One Sentence Competition: Pitching Elevators - The Game Begins!

[Pi on my Cake]

Welcome Back to the One Sentence Competition
Season 9, Episode 1
Pitching Elevators

All are welcome to join in on the One Sentence Competition, it doesn't matter if you're not a regular on the forums, an observer, or an active participant. The low stakes yet high fun of the One Sentence Competition is fit for everyone. Don't worry about a time commitment given how the challenges max out at three sentences this event is perfect for those on the go with plenty of things going on, or great for those who know how to perfectly get their elevator pitch across. If you miss a few challenges don't worry about it as throughout the Episode there will be plenty of ways to make up for the times you couldn't make it.

There will be 10 Rounds and each will last around 4 days. You'll be given a prompt and you have to pitch your idea with only 1-3 Sentences and up to 1 Picture

Imagine that YOU have just walked into Imagineering HQ. You're an aspiring Imagineer, but for now you're just a lowly intern wandering these Hallowed Halls. It's your break time and even though you only have 15 minutes, you decide to relax on the rooftop garden Imagineering HQ definitely has. BUT when you hop into the elevator something amazing happens...

Someone that could potentially change your life steps into the elevator too!

Joe Disney!

"If you can Dream it, my name is Joe" - Joe Disney, 1982

Now is your chance! Give Joe Disney your Elevator Pitch!

If you don't know, an Elevator Pitch is a very simple way of communicating something. The idea being that if you find yourself in an elevator with someone who could make your dreams come true (someone like Joe Disney), than you have only the length of that elevator ride to convince them that your concept is worth taking a chance on!

The One Sentence Competition is nicknamed the Elevator Pitch competition for a reason! It isn't about how good you are at writing or drawing. It doesn't matter if you have hours to spend working on your project or minutes (some 1SC projects have been done in seconds even). All that matters is having a good idea and being able to communicate it efficiently. This puts everyone on equal footing

Simple enough for new comers, but rewarding enough for veterans

A great way to start in the Imagineering forums, to relax a bit between bigger competitions, or just to have a good time and use your imagination a bit! Everyone who participates in a challenge will receive 1 point, as long as they follow the rules. Then, the top three will receive bronze (1 point), silver (also 1 point), and gold (2 points) medals. Plus, each round will have an "Honorable Mention" for an idea that excels in one area that deserves a special shout out, but wasn't in the top 3 overall for whatever reason. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins bragging rights and first dibs on hosting the next Episode

Every round will also feature a Bonus; complete the bonus and get an extra point! These will usually be a fun little addition and often focused on sharpening specific Armchair Imagineering skills such as including an original drawing, choosing some music to accompany your project, using fonts/color choices in a creative way, or adding a holiday overlay. Don't be surprised to see a more wacky bonus or two too!

The game begins at MIDNIGHT tonight!

Don't worry about a time commitment given how the challenges max out at three sentences this event is perfect for those on the go with plenty of things going on, or great for those who know how to perfectly get their elevator pitch across. If you miss a few challenges don't worry about it as throughout the Episode there will be plenty of ways to make up for the times you couldn't make it.

There will be 10 Rounds and each will last around 4 days. You'll be given a prompt and you have to pitch your idea with only 1-3 Sentences and up to 1 Picture

Imagine that YOU have just walked into Imagineering HQ. You're an aspiring Imagineer, but for now you're just a lowly intern wandering these Hallowed Halls. It's your break time and even though you only have 15 minutes, you decide to relax on the rooftop garden Imagineering HQ definitely has. BUT when you hop into the elevator something amazing happens...

Someone that could potentially change your life steps into the elevator too!

Joe Disney!

"If you can Dream it, my name is Joe" - Joe Disney, 1982

Now is your chance! Give Joe Disney your Elevator Pitch!

