OVERVIEW While Adventureland will span hundreds of thousands of years in 'content' - from the 1400s Caribbean, to demi-gods that have lived through 3000 years of history in the Polynesia Islands, the common threads throughout Adventureland will be that spirit of discovery as well as...music.
Music will play a vital role in keeping everything connected. Each attraction will have a classic soundtrack or score, that are unique on their own, but combined together in one land, creates a music sensation unlike any other land. From Pirates to Moana, to the Enchanted Tiki Room, to Lilo & Stitch, each will have a vital soundtrack telling the story of adventure.
From mischief and not giving a hoot in Pirates, to finding out 'how far you'll go' in Moana, to finding a 'tropical paradise' in the Tiki Room, to discovering a 'Hawaiian Roller Coaster' ride to ohana with Lilo and Stitch. Each adventure in Adventureland offers a journey that stands on its own, but is connected by the thread of music that guides you through the attractions, restaurants, and shops. The music is the linchpin that ties the land together.
Along with the music -- the locations in Adventureland flow together starting in the Caribbean (traveling 'south' from Frontierland) However -- as seen in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, "up is down" -- so even though you're traveling north, you're actually going south.
And on the other side of the "Pacific is where the tropical Hawaiian and Polynesian attractions are located (Moana - in the Pacific), Tiki Room and Lilo in the islands.
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN SEA By @DlpPhantom After much demand the Walt Disney Company has announced that a improved upon version of Pirates Of The Caribbean will open up with Walt Disney Worlds Adventure-land park. The new version will be the most innovative attraction yet featuring log flume sized drops and a ride that goes both out and in its ginormous show building.
Orange is the queue/dark blue is ride path/light blue is ground floor or water/yellow is 2nd floor/red is the 3rd floor/purple is 4th story/green is exit and gift shop/ brown is ship wreck/ grey is skull rock
The ride is located at Caribbean Cove an area of adventure land park. Guest will enter through a Spanish fortress that goes around the entire land. On the inside is a small town and a dock. A Spanish warship is currently dock for defense against pirates. The entrance for Pirates Of The Caribbean Sea is located in a tower of the fortress.
The queue has guest weave under a tarp for a few minutes before entering the fort. The first room we enter contains a spiral staircase to lower and higher levels but we move on into the weapon locker the walls are covered in muskets and swords. We go up a small ramp into the canteen. The main feature is a giant barrel full of rum. A small hole is making some drop onto the floor. Also in the room is a drinking fountain hide next to a smaller barrel. The line leads into a hall way with slots for muskets to be shot from and a canon every few feet. A slow ramp resent is the transition from the colorful area to the dungeon underneath.
We pass many cells with nothing left but bones. Two skeletons die playing chess till reaching a stand still. Another has a bird and it's nest on it’s hat. Taking another turn we enter the torture chamber. On both sides on the line are skeletons in different torture devices. Afterwards guest are rerouted to one of 2 lines and proceed to the nearby loading area. The boats load like they did in the original Magic Kingdom with two boats being loaded on each side.
“Ahoy me matey’s please keep your hands and legs inside the boat so ye don't lose any of those precious limbs. Remain seated at all times we don't stop for those who fall over the side. Lastly be prepared to get wet!”
Are boat is rolled out of the boarding area and dropped down into the water. A quick turn reveals the first lift hill. At the top of the hill is the classic skull and crossbones.
“So yea be seeken adventure with salt old pirates”says the skull,”then you be warned danger lies ahead and it's to late to alter course.”
We exit the fort to a great view over Adventureland. We proceed on the forts walls into another area of the fortress. We pass under a metal gate and enter the prison. Pirates fill the sells and try to bribe a dog guarding them to give the key. We pass a smaller sell with a big pirate sleeping in the corner of his sell is a parrot.
“Yo ho yo ho a parrot’s life for me.” Skawk “Dead men tell no tales, dead men tell no tales.” Whsssh “Incoming ship incoming ship, brace for impact.”
Our boat drops as a canon ball takes out the floor below us. And we plunge right I the middle of a fierce battle between the town and the pirates. A pirate captain with a red coat insults his crew and his opponents. Canon balls hit the water getting us all wet. In the distance we can see the Spanish ship coming to aid in the defense. Getting closer to the town we see a pirate boarding party struggling to paddle their way to land. Two nervous soldiers defend the main gate. But they are terrible shots so they keep missing the oncoming pirates.
Up ahead the towns mayor is getting mercilessly dunked into the well by a group of pirates including the pirate captain from before.
“Where is the map to the hidden treasure?”
Don’t tell them Carlos, don't be chicken.”
Says a women from above before she gets shot at by a pirate. On the other side of the canal an auction is going on for the women of the town. An auctioneer stands before the crowd of pirates.
“Do you sell her by the pound haha” says the crowd, “We want the redhead we want the redhead.”
“Spin around deary show em your other side.” Says the auctioneer.
The boat goes under a bridge and we can see the parrot from before holding two women both dressed like pirates. The houses of the town are getting ran sacked by pirates. View attachment 168953
A few other pirates sit on barrels drinking rum another has an entire barrel up to his mouth while he chugs it. View attachment 168957
Two drunk pirates sit in a dingy drinks more and laughing at each other. A drunk fat and tired pirate sits on the ground looking at a map behind him a scared soldier pops his head out and looks at the map. The last thing to see in this room is a drunk pirate talking to a cat.
After going under another bridge we see the pirates burning the town and singing. Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me. The scene is filled with pirates just like the Disneyland version. Including the pig pirate, the hat pirate and the filthy foot pirate.
We return to the fort for one more scene and see pirates shooting cannons at each other before an explosion goes off and we drop out of the building into a ship wreck.
