This would be a very expensive and technologically advanced parade. If you expect someone to pay for it, you're either going to have to cut down some aspects or, at the very least, include more modern movies.

Here's my offer:
Replace Stitch with a similar Moana float
Replace Mulan and Alice with Zootopia, Frozen, Big Hero 6, or Gigantic (pick whichever two you like).

Add a Star Wars float.

Repurpose as my as possible from the main street electirical parade. No reason to rebuild things we already have. This will free up budget for your more over the top parts of the parade (drones)

 

[tcool123]

Hmm, I'll pay for 50% if all drones are cut, along with the Artimals in Lion King. Also, Lilo and Sitch has to be cut, with the finale unit changed to a carbon copy of Paint the Night.

How about for 50% of the funding :
Half of the Welcome Lanterns of Mulan Cut
Dumbo Unit Cut
10 Drones from the Princess Promenade Cut
Lilo and Stitch Cut
Chip and Dale Section of Final Unit Cut

It eliminates the amount of drones to just 10, along with six color changing lanterns and cast members, and two units cut along with the Chip and Dale section. I believe this is a fair trade.

I will pay 80% if you cut one of the two uses of LPS and sensors (either Pooh or for the Tea Cups - preferably Tea Cups)

Also if you bring the run-time down to about 15 minutes instead of 25-30 mins (which means cutting at least two floats) -- I'm trying to run a business here!

The Pooh LPS will be changed to how the whirlies run for MSEP aka someone drives them from within. The Tea Cups are changed to GPS, and not technically LPS Thus cutting out the use of LPS completely.

Lilo and Stitch and The Chip and Dale Floats are cut.

The Ocean Pavilion
Presented by United Technologies​

Introduction

Re-opening in 2021 to celebrate Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary, The Ocean Pavilion will be the third itineration of the aquatic pavilion at Epcot that opened its original doors in 1986. Transcending from the thematic inclusion of Nemo and Friends, the new pavilion seeks to merge the sense of discovery and adventure that the original Living Seas possessed, and couple it with a distinct flare. Given the recent release of the Disney film Captain Nemo in the late 2010s, going into the new decade, Jules Verne’s 20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea emerged as a popular Disney brand once again. While the original attraction at the Magic Kingdom could not be replicated, the story could continue on in a different direction. Much like Horizons was intended to be a sequel to the Carousel of Progress, The Ocean Pavilion will be a sequel to the 20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea attraction, by venturing towards the depths of our world’s oceans to explore the unknown.

The Ocean Pavilion Layout

The blueprint above outlines the façade of the Ocean Pavilion. Remaining structurally the same as before, only interior elements of the pavilion will be adjusted to fit the new story.

As guests walk through the main entrance they will queue for the omnimover dark ride “Ocean Oasis” – a breathtaking visual attraction as you launch from a sunken ship and voyage down to the lowest points in the known ocean to uncover the mysteries of the deep. Once the attraction concludes, you journey towards the oceanic research facility structured in a futuristic setting to illustrate the advancements in aquatic animal research, deep sea exploration, and the uncharted territories of our oceans.

Guests can also dine in our nautically themed restaurant replacing the Coral Reef entitled The Nautilus, themed and named after Captain Nemo’s submarine. Observe the serenity of fish swimming around in the tank to your side, as you take in the ambiance of this elegant Future World restaurant.

Entrance Mural​

Replacing the Finding Nemo themed mural on the side of the pavilion as you queue for Ocean Oasis will be a large scale illustration of one of the famous scenes of the giant squid attacking the Nautilus amid the depths of the ocean. A foreboding sight for what’s to come, but one that also entices the guests to find out more about what lies within…

Ocean Oasis
This slow moving dark ride takes you on a voyage to the depths of our oceans, exploring the mysteries and excitement within​

Interactive Queue​

As you enter through the Stand-By or Fastpass+ Queue, you are immediately immersed in the story of the pavilion.