If you don't know, an Elevator Pitch is a very simple way of communicating something. The idea being that if you find yourself in an elevator with someone who could make your dreams come true (someone like Joe Disney), than you have only the length of that elevator ride to convince them that your concept is worth taking a chance on!

The One Sentence Competition is nicknamed the Elevator Pitch competition for a reason! It isn't about how good you are at writing or drawing. It doesn't matter if you have hours to spend working on your project or minutes (some 1SC projects have been done in seconds even). All that matters is having a good idea and being able to communicate it efficiently. This puts everyone on equal footing

Simple enough for new comers, but rewarding enough for veterans

A great way to start in the Imagineering forums, to relax a bit between bigger competitions, or just to have a good time and use your imagination a bit! Everyone who participates in a challenge will receive 1 point, as long as they follow the rules. Then, the top three will receive bronze (1 point), silver (also 1 point), and gold (2 points) medals. Plus, each round will have an "Honorable Mention" for an idea that excels in one area that deserves a special shout out, but wasn't in the top 3 overall for whatever reason. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins bragging rights and first dibs on hosting the next Episode

Every round will also feature a Bonus; complete the bonus and get an extra point! These will usually be a fun little addition and often focused on sharpening specific Armchair Imagineering skills such as including an original drawing, choosing some music to accompany your project, using fonts/color choices in a creative way, or adding a holiday overlay. Don't be surprised to see a more wacky bonus or two too!

The game begins at MIDNIGHT tonight!

Climb aboard the elevator and let's begin

Even Newer Fantasyland

Welcome one and all to the first prompt of One Sentence Competition: Pitching Elevators!

-The Set Up-
It is 2009 and you are in an Elevator with the head of Imagineering, Joe Disney!
Recently (as of 2009 the year it currently is) the plans for New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World was announced and these plans were a bit underwhelming for nearly everyone who wasn't a 9 year old girl. With a big chunk in the center that was just enhanced Meet & Greet experiences similar to Enchanter Tales with Belle dedicated to Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. None of these were bad, it was just too many Princess themed A-Ticket attractions taking up a lot of space.


(Click the picture for a more detailed recounting of the original plans and the problems with it)

Disney quickly realized they had to retool the plans for New Fantasyland to add a true D/E-Ticket that could draw in fans of all ages! In real life, that wound up being the Seven Dwarves Mine Train. But what if YOU happened to be there in the elevator with Joe Disney in 2009 to pitch your idea instead...

-Challenge-
Pitch a D/E-Ticket to anchor New Fantasyland when it opens in 2012 instead of the Seven Dwarves Mine Train that opened IRL

-Deadline-
This project is due on Saturday, December 23rd at 11:59 PM WDW Time
(8:59 PM Disneyland Time)
4 days from now

-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!

"If you can Dream it, my name is Joe" - Joe Disney, 1982

I cry every time I read that classic quote, Joe Disney truly is a genius

Trip To Bald Mountain

Seeking to capture the thrill of the Seven Dwarves Mine Train and the dark tone of Snow White’s Scary Adventure, I pitch an abstract rollercoaster that would seek to capture the feeling of Fantasia’s iconic closing short with twists and turns taking riders on a shadowy tour of Bald Mountains peak. The ride would feature the soundtrack of Ave Maria and an encounter with Chernabog himself. Thanks for hearing me out Joe.​

 

[Disney Warrior]

Alice’s Journey Through Wonderland

Expanding on the sort of “Wonderland” sub area that is being built in Fantasyland adjacent to the tea cups (where they built a coaster themed to the seven dwarves from Snow White in our world), this new ride is a Mack Rides spinning coaster that takes guests in the perspective of Alice as she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland. During the ride you will encounter all of the major characters from the film (including the Queen of Hearts, during the climactic “off with your heads” scene) in this ride based on (but not exactly a retelling) of the classic Disney film and the original book series. Guests will experience a couple of tall drops (including a thrilling 50 foot drop where riders fall down the rabbit hole, pictured above), intense spinning moments, and encounters with Wonderland’s wacky creatures on this new E ticket opening in 2014.​

