SYWTBAI Season 18 - Round One: Team Next Gen Brainstorming Thread

[NigelChanning]

Does anyone have any ideas for the name of the LotR river attraction?

 

[Outbound]

This project will give a pretty good idea of what I mean.

Oh no! It’s been removed!

Does anyone have any ideas for the name of the LotR river attraction?

How about There and Back Again, the in-universe name of Bilbo’s book that Frodo took inspiration from?

LOTR’s in-universe name is the Red Book, which doesn't translate as well.

 

[goofyyukyuk]

Love that name!

 

[Sharon&Susan]

In the festival area, could there a small stage show within the festival area where Gandalf (or an original thespian character) recreates key story moments with audience participation?

 

[goofyyukyuk]

Great idea! I think that’d be a super cool thing that would fit in really well with the theme!

I love this! It definitely shouldn’t be Gandalf himself since he’s in the Mines of Moria in our land, but a traveling actor troupe dressed as the characters would be amazing!

What is still open for me to take?

Just a thought, what if Radagast is in charge of the Fireworks Show while Gandalf is away? I think he's a comical enough character to "mess things up" while still getting the job done. He could also talk to animatronic animals.

 

[goofyyukyuk]

Also, we need someone to design the entry to the land through Bilbo’s Hobbit hole if anybody would like to do that.

That’d be under Shire land Description

Although this would be a cool concept, I'm worried this might create an unnecessary bottleneck. Maybe there should be two pathways, one that takes you through Bag End and another takes you around the shire from another entry point? We don't want to close up the entire land in one door.

 

[goofyyukyuk]

Fair point... I was just wondering what natural ways we could create as entry points. I’d love to have a walk-through of Bilbo’s house regardless, but I’d love to hear other ideas for a better entry point.

Actually, I think I may be able to get this to work. Am I able to tackle the entrance area?

 

[Disneylover152]

My thoughts is just expanding it, and making it much bigger and grander. The house can be in the center, and then natural pathways through the caves can be scattered to the sides of this? Does this make sense?

 

[goofyyukyuk]

Go for it! Do you want to take over the land description for the Shire as a whole?

I don't think I know much about the Shire as I would need in order to write this properly. If I'm gonna be honest, I've done some research on LOTR today, this entire project is just foreign to me . I think I'd be able though to figure our the main entrance to the land.

For the uninitiated who don’t have 12 hours to watch the full extended trilogy, this video does a good job catching you up on the basics