This is where the ride starts to really become its own take on the classic. Overlooking the shipwreck is a giant skull rock. Inside the last surviving bit of the ship is a skeletal captain on a bed looking at a bed and holding a key a few pirates and the parrot attempt to take the map and key without touching the long dead captain. It's also important to note that the scene is light by the time of day it is do to being only partially inside.
The boat turns towards a cave at the base of skull rock and enters the mountain thru it. Inside we proceed up a large lift hill with the words dead men tell no tales echoes through the cavern. Around halfway up the lift hill a hole in the rock gives us a view of a skeleton steering a wrecked ship in a storm.
The boat reaches the top and enters a cavern filled with water falls. A skeleton reaches for a place to hold on above him. Another sits in a in water fall. The boat heads straight under a water fall into a different cavern.
Inside is a room full of gold and jewels on top of it all is a pirate skeleton around the room the living pirate crew, parrot and captain grab all of it. One even tries to make snow angel in the gold.
The boat turns away and exits the cavern. It is now in the skull the words dead men tell no tales get louder and louder until we plunge down a 75 foot drop into a bay by the previous ship wreck.
The ride ends after the boat goes under a bridge and back into the fort right before loading there is one last scene. The parrot sits on a treasure chest and sings the song from earlier.
“Yo ho yo ho a parrot’s life for me.”
The boat is now brought up a shall incline on to the belt. As we see the skull and crossbones one last time.
“I see yeh made it back now make no mistakes now matey's and wait till the boat reaches a stop to disembark.”
The ride exits out into a large gift shop called tesoro bahìa. Merchandise include shirts, towels and action figures for the main pirates. It also includes a small fruit stand out side the shop.
MOANA LAGOON SHOW
By @mickeyfan5534 Based on the hit 2016 film, journey with Moana, a strong-willed daughter of a chief of a Polynesian tribe, who is chosen by the ocean itself to reunite a mystical relic with a goddess. When a blight strikes her island, Moana sets sail in search of Maui, a legendary demigod, in the hope of saving her people.
On the adventure you will see and hear all of the classic scenes and songs from the film, featuring tracks such as "How Far I'll Go", "You're Welcome", and "We Know The Way" culminating in a dazzling aquatic display in front of the large stadium seating gazing out to Te Fiti.
From the outside, it seems like the classic Tiki Room. A thatched Hawaiian "Tiki Temple" sits beyond the tiki gardens, full of gentle flowing streams. The barker parrot from Disneyland's first few months is reintroduced to draw guests in. They queue past interactive Tangaroa & Friends idols, pulsing into the hut. Guests inside sit in the "theater-in-the-round" setting, in one of four seating sections facing the center, with sleeping animatronic birds above - the same setup as usual. It's all actually a little disappointing so far, since this room only features the central four (Jose, Pierre, Fritz, and Michael). No other animatronics.
Jose et al start their standard show at a cast member's beckoning. After their usual opening dialogue, the "Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room" song begins...and the four seat sections move - each is a trackless vehicle like Tokyo's higher-capacity Beauty & the Beast variety. (This reveal - it's not a show, it's a ride - is meant to be a pleasant show-stopping surprise.) Cars reverse through what was once a wall, and into the larger interior of the Tiki Temple, built into the side of an ocean cliff. It is here where we reveal the massive cast of singing AA birds in a tropical longhouse setting, complete with Adventurer Club details, plus fun elements like a "living" ship in a bottle, lava lamps, bubbling mai tais, etc.
(Groups of cars will head out into the ride roughly every minute. I picture we would use two separate theater rooms for the start, so one is loading while the other is performing. Timing should be leisurely, allowing guests enough time in each room to enjoy the songs at an appropriate pace. If each car holds 8 (2 rows of 4), and 4 go out at once, hourly capacity should be 1,920.)
Show scenes become dark ride set pieces. The "glee club" chorus of white cockatiels is set on a spinning Bubsy Berkeley fountain stage (in a room full of aquariums and mermaids) around which cars circle. Cockatiels sing "Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing." All throughout the ride, Jose and pals appear, singing and emceeing. Cars spin and they dance tracklessly with the music.
Cars exit the Tiki Temple into the enchanted nighttime jungle, teeming with all manner of exotic bird species. (Easter egg: Up's Kevin). The birds give a Hawaiian luau performance around a fire pit, joined in by animatronic suckling pigs on the serving platters and animatronic fish hooked on lines. Also little animated "dancing hula girl" figurines.
Past tiki torches and past waves crashing on the sandy shoreline. The scent of saltwater. Living, singing orchids and birds-of-paradise perform "The Hula Song." Past palm trees carved into idols. Waterways from the inland pineapple plantations sparkle and dance with Bellagio-style fountain effects.
Through a giant Moai's mouth (Easter Island head). Alongside warm glowing lava flows, where crude tiki statues and Moai all sing the "Hawaiian War Chant." A few statues surf the lava. Ritualistic drumming and dancing! Crescendo! The distant volcano erupts (screen effect). Michael: "The gods have been angered by all our celebratin'."
Cars retreat for shelter inside a dreamlike glow worm cavern behind a soothing one waterfall. Amidst beached Kon Tiki boats, the cave glistens and the entire cast - one room filled with over 50 animatronic wonders! - sings us out with a rousing climactic medley. (The exit leads to Dole Whips.)
Akin to other walk-through treehouse attractions in Disney Parks around the world, the Lilo and Stitch Treehouse is unique in its Hawaiian theme and Polynesian design. Unlike other trees that are either jungle themed (Swiss Family/Tarzan) or cartoon (Chip and Dale), this will have a distinct island flare to it, as well as hidden gems from the Lilo and Stitch film that eagle eyed explorers will be able to find on this Hawaiian roller coaster ride.