Utilizing futuristic technology that allows scientists and adventurers alike to travel to the darkest depths of the ocean, a scientific exploration camp has been built in a sunken ship buried in the Abyssopelagic Zone – roughly 6,000 m below sea level in the Pacific Ocean. The missions have been traveling to the Hadalpelagic Zone and beyond, to discover the unknown of the ocean as well as help preserve the beauty of our underwater treasures.

Walking through the sunken ship you see the stunning visual of the ocean glistening over you. You enter the ship’s algae eroded library and several interactive elements allow guests to be entertained by touching the books, and gazing out at projection fish through the windows. Guests with a sharp eye will notice, hidden in the library, is a novel entitled “The Society of Explorers and Adventurers”

You then travel through the captain’s quarters, and towards the loading area.

Loading Area​

You approach the ship’s main lobby where your pods await to venture to the depths of the ocean. On the walls you see murals and illustrations indicating a possible heritage of the sunken ship. The ride vehicles are themed to oceanic rover pods that are capable of withstanding the immense pressure of the ocean floor. Guests approach the walkway towards the vehicles as the lap bar comes down and you leave the ship to explore the ocean.

Your tour through the ocean depths is narrated by Jeremy Irons.

Scene 1 – Light to Dark

Your pods are surrounded by projected screens that mimic a descent to lower levels of the ocean as you see sunlight glistening from above and descend into further darkness.

Narrator: “An ocean of knowledge and discover lies under the tempest crests of waves that sway around the earth. Our watery planet holds vast treasures of discovery and imagination that have intrigued man since the beginning of time.

Existing for four and a half billion years, the oceans have shaped the world, raising and lowering mountains, and creating a sediment below the waves of a geological record of time on earth. As we dive down deeper into the ocean, we hope to find a new alien world, teeming with discovery and opportunity.”

Scene 2 – Coral​

On your descent, you level out temporarily to interact with a variety of audio animatronic sea creatures in a coral reef setting.

Narrator: “Amid the ever expansive world under our ocean, we encounter creatures of the deep in their natural habitat, adapting to the pressure changes and alien ecosystem of their environment”

Scene 3 – Angler Fish

As you descend, pressures rise, and the lights dim, revealing the angler fish

Narrator: “In the aphotic zone of the ocean, we are approaching blackness, lost from the known world, and on a voyage into the unknown. Species such as the angler fish have genetically adapted to the dim light with the accessibility of light to guide them around in their exploration.

Scene 4 –Blue Whale​

A loud bellow can be heard, almost as if a submarine was approaching, but out of the watery image you can see your pods near a cliff of seaweed and coral as a giant animatronic whale beckons from the distance.

Narrator: “A giant of the sea, the Blue Whale is a symbol of the mighty ocean. These mammals breed our imagination to discover what other immense creatures does the deep dark ocean inhabit?

Scene 5 – Giant Squid​

Red tentacles flow out from the dark shadows of the water and it is then reveals to be a giant squid animatronic, similar to the squid in 20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

Narrator: “These mesmerizing yet terrifying creatures, giant squid inhabit the most exotic and alien worlds of the ocean.”

Scene 6 – The Ocean Floor

Your pods enter pitch black and after a brief narration, all is silent as you gaze out on the lunar ocean floor surface

Narrator: Approaching the bottom of the ocean floor, you look out at the landscape. The dark, cold, pressurized land…yet with all of its ailments, there is still life, finding a way and adapting to the pressure and silence of the sea.

Scene 7/8 – The Ocean Oasis​

You emerge from the ocean floor and begin to rise to a more light sensitive area and see a colorful array of fish and aquatic plants teeming in the distance

Narrator: “Out of the depths, there are areas that we still need to learn. Need to research and enthrall ourselves with the majesty that lives under the ocean. This is a populous world, and its our job into the future in order to do as much as we can to preserve and protect this beautiful ecosystem.”

