Le château de la bête is a walkthrough in Disneyland Paris's Fantasyland showing off the castle of Prince Adam and Belle, not throgh tapestries but environmental storytelling, seeing it go from the home of a spoiled but lonely prince to a anguished and cursed monster, to a human and happy prince and princess.
This is an interesting take on the walkthrough experience, but I wish you went into detail about environmental storytelling? I imagine it's that the the objects change as you walkthrough? Topiaries cause that's a planet and thus enviroment? I'm not sure it kinda confused me
The Ancient Crypt(l'ancienne Crypte)View attachment 563592
As a successor of Indiana Jones in Adventureland, join him to find out the mysteries of an ancient crypt near the temple, by walking through it! This serves as a more light-hearted adventure for people who are too scared or too small to ride IJA.
Although this wasn't made for DLP it still works, and actually helps out the Indiana Jones presence in the park as it's just currently a lackluster coaster at a dead end. I think this smaller attraction aids in adding the exploration and adventuring that Adventureland and Indiana Jones is known for while still fleshing out the area itself.
Toontown Studio Tour (Visite des Studios de Toontown)
Walt Disney Studios Park offers a wacky way to come face to face with filmmaking with the Toontown Studio Tour, taking guests on a funhouse trip through a cartoony film studio with such sights as a revolving film reel tunnel, an editing bay with guest-triggered sound effects, and a musical set with distorted mirrors.
A Toontown project? Not done by
@DisneyFan32 ?
All joking aside I think this is cute funhouse with a lot of fun and interactive environments that is sure to please children and adults. However I think the sound effects may have worked better on the musical set and mirrors in the editing bays as sound and music go more in hand than mirrors, to me at least. With that said it's cute and fun, and the lack of proper IP actually helps it avoid from possible dating so good call there!
Venture into the story of Mowgli, the man-cub raised in the jungle by a family of wolves, brought to life via a series of elaborate dioramas. Audio-animatronics and special effects bring the characters from the film to life, making for a more immersive experience than the nearby Aladdin walkthrough (not that it'll make that one any less fun, of course).
The fact Jungle Book has never had a proper attraction is absurd to me, but I'm glad to see you're giving the much needed representation to the film! I think what you described would do a good job in playing out the film while immersing guests into the story of the movie.
War of the Worlds
Themed after WotW: Goliath (a steampunk retelling of the original book) & as part of a Discoveryland revitalization project following the new Star Wars land opening in the nearby Walt Disney Studios Park, War of the Worlds is a new walkthrough attraction where guests are rushed to safety during an alien invasion of a steampunk world; similar to a scaremaze, but all year round & without the jumpscares.
I think this was really clever! You took into account the unique aesthetic of Discoveryland, and made sure that the source material matched the land which is something that currently is lost in the land. I adore this concept a lot, and would love to see this fleshed out as this sounds great! The wording at the end is a bit confusing if the scaremaze is without jump scares then I assume it is just actors interacting throughout the walkthrough? Like I said I loved this concept, and hope you explore it further with more detail in your own projects!
DOCTOR STRANGE’S
SANCTUM OF INSANITY
DOCTOR STRANGE ET LE SANCTUAIRE DE LA FOLIE
Enter a mind-bending world of mysticism and madness in Walt Disney Studios Park’s Avengers Campus, where Doctor Strange flings open the doors to the ancient Paris Sanctum and invites initiates beyond sling ring portals (an effect familiar from Enchanted Tales with Belle) into a magical multidimensional mansion of marvels!
Doctor Strange’s Sanctum of Insanity is Disney’s first version of the classic funhouse attraction, made possible thanks to France’s less restrictive accessibility requirements, where Imagineers reimagine timeless gags like the spinning kaleidoscope tunnel (Mirror Dimension) or two-way distortion mirrors (Rotunda of Gateways) or Pepper’s ghost (astral projection), while also offering modern interactive delights such as a living animatronic relics and motion sensor spell casting chambers.
Wow! This walkthrough matches up to the source material very well while relying heavily on practical effects yet it is still carrying the Doctor Strange magic. It will no doubt surprise guests with some amazing moments pulled straight from the comics and movies , and is honestly leagues better than what Disney has managed to do so far.
There is also the Legends of the Wild West walkthrough in Frontierland, and the two arcades on Main Street may count as well.
Visionaries: Flights of Discovery
Visionnaires : Vols de Découverte
Part of the Cafe Hyperion is transformed into a Victorian gallery, containing murals depicting mankind's long path to reach the sky and touch the stars, through ancient legends and stories, the astonishing sketches and ideas of Leonardo da Vinci, the 19th century's age of innovation, and into the modern era of bi-planes, airplanes, and space shuttles.
