Sounds awesome! So, any ideas of what you want me to make first?
yensidtlaw1969 said:I'm not sure I like your idea for the Landmark of Oceana. The Idea was scrapped from Animal Kingdom for a reason, and it seems to fit even less in Oceana. Riding land and sky based animals in OCEANA? Not too sure about that.
Also, the Tree of Life is Awe Inspiring and Artistic. A glorified carousel like this doesn't compare at all. I'm thinking something like a fountain would be better. Not just waterspouts coming out of the ground, I mean a structure that water will ebb and flow through beautifully. I'm getting an Image of a large blown-glass like (like being the operative word; real glass wouldn't be safe with high winds and unruly guests. Polyurethane would have to substitute). Also, the pumps would have to be turned down slightly when it rains so it doesn't overflow monstrously. I have an Idea that I just sketched out that can be seen here:
http://yensidtlaw1969.tripod.com/sitename/id24.html
The picture doesn't show the colors brilliantly and colored pencil isn't my forte, but this thing would be tall and full of dancing fountains. There would be fountains in the "Kelp Gardens" (the little section of pathways in the front) that do the wave towards the structure, creating both movement and something that catches your eye and directs you towards the structure. Water would flow all over the structure and into the pools in the bottom, which would feature all kinds of "glass" seaweed (not drawn), as well as the grass that sticks up around the pathways that keeps people out of the pools and looks nice . The pools would also have several 20 foot stalks of "glass" seaweed, which would be made up of smaller strands of "glass" seaweed, such as the kind I mentioned before (though did not draw). There would be a row of coral behind those seaweed stalks which would also be colored "glass"
(though I'm debating the colors, as I don't like the colors I used in the drawing). There would be more than three on each side, ofcourse, I just got lazy and didn't like what I did with the coral so far. Bubbles would be pumped through the area in massive quantities. Above each of the the entrances to the structure (though what lies inside I don't know ) would be a 12 foot tall stained glass panel, the one in the middle being purple and the 2 on either side being royal blue. The water would flow over the sides of the "basin", I guess the word woud be, somewhat in fasion of the Old Land Pavillion Fountain. The water would flow around the entances, so people don't have to walk under a waterfal to enter :wave: . The blue ball on the very top 1- I thought would look nice and 2- serves as a lightning rod. Something tall tat features copious amounts of water pumping from it at all times in the middle of Thunderstorm heaven Florida is likely to be struck, and we don't want anyone to get hurt.
There are many things about this that I want to change and that the drawing does not show, but this is a general Idea.

It all depends ona special "test" that guests will participate in just before their ride vehicle gets lost inside the massive temple.
stitchcastle said:Here is a bunch of updates for some of the pre-existing attractions:
*MK's Space Mountain will receive the massive update that DL's space Mountain just had including brand new projections and and on-ride soundtrack.
*Expedition Everest will be extended to include even more Yeti interaction. Now, the legendary monster is out to get you as he throws boulders at us and even takes a cue from the anaconda and grabs our train.
*Soarin's ride film will be randomized so that fliers won't have the same experience twice. Now, guests will be able to fly anywhere around the world.
*The Edna Mode Show will be themed and different "episodes" will be taped at different times in the day. She will now have different special "guest stars" from Martha Stewart, to Tom Cruise, to Bill Clinton, heck, even you could be a special guest.
*The Indiana Jones Adventures will have a massive update that literally turns the ride into 3 different rides in one: The Scarlet Diamond, The Crystal Skull and The Forbidden Eye.

bennyrex said:Dude! Do not feel bad! Different boats, different strokes, eh? Who cares if some people don't like what you've done. Take what you can from their criticism, but that doesn't change what a fantastically awesome thing you've done here. I've just spent I don't know how long reading through every post you've made as you've built up and changed this massive resort. And I enjoyed all of it. I didn't agree with everything you've done, and I've got some things I'd change, but hey! This is your baby. I'm not going to tell you how I'd do it differently, cause then I could just plan my own park. Your's is fantastic and you should be proud of yourself. You've got a treasure trove of amazing sketches and brilliant ride ideas. I can't wait to here more details about these rides. I'll be checking back, man. The only reason I registered at this site was so I could comment on your thread. And don't feel like you've let these guys down. I'm sure they'd agree that you've done something fantastic here. They just want to see you make it even better.
:sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:stitchcastle said:Fantasyland - I've decided to scale back a bit by keeping the current layout but enhancing the facades a little bit more. The land will be divided to 4 parts: East (Fairy Tale Village), West (Fantasyland Faire), North-West (The Enchanted Forest), and FantasyLand plaza
right now, I'll only be elaborating on what's new so here they are:
FL Plaza
- as you walk in through the castle, the first thing that will greet you is a beautiful little garden filled with some of the most refreshingly colorful flowers ever known and right in front is a newly renovated Cinderella Carousel, housed under blue-tinted glass roof and features a small moat around it with a hedge spelling out "Fantasyland" in a beautiful floral arrangement. Looking around, you notice that each lamp post in this area is decorated by small bronze impression of a Disney princess.
The plaza, with the carousel, acts as a central hub for all of Fantasyland and its adjoining sub-lands (Shadowland and Hogsmeade). It is a wide expanse of space that lets people move freely around the area.
Fantasyland faire
To the west, a whimsically decorated archway beckons you to explore the ongoing "Fantasy Faire" as Dumbo the Flying Elephant (now in an elevated flatform so he can soar high above the fair) welcomes us to enjoy Peter Pan's Flight, It's A Small World and a few others...
Silly Symphonies Fun House - The Wizard Yensid invites us on a tour of his magical "fun house" where reality takes a backseat to the caricaturistic world of The Silly Symphonies.
-a tribute to all the Silly Symphonies cartoons of the early years, this dark ride, modeled after Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, explores a rather crazy and whimsical fun house filled with shape-changing mirrors, dancing skeletons, dancing flowers, upside down rooms, rooms filled with talking, singing birds, visual illusions, and many more. It's basically a large fun house.
Monsters Inc. Laugh Factory - The Monsters of Monstropolis need laughs to power up their city, but with children only being able to provide so much laughter, Mike and Suly and the gang resort to a completely new tactic: travelling Carnivals. So here they are now in Fantasy Faire presenting their slapstick and stand-up improvisation acts hoping to secretly use the audience' laughter to power up. unfortunately, Randall has escaped and he has developed a new way to extract fear from the voices of all the children: direct, multi-sensory contact. Can Mike and Sully, figure out randall's heinous plan without exposing their true identities?
-This Audio-Animatronic show may seem innocent at first but beware: this is "Alien Encounter" in disguise. When Randall attacks, the entire theater goes dark and Randall will be hissing and appearing in all corners, but don't be afraid for you, the audience, will be handed a flashlight at the beggining of the show (why? in case power goes out a.k.a when nobody is laughing.) which would maximize inter-activity and ease the young-ones everytime Randall gets too scary.
(i'm sorry, I'm out of time, I might come back later, your comments will be greatly appreciated)
