If I could improve Walt Disney World....

[mharrington]

what about soarin' over the world?

Well, if we were to rename it to "...the World", we'd have to completely gut the pavilion again and relocate the ride to World Showcase. Besides, what's wrong with Florida? Is the California movie mostly about rugged hills?

Florida is one of the least geographically interesting states in the US. Claifornia's Soarin' is so interesting is because of just how diverse the geography is, from mountains, to forests, to desserts, to rocky cliffs it's just a great variety...Florida is just flat.

 

[mharrington]

Okay, maybe Florida is not one of the most geographically interesting locations in the USA. However, there are all kinds of things there: beaches, swamps, golf courses, maybe a trip down the Daytona 500 track. Just because geography isn't very significant doesn't mean it's not a good location.

I've just thought up a few more Studios additions:

1. Animagic: A brand-new Disney character show based on Animagique found at Walt Disney Studios Paris.
2. Cinemagic: Another show from France, all about the history of movies.
3. Whose Line Is It, Anyway?: Do It!: To go into the old Superstar Television location will be this new show based on the show Whose Line Is It, Anyway? Here, four guests chosen from the audience can partake in creating characters, scenes or songs on the spot based on audience suggestions or pre-written prompts from the host. The show takes the form of a fake game show where the host arbitrarily assigns points and chooses a "winner" at the end of each episode.. It's all the fun of the original show without Drew Carey!
4. Sounds Like Fun: A new sound attraction replacing Sounds Dangerous, done more in the style of the original Monster Sound Show.

So what do you think? C'mon, don't you have any ideas?

 

[mharrington]

The Epcot improvements are sort of a way to sort of bring some old attractions out of retirement: new versions of the old JII and World of Motion will be created. Even a new version of Magic Journeys will come in and a new ImageWorks.

 

[mharrington]

Sorry for the long delay, but here's some ideas for...

ANIMAL KINGDOM

Discovery Island
1. Menagerie Carousel: This is a double-decker carousel featuring animals from all over the world.

Latin America
A whole new land for Animal Kingdom! Some of these ideas are copied from stitchcastle. Just thought I'd give the heads-up.
1. Raging Spirits: This attraction from Tokyo DisneySea comes to Florida!
2. Amazon River Adventure: Take a rattan boat raft ride through the famed Amazon river and marvel at the beauty of the many birds who call this land home, come encounter and actually touch the elusive pink dolphin, play around with the slow Sloth, watch out for the lurking jaguar and have a harrowing experience with the deadly Piranha.
3. The Legend of the Snake God: Explore an ancient temple dedicated to the world's largest snake but you're warned not to go too deep as the ancient Snake God doesn't take kindly to strangers. This intense innovative new coaster type attraction combines the thrills of roller coasters and the experience of EMVs as you go through an ancient temple and anger the sinister Snake God. Trouble starts as soon as you trap yourself inside the sacrificial chamber and the walls reveal thousands of snakes slowly slithering towards you. Things don't get any better when you race through an old mine and are pursued by an angry giant anaconda and are ultimately wrapped in its coils ready for feeding. Will you escape?! Find out at this new E-ticket attraction.

Figment's Mythtopia
This is a new name I've thought up for that wet dream of all AK fans, Beastlie Kingdomme! This is the place where you can meet mythical beasts of all kinds. And it's hosted by Epcot's purple dragon, Figment!

1. 
   1. Griffin Flyers: Fly Dumbo-style aboard one of 16 griffins.
   2. Dragon Tower: A group of renegade bats take you deep inside a dark castle to steal the treasure that is heavily guarded by a sinister dragon. The most unique thing about this suspended roller coaster experience is that each ride vehicle has their own personality which affects the over-all experience whether the bat carrying you is faster, slower, angrier, jollier, and more.
   3. Quest For the Unicorn: This is a fanciful maze where you meet all kinds of mythical creatures in your hunt for the elusive unicorn.
   4. Lake Fantasia: This is a boat ride version of Disney's immortal classic, Fantasia!
   
   So, what did you think?

 

[mharrington]

3. It's a Small World: A new scene, towards the end of the ride, will be added, themed to the United States, a la Disneyland Paris. Also, during the Christmas season, it will become a Christmas version called "It's a Small World Very Merry Holidays".

Oh yeah, I just heard that Hong Kong Disneyland's upcoming IASW will have a twist: featuring Disney characters as well as the usual dolls. So in addition to the aforementioned improvements for WDW's ride, I will also pepper classic characters into the various sections in the ride.

 

[FigmentJedi]

Did you get the idea of Figment hosting Beastly Kingdom from me then? Did a whole thread on that that included a Figment hosted fantasy safari ride and a Minotaur EMV and the Griffin ride being a kids coaster.

 

[mharrington]

No, Tahu, I did not get the idea of Figment at the Animal Kingdom from you. The fact that you had that idea, too, is just coincidence.

 

[mharrington]

What do you think of my ideas here?

 

[Darth Plank]

I was bored and couldn't sleep and ideas just kept pouring in last night....

If I could improve and add my own magic to WDW I would do these things to...

You missed big thunder mountain and splash mountain! How about Kingdom Hearts for an idea?

Those were Stitchcastle's ideas to add to WDW, not summarize everything in every land...

I miss Stitchcastle's ideas...

Exactly, whether it's to add to existing attractions or create new ones from scratch. In fact, I kinda based a similar thread on this one: all about improving the other Disney parks worldwide. You can view them by clicking here: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=115646.

What do you think?

All i can think up

Sorry for not Quoting it the way im supposed to. (My computer was acting weird).. but anyway, i was thinking that maybe the carousel could detach from the circular track and the animals would come alive and race.. or something like that.. or maybe the carousel could be on a track and you could spin through the different enviornments in which the animals live in... or maybe even something crazier than that.. but either way i think it would be cool if the carousel looked like a normal carousel and some how ended up being far from normal

i really like the snake god ride... and i was wondering what you invisioned for the "wraped in its coils" part of the ride... i was thinking, since it is a temple you could have the ride wired so that arrows zip past you and giant boulders almost cush you. Then you could fall into a dark pit and the lights quickly turn on and there in front of u is a giant anoconda staring you in the face... or something like that..

what is the dragon tower's finale to the ride...?

 

[Darth Plank]

see my biggest plan for WDW and If I can improve Disneyland

 

[Darth Plank]

you people could shut down Stitch...

aren't those stitchcastle's ideas? it looks like it was just copied and pasted.

 

[mharrington]

Well, yes, those are stitchcastle's ideas, but I couldn't really think of anything on my own, save for the Menagerie Carousel, but even that is a bit unoriginal; it was just never built, so says Walt Dated World. Besides, I used other people's ideas here (especially Figment fan's) and no one really complains.
