.
WALT: I've considered that. Now just be patient and we’ll get you there in a hurry. Let's call our hostess. (He picks up a bell and rings it, but it doesn't make a sound) Don't worry, there's nothing wrong. This is a pixie bell. The sound is much too high for human ears. (A CGI Tinker Bell flies over) Oh, there you are, Tink. (He then looks offscreen) Would you do the honors?
NARRATOR: And now, your hostess, Tinker Bell!
WALT: Tink, our friends in the audience have told me they like the way you introduce our program. (Tink flits around) And they'd like to see you do more, so I've decided… no, no, no, Tink, hold it, hold it. (Tinker Bell stops) You're jumping the gun. Now come over here. (Tink flits over to him) Sit down. (Tink crosses her legs and "sits" in mid-air) Now pay attention. I'm appointing you, as special hostess to take our audience. (Tinker Bell floats above his head and spins, covering Walt with pixie dust, which, of course, causes Walt to fly up) No, no, no, Tink, I'm not flying down. Hey, get that stuff off of me. (Chuckling, he dusts the stuff off himself; he then floats back to earth) If you're familiar with the story of Peter Pan, you know that a little bit of Tinker Bell's fairy dust can make you fly. (Safely on the floor, he looks at Tink) Now, Tink, I want you to be a good hostess. Show them everything. (Tink eagerly zips out the window) Tink! Wait a minute! (She comes back in) Haven't you forgotten something? Aren't you gonna take the audience along? (With that, she waves her wand on the screen and then flies out the window, the camera following…)
Being a Disneyland episode, it was originally aired in black and white, but filmed in color. My question is, should the scene be in black and white or color? Also, what attractions should be used for each Disney park seen in the film? I do know that the parks should be in chronological order. I want some variation, something like what is seen in the movie playing at WDW's Main Street Cinema. Finally, who should be the narrator? Also, when the show is played at Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland, the language used for the show will be French and Cantonese, respectively. However, there will be headphones at the back of the theater for English and German translations (Disneyland Paris) and English and Mandarin translations (Hong Kong Disneyland). Anyway, can anyone give me a hand here?
Since they will be shown in the theaters at Town Square, I figured it would be best to show what the marquees would look like. Here's a link to the image of the attraction at Disneyland, to be shown at the Opera House: http://img116.imageshack.us/my.php?image=advmkpd3.jpg
I will put up images of the other three locations soon... :animwink:

You left out Kingdom Hearts, Chicken Little and Harry Potter! Is there enough room?
I'm not gonna do Chicken Little and I thought Harry Potter was owned by Warner Bros., not Disney.
As for Kingdom Hearts, I actually did do an attraction based on the game series, but after serious consideration (I didn't even want to do it), I had no choice but to scrap it because of the lack of room in any of the parks.
If you're reading this, Darth Plank, this thread is on how I would improve any non-Walt Disney World Disney parks, not Walt Disney World parks. Is that what you were thinking?

Dreamscape: more info here!
Only a little. I was going for a Dreamscape ride that replaces Stitch. The Stitch Animatronic is replaced by a Tron Animatronic. Dreamscape is a combination of all Pixar movies with Tron. Also you can cut some trees and make room for Kingdom Hearts. There is also a Teen Ride in Animal Kingdom that is mostly about when a man named "Dr. Alex" accidently turned into a Werewolf and you have to chase him down. There will be room for Snow White in Disneyland NY. Snow White is perfect next to it's a small world

Look, you got the wrong thread here. It's about improving the non-WDW parks, not the WDW parks. The thread on improving the WDW parks is: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=53038
. Get it right, already!
I've also decided to replace the old Tokyo Disneyland logo with a new one. Here's the link to the old logo: http://img371.imageshack.us/my.php?image=oldtdllogogq8.jpg.
And here's a link to the new one (it uses the same castle as the old one): http://img502.imageshack.us/my.php?image=newtdllogoxs9.jpg.

Here's how the old Dumbo ride at Tokyo looked like: it looks quite old; the structure is outdated; there are only ten Dumbos instead of 16; even the spot where Timothy stands is outdated (the disco ball). Here's a link to the ride to show you specifically what I mean: http://www.tdrfan.com/tdl/fantasyland/dumbo/index.htm.
Here's how the new Dumbo ride at Tokyo will look like: 16 Dumbos instead of 10 and the structure will look more like the one at Disneyland in California, complete with Timothy holding the whip instead of the feather and the hot-air balloon on which he's perched is rainbow-type instead of just simply red and white-striped (as is the case in Florida, France and Hong Kong). However, there will be no fountain underneath the structure, like there is in California, France and Hong Kong. I will try and get a picture up soon, just as soon as I A) Draw the picture and B) get access to a scanner; a digital camera just isn't doing justice.
In the end, it will look mostly like WDW's version, but with Disneyland's Timothy-and-balloon topper. I will try and put up a picture combining both ideas with PhotoDeluxe.

Great choice mharrington! It kinda looked likes some Dumbos aren't there so
10

6 dumbos! Instead ot the Laugh Floor Comedy Club being delayed, i will check and then when it's finished i will start a parade. My ideas for Toy Story Midway Mania: It should be like Tommorrowland Indy Speedway.

