Prompt 8 - Animals, and lots of em'
rivers-of-light-2016-4-5.jpg

Animal Kingdom is a special park, dedicated to the real, past, and mystical creatures. With Pandora: The World of Avatar and Rivers of light coming soon to make Animal Kingdom one of the best parks in the world, management decided to scrap Rivers of Light because they decided they were being too awesome:D. Now you are tasked with designing a new show. As armchair-Imagineers, it is up to you how you will dream up a replacement for the yet to open "Rivers of Light." Your "elevator pitch" will be to create at least the show's name, what makes the show unique, the main theme song (custom or on youtube, just post link) and a new story. Remember to think how this will affect the park as this is what brings people together at night.

Your pitch can be about anything that could possibly fit the theme of the current pavilions, but here are some guidelines:

1 - It will help if the original concept could have a holiday addition in the future - not a requirement...but it would give you an edge!
2 - It cannot have The Lion King, The Jungle Book, or Zootopia.
3 - It does not have to go in the same place, and you can do pretty much anything you'd like with it.
4 - No fireworks allowed -- courtesy to the animals.

Like last round, you can include 1-5 sentences in your description of the ride, two additional sentences for the holiday overlay and you can include up to 2 images. If you have a question? Feel free to ask!

You have until 7:00pm EST Thursday, December 1st.

Thank you and good luck fellow Imagineers!

~Moana's Polynesian Sea Adventure Show~
moana+poster.jpg


Moana's Polynesian Sea Adventure is an extension of Australia, which will be turned into a full land later -- characters of the film will sing songs from the Moana soundtrack and will also debut a Giant-sized blinged out singing animatronic crab.



The show will feature beautiful, bio-luminescent water that glows, moves and forms unique shapes and will be filled with beautiful boats that don gorgeous full blown sails and a giant floating centerpiece mountain will serve as the backdrop. The story will chronicle Moana's journey on the seas -- as she sings and interacts with the waters -- there will also be winds and lighting bolts from above to re-enact the storms she encounters. The skies will light up with thousands of bright, sparkling stars that will transform into signs to serve as a guide for Moana.

Disney's Princesses Present: A CELEBRATION OF SEASONS
seasons-change_3231387594e251eb.jpg

The show would be centered around a tree in the middle of the lake, whose leaves reflect the seasons.

The Winter Movement would feature a Frozen-over lake, which would be created by lifting up a large stage, and actors from Frozen would dance on the lake while the iconic songs played, and artificial snow is sprayed on the audience.

The Spring Movement would feature the iconic scene "Festival of Lights" from Tangled, and would be accomplished primarily using drones.

The Summer Movement would be based on Monoa, and would feature the "How Far I'll Go Scene."

The Fall Movement would be based off of Pocahontas, and would feature the "Colors of the Wind" Scene.

For my holiday overlay, the movement which starts the show will be based off the season that it currently is.

Yes
Exploration: an "Up" adventure (I'm not good at titles lol)

Russel, Carl Fedrickson, and Doug (from Pixars "Up") are on an adventure trying to visit Paradise Falls again, but navigating their new boat is difficult and they keep getting lost and ending up in different places.
Each scene involves their boat finding a new land full of animals (each land is really just a large floating stage that comes out on the lake where Rivers of Light is).
First Africa, then Asia, then someplace strange (full of mythical creatures), and finally an action packed climax in South America where Muntz is trying to kidnap and sell the local animals (including Kevin!)!
Along the way, Rusual teaches the grumpy Mr. Fredrickson to live and laugh with The animals because they're explorer's and an explorer is a friend to all!

The show would be a lot like Fantasmic mixing fountains, videos, lights, puppets, and live/costumed actors together with an unfogettable score (based around the score from the movie) to delight and enchant all who see it!

Beginnings

Standing on the hill overlooking the Tree of Life (near the park entrance) and down to the tree itself, guests can enjoy a new nighttime spectacular featuring projection mapping on the Tree of Life and its surrounding areas, fountains stationed in the Discovery River, special lighting effects, score music from Moana (shown below) and Suite of Dreams (minutes 16:25 - 17:45) will be re-titled into the show's signature song "Where Life Begins", and illuminated animal stilt walkers and kites mixed in, all to follow along one little ant as he finds himself at the start of something big.


As the Tree of Life and the surrounding areas fall dark and silent, we see a tiny seed fall from above, gently glowing as it lands, illuminating a single ant who looks on curiously before grabbing the seed and scurrying away; we follow his as he exits a tunnel into a brightly lit grassland.

