New Ride for Camp Minnie-Mickey

Ok, I've looked at the sugestions so here's my current idea for the ride based on the other posts on this thread.

Guests enter the attraction by walking through the "Brownstone National Park Welcome Center", which acts as the attraction's queue. Along the way, guests pass a slide show of photos of the park's wildlife, nairrated by Ranger Woodlore. He explains what you will be doing at the park and how to use your "camera" and the rules of the park. Guests then board their Jeeps for the actual ride portion of the attraction. Woodlore instructs guests to take pictures of as many different animals as possible. The ride begins by passing the bears cave where we see Humphrey. The Ranger says to ignore him, explaining that he's just a camera hog. Throughout the rest of the scenes of the ride, Humphry pops up in every one much to the dismay of the Ranger. At the end of the ride the Ranger stands outside his Ranger Station, taking many pictures of Humpry, explaining that this is the only way that we'll ever get any shots without him. He also invites us to enter the Ranger Station after the ride. Once inside, guests find rows of "photo albulms" (actually photo screens similar to those at DCA's Animation Exhibit). There, they can browse through their "photos" complete with information about the animals in the photos. Guests can them email pictures to themselves on their home computer from the albulms. After the ride guests exit back into Camp Minnie-Mickey (but not through a gift shop, I know how unpopular it is to have an attraction that empties into a gift shop on this board )

So, how does this sound? Oppinions? Thanks.

This actually sounds pretty neat. How ever, are you going to do the fact getting points for shooting an animal, and loosing points if you shoot Humphry? I'd be pretty dull if you pretend to take pictures of the animals. OK, let me fully explain the camera thing. The cameras are actually laser guns made to look like cameras. If you take a picture ( shoot ) of/an animal, you get points. If you shoot Humphry, you loose points. I think the ranger station at the end of the ride should be a goofy play zone with gags and knobs to press along with educational animal facts along the way.

Yeah. You get your score when you see your "pictures" at the ranger station. Not sure about the loosing points when you take a picture of Humphry. I think it would be better just not to get any points for getting him.

Interesting idea. I'll think about it.

Cool. But would people see the fake pictures of the animals and realize that they're the same? Also, I think you should have points taken away if you get Humphry because the ranger really doesn't want any pictres of Humphry.

I think they will. They'll be picture versions of the same animals from the show scenes in the ride (same character, same pose, same environment).

I love this idea, this is one of the best I've seen on the boards in a while. It would be a great way to to get people in Camp Minnie Mickey.

I don't know. That seems a little boring, and there would be little incentive to re-ride the thing. If the picture were in funny poses, or something, with a random pose, one out of eight, maybe, then that would be interesting.

Also, this is WDW, too. You'll have to be careful that you explain what to in lots of detail. Buzz Lightyear, not so much, because you have guns, and there are targets. That's simple. Taking pictures of animals may not connect to people right away.

Finnally, I think that the points system should be done away with. That would make the object of the ride to snap animals, not to win the most points. Otherwise, you got a winner.

Since I really worked out and explained what the show scenes would be, it may sound a little boring. I don't know about re-riding incentive, but it seems to me that it has just as much as something like Small World. Also, yes the photos would be in funny poses that would be different depending on when they snap the picture (ie- the animal will be moving and changing poses). These are Disney cartoon animals, of corse they're comedic.

The slide-show preshow with the Ranger should explain everything.

There won't be an actual number score like on Buzz Lightyear, but would give you some sort of ranking. I don't see that as much of a problem.

Can't there be an AA ranger?

A New Ride for Camp M-M

This would be a great ride. Great for kids and adults. I love the DD cartoons with Humphry and Ranger Woodlore. This was a very well thought out idea. Hope someone high up the corporate ladder visits this website and takes you up on this idea.

Do you mean in the pre-show? If so, of course. Slide shows don't show themselves (well I supose they could at WDW, but in this case an AA Ranger will be showing it).
