Its basically a competition where you present to imagineers ride ideas in sketches, drawing, etc and if you become a finalist, you go to glendale for free and present your projects personally. They can provide you internships and if you prove to be good, you can keep a job.
I think ill participate when i finish school.

Hey guys! I've decided to revisit a couple of my favorite ideas for the parks.
here's a quick over view of the "Lights! Camera! Dreams!" show for DHS
concept for the attraction poster featuring the main cast:
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/stitchcastle/lcdcopy.jpg
The Streets of Disney's Hollywood Studios are alive! with the sound of Lights! Camera! Dreams!, a musical extravaganza set on and around Hollywood Boulevard. A young girl, fresh from a bus from her hometown dares to follow her dreams and conquer the world of the movies, with a little help from the many characters she meets in the streets of Hollywood, all set to the most beloved songs and music of cinema.
This most elaborate broadway-caliber is presented every dusk right in front of the Chinese Theater, with your favorite streetmosphere performers getting in on the story of Julie and her dream to become a famous movie star.
The show will require for the entire Chinese Theater's facade to be raised a whole floor to make room for the technically elaborate "hidden" stage that will be built at the park's plaza that would allow the streets themselves to change form through out the show. numerous lighting equipment will be installed and hidden all around Hollywood Boulevard along with an impressive new sound system that lets guests feel the music and songs all around them.
The show starts with a red double deck bus making its way through Hollywood boulevard and as the music swells, our heroine Julie hops off and announces her joy of finally being in Hollywood ("The Streets Are Alive!" -< reworked version of 'The Sound of Music'> But she is interrupted by a policeman who tells her that she's not allowed to sing without a permit. ("Officer Crupke" from West Side Story) Julie then goes immediately to audition in an open casting call ("I Have Confidence" -- The Sound of Music mixed with "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast) in which she meets superstar Madeline Moore ("Poor Unfortunate Souls" -- The Little Mermaid) who gets her immediately rejected, she then walks away with the other rejects ("I Want" Song medley) One of the rejects hooks her up with a job as a waitress where she meets Mel Rose, the den mother of all the failed dreamers like her ("Hakuna Matata" -- The Lion King/"Tomorrow" -- Annie). Julie soon finds herself a happy home as a waitress in the diner ("Be Our Guest" -- Beauty and the Beast) but she still holds on to her dream of stardom ("Tomorrow" Reprise)
One day, a writer comes to the diner all sad that Madeline Moore got mad at him even though he is madly in love with her. Julie gives him tips as to how to show her ("That's How You Know" -- Enchanted), Little did she know that the movie producer was actually watching her and immediately recruits her to join the picture, but then the writer has already fallen in love with her ("Part of Your World" -- The Little Mermaid) and later on they meet in an abandoned set where they confess their love to each other ("A Whole New World" -- Aladdin/"Elephant Love Medley" -- Moulin Rouge) Upon hearing of Julie being cast as a costar or even as a probable replacement, Madeline Moore gets furious and vows to get rid of her once and for all ("And I am Telling You" -- Dreamgirls)
anyway, it's getting late ^_^ sorry to leave you guys hanging but i'll continue tomorrow for now, here's the entrance for Animal Kingdom's "Temple of the Anaconda" http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/stitchcastle/anacondafacade.jpg

