LOST: The Experience

[audiotinker]

Also, ToT is very loosely based off the Twilight Zone which is why it works so well. The only reference to the Twilight Zone in the queue is in the library on the television screen, and then the special effects before the drop. To anyone who has not seen the show, the ToT appears to be a haunted hotel where several people died when the elevator was struck by lightning. This is double meaning is what will keep ToT a timeless attraction at WDW for generations.

This is why I think an attraction would work, if you loosely based it off of LOST, making it more about a "creepy experience" (likening to AE, but not at all the same) then I think it would work. No one needs to know all the details to "get it", just a cool time warping/smoke monster/creepy voices/and elements that would make a good stand alone ride. Lost fans would be happy because ITS A LOST RIDE (yay!) and non-fans would be happy with its non-specificity (wow that is a huge word!). :sohappy:

What you proposed sounds awesome! You know what would be cool is the opening sequence of the initial plane crash. That would be a great replacement for the Sounds Dangerous show.

Never thought of that... but awesome! I'm so there like right now! :wave:

I'm so not scared of flying, but that plane crash scares the pants off of me! I wouldn't want to fly home after a plane crash attraction :lol:

Anyway, I am a huge Lost fan (I fell asleep snuggling the DVD set the other night :lookaroun) but the more I think about it, the more I don't think an attraction would work. I love the idea of a Tom Sawyer-esque island to explore, but other than that, I don't think it would work too well.

I'd much rather have a Wipeout course over at WWOS than anything from Lost anywhere in the World, but that's just me.

Have the ride as a recently found hatch with an orientation tape with Dr Pierre Chang in the queue and that should be all you need. Have the riders experience an attack from Smokey and a few blasts through time and you have a great ride!

Something like that would work too, but I do think it would be good to try to educate people a little about how the show ended up. Calling it LOST and automatically going with DHARMA could cause some more confusion. Aerosmith route with a castmember or two discovering it with you may work best.

Agreed!

Get rid of Tom Sawyer Island and make it the Lost Experience. You get rid of a boring attraction and you replace it with a very popular Show.

I would love an attraction that would never seem to end but I dont think I could deal with the never-ending pointlessness of what it would be.

Lost was no more pointless than any other show.

Use Lost instead of Narnia experience at DHS. I will go for that at least.
