Well if we are adding this to MK, I think Fantasmic! fits better at the Studios then here.
Not real sure about the One Man's Dream thing, I have no clue what it is like,but if it is a show about Walt as a Visonary that would work well.
What is this Nemo scene, is it about Captain Nemo from 20,000 Leauges under the sea? If so we could simply incorperate that into a new nighttime show on the bay (see previous diagram) both the Nautiluis and the Mountain are either on or bayside so those could be incorpetated into a all new show about Discovery and Adventure with a Vernian flair.
What about a stage show about "Around the World in 80 Days"
What if we built a mountain range starting from the current mountain area and looping around the right side of the land untill it is across from the other side. This would give more room for the Hyperion Adventure and The Great Contraption and Time Machine could swtich places(giving a more cocealble show area to TGC) Then we shift gyser mountain facade to the bend of the new arc and we add in JttCote where Geyser Mountain used to be.
Here's a quick sketch from bottom left corner going coutner clockwise, attractions would be: 20,000 Leauges under the sea, jttcote, gyser mountain, TGC, Hyperion Adventure, The Time Machine,
(By the way, just so you know ... DL's Entertainment staff did actually script a replacement for "Fantasmic!"'s "Peter Pan" sequence. This would have involved Captain Nemo & his crew - riding on top of a partially submerged Nautilus - floating in from stage left and a huge inflatable squid floating from stage right.
The two parties would have grappled for a bit in the middle of the Rivers of America, while Mickey appeared on Tom Sawyer's Island - seated in front of a massive pipe organ. The Mouse was supposed to hammer out a quick excerpt from Bach's "Toccata & Fugue in D Minor," which was meant to be the musical accompaniment for this epic sea battle. These proposed "Fantasmic!" addition would have reached its climax when Nemo plunged his harpoon into the snapping jaws of the squid. Whereupon the entire waterfront would have gone dark ...which supposedly would have allowed the show to make a smooth transition to its next sequence.
Sounds pretty wild, doesn't it? Well, for a time, this sequence was under serious consideration as something new that could be folded into Disneyland's "Fantasmic!" Of course, this was back in the day when DL's Entertainment Office thought that it would be freshening up this New Orleans Square waterfront show every couple of years or so. So - in addition to writing this Nemo scene - they also scripted new sequences for DL's version of "Fantasmic!" that would have been staged to the "Just Can't Wait to Be King" song from "The Lion King," the "Friend Like Me" number from "Aladdin" as well as "The Colors of Wind" from "Pocahontas."
But then the folks in the Team Disney building in Anaheim went on another one of their cost cutting binges. Which is why Disneyland's Entertainment staff eventually abandoned the idea of freshening up their version of "Fantasmic!" Of course, some of the ideas that they scripted eventually ended up in the Disney / MGM version of "Fantasmic!" ... But that's a story for another time ...)

...The Nemo Scene I will guess will fit so why don't we expand a new show off of that.
Eh, scratch "around the world in 80 day's" the more I think about it the less appealing it becomes, maybe we could do something about Verne, Wells and Walt altogether in one show, dunno, I am really struguling to see a live show here at all.....
Let's see your diagram then we can work somethign out.
As far as rides I really see no problem if we make one minor adjustment, ie make jttcote a pure darkride basically just remove the boost and drop at the end, in it's place have a large show room, with the stormy sea and the sea monster battle, this would be a spetacular scene but no real thrill physically. So that would leave us with the following breakdown:
High
Hyperion Adventure: EMV Intensity: 6
Gyser Mountain: Intensity: 8.5
Great Contraption: Intensity: 5
Low
jttcoe: Intesity:3
20,000 luts Intesity:1
The Time Machine:1

If you want to keep jounrey thrill, fine, let's convert Hyperion Adventure over to a suspended dark ride then still the same plot and effects but no real physical intesity and the storm will not be that scary, perhapse we could incorpearte some of Around the World in 80 Days in here maybe touring the world in a Hyperion, maybe then along the way you run into a storm and I still like the idea of sky pirates. What if we made this rather jungle cruise-esc have large 25 person air-ships along with your captain who is stading in front of a large boat like wheel at the front of the basket, the CM can narrate the ride and help fight off the sky-pirates aswell as guide you safley through the storm.
The only problem I then see is having an EMV2 and an EMV in the same land a bit much.........
We will need to change one of the ride systems there or just eliminate one of the rides all together.
I am not really sure what you are asking about regarding a show area, I was planning on just throwing in the stage area where ever once we had a more deffinate design as it would take up a small amount of space. And as far as show appropraiteness just because something has been done does not make it the best way to do it.......

I would say it would be better as an EMV than a straight dark ride

I am aware of the acutal ride system for Journey but by your stament belwo I thought you meant you were proposing it to be a EMV.
I think HA should have lot's of pizaz but actually I was thinking it would be on about a slightly lower intensity 'if we are going to put Journey and Geyser in here I think we need a good quality lower intsitety ride. Personally nothing of H.G. Wells except the Time Machine (which we already have as a show) reallys seems applicable to this type of ride (BTW isn't War of the Worlds Orson Wells?)
Omnimovers are nice, but I personally pefere the more individualized expereince(you seem like you are the only group on the ride).

Maybe a nice string quartet on the decks or in the Grill playing lovely music with a baby grand? - The WeirdOne