OK heres my idea:
Temple of the anaconda
Join a thrilling expedition deep in the forest, inside an old, inhabited temple. But beware: the temple is flooded, and its waters may hold something more than meets the eye...
I like the idea of a luge flume/roller coaster/dark ride combination, like journey to atlantis in sea world. So the premise is that youre part of a group in the search of a gold city deep inside a temple in the amazonas. You board your jeeps and begin your descent, but the tension builds up as you encounter traps left by the mayans (for example blades that come from the ground and you have to evade, and a dead end where you almost fall in an abyss and have to go backwards to avoid falling), and huge AA insects (this part is like indiana jones). soon, you encounter a current.. the temple is flooded! The waters are dark and you keep hearing strange noises. You can see strange fish that jump around you (there is a whole ecosystem there). Suddenly, something hits your jeep (that has converted in a boat), somehting BIG. You keep going but you can see that waves form near you, something is moving under water. You keep going and arrive in a river where the water falls on both sides (you are in the middle and on both sides there is water falling down). The river becomes more narrow and down under, you cann see a city full of gold. The lost kingdom! Pyramids of gold and cascades of liquid gold. But in front of you, a huge anacond appears abruptly (and breaks the tension that has built) and moves its head above all the people in the car. Your car moves sideways quickly to escape, but you stop as you see that if you keep going, you will drop. But the anaconda makes the anaconda grabs your boat by teh back and shakes it quickly. You must escape! So the boats keeps going and drops (80 feet, or so..) until you arrive on the floor and see that everything is covered with eggs, and some eggs are hatching.
The anaconda apperas (apparently it has dropped, too) and moves towards your car, but a pyramid breaks and a lot water flows in front of you, blocking the anaconda. Your boat accelerates toward a lagoon that has formed, trying to escape, while rocks fall from the ceiling (the city cannot hold teh water pressure any more) Multiple snakes (middlesized) appear from everywhere, but something in front of you scares you even more: a huge maelstrom. The anaconda tries to grab you boat again and you both drop through the maelstrom (roller coaster part). This part is intense and lasts around a minute. You can still see the snake trying to catch you, but the water swallows the anaconda and the last thing you see is its tail, moving.. and you arrive save in the jungle.. again. Nature chose to protect you.
What do/dont you like? please be honest!

I have another idea for the amazon part of animal kingdom. It is called
Journey into the Amazon and combines real animal habitats with holograms and artificial sets, a tame motion simulator and a ride system comparable to ellen's energy adventure. it would be like the equivalent of kilimanjaro safaris, but in the amazon area
Sounds complicated, but ill explain later.

the basic idea is that you're making a tour to the amazon rain forest.
The facade will be similar to the village houses found in the amazon.
the queue is also well themed, with maps indicating where you are and what was your traveling route (from eg orlando to an airport in brazil, or something like that), photos, artifacts, etc.
in the preshow room, you will find seats (ill explain later why) and a very nice guy who is your guide. with an old television, he explains how the tour will work and warns you of the dangers of this tour. the special thing of this ride is, it feature stand up vehicles! why? because its different and the amazon rain forest tours are made walking (believe me, ive made them)
--- this is how the vehicles could be, only that theyll have no wheels and will be connected to a big platform hat moves through a track, and theyll move like a motion simulator to simulate walking, running etc.. I still havent figured out how to install the "seatbelt", though.. (remember, this is just blue sky phase!)
So, everyone steps over his own vehicle and you see a brief film as an introduction (the film is projected over an IMAX dome that is on the roof. then, the dome (and the theater) open to reveal the real jungle (outdoors part)... just when it was projecting the same image as outside (to make the transition more believable) ...everything is pretty much like kilimanjaro safaris, but the vehicles sometimes move into buildings to recreate scenes with the real animals youve just seen and holograms (for example you see a real snake. Then, you do not notice but you enter a building where, with holograms, the guide trying to catch the snake is projected, catching it and then showing it to everyone and explaining a little). there is also a part where you have to "walk though a river" and it looks pretty realistic (you see real animals of the river, too). then, you enter a dark cave and see other animals and insects (real combined w/holograms). Almost at the end of the ride you encounter an illegal goldmine that is installed in the river and pollutes it (this ihappens indoors) .the hologram-guide and you throw out the miners and free some caged animals they had. then, he calls the authorities. helicopters come and policemen destroy the facilities and oh.. happy ending (this is all holograms)
most of the ride will be random so that you dont see the same holograms again and again. (in the first part, anyway)
so, questions? i know i haven't explained clearly. (im on a rush). and what ideas do you think are bad?

American Idol: Be the Superstar! at the Disney-MGM Studios
-Guests take part either as a voting audience or singing contestants in this extravagant new character stage show that takes real guests and unleash the singing idol within. The grand prize? The chance to record your own demo CD and the opportunity to be a part of the actual American Idol top 100.
-The Idol theater (modeled to look like the famous Kodak Theater in Hollywood) will be located beside Rock n' Roller Coaster to create a "Music" themed area for the studios.
wow...talk about foreshadowing

Yeah.. stitchcastle thought up of both a Laugh Floor Comedy club- type attraction, as well as the American Idol thing.... and they somehow ended up as actual attractions.

It's not EXACTLY like the laugh floor, but it has the same concept.

Not only that... bt stitchcastle's idea of the prize for the American Idol attraction is the actual prize! The top 100 idea, anyway.