Scene 9 – Hydrulators

As you begin to ascend even further, a subtle nod to the original pavilion is performed as bubbles surround your pods and demonstrate the “hydrulator” effect, this time ascending to the Oceanic Laboratory.

Narrator: After exploring the sea, voyaging into the unknown, and coming to terms with the true nature of the ocean, it’s our opportunity to bridge the gap heading into the future, and help protect, our ocean oasis

Your pods proceed to the unload area which is connected to the Oceanic Laboratory.

Oceanic Laboratory​

The interactive post show area, formally known as Sea Base Alpha, has been redesigned to resemble a futuristic marine laboratory. As you walk in you see dive tanks taking scuba divers into the large aquarium tank inside the pavilion, and interactive exhibits including a show called “Pacific” which elaborates on the eclectic species that populate our largest ocean.

Exhibits

Most of the animal shelter exhibits will remain relatively the same, because in any sort of realistic refurbishment to the pavilion, the animal habitats wouldn’t be tampered with or removed, rather the thematic elements around them would.

With that said, the Manatee exhibit, the Dolphin show, and the exotic coral reef stations will remain in place, only given an overlay of being a futuristic research laboratory instead of based on Finding Nemo themes.

Pacific Interactive Theater Show

This family friendly interactive show explores the nature of the creatures of the deep Pacific. Follow your guide, Donny Dolphin, a futuristic talking dolphin, as he shows you the ocean and interacts with you in the process. This show creates an atmosphere where guests feel as if they are part of the story and are able to have input into how the attraction plays out. Check your times guide for details.

The Nautilus​

The nautically themed restaurant based on Captain Nemo’s submarine The Nautilus, serves lunch and dinner daily in a relaxing, quaint setting, replacing the Coral Reef restaurant and updating the menu to offer a more eclectic sampling of fish including swordfish, oysters, clams, and more!

The Nautilus - Captain's Quarters


For special occasions, dine in the exclusive Captain Quarters, themed to Captain Nemo's dining room on the submarine as seen in the film. Euqipped with a wide variety of props and thematic backdrops that make you feel like you are truly 20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, be sure to check this out!

Conclusion
WIth The Land Pavilion next door, and the west side of Future World putting more of an emphasis on exploring and aesthetically beautiful locations, the Ocean Pavilion is the perfect match of Epcot futurism as well as the sense of adventure the current iteration of the pavilion is lacking. It will put the pavilion back on the map in a way never before seen! Thanks for reading and we'll see you soon!​

If the reboot of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea picks up momentum and starts filming soon, then you'll have a deal. IF you make it more 20,000 Leagues themed. Replace the narrator with Captain Nemo narrating. Things like that. Small changes
You have a good ride here, I'm not looking to radically change what you have. The average park guest will view losing an IP based attraction as a loss if it isn't replaced by another IP based attraction. I'm trying to avoid a backlash here.

My offer: wait a couple years. Add Capt. Nemo.
If the 20,000 leagues movie falls apart, cancel or retool the project.

WIth The Land Pavilion next door, and the west side of Future World putting more of an emphasis on exploring and aesthetically beautiful locations, the Ocean Pavilion is the perfect match of Epcot futurism as well as the sense of adventure the current iteration of the pavilion is lacking. It will put the pavilion back on the map in a way never before seen! Thanks for reading and we'll see you soon!​

I need Pacific cut in favor of Turtle Talk 3.0. Add an IP to Ocean Oasis, your choice: Moana, LM, Nemo, or 20K (contingent on reboot). And add make character dining at Nautilus. I'll do this for 30% of all merchandise sold in and within 50 feet pf the pavillion. 75% of all Captain's Quarters revenue. And a royalty of .5¢ per rider.

