Track 2
I Want to Hold Your Hand



While maybe not one of The Beatles most iconic songs, I Want to Hold Your Hand was insanely popular. Released in 1963 it of course reached No. 1 in the UK and the US, hence it's inclusion on the album 1 and in this season of The One Sentence Competition. A catchy beat, and harkening back to a much different time period when it came to romance.

The theme park world is not immune to love either, in many forms. From the iconic Tunnel of Love attraction that could be found at various amusement parks around the world to the modern-day theme park ride based on Fantasy and tales of old. Love is an age-old story, it just gets told differently over time, but at its heart, the same idea.

- Challenge -
Your challenge this round is to create a new theme park attraction at any non-Disney theme park that tells a love story. What kind of story, as well as the type of attraction, and how much you factor in the love angle is completely up to you. Is love best told via coaster or dark ride? It's your call! Heartwarming, swashbuckling, chivalrous, sci fi romance, a simple rescue and kiss at the end; do your best to convey some sense of love as part of the attractions' overall story.

- Rules -​

  • Your attraction can be placed at any non-Disney theme park around the world​
  • You may use between 1 to 3 sentences and up to 1 image.​
  • No AI generated artwork, writing, or assistance in the brainstorming process is allowed​

- Deadline -
This project is due on Friday, October 25th at 11:59 PM Disneyland Time
(October 26th 2:59 AM WDW Time)

- Tips -
K.I.S.S. – Keep it simple, silly. Try not to complicate or overthink things too much. It’s a simple, casual competition – there are no eliminations. Propose as you please, let your imagination soar!

-Judging Criteria-
Is it creative?
Is it (generally) realistic?
Does it fit thematically/visually?​

BONUS: Draw a simple sketch of your attraction vehicle to give us a sense better sense of the overall attraction.
You can use up to one extra sentence to describe the vehicle along with your image.
This bonus results in automatic bonus point​

Bad Love ~ A Teenage Romance​

IMG_0562.jpeg


Everyone always pictures love as one great cheesy ”happily ever after” fairy tale, so why not picture a younger ”teenage love” about not so happily ever after outcomes. Replacing the incredibly cheesy Earthquake Darkride at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, The new ride will still use the old ride system, but the whole ride will now get a new alleyway setting with new special effects (That means goodbye to the Earthquake gorilla). The new ride will tell the story of two teenagers in a secret romance talking about their bad, dark fantasies and their outcomes, which is achieved by the extra room depicting the fantasies by switching set piece and effects, all while smoke fills the room, to make the fantasies shift between the real world and the teenagers thoughts.
​

Bonus​

The old, plain, boring ride train currently used for earthquake ride is now a chocolate box, with the seats being scented with dark chocolate, combined with scents similar to the dark fantasies in the ride.

(Sorry that it’s so small & it doesn’t really look like a chocolate box btw)

It was a bit of a struggle thinking of what to pitch for this prompt, but hopefully this'll do...

Oh, Arnold, How I...​

vlcsnap-2024-10-24-19h08m34s811.png
Replacing Scooby-Doo and the Haunted Castle in (Paramount’s) Kings Island as part of the transformation from Hanna-Barbera Land to Nickelodeon Universe in an alternate universe, this modern-day tunnel of love follows a certain Helga Pataki’s struggle to tell a certain football-headed kid how much she loves (hates?) him. What is it about Arnold that sends her heart aflutter - and what can she think of to keep her mind off of him?

Bonus​
Similar to Phantom Theater (the ride that was in this building before Scooby), the ride vehicles are Omnimover cars made to resemble Helga’s famous heart locket.

MRS. BRISBY'S FLYING DREAMS

1729899325783.png

​
The Secret of NIMH is an all-time classic by Don Bluth, brought to life in a high flying family coaster located in an imaginary alt. KidsZone at Universal Studios Florida. Shrunk down to the size of a mouse, guests take off on the back of Jeremy the Crow to aid Mrs. Brisby on her journey to move her family, seeking out the elusive Rats of NIMH within their secretive rose bush. A majority of the story is set up in the immersive queue, whilst the coaster soars through scenes from the movie, including the Great Owl's dominion, the rose bush itself, and in a close encounter with the terrifying cat Dragon, all in the name of a mother's love for her children.

Note: No Bonus, but I think the image above gives a visual idea of what the ride would represent. I kinda picked the park at random, as NIMH is sadly not well know today and probably wouldn't be included in a major resort realistically.

AVONTUUR VAN DE TINNEN BODEM

1729918962493.png

Coming soon to Efteling Park (a fantastical theme park in the Netherlands!) is Avontuur Van de Tinnen Bodem, or The Adventure of the Tin Soldier- a magical trackless dark ride located in the land's Fairytale Forest section, inspired by the well-known Danish fairytale by Hans Christen Andersen - The Steadfast Tin Soldier. Set in a universe where everything is made of romantic-era toys (not the modern Toy Story-esque children's playthings, but fancy toys of porcelain and tin and woodcarving) the ride tells the tale of a one-legged steadfast Tin Soldier who goes on an adventure to reclaim the love of the beautiful Porcelain ballerina in her castle, dancing around board games, crashing through a bookshelf of talking stuffed animals, and finally navigating the dangers of the Real World, from the dangerous waters with wicked mice to the mouth of a fish. With the charm of Symbolica and the dark of Droomvluct, this attraction is a story of love, magic, and conquering the odds, as the love story ends with a charming and grandiose dance in a miniature ballroom.

Our happy little guests will be able to experience the attraction in their own personalized spinning and dancing toy engine, whether it be a spinning ceramic teacup or a roaring locomotive!