Had no clue DLP had so many walkthroughs the list just keeps growing!
This concept while simple is still effective. It matches the large airship held in the hangar of the café with real life concepts as well as the stories that inspired the world of aviation. Good job!
The Sinister Cinema (Le Cinéma Sinistre)
This old movie theater at Walt Disney Studios, at first glance, seems to be to just that; an old movie theater. But step inside and you will find yourself face to face with some of the darkest creatures of cinematic history, ranging from the classic movie monsters of old, to more contemporary horror like Alien and The Omen, and even some of Disney's own sinister characters.
I think this is a unique take for a Disney walkthrough, but it meshes well with WDSP and the nearby Tower of Terror. I think this is a good route to take utilizing the nearly acquired 20th Century IPs of Alien and The Omen along with Disney's back catalogue of scary figures. With the older target demographic at WDSP I think this can really work well!
Disneyland Paris will receive a new coaster based on Disneyland's Matterhorn beyond the Fantasyland railroad tracks past Toad Hall (the old train station will receive a location closer to IASW) along with a walkthrough through it's atmospheric haunted caverns. Discover what happened to the exploration party of famed climber Jaquez Bertez who went missing in this very mountain and expect a surprise appearance from a certain famous monster!
Clever way to add in a Disneyland classic while still meeting the criteria of the challenge! While you added Materhorn you very much kept the focus on the walkthrough giving it its own identity seperate from the ride. You also made sure to include a reason for the walkthrough to exist, and made it feel more than just a queue with the mystery of the mountaineer and of course the abominable snowman!
The Imagination Arcade
Sunset Boulevard, Walt Disney Studios Park
Situated behind the shops on the eastern side of Sunset Boulevard is the
Imagination Arcade, one of the two covered arcades that run parallel to the Studio's new main thoroughfare available for guests to walk through and is themed to a busy animation studio hallway in the midst of production, which juxtaposes the grandeur of the Sunset Boulevard exteriors and puts the "studio" in the "studio theme park".
Taking after the Streamline Moderne stylings of Kem Weber, the German designer of the then-new Disney Burbank studio lot, the Imagination Arcade is divided into three parts that progress from the 1930s to the 1950s: the first is the
Animators' Corridor (1930s), where guests passing by can hear several conversations between unknown animators working on Disney's newest animated features behind several closed faux doors; the second is the
Sorceror's Court (1940s), a rotunda where the studio's screening room (currently in use by studio executives for a reel review) is located and where character maquettes from 1940's
Fantasia, including one of Sorceror Mickey that routinely comes alive through elaborate projection mapping and lighting as Dukas' famous music plays behind the closed screening room doors, can be found, and; the third and last is the
Imagineering Corridor (1950s), which is similar to the Animators' Corridor, but this time featuring voices from unknown Imagineering personnel working on Walt's next big project: Disneyland.
Another simple take on the walkthrough, but extremely effective! The walkthrough is able to successfully convey the history of Disney while using limited approaches to providing story. The maquettes in particular are a standout for the experience adding the Disney magic to the walkthrough while still keeping in line with the historical aspects of the company.
LE STUDIO DE MODE DE CRUELLA DE VIL
View attachment 564068
Bienvenu à le studio de mode de Cruella de Vil, the most successful fashion designer in the world is hosting an open house to showcase her newest designs as well as a sneak peek behind the scenes. At Walt Disney Studios Park, taking over Stitch! Live, a brand new stylish walkthrough experience is coming, guests will be able to get a closer look at the outfits used by Cruella in the movie, as well as walk into the back and get a look at Cruella’s newest collection, from sketches to the prints and more; some lucky guests might be able to spot Wink during their tour, so they better keep your wallets safe, who knows what that cute little dog might be up to!
A great way to capitalize on the recent runaway hit that has been doing well in theaters and on Disney+! A great way to highlight the best aspect of the film while leaving room for fresh costumes and additions for the sequel currently in the works. The Wink easter egg is a cute one, and is sure to give guests an extra thing to search around for.
Retour en Orbite de la Station Spatiale X-1
View attachment 564227
The original Space Station X-1 is an oft forgotten classic Tomorrowland attraction where guests could walk through a simulated space station and take in “views of Earth” by way of a highly detailed diorama. In the spirit of this idea, a brand new version of this experience drops into Disneyland Paris’s Discoveryland, making use of cutting edge projection technology and utilizing authentic Ultra HD video from the International Space Station to create a breathtaking new attraction that allows guests to feel the wonder of viewing Earth from a high altitude orbit without ever leaving the ground.
