MST3K at WDW? (an idea)

[Animaniac93-98]

What is MST3k you ask? well click on this link and read and look at these pictures, it will help you understand what this thread is about.

Now that we have that done, let us continue.

My idea is for a new attraction based on this gone-but-not-forgotten TV show. It would be located in Tomorrowland (now everyone, please stop throwing bricks at me and just read what I have to say) where Stitch's Great Escape is now (now are you happy?).

You would enter the attraction the same as you would any other with the sign above you (pic will be posted later) and through the doors. The room would look exactly the same, with the TVs on the right side of the wall and the galatic federation prision sign on the left.

Suddenly the TV screens come on showing the TV shows three main characters on the bridge to Tomorrowland
Tom Servo: Thanks for getting me these mouse ears Joel, I've always wanted them.
Crow: I want them too.
Joel: Crow, I already asked you that when we were on Main Street, and you said you didn't want them.
Crow: but I changed my mind and I demeand these ears from you.
Joel: Well your not getting them now, and... (looking at the audience) Oh hi everyone, my name is Joel Robinson, I used to be in the Satallite of Love watching cruddy old movies with my robot pals, Tom Servo and Crow. But now that there back on Earth, i'd thought I'd take them to Disney World.
Crow: (annoyingly) Joel, my hat!
Joel: Not now crow, I'm trying to...
Crow: (he begins to throw a temper tantrum) I WANT! I WANT! I WANT! I....
Joel: Alright I'll get you your stupid hat, but only if you save my place in line at Stitch's Great Escape.
Crow: (agrivated) oh allright!
Tom Servo: I sure am lovin' these ears!
Crow: oh shut up you gumball machine..
Joel: I guess I'll see you in a bit everyone.

The TV screen goes off and The Magic Voice tells everyone to enter the next room.

Once again it looks just like Stitch's Great Escape (skippy and all), except this time, the robot cop is gone, and in his place are AAs of Tom Servo and Crow

Tom Servo: You know I really am looking forward to this ride
Crow: Oh com'on Tom you know this ride sucks! Didn't you read any of those Disney fourms before we left?
Tom Servo: Yes But i think it's important to develop ones own creative thoughts by experiencing things on your own, and..
Crow: (snores loudly)
Tom Servo: oh real mature ears wanter!
Crow: Hay! Don't bring up that you Trip Ruening, Ears gloating...
(suddenly, Dr. Clayon Forrester appears on screen as a food vendor elsewhere in the park)
Clayton: Here's your ice cream jimmy
Little girl:But Jimmy's a boys name, and I ordered popcorn!
Clayton: (yelling in her face) Just dam the dam food you little runt! (girl runs screaming, then Clayton looks at camera) It's you! Yours Joel's stupid robots aren't you?
Tom Servo: Hay! It's Forrester (looks at Crow) I thought he was dead, how've you been buddy?
Clayton: How I've been?! I'm been selling food at some overpriced theme park for the past several years! How do you think I've been feeling! Especially when I can't evn show you crappy movies anymore to complete my experiment, and..(his look changes from agitated to sinister)
Crow: I don't like that look
Tom Servo: Don't try to ruin our vacation, we want to see Disney rides!
Clayton: Oh you'll see a Disney ride! (laughs evily) Your experiment for today is an outdated peice of garbge called Flight to the Moon, it only lasted 4 years here! Enjoy! (laughs evily while sirens go off where Tom and Crow are)
Tom and Crow unanimously: We've got movie sings!

Guests then proceed through the famous doors from the TV show (the Mike era ones) and into an exact replica of the Flight to the Moon theater, complete with orange walls and bad Sci-Fi cast member costumes. This time however Joel, Tom and Crow, all as AAs are sitting with the audience laughing and joking there way through the attraction. Afterwords, guests exit finding yet another failed experiment by Dr. Clayton Forrester (but not before they can buy some MST3k stuf in the gift shop).

The attraction would have different jokes recorded so each show would be a little different. and of course the Joel AA would be very sophisticated. All of the original cast from the shows 2 through 7th season would do the voices and make appearneces in the videos.

Comments and suggestions?

 

[SOLISIMO]

Haha, I remember that show, I believe it was on comedy central before it was removed. Long story short for those that dont know. Its basically three comedians voicing over an old movie, very funny:ROFLOL:

 

[Fun2BFree]

Uh.... Wow.

Definitely imaginative. I like the idea of using MST3K, however to nitpick, it would become dated quite fast. And maybe the references to Flight to the Moon would go WHOOSH over the heads of many guests.

 

[CThaddeus]

Well, you know I like the idea of an MST3K attraction (as posted in my hijack of the Hall of Presidents thread). But I really don't like the idea of it being in the Magic Kingdom (some of their humor wasn't exactly G-rated). I also like Stitch's Great Escape, so I'm not ready for it to be removed yet. It fits so much better in the Studios as a link to both the television medium and the awful B-movie medium. Perhaps a better location might be somewhere near the Sci-Fi Diner...maybe in the ABC Commissary (does anyone ever eat there?). I'm all for slamming bad Disney/Touchstone movies like "Cocktail" and "Armageddon." I'd love for something interactive like Turtle Talk, but with more fun and inside, adult-ish humor...in other words, something you could get away with on Comedy Central, but not offend the kiddies and parents.

ed: Also, to be honest, I wouldn't want to slam an old Disney attraction like Flight to the Moon. In its day, it was very forward thinking and futuristic...certainly more than some current Tomorowland attractions like Laugh Floor.