Flying Carpets Over Agrabah

​

Hop aboard a magic carpet and take a trip through the Cave of Wonders, the Sultan's Palace, an Agrabah marketplace, and even the Genie's lamp in this combination of a dark ride and a suspended coaster. Scenes from the animated film are brought to life with lifelike animatronic figures and special effects that will leave guests wondering just how they pulled it off. And as a reference to the Magic Kingdom's past, the spitting camels from the Magic Carpets of Aladdin attraction (which in this hypothetical pitch would be removed to avoid redundancy) are placed outside the attraction's entrance, still ready to get parkgoers wet as they walk by.

 

[OvertheHorizon]

Hey Joe, let’s bring back Buzzy, that beloved character from Epcot’s Cranium Command and put him in a Star Tours-type simulator. Set it up like a classroom where Buzzy does a “show and tell” about his most memorable days, featuring the classic cafeteria food fight and meeting a new girlfriend, alongside fresh adventures, like the time his pet tarantula got loose in the kitchen.

Good luck everyone! If you have questions, please feel free to ask! Enjoy!​

The Voyage To El Dorado is a boat ride based on the legend of El Dorado, a mythical city of gold hidden deep in the Colombian Andes near Lake Guatavita, or perhaps under the lake!

Guests will enter an old Spanish Fort in Colombia and board boats based on Spanish colonial boats then ride past scenes depicting the Chibcha Empire, Colombia's most important ancient civilization, before passing the El Dorado ritual, in which the Chibcha king covered himself in gold dust before diving into Lake Guatavita in order to sacrifice the gold to the gods, vehicles then drop down from Cerro De Montserrat and go under the lake and enter Manoa (El Dorado), the trap-filled lost city of gold, where they encounter a feathered serpent who guards the treasures of Manoa which chases the guests into the jungles.

While the idea of exploring the mountain jungles of South America in search of a lost city is a very Adventureland-sounding idea, El Dorado has entered the world's collective imagination as a mythical city of riches so I think it fits perfectly amongst the fairy tales that have also become popular worldwide and with a facade themed to a Spanish Colonial Fort, it’s sure to blend in exterior-wise with Fantasyland!

 

[Lord Fozzinator]

Realms Of Enchantment

Welcome one and all, on this water boat ride you will enter the world of Disney movies that are not currently represented in fantasyland. You can watch Aladdin and jasmine fly on a magic carpet, see tangled go on her amazing journey, join Robbin hood and the merry men against their fight with the king, and so much more. The observatory of wishes is the place where dreams come to life in this movie-spanning ride.​

 

[Lord Fozzinator]

Oh yeah, it’s all coming together ( I can’t help it, the emperor’s new groove is one of the funniest movies I ever watched)

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

Merlin's Magical Journey​

Ok, Joe, what do you think of this: Deep in the new Fantasyland Forest area, we enter Merlin's Cottage, where the mystical wizard explains (in high-tech animatronic form) that he is our new tutor and will educate us in the ways of the world; to do so, we will board his newest contraption, the Auto-Escalatory-Mobilitron (A Kuka-arm set on a trackless vehicle base).

The ride begins the same way for everyone, with a brief (45ish second) flight through the forest as you test out the new contraption before the next scene, when Merlin transforms you and the AEM into either a squirrel or a fish (as in the film) and you encounter animatronic and screen-based animals and gags based on whichever direction you take—squirrels and other animals on the tree branches or aquatic animals a few leagues under the sea wink wink (the trackless system allows for variance of the experience, with each set of scenes lastly roughly 90 seconds or so, while the Kuka arm varies the motion experience).

Alas, Madam Mim interrupts your lesson and challenges Merlin to a Wizards' Duel, culminating in an encounter with Mim in her dragon form before you soar back to Merlin's cottage and he invites you to return for your next lesson.
