Ok, before you all jump at me and scream and shout, and throw me into room 101 with Stitch meets the tikis et al. Let's take a side step here.
This may have already been discussed, if so I apologise.
Right, lets imagine that there was no laugh floor. Lets say there was no hated nemo attraction on the otherside of future world. Lets say there wasn't even a pixar place and possiblle Monsters Coaster on the cards. Ok now i know some of you anti-Pixar-swapping people will have trouble doing this, but please humour me.
Right, are our heads free of Randall-esq thoughts? Jolly good. Now, Universe of Energy is old. UoE is tired. UoE well is just a little bit drab. Now i do like the ride. I like the whole idea. I like the crappy dinosaurs. I like Ellen (to some extent). But it's simply not drawing in the crowds. A bit of a wasted space.
Ellen, although still in the spotlight, and white suit too, is perhaps not at the forefront of the minds of our youth. Especially not out of the US of A.
If Disney were to redesign, slightly, i believe Monsters Inc would actually be a very good overlay, that would work. You can keep all the elements. You can practically keep the whole story. But just replace Ellen and the prof with Mike and Sulley? It would make the ride more family friendly, bring in the crowds, provide a little more humour, (Mike fending off a dinosaur, monsters fighting monsters). It could all work.
But most of all the actual ideas wouldnt need to change. It can still be Mike learning about energy as an alternative source to laughter/screams. He can still be on jeopardy....maybe even hosted by Roz.
I just can imagine it. I like it in my mind.
You guys will probably hate it.
In fact the idea was jokingly said in another thread. But the more i thought about it, the more in really does work. Unlike other overlays which take away from the magic and classicness of it all.
I guess i should just say ''shoot me now?''