If the reboot of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea picks up momentum and starts filming soon, then you'll have a deal. IF you make it more 20,000 Leagues themed. Replace the narrator with Captain Nemo narrating. Things like that. Small changes
You have a good ride here, I'm not looking to radically change what you have. The average park guest will view losing an IP based attraction as a loss if it isn't replaced by another IP based attraction. I'm trying to avoid a backlash here.

My offer: wait a couple years. Add Capt. Nemo.
If the 20,000 leagues movie falls apart, cancel or retool the project.

A 75% or higher Rotten Tomatoes score and breaking ground after the 50th a good compromise?

I'd keep it 20K -- does the Turtle Talk 3.0 have to be themed to Crush? Or can it be something else using the same tech (preferably something themed to 20K)

Cut the character dining but you can have 50% of all merch and 80% of Captain's Quarters revenue.

I'll take it, if any and all 20K ride elements and Turtle Talk are contingent on an 80% or higher RT score, and makes double the amount of money the movie cost. Should that not happen, all 20K concepts sans Nautilus Dining, would be scrapped for Nemo or Moana.

Forget rotten tomatoes.
7.5 average score from imdb users and 100 mill opening weekend.

So just to be clear with your offer -- there wouldn't have to be any other IP franchises included right? Just based on the success of the upcoming film and adding more of the film in?

If the film isn't popular, then the project is either scrapped or reworked with a new IP.

The Seas might not be a beloved ride, but Nemo is a beloved movie. We need something beloved to replace it to avoid risking backlash.

If it's popular, then no other IPs are needed

Tough decision but I will go with....

I'll post one of my earliest concepts on these boards here and present it to the sharks.

This was meant to replace Voyage to the Crystal Grotto in Shanghaii Disneyland. It isnt super detailed since this was done for the One Sentence Competition.

The Princess's Story​

-In the preshow, the Royal Storyteller floats up near the crowd (the royal storyteller is a magical talking boat that looks similar to the boat from Wind Waker with a more human face carved on the front) and uses a simplified version Turtle Talk technology to ask a few kids what they dream of being when they grow up as well as tell everyone that he is going to tell the tale how Princess Tarina (An original princess to please Shanghai and their desire to have everything unique) found her story.

-Guests board the Royal Storyteller boat (not the AA one used in the preshow theater, but a regular high capacity boat version) for a journey down the river past scenes of classic princesses to hear how their stories help inspire Tarina’s in her quest to understand what her story will be.
-Tarina wonders if her story will be one of bravery like Princess Merida’s, one of love like Sleeping Beauty’s, one of curiosity like Princess Ariel’s, one of kindness like Snow White’s, or one of honor like Mulan’s but after hearing how Cinderella came from nothing and became one of the greatest princesses of all time, Tarina realizes that her story can be whatever she wants it to be!

-An original song about the nature of stories, dreams, and destiny plays as the boats enter into the caves under the castle where visuals of people who made their dreams come true are projected on the walls (the projections are all based on what the kids in the pre-show say they dream of being when they grow up like Astronauts or fire firefighters).
-The last scene involves the boat passing through the royal chamber of Princess Tarina who is now an adult and assures us that “she wrote her own story and now she lives happily ever after” before our boats go back outside to return to the dock.

-For the holiday season, the queue will skip the pre-show theater and go right to the ride through a hallway where storybooks set up the plot to get to the dock.
-The pre-show theater is then opened up as a small theater where the royal storyteller can interact with kids and tell them holiday stories (for whatever holidays they want to set this up for).

As you said, this isn't super detailed, so I'm not sure you're far enough along where a Shark would be helpful. I do like anything that is slightly interactive (a la Turtle Talk), so you may be on to something. This kind of story/vibe is a little outside of my comfort level so I think i'll have to defer to the other sharks.

On a side note, I guess I will have to admit that I've watched Princess Sophia a number of times (not my choice, no..really), but there was an episode I think where she was riding a boat and going through scenes of all the princesses that could potentially help her from her amulet. Similar vibe to what you are proposing and could make for a pleasant ride.
