New park ride technology

saw this awesome video on youtube, which is Intamin's water coaster concept. remember years ago of the bald mountain ride rumors and the ride system would use a water coaster. after viewing this, the concept would be incredible to implement and bring back bald mountain. although i will admit, the ride does not need to be as intense as this video is, its disney after all. just think of multiple lifts and small drops with twists and turns also invloving show scenes, it would fit great in a Villains themed land i have also always wanted a 101 dalmations ride where you drive around in cruelas car, trying to catch puppies, but thats a whole other story...

I believe the Bald Mountain ride was being based on the tech currently going in the Shanghai POTC ride, but maybe @Lee can comment further.

A villains land. I like that. My daughter loves it. Would this be on TSI?

That ride is a bit scary!! I'd rather see a ride system similar to Atlantis at Seaworld (I dunno if they're similar, just Atlantis seems safer!)

A villian land would be awesome...

Not to anger the gods but TSI would be perfect. They can have Hooks boat and crocodile area It could look dark and forbidding with thunder and lightning. Cruella devil wild mouse coaster. Malicifent dark ride. A dark magic shop.Lady tremain's shoe shop. Ok ok. I guess I'm a little twisted.

Honestly, Splash Mountain looks more intense than that, at least the drop.

Looks like an easy coaster, prime real estate for Disney coasters in general.

I dunno how attractive something like this is for Disney -- Intamin basically designs for amusement parks, not theme parks, and their primary target audience is thrill-seekers -- exactly the audience that Disney does NOT go after in general....but more importantly, this is a ride that is designed to get people really wet -- really really wet....The Intamin that went into Cedar Point two summers ago (a combination flume/water coaster called Shoot the Rapids) has been a tremendous flop except on the very hottest days -- and even then, people head to the raft ride in the river canyon and the standard flume ride first...Disney has enough people that don't ride Splash Mountain because of how wet it gets you, I don't see them adding anything like this in the future.