We see the sun and moon pass by many times as the ant evades the stomping of bison and deer hooves, evades playful monkeys and exotic birds, rides the river waters on top of a small twig amidst a plethora of brightly colored fish and alligators, balances precariously on a single leaf as he is washed ashore by the splash of a giant whale, and is nearly carried off by a giant owl, all the while clutching his seed, but it’s as he is climbing a tree that the sound of chainsaws rings out and all around the ant, trees are falling until the tree he is clinging to starts to topple causing the ant to lose his grip on the seed and both tumble into darkness.

Next we see the ant, he is battered and desperately searches for the seed among the wreckage of the forest destruction and is visibly relieved when he finds the seed; he hurries along and comes to a barren patch of land where nothing has grown, and as he plants the seed into the soil, he lets out a tiny series of chirps (almost as if he is making a wish) and suddenly, the seed starts to sprout, rising higher and growing bigger as the music swells.

The now towering tree brings a rush of water and (along the edge of the crowd) groups of illuminated animal stilt walkers in varying animal types make their way to the tree, the fountains start to dance and each one shows different types of animals flocking to the tree (snakes, reptiles, insects, etc.), while in the river several floats shaped like whales, dolphins, and other aquatic creatures glide around the base, and the bird kites twirl overhead; as they all gather under the tree, they each disappear from view and reappear as a carving on the tree, gradually becoming the Tree of Life and before the area goes dark again, we see the highlighted, carved image of the tiny ant who struggled to bring life to barren patch of soil.
Hidden-Magic-Ant-web.jpg

For the autumn holiday, a scene will be switched out where the ant falls from the owl’s grasp and instead of landing in a bed of wildflowers, he falls through a canopy of red/orange leaves before landing in a large pile of them, and we see the ant poke his head out of the top of pile before continuing on his path.

For the winter holiday, the ant will track through snow, leaving a tiny trail of footprints while snow falls overhead from the tree and other nearby buildings onto the audience.

artvogt_woodchuck_02.jpg
Wesley Woodchuck came about as Walt was heading back on the train from his disastrous meeting, heartbroken that Oswald was no longer his character.

While gazing out of the window he overheard a child repeating the famous tongue twister, How Much Wood Could A Woodchuck Chuck and was inspired to create a new character that he was determined to keep as a Disney original.

Wesley, is a plucky young woodchuck with the penchant of getting in over his head, but he has a good heart and will stand up for the little guy when needed.

His best gal, Wanda Woodchuck, does her best to support Wesley, and she gamely follows along on his adventures, although she is often the one to pull him out of trouble.

This new character will come stand for the same American principles that Walt wanted to emulate, and it was all inspired by the very audience Wesley was designed for, a child.

Prompt 9 - A mini-land for a mini-park
n018348_2050jan01_studio-park-entrance_900x360.jpg

Walt Disney Studios is quite frankly the worst Disney park in the world, but its fantastic attractions (albeit few of them) are the park's saving grace. As armchair-Imagineers, it is your job to create a new mini-land in the area of The Rock n' Rollercoaster. You MUST include the Rock n' Rollercoaster in some way, either by a retheme or something along those lines that will allow it to be a part of the new mini-land.

MAP: http://www.disneylandparis.co.uk/attractions/map/


Your pitch can be about anything, but here are some guidelines:

1 - It has to be a cohesive new theme (Ex. Frontierland or Toy Story Playland).
3 - It must connect to the Rock n' Rollercoaster, and be in that area of the park.
3 - It will help if you can theme it to a holiday overlay -- it may give you an edge!


Like last round, you can include 1-5 sentences in your description of the ride, two additional sentences for the holiday overlay and you can include up to 2 images. If you have a question? Feel free to ask!

You have until 7:00pm EST Saturday, December 3rd.

Thank you, and good luck fellow Imagineers!

New Life - Water Pageant
Protarasshow1.jpg


*Sidenote if you look back at most of my DAK projects I use this artist because I think his compositions fit really well in the park, anyway moving on:p

New Life will be a celebration of oneness between humans and animals - and the journey we both have taken on the planet. What separates this from a normal water show is that it doesn't just take place in the Discovery River Basin - it is a Water Pageant! Floats of Animals and water pyrotechnics will travel around the Discovery River with a grand finale show in the basin area. Large fountains will soar 50 feet into the air as the music swells. In addition - drones will fly overhead (akin to the holiday show at Disney Springs) and illuminate the stars with constellations of animals - showing how nature and us are connected all around.

I love the message. Lasers, light you have it all! The message works great too, and a closing song like We Are One could fit extremely well. This seems like Rivers of Light on Parade I think it would be neat. Also great song choice!:D It is actually pretty darn good.
