Team Cap: SYWTBAI Season 14, Project Two Open Brainstorming

[spacemt354]

Random thought - can we re-name this team to the 1977 New York Yankees?

If anyone is unfamiliar -- there's a whole documentary on it called The Bronx is Burning. The Yankees manager Billy Martin didn't get along with the owner George Steinbrenner and kept getting fired/re-hired, and there was a lot of drama throughout the season in the clubhouse.

Sounds familiar hehe...But, good news -- in the end, they won the World Series.

I read this book when I was younger. Some really solid ideas we can use. I think we should focus on messing with the individual's brain.

If this is the direction (which I like!) -- I have CT scans for educational purposes on file and a whole anatomy app there I can scan into the brain and make custom images for the "science" behind the attraction. Make it seem "scientifically -accurate"

Just let me know what the plan is!

I was just throwing that book of for inspiration. There's some really cool rides which make the people go insane which seems to fit

For example this is an image of the vertebrae and the spinal cord -- perhaps if it is a ride, the back of the seat could have some sort of stimulation which could travel up to the brain through the afferent neurons and cause disruptions in the parietal lobe. -- and we could make a pathway for it on this image.

The Pit of 100 Trials
This attraction based on the area of the same name from Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door will have guests boarding vehicles into a mysterious dungeon of temptation, fear, confusion.

The ride is meant to test the quick decision making process of humans, especially when they are under pressure or have to make extreme life choices. Guests start by entering a dungeon like building for a queue. The further they go down, the darker it gets.

The overall physical description of the attraction would be a simple track ride through a warehouse building containing no scenes. The bulk of the ride comes from the "Neuro Reality Helmets" (helmets that access different points of the human brain and create an image of them through VR goggles). The ride vehicle would be a simple in design, seating one person each for the feeling of isolation (although other vehicles would be relatively close). Each vehicle would have two buttons to press, each with a different choice (one would be to give in or face what you encounter, the other would be to run away or resist a temptation).

At the beginning, decisions would be easy for people to make, but as more trials commence, and the repetitive music drags on, people get immersed into the attraction and it starts to feel real. The decisions made will be recorded and given to participants. The ride can last up to 2 hours.

The music:

Guys I'm sorry, this isn't that good. I tried my best and may need some help fleshing it out .

Thanks

Looks nice! 3/4 extra credit projects done! @David2319 have a safe trip today -- I know you said you'll have 8 hours in the car -- do you have any crazy carnival ride ideas?

I watched the video. Some of these rides look like they will kill you, is that was is needed?

In a way. I don't know what it is about the video but I got an uncomfortable feeling looking at the CGI. It's a bit creepy (and even looking at the comments I'm not alone haha) it reminds me of Escape from Tomorrow for some reason.

The "safest" option would be some sort of slow moving ferris wheel, but it has a quirky path to it. Something less intense. We have room for one more extra credit project if you'd be interested in doing something like that?

Do you have ideas for the ride itself? I can't write the backstory until I know what the ride is.

May I recommend doing something with this flat ride? I haven't seen it used before on any of the teams...and maybe the design of it is similar to the ferris where were the spinal cord breaking attraction isn't the motive, but more of a zainy design to it.

Or something crazy with the caterpillar flat ride.

 

[spacemt354]

The last idea I have is tunnel of love boat ride...but a psychological tunnel like in Willy Wonka.

Or the Tunnel of Love, Indubitably.

 

[spacemt354]

@Angels and Disney's -- what are some of the thoughts you've had?

I was going to suggest a carnival train ride. Or something slow paced.

Cool!

Cool!

At Test Track and thinking about the flat ride... what about a car that is picked up by a tornado?

Cool! Do you think you have time to write it up for an extra credit project?

I'm waiting for some more people to chime in with this main attraction -- I'm glad to type up some "science" behind it in as much detail as we need...but we need to come to a consensus first.