I used to love that show! That would be cool...except it is't Disney. :brick:

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Thaks for the suggestions everyone

I would love to see Disney/Tuchstone stuff made fun of (like The Island at the Top of the World (1974) or The Black Hole (1979) or the awful remake to That Darn Cat! even though I like those first two movies) but good luck convincing Disney to insult there own movies.

As for family friendly, kids did watch the show (not sure if they got the jokes, but they watched it), and since when was AE for kids? I just chose Flight to the Moon, because to the average guest the attraction would be laughable today, even though Disney fans would just like it the way it is.
And it would fit into tomorrowland (as would the robots from the show). It also doesn't take long to "get" Flight to the Moon. The show is already gone so there is no way it could get more dated. Plus you could sell the DVDs for the show in the attractions gift shop.

Now that you mention it CThaddeus, next to the Sci Fi Dine In Theater would be better since some of the trailers show are for movies made fun of on MST3K.

Mabey they could make fun of Plan 9 From Outer Space?

 

[unkadug]

No one's going to want to waste an hour and a half watching a movie at WDW.

I also don't think that it would be in the spirit of Disney to tear apart a Disney movie either! :shrug:

 

[Testtrack321]

Good idea but...

Mystery Science Theater 3000 Dine-In Theater....

yeah... make the food better, redo the costumes so the waiters are in jump-suits, make everything look like it should be on the SOL, and add new shorts/movies/host segments....

of course, you need to enter the whole thing through a box of Hamdingers.

 

[lunarsquid]

I love the idea of seeing MST at Disney, although I'd much rather have Mike
instead of Joel... and Pearl instead of Dr. Forrester.
But that's just me.

Unfortunetly, i don't think the majority of guests would know what the heck they were watching, and would leave scratching their heads...

..then again, Bobo would make one heck of new character to walk around.

 

[EpcotServo]

I've always wanted a Mystery Science Theatre in one of the MGM soundstages. It' would be like LMA where there are 30 minute shows throughout the day featuring the gang riffing on shorts. (That would be changed out every once and awhile.)


I'm afraid that we won't get Mystery Science Theatre 3000-The Ride until the show comes and back and Disney buys it. (both sadly doubtful to ever happen.)

I love the idea of them riffing Disney shows though. (I want a RiffTrax for Disney shows!

-Impressions De France

-O, Canada!

-HISTA

-Hall Of Presidents

-Reflections of China

-Norway film

That would be great!)
:lol:

 

[Animaniac93-98]

I used to love that show! That would be cool...except it is't Disney. :brick:

Neither is Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings (for anyone who wants Disney to get it), Singin' in the Rain, Footlight parade, Public Enemy, Alien, Casablanca, Wizard of Oz, anything at the Sci Fi Dine in Theater, the entire MGM company etc.

If Disney wants it they could get it (except Harry Potter).

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

I've had a concept for MST3K based attractions for a long time and never really mentioned it except to my friends and have used it as part of a fantasy based park. But, a Gizmonics Institute themed area with 2 attractions one being a simulater attraction called "Escape From Deep 13" Where you embark to Deep 13 with Crow & Servo to retrieve a vital item for Mike..I don't like to spoil what they are going for tho. And the Second is Mystery Science Theater 3000-D: The 3D Experiment....Enough Said

 

[Tom Morrow]

I love MST3K... but hardly anyone knows what it is. That alone is a reason it would never work.

 

[imagineer boy]

I loved MST3K and enjoy Rifftrax too. Of course, it would never happen and I think it would be better off at MGM rather than TL ( hey, they make fun of bad movies, movies are what MGM is all about! ). It would still be cool though. Maybe it could work as some sort of 3-D movie or somthing.

 

[lifeguard1020]

I love the idea of them riffing Disney shows though. (I want a RiffTrax for Disney shows!

That would be great!)
:lol:

Actually, you may have just come up with a GREAT idea for a new "Fan Based Disney Appreciation Initiative." We could call it the FBDAI. (That wasn't really supposed to make sense...)

Seriously tho...we really should look into creating RiffTrax for some of that stuff...I have a good number of the RiffTrax and enjoy them all...
Let me know when you want to get together to start writing...

Now, *that* would be one heck of a great revamp. Perhaps they could play an MST3K'd movie only at dinner.

 

[mpoppins76]

Ooooo I used to LOVE that show!! :sohappy: :sohappy:

 

[Sumshine 904]

Not a bad idea. I used to love watching that with my sister!

 

[lifeguard1020]

Okay, it is time...

I have decided to bring this back up. I seriously think we need to consider getting this started. I'm currently working on a Rifftrax-esqe sudio track to go along with spaceship earth. you would have it on your ipod an listen to it during the attraction. Just imagine what we could come up with for the something like Ellen's Energy Adventure, or even The Great Movie Ride...

I know someone will say it eventually, so I guess I'll just beat them to the punch: Holy thread resurrection, Batman!
But, it's still a good idea. Now, though I think I'd prefer it take the place of the horribly ill-conceived American Idol attraction. That would give the former ABC Theater location something worthwhile, and we wouldn't have to deal with wannabes screeching over the Jumbotron.
