Okie Dokie guys! I figure we might as well get started throwin ideas around and here's the place to do it...
I'm not sure how you guys wanna go about the competition, but I personally wanna bring something very different to each land, even reimagining each land. For Main Street, I figure there's a few ways to do this, although I'm not sure if we HAVE to keep it the turn of the century theme...
1940's Main Street
This design probably wouldn't be too different from current Main St designs. The biggest difference is that the theme would be Small Town USA at the end of WWII...
I think it'd be real neat to travel back to this time of extreme patriotism. I can easily see the Main St Cinema playing news reels and the WWII Donald Duck cartoons, Rosie the Riveter and Uncle Sam posters hung up on lamp posts, soliders coming home from the war celebrating with citizens during the opening ceremony, etc.
I'm not sure how the Carousel of Progress would fit into this interpretation of the land, but then again, I think putting CoP in Main Street period is sort of a stretch...
Jules Verne-y Main Street
I personally think this could be pretty sweet. It'd be kinda like Discoveryland in DLP, only not so much... Maybe more of an "Edison Square". Idk, this one's more up in the air. I haven't really thought it through at all... I think COP would fit perfectly in a land like this...
Of course there's also the 1920's Main St....
The other possiblility is having Main St branch off into many streets, kinda like Walt intended to do in DL. You could have Liberty St, Edison Sq, International St, etc. two of these could be shortcuts to different lands, for example if one street were themed around Jules Verne, it could inlude a plaza with a couple of attractions/restaurants and would serve as a transition to the two lands.
As for COP, if we were to go with a traditional turn of the century Main St, I think it'd work best as almost like a World's Fair exhibit. Something that is litterally saying, "this is how it could be". So then alot of the scenes (especially for the future) could be from the point of a perso living in the turn of the century.
The other option would be to do it like museum dedicated to Walt. I've always thought the attraction could be perfect as a sort of "Walt Disney Story" type thing... the show would start off with the Host talking about how Walt was the ultimate optimist, then the curtains would open, you'd have the turn of the century, 1920's, 40's, 60's, 80's, then for the grand finale (the future), the curtain rises and you see the giant EPCOT model completely restored, with Walt explaining his concept on a projection screen behind it. After the ride, there'd a postshow similar to One Man's Dream...
Anywho, I'm just kinda throwin ideas out there... What do you guys think??
