Spoiler alert its CA time because I'm a procrastinatory host like that haha lol lmao
Rock’n Rollercoaster - @OSUPhantom
A surprise to be sure- but a welcome one! Rock’n roller coaster is one of those must-dos at the parks that need a queue redo. I love your idea of painting the story towards a Hollywood Museum of Rock, which will probably allow the ride to finally be integrated well and properly into the park in a subtle manner. Basically, if Mother Q and Father Hard Rock Cafe had a kid- chemistry!
+1 Bonus - Serious GOTG vibes (I loved listening to this while I was typing reviews)
Peter Pan’s Flight - @Evilgidgit
Before I even looked at your prompt, I was shocked by how beautiful the concept art you shared with us was. It perfectly emanates the Fantasyland feel and it should have gone to MK along with New Fantasyland. I’m a bit surprised that the ride is getting another queue revamp as you described in your pitch as the current queue is already very on point with theming and cute. But the idea of a Georgian London labyrinth is A+, because it sets up a dark yet warm setting before hopping aboard the ride. The facade upgrades are also great, finally giving the land status to equal Disneyland. Paired with Waltwiz’s Small World update, this is the Fantasyland I want and need!
+1 Bonus - Starry
Space Mt Revamp - @Rock Wren
An innovative new queue packed with learning opportunities and optimistic “gazing” into the future? Sign me up! With Tron entering the competition, Space Mountain receiving a way to be able to be on par with it and keep up with wait times is perfect, and the queue you pitch is something to behold. The little detail of dynamic screens that feature information about the telescope is such a nice touch, and I would pause, and let other people walk in front of me, to read what they say. I loved your pitch from front to back, nice job!
+1 Bonus - SO CULTURED WITH THE SINFONIE ORCHESTRA CLASSICAL MUSIC
Soarin’ Historic Airport Queue at Epcot - @ThemeParkPriest
Your pitch is great - a true understanding of how Epcot was more about celebrating innovation that would lead to the future, as shown with the Pan Am airport. What makes me nervous about it though is that Soarin’ is literally in the LAND pavilion, and having an industrial airport theme with nods to airplanes, some of the very villains of carbon emissions, would not paint a good message for both Soarin’ and the Land pavilion. But there’s no denying that the architecture of the airport fits that retro-futuristic Epcot feel, and I still adore it!
+1 Bonus - Flying Higher
Haunted Mansion (Extra Extra Dead!) - @Tony the Tigger
WOAH - I thought Haunted Mansion’s queue was already good, but I was surprised that you made it even better! My favorite part about your pitch is the idea of the Doom Buggy’s clear top- it sounds like a ghostly “shield” of a sort, and the idea of it doubling as a screen for special effects is just so Disney and so… innovative that it feels incredibly magical, kicking up Haunted Mansion as the best version of the rides in all the parts and keeping its place there. Overall while the actual changes the to the queue weren’t much, your ideas for the ride were so great-
+1 Bonus - Scawy
Daytona Speedway - @AceAstro
New sponsor! Again! Why is the speedway still a thing??? Anyways, Daytona Speedway is a perfect way for the corporate and capitalist House of Mouse to get money, and whether this was your intention, I don’t know, but the idea of letting people know all about Daytona, Daytona everything just seems like such an Iger/Eisner/Chapek move that I’m surprised that haven’t done anything yet. The Daytona tunnels sound really fun though, and so do all the signs that talk about the company and all its success/vroom vroom competitions.
+1 Bonus - WTH-
Carousel of Progress Present a “Futurama” - @Outbound
Oh my gawds your pitch is delicious, which sounds super wrong coming from the Guinea Pig but everything that you’ve done here is so powerful, so charmant Disney Imagineering- The tone of your pitch is historical, beautiful, and most importantly optimistic. With how detailed and must-do CoP already is, having this bonus queue is a double punch in the feels. This “Futurama” tone hoping for a future in the 1960s is both ironic and poetic, and with the Bahaus-esque facade paired with the little miniature animated cars and such, the nostalgic tone of your prompt has me deciding how much money I’m going to invest into this to make it a reality.
+1 Bonus - In Tears.
BONUS REVIEWS (PROMPT 1)
Tinseltown Social-ville - @Tony the Tigger
I loved the charming and nostalgic name to your land- until I read your pitch! Are we back into the 2024 Superstar Limo or something? Tiktok ticks me off, seriously? Bad jokes aside, this pitch is bad. Jokes aside, this seems a bit too realistic as something Disney would actually do to milk out the money from guests in the parks. Is there a paywall behind the gold carts and the dark ride?
Hercules Land - @ThemeParkPriest
Hercules! What an adventure for Adventure World. The fantastical theming of your land is perfect for the families, with a delightful assortment of rides. Overall, a great replacement! Hercules is in dire need of a good land, and you just made it.
