Ok, I know i've been quiet on this board for awhile, But Thats cause SOJI's been keeping me tied up. But...I have some free time, so here's an Idea I've been working on...
First off: MGM made a good choice by putting a Star Wars Attraction in, this movie has a HUGE fan-following, but the ride..is a bit wimpy..If you consider the huge Star Wars universe, you'd think they could make soemthing a bit...better..So, I have thought of something that really pushes the envelope in theme park attractions..I'd imagine it would also end up being the LONGEST ride, due to the fact that, right now, I clock it to being around 30 minutes long..But let me explain..It has 3 parts to it, its not just one LONG ride..
So...
We start out with the Motion Simulators..
This part of the ride will remain pretty much, untouched..With a new movie that is a bit better graphics wise, it will still have the same general Idea..Only you'll be sent out with another Ship. Two seperate tour ships, one following the other..they both follow each other into lightspeed, and both follow each other as they pass endor..and follow each other as they end up in the middle of the war.
But, at the end, after the death star is destroyed, a last tie fighter goes on a suicide mission, runs by, and shoots both of the tour vessels..Both are damaged, and start plummeting, until a Rebel starship catches them in their tractor beam..
You're informed that you are aboard the Rogue Squadron's Lead ship, and that, due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, you are now enlisted to help in an attack against the empire.
This is where the Simulated ride ends. When you exit the 'cab' the next room would be themed to the interior of a starship hangar. You would be met by 2 Cast Members, dressed in bright orange rebel fatigues. They would be accompained by two remote controlled robots..R2-D2, and your pilot bot, both have left the confines of the ship. The cast members would lead you down a hall way as the explain the situation, apparently, The empire is attacking Naboo (sp?) with a robotic army, and we need to take out some shield generators (don't we ALWAYS..) but the ships we need are in a hangar on the other side the jungle..Youll need to go by foot to the other side. You can also chose to go by air (which is where the easily scared would go, so they can still experience the rest of the ride) Those who decide to 'hoof it' will be lead to a wall. The cast member would push a button, and a hatch would open, revealing a bunch of 'belts' which would fit diagonally down your chest, and have a large 'button' on the front..It would be explained that these are shield generators that should protect you from enemy fire. Then you are handed a blaster, which connects to your belt..
You are split up into 4 teams, and lead to a wall with doors lining it. The floor would rumble and shake as the ship 'lands' and soon, the doors would open..
'Go! Go! Go!"
each team would have a specific path they'd follow, so it's not just a free for all, the path would twist and wind, but it would never cross another path, so noone gets lost. All you have to do is follow the path. PLus, decorations on the side would ensure that its immposible to leave the path. Along the way, Things would pop up, Storm Troopers, Driods, Etc..it would be your job to shoot them, if you don't shoot them in time, then your 'badge' would vibrate to indicate you've been hit. Eventually, you would reach the bunker, and enter inside, shooting a few more droids and such. Then, you'd find your ships (and the rest of the group that chose to 'fly' in) You'd board the vehicles, and be told to insert your 'guns' into the slot in front of you, this would activate the canon..The ride from here on wouild resemble spiderman..your vehickles are really just specialized, and very fast tanks, that you would take through the Imperial station, blowing up targets..etc..Unlike spiderman, this would use limited screens, relying mainly on AA to make it more realistic..
Near the end, however, you'd finally be ready to blow up the generator (which is spinning very fast, and sending out these big energy waves...) but a droid type thing would interupt..It would catch you in it's tractor beam, and lift you, teasingly putting you up against the generator, as you get closer your ship would vibrate wildly, and get hotter..Right before he's ready to throw you in...You see you star speeder fly straight through the wall, ramming the Robot, and incidentally causing you to drop to the floor with a thud. R2 would beep, and your pilot would pop out
"Not a bad flight, huh?"
Then your car would turn, and enter the unload station.You'd given your score and...Ta-da! A world class, one of the kind, attraction.
