Animal Crossing could make for a neat land. In terms of rides, at the very least I could picture a very easygoing boat-based dark ride, going down a river through one such town.

QotD: How would you pull off an Avengers E-ticket?

I would make a Dark ride using kuka arm technology.

Who thinks futurama would be a good fit for tommorowland, with Disney owning fox now? It probably would work better for the deco tech tommorowland.

Futurama is one of my favorite series ever. I absolutely do not want to see it in any Disney Park because so many of its great distinguishing elements just would not fit in a Disney theme park.

I guess you could say I've always had the same idea as Disney since I would make the ride just like how they showed. Each person would get their own seat as they help the Avengers fight.

Interesting.
I think that so much of this E-ticket is going to be based on how they pull off the integration of the ride system into the experience.

Personally, I think it should be a 5-part experience
Backstory: You've been scouted by the Avengers to use your skills.
Part 1: A walkthrough through an "Avengers Museum" of sorts. The Hogwarts Castle per se.
Part 2: A "what's your power?" segment. Are you a super soldier? A cosmic hero? A suit wearer? A mutant? An Inhuman? Something else entirely?
Part 3: Practice with powers. A VR or AR segment. Have fun with your powers for a couple of minutes before a massive coalition of villains interrupts your training.
Part 4: Quinjet Simulator. Get to safety in a Quinjet that gets taken down by some villains
Part 5: Interactive trackless dark ride. Use your powers to help the Avengers in their fight against the villains.

I like this. It is kinda like a ROTR type experience. Plus it fits really well with the idea of being immersed into the ride which Disney has been starting to do.

I would say dark ride with kuka arm tech or a 3D motion-based dark ride, but this is a really cool idea.

Kingdom Hearts would be a personal favorite just because I love the franschise. I think indie stuff like Undertale or Shovel Knight have worlds that would translate incredibly well into a theme park.
I did that back in SYWTBAI!
Five Nights at Freddy's
Night Shift
So, for any of you who dont know, Five Nights at Freddy's is an indie horror game that has blown up in a huge way over the last few years. 4 succesful main series games, 2 popular spin offs, 2 books, and 1 upcoming move. Not to mention an insane amount of merchandise! The series is, at its most simply stated, about a haunted Chuckie Cheese type pizza place. For a description of the maze, check out these videos! As a totally real YouTube gamer, I was invited in an advanced your of the maze alongside Markiplier, MatPat, and others! This is totally a real thing that happened!
For more info, I hand you over to my Universal insider friend who totally wasn't supposed to be me with a fake mustache in another video I didn't have time to make.
"Hey! This is @Eulersnotationonmycrumpet. I am @Pionmycake 's Universal insider friend. So,this Fnaf maze is built to disorient people (darkness, blinking lights, steam) so they think they are walking in a loop, but it really is all new rooms. Each "loop" through the pizzeria gets smaller and more cramped to make people feel like everything closing in and getting more intense. Most of the effects here are very simple, a couple costumes and some simple shadow projections do most of the work.
They did a lot of statue work for this one though. A lot of figures here. Some even are very simple animatronics. It was a bigger investment than Universal usually likes, but they forsee this as being a hit and bringing in a whole new audience. There are already proposals for a maze next year based on either Fnaf 3 or Sister Location. Viral marketing through Let's Players, like Pi Plays, is seen as a big bonus for Universal.
The Pizza in the waiting area is a genius move. It's the exact same pizza as the Fantastic Four Cafe carted over and stuck on a paper plate with the Freddy Fazbear logo. The genius part is that they charge at least a dollar more a slice just for the novelty. They know fans will eat that stuff up both figuratively and literally.
Over all, this maze was chosen not just for the franchise's huge recent success and how great a fit for a haunted house it is, but for the new audiences and new marketing oppurtunities it brings. This new wave of cult indie horror games is something Universal hopes to capitalise on in the next few years. Some analysts say it could cause almost as much growth for the halloween event as Walking Dead did. Especially if the Fnaf movie does well and more India horror games can be included in HHN. Universal regrets missing out with Slenderman, they won't make that mistake again."

There were videos that were lost at some point where I pretended to be a let's player vlogging about an exclusive preview. Other than that it is all there as a simple project.

When I eventually someday become a cast member again, I'd definitely enjoy doing those again! They were super fun and would be even more fun now that I understand that stuff better.
Visually, it would be a great fit and I'd love to see some Easter Eggs. Tonally, I don't think the show would fit in the Magic Kingdom. It's a bit too edgy/mature in its comedy and a bit too cynical to really fit in a Disney park. I could see there being some kind of experience in a Disney Springs/Downtown Disney type environment though.
Flight of Passage style! The MCU stuff doesn't really lend itself as well to physical effects and figures.
A roller coaster with multiple different branching paths so you see a whole host of Avengers in a variety of different set pieces. Much like Mission: Breakout it would have take several re-rides to see every variation. Think of it as a physically realized Star Tours 2.0
@Pi on my Cake I strongly disagree that physical MCU stuff couldn't work. The Mission: Breakout queue is a testament to that. With that said, I think it'd be a shame if an Avengers E-Ticket didn't at least feature a fully realized Hulk AA. I could also picture a whole room of physical Iron Man suits and even a Thanos AA with a physical gauntlet I could see being pretty easily realized. The only stuff I think would probably have to be done with screens is any sort of flying scenarios or high speed chases.

RotR style - on an Avengers Helicarrier.
Mix of physical sets and AAs for the scenes, projections for the background fighting.

Is the weekly challenge optional? I’ll probably do it, but just in case.
P.S: which should I do, a Major E ticket wall-e dark ride in wdw Tomorrowland , a hkdl fantasyland overhaul, or a Second Wdw Fantasyland Expansion?

I remember a fellow member @JAMMYD778 who posted a few imagineering creations here a while ago
I'm subbed to the YouTube channel and just uploaded a new coaster last week - it's amazing!
