Let’s pretend that the movies of the Disney “Dark Ages” (early 2000s) were HUGE hits. What rides would they have?

[unmitigated disaster]

Emperor's New Groove roller coaster in South America at Animal Kingdom. It would have been a natural.

Or Yzma's Secret Lab roller coaster ride. It was in the movie!

This was where my mind first went to as well. At some point, you'd pull a lever in the car, something crazy would happen or maybe a complete "power outage" or maybe even nothing, and then Yzma would say, "I don't even' know why we have that lever."

Also, had Atlantis been a hit, it could've potentially saved the submarine voyage via overlay.

I have this mental image of them giving Big Thunder Mountain Railroad a Home on the Range overlay.

Not sure if the empty lagoon was still there at the time, but 20,000 Leagues would have likely received a very cheap Atlantis overlay.

Yeah, there was actually a plan at one point to turn the submarine voyage into Atlantis Expedition. Apparently signs went up and everything due to a miscommunication and the imagineers had thought the project got green lighted but it hadn’t. I would’ve rather had Fire Mountain, the Atlantis attraction planned for Adventureland, instead of a cheap re-theme.

I love the lists

here's mine

Atlantis - Fantasyland - (in 20,000 leagues)
Lilo and Stitch - Adventureland - (MK)
Brother Bear - Camp Minnie Mickey - (AK)
Home on the Range - Living with the Land, (AK) or (MK)
Meet the Robinsons - Tomorrowland (MK) or Epcot
Emperor's New Groove - (AK)
Wall-E - Epcot - (in Ellen's Energy Adventure)

How about the Rama Llama Ding Dong dark ride over in the Animal Kingdom for Kuzko ?

Sounds good, it also sounds like a tasty treat. "Get your very own Llama Ding Dong only at Animal Kingdom".

That counts for sure!

Meet the Robinsons is Practically made for tomorrowland. Something in the sge space or a carousel of progress retheme would do nicely

Shame the movie didn't connect with audiences.

Always thought Chicken Little would make an excellent classic-Fantasyland dark ride--even as a box office bomb!

Atlantis would make for a stellar attraction as well, though that one is a bit more obvious.

Shame the movie didn't connect with audiences.

it did at least later on. I think it could happen if the movie got a huge increase in popularity like with hocus pocus, but it definitely should happen! an omnimover would also work well cause it keeps moving forward

Not a disney movie but a dark ride based off the 2006 curious george movie could be absolutely Gorgeous. easily could have seen it doing the 2 1/2 d thing before runaway railway did.

That would have been a great upgrade concept for Universal if it was somehow a smash hit.


Also, if all 2000's animations were hits, that would make Titan AE valuable as a possibility of dark and gritty Alien Encounter level future somewhere in Tomorrowland because being a Fox property.

Georgeous.

Idk what ftfy means
