Built in the area behind Discoveryland Station, Treasure Planet: Solar Surfers is a sci-fi, "levitating" take on Test Track, taking guests on a fast paced ride through the Alponian wasteland for some rocket-powered solar surfing!

Round Seven Critiques:

@Ludpat Mike – A New Treasure Planet
Oh, interesting! A robocoaster would make for an ambitious take on a Treasure Planet ride. It would stand out considering Disney doesn’t have one of those, taking guests on quite the ride. The actual plot sounds slightly muddled when meshed with the title, which sounds like a sequel despite the plot potentially being a bit more stand-alone.

@Brer Panther – Voyage to Treasure Planet
Now, this sounds like a fun fusion of “old and new”. Taking the ride styles of some classic attractions, while mixing them with modern tech for advanced animatronics and a “living character”. It sounds like some fun components for a classic “book report” dark ride.

@TwilightZone – Space Mountain: Treasure Planet
And once more, Disneyland Paris’s Space Mountain undergoes a metamorphosis! In all seriousness, this does sound like it would make for probably the most unique of the Space Mountain iterations. Sailing among pirate ships in the stars certainly captures the unique flavor of this movie.

@TheSquirrel – The Compass Point
Another short and sweet pitch. I do like the basic sound of this restaurant, but I would have been interested in hearing a little more about the stage. What kind of show or something would be featured on it?

@Evilgidgit – Treasure Planet: Solar Surfers
Solar surfing was definitely an eye-catching way to introduce Jim Hawkins and made for a memorable sequence in the movie, so it’s a natural for inspiring a ride. A slot car dark ride would be a solid format for catching some of the speed and swerving movement. I know the solar surfer was a standing vehicle in the film, but I think it’d be an alright concession to more standard seating if that’s what you intended.

@Pi on my Cake – Treasure Trails
You have written up plenty of interesting walkways over the course of this game, but this is one that strikes me for more of the subtlety. The walkways of Discoveryland still bare the steampunk designs that had been at the root of the land’s foundation, but a touch-up could really add a new sparkle to them. Adding in the lighting effects you mention could capture some of the wonder from that Map Sphere and bring some new life to the land.

@spacemt354 – Discoveryland Treasures
It is a shame that Discoveryland had shifted so much away from that starting foundation of classic steampunk science ficition. This store would help to recapture some of that energy, channeling it through the Treasure Planet theme for some real atmosphere compared to the more muddled mix of sci-fi the land has gotten.

@b-wolf95 – RLS Legacy
Part of what makes Treasure Planet so unique is that great mix of old school pirate adventure with sci-fi spectacle, and this walkthrough would be a great opportunity to showcase it. Exploring the chambers of the ship and discovering things like the Map Sphere would be quite the treat. The attraction idea does come into similar territory to the Nautilus walkthrough currently there, but this could stand on its own.

@Solaris Knight – Treasure Planet: Solar Soarin’
This is another good take on an attraction inspired by the solar surfing sequence. Although the other has the benefits of practical speed, a simulator in the Flight of Passage mold could offer an easier space for having more individualized ride vehicles. That way, riders could feel like they have a more personalized experience in solar surfing.​

Round Seven Awards:

Honorable Mention:
@Pi on my Cake – Treasure Trails
Honorable mention is a place for striking pitches that don’t quite make the main prompt, and this update to the walkways of Discoveryland would give a great touch of personality to them.

Bronze Medal (1 Point): @b-wolf95 – RLS Legacy
A walkthrough of this futuristic sailing vessel would be a simple but solid way to bring guests up close to the film’s mash-up of science fiction and classical pirate adventure.

Silver Medal (1 Point):
@Solaris Knight – Treasure Planet: Solar Soarin’
Though two pitches both approached the film’s iconic solar surfer imagery, this pitch offers up an angle that could offer up a more personalized feel with one-rider set-ups akin to Flight of Passage.

Gold Medal (2 Points):
@Brer Panther – Voyage to Treasure Planet
A mix of old and new help Treasure Planet to breathe new life into a classic story, and this pitch struck a similar chord for me. It takes the elements and idea of a classic Disney dark ride, then plusses them with new tech for animatronics. The result would make for a fun dark ride adventure in Discoveryland.​

Final Round: The Rocketeer

c16b23631c4843c82930dccb4610b3d8.jpg


We’re onto the final round, and we’ll be stepping over to Disney’s live-action films for this event! Specifically, a cult classic from the early wave of comic book movies in the 1990s: The Rocketeer. Still fondly remembered for the design of the titular hero, its pulpy adventure sensibilities, and the sheer “Saturday afternoon matinee” flavor, it’s the kind of property where they could really run with the broad strokes of it at the parks and craft something new and exciting for guests.

With the movie set in 1930s Hollywood, Sunset Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios would make a prime spot for the Rocketeer to soar.

-Prompt-
Pitch a method of implementing The Rocketeer (the 1991 film) at Sunset Boulevard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It can be an attraction, a restaurant, whatever you wish.

-Rules-
Use only a single sentence to describe your idea. You may also use one image if you wish. The deadline is Tuesday, December 29th, at 11:59:59 PM EST.

-Tips-
KISS – Keep is simple, silly! With only one sentence, you can’t get too detailed. Think of this as an elevator pitch.

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

You know what's a great way to come up with good ideas? Mixing up two scenes from a movie because you never actually seen it and only finding out your mistake after doing some research but going ahead anyways because it's a good idea. 😅

Southern Wind Club

A new take on the idea of "dinner and a show," guests board a special zeppelin (created as a spin-off of the famous South Sea Club) for a leisurely dinner cruise in the sky, only to find themselves with an unintentional front-row seat to an aerial dogfight between the Rocketeer and Nazi forces midway through their meal!​

Cliff needs your help to save his girlfriend and defeat the nazis, so you'll hop on another prototype, a flying car, invented by Howard Hughes to experience a dangerous drive and flight through 1930's LA while the hero is fighting the nazis with you in this retheming of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.

[I didn't know much about the movie (beyond the title), so Wikipedia and google images came to help 😂]

The Rocketeer Stunt Show


iu

With less and less shows in DHS and the newly opened Bourne Spectacular providing some rivalry, it's time for a new one, replacing the aging Little Mermaid, this stunt show will follow the Rocketeer as he flies around fighting evil villains and saving the local citizens with high tech special effects and some slight screen integration.

THE ROCKETEER VS THE ROBOT HORDES!
1609191341501.png


This is a next gen version of the KUKA arm Robocoaster G3 idea DIsney had before Forbidden Journey, replacing Rock N Roller Coaster but with the horizontal position of a suspended coaster, letting guests strap into jetpacks and help the Rocketeer foil rogue automatons attacking LA, the KUKA arm helping to let guests feel the sensation of flight even more than a normal coaster would.