Here's an image showing what Tokyo Disneyland's new Dumbo ride will look like: http://img168.imageshack.us/my.php?image=newtdldumboce6.jpg.
As you can see by the people riding it and the woman in the foreground, it's actually the version found at Walt Disney World with a red-and-white-striped balloon on the structure instead of a rainbow balloon (seen in Disneyland). This picture, combining the WDW version (which has no fountain pool under the structure, like it does at Disneyland) with Disneyland's balloon, will be the version found at Tokyo Disneyland.
Anyway, what do you think?

that dreamscape ride plan sounds a bit familiar.. kind of like the one i made up with tron that replaces stitch. and that teen ride would be freaky! i would not even go near that! and, i DO NOT think that belongs in AK.

no offense, but there are some rides that should only stay in one park bc they are special. voyage of the little mermaid should only be in MGM. PhilhartMagic should only be in Magic Kingdom. The new mupptet thing should either be in paris or DCA. and mickey mouse revue should stay in tokyo,which is no where else in the world, and not be destroyed. that would almost be the same as destroying figment!! and also, i think that tron should stay in the american parks only, bc if you put tron in tokyo, then you would be destroying MicroAdventure, which is cool and is no where else in the world. ( and dont make fun of me, i would rather have captain eo than any other 3-D movie that it replaced) but do you understand what i am saying? there are also some other ones that should stay, but i cant really remember them. lol mid block. and that disney channel thing sounds like the next stitch.. i dont know about that one.
Mickey Mouse Revue is no JII. I've never seen it before. It's simply time for something new. I think Mickey Mouse Revue should go; its stride had been hit long ago. Besides, it's one attraction that's outdated. What's wrong with adding things to other parks besides that they're "special"?
About PhilharMagic, it's not ONLY in MK, it's also in Hong Kong. MicroAdventure is simply HISTA in Japanese; that show is outdated. Captain EO is also outdated. What's wrong with adding the Little Mermaid attraction to the other parks? Where else could I put the Alice ride? Why can't I put these attractions in other parks; why should they be confined to only one park each? Y'know, some people can't afford to fly across the world just to visit those attractions, or did you ever know that? :fork:
As for the Disney Channel thing, I meant to say CyperSpace Mountain; sorry for the confusion. Besides, I'm trying to make the attractions special by trying not to simply duplicate the attractions, nut by trying maybe make a few things different between them.
What's wrong with adding attractions to other parks besides making them "special"?
I suppose YOU have some ideas for the parks? If so, lay them on me! I'm all eyes. I never thought I'd offend anyone here. I mean, if you want the parks to be "special", then let's get rid of POTC from WDW or the Haunted Mansion from Disneyland!
Have you ever actually BEEN on Mickey Mouse Revue, anyway?
Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention one update for DLP's FYL: Small World, which will receive an update similar to the one HKDL is getting with its Small World: Disney characters seen throughout the ride, peppered into the proper locations.
Here's what the new Tron 4D movie will be like. It will be much like Figmntal95's idea, only done in a 4D movie style. Anyway, here goes...
You would sit traditional 3D show chairs as always, and then something bad happens and shows up on the screen up ahead and then it emerges to menace. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Here's what happens in the pre-show: Flynn, who created Tron and his world, as well as the video game Space Paranoids, is giving you a tour of his new creation on some TVs. Then, you hear MCP's loud voice bellowing, "Intruders! Intruders!" and the lights go crazy and Flynn yells and the room gets shaking, and then the room plunges into darkness. You hear the sounds of the MCP's guards ordering you to move: "Vacate entry port, programs! I said MOVE!" Now you are indeed trapped in Tron's world. Flynn shows up on a TV screen on the right and says that everything will be okay as long as you stay with Tron. Then after you take your seat in the big theater which is full of electronic sights just like in the movie, Flynn tries to figure out a way to get you out. Meanwhile, Tron continues Flynn's tour on the giant screen as he throws his ID disc at members of the MCP to keep them at bay. Then, the TVs suddenly shut off and the lights go out. Tron vanishes before your eyes on the screen (he's a hologram). Then the lights flicker on and off and the room shakes again. Then you see the MCP appear on the screen yelling, "Intruders! Intruders! Activating program-melting acid!" Of course the "program-melting acid" is only water, and it sprays everywhere, similar to Fozzie Bear's squirting flower. Then all this other stuff happen from up on the screen as the MCP and its right-hand man, Sark, try to kill you: lasers go off, guards try to menace you with their spears, wind blows everywhere, the room won't stop shaking, etc. All the while, the MCP desperately tries to get rid of you, until Tron appears onscreen with a big computer nearby and proceeds to interrupt it. There is a little explosion and the MCP vanishes. But the MCP is not about to let its plans just go to waste; it then transfers its powers to Sark, who towers high above Tron. First, he leans out into the audience and lets out a yell. Then he and Tron do battle while Flynn tries to distract the MCP by jumping into its tower of light. He succeeds. Then Tron hurls his ID disc into the tower and the MCP and Sark with it are destroyed. Then Flynn comes back on the screen and types in something. You exit the main room into the after-show room. Flynn thanks you for coming, and apologizes for what happened. Then you walk through a hallway into, surprise, surprise, a Tron Gift Shop!!
So how do you like it? It's kinda crude, but it's a start. Can you think of how to improve it? Because it's kinda barebones in my opinion.

The words are kinda crude, but it should give you an idea of what the exterior of the ride should look like at Disneyland Paris.
I would really like to put pictures up, but I don't have access to a scanner right this very second. But when I do get to one, I will try to put them up.