I definitely think this original Disneyland attraction would be a fun walkthrough to bring back to the parks. However given Discoveryland's unique steampunk aesthetic the ISS themeing may actually lead to some thematic incosistencies.
Surrounding the Tower of Terror in the Walt Disney Studios Park, is the Tower of Terror Esplanade where guests can explore the hotel grounds like the the Bowling Green populated with statues that turn to follow guests, the Grand Terrace where previous hotel guests wander through walls (pepper's ghost effect), the natatorium with phantom sounds of splashing and appearing/disappearing footprints, and even some long abandoned staff tunnels (whispering enticing greetings to passerbys) that could lead to the star filled void known only the Twilight Zone.
Much like the newly refurbished ride, guests can choose one of three paths that mirror the three new stories featuring either the sentient building, the shaft creatures that whisper and cackle, or the fifth dimension, but each path always starts with a little girl singing "il pleut, il mouille, c’est la fête a la grenouille" then warning guests about walking this doomed path, a persistent blue fog that lingers about no matter where the guests go, the slowly dying record of big band music echoing faintly, and at the end of each path, before the guests escape, they will see the silhouette of a little girl dancing, and saying that guests may not be so lucky to escape the next time before humming the Twilight Zone theme music.
This is a great expansion of of the world of Tower of Terror over at Disneyland Paris, and utilizes the concepts of the current Tower of Terror beautifully! I feel like this is just as creepy and eerie as the current ride, and does well to capture the spirit of the E-Ticket. I was worried this would feel too much like an interactive queue however that worry was soon stopped with the second sentence with the branching paths allowing for repeatability for guests.
MAROON CARTOON STUDIOS TOUR (VISITE DES STUDIOS DE BANDE DESSINÉE MARRON):
View attachment 563602
At Walt Disney Studios's Toon Studio, you can visit Maroon Cartoon Studios where Toons are working with human workers as Roger Rabbit, Jessica Rabbit and Baby Herman will take you walkthrough a tour around the studio lot where they filming many cartoon shorts as but the weasels could be planning to demolishing studios into the shopping center so you have to stop the Toon Patrol before they will destroy Maroon Studios. As you know, Maroon Studios uses ACME gag products for the shorts from ACME Warehouse.
ACME WAREHOUSE (ENTREPT ACME)
View attachment 563603
Located at Walt Disney Studios (Toon Studio) you can walkthrough of ACME Warehouse as Marvin Acme owns it back in 1930s until he got killed by Judge Doom in 1947. ACME gag products was used for various cartoon shorts from studios such as Warner Bros, Disney, MGM, and Maroon Cartoons. You can interactive ACME gag products such as TNTs, bombs, portable holes, dropping safes, falling pianos, boxing gloves, giant mouse trap, giant magnets, and many more! But you can walkthrough destroyed half bricks into Toontown with attractions like Toontown Transit and Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin.
I feel like both of these are very similar and could have been combined to deal with the redundancy of what feels like very similar experiences. I think you should combine the experiences for one stronger whole experience instead of two experiences missing some details. Given Maroon Cartoon Studios Tour was the first of your projects sumbitted that also met the requirements of the prompt this is the one that will be used for ranking to keep it fair to all other players. Also again a reminder that you can only use up to two sentences for projects in the One Sentence Competition just reminding you as the second project goes over the maximum.
NOSTROMO: ALIEN ENCOUNTER (NOSTROMO : RENCONTRE D'ALIEN)
View attachment 563631
Walt Disney Studios Park (Production Courtyard) will make very scary walkthrough based on 20th Century Studios's Alien franchise,
called Nostromo: Alien Encounter. Inside the Nostromo, you will escape from evil Xenomorph who hunt down to kill all crew on the spaceship, but watch out for Facehuggers, they will bring eggs into your body, but don't worry Marine soldiers will help you escape from Xenomorph. But you will blaster guns to kill aliens as facehuggers too but in space no one can hear you scream!
I think Alien is perfect for a walkthrough experience with the Nostromo being an amazing setting for it. With that said I feel like you should step back and read your projects before submitting as I feel like there's words missing as the sentences don't really flow between each other. Rereading the sentences could aid in catching issues that make this project feel jumbled and rushed together. Also again a reminder that you can only use up to two sentences for projects in the One Sentence Competition just reminding you as this project goes over the maximum.
ESCAPE FROM PLEASURE ISLAND (ÉVASION DE L'ÎLE DES PLAISIRS)
View attachment 563665
This Halloween event at Disneyland Paris (Fantasyland), join Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket escape from Pleasure Island because
evil The Coachman turns all boys into donkeys. This walkthrough as we will visit 8 Ball bar as we find that Lampwick smokes his cigars and turn into a donkey as he smashes glasses and stuff. The Coachman will catch you and send you to the salt mines with other donkeys. We will see donkeys are being slaved by Coachman's henchmen as we will escape from the Coachman before we'll become donkeys.
I actually really love this idea! I think a seasonal concept like the one you pitched would have been a very unique take for the walkthroughs, and would have been the only one here! Overall a really strong concept, great job! Also again a reminder that you can only use up to two sentences for projects in the One Sentence Competition just reminding you as this project goes over the maximum.
WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (WILLY WONKA ET LA CHOCOLATERIE)
View attachment 563685
Walt Disney Studios Park and Warner Bros. will introducing new walkthrough attraction based from a movie, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), Willy Wonka will take guests walkthrough into his chocolate factory as they encountering Oompa-Loompas,
riding the boat tour into the scary parts from the film, as the guests will sucked into the tubes of chocolate, as floating into the bubble room and more. At the end as Willy Wonka will pick only two guests to win a prize to go on Wonkavator to fly over Walt Disney Studios park.
I'm not really sure how all of these amazing effects would be done via a walkthrough, and it feels like at times this is not a walkthrough given that guests ride the boat ride from the film. I think this is an IP with potential, but further explanation for the special effects are needed to further this idea.
STAR WARS: ATTACK ON THE DEATH STAR (STAR WARS : ATTAQUE SUR L'ÉTOILE DE LA MORT)
View attachment 563759
New walkthrough addition to Discoveryland at Disneyland Paris, opened in 2011, join the Rebels to destroy Death Star, as you will transport into Death Star with Nien Nunb, the rebels (the guests) will avoiding by Stormtroopers as we escaping from Darth Vader for stoled Death Star's plans but don't worry Luke Skywalker and his rebels zoom their X-Wings along with Han Solo (in Millennium Falcon) to destroy Death Star as they will find the escape pod to escape before it blows up but watch out for Darth Vader at the end!
I'm not sure how this would work as a walkthrough? This sounds like something that may be hard to achieve in a way where it feels natural and immersive to guests. Are we on the Death Star or are we walking through space? It's hard to tell. Also why are we stealing the plans, in Episode IV Leia already has the plans in R2 D2. With that said Star Wars has potential for an amazing walkthrough experience so I think you should keep workshopping this idea into something that is able to immerse guests effectively.
TOONTOWN TOWER HOTEL:
View attachment 564271
New addition at Walt Disney Studios's Toon Studio, Toontown Tower Hotel based from Who Framed Roger Rabbit is hybrid drop tower / walkthrough, as Droopy Dog takes you way way up into the outer space until you'll falling down into the streets of Toontown.
As the walkthrough, as the guests will walk into the rooms with gags such as speeding train, Genie in his bathtub,
fake Jessica aka Lena Hyena almost speeds up to kiss you, the Toons are food fighting each other, and more.
I think as a walkthrough this will be very entertaining with the amount of gags for guests to see, and would definitely be something that is a guest's favorite. I think it's a good compliment to the Tootown Tower Hotel concept.
MUPPET STUDIOS...OR REMODELING NOW.....GET LOST NOW! WE ARE IN THE CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW...
View attachment 564279
Looks like Muppet Studios will be remodeling at Walt Disney Studios Park, so Kermit the Frog will guide a tour for the guests for walkthrough into construction of new Muppet Studios, as we will visit Fozzie's one of bad joke shops, visit Miss Piggy's trailer,
as Great Gonzo's one of stunt act shows, also Dr. Bunsen Honeydew using his inverting Beaker into a ice cream musical machine as Crazy Harry destroyed half of the backlot thanks to his TNTs but we will get to dance to the music from the Electric Mayhem Band!
I think a Muppets walkthrough is a great idea! The approach taken here is really good, and with further fleshing out this can be a great experience for guests filled with plenty of gags and silly momments that the Muppets are known for.
GHOSTBUSTERS: BATTLE FOR NEW YORK
View attachment 564284
Walt Disney Studios and Columbia Pictures will bring based on 1984 film Ghostbusters as we will bust many ghosts in the streets of New York City, entering the Sedgewick Hotel as the guests will try to catch Slimer, as you'll try stop Walter for shut down Ghostbusters HQ to let all ghosts free in NYC, then finally going up the apartment building as we will fight Gozer before the world will ends , but watch out Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man! Opened in 2004 at Walt Disney Studios, Production Courtyard for Ghostbusters 20th anniversary.
The Ghostbusters make a great walkthrough attraction, I should know I experienced it at Horror Nights in 2019! With that said I think this is a good retelling of the story, but like I have mentioned before I think some proofreading will do wonders for these projects. Some parts are a bit oddly worded which takes me out of the experience.
