Team Citra Brainstorming Thread - Project Three: Animation Domination

[NigelChanning]

Here are some other ideas
Rugrats Rescue (working title):
In this dark ride, you sit in your “strollers” and take the role as a baby lost in Reptar-Land and Tommy, Chucky, and the gang help you find your way.
Rocko’s Modern Madness:
Use an interactive remote to battle enemies in this interactive dark ride based on Rocko’s Modern Life.
Arnold’s Flashlight Frenzy:
Point flashlights at targets in New York’s biggest game of Hide and Go Seek hosted by Arnold and the gang.

Both of the other teams have chosen their IP, can we all vote by the end of today so we can pick our jobs by the end of tomorrow?

 

[Brer Panther]

I still vote for Laff-a-Lympics, but I'd be fine with Tom and Jerry too.

 

[NigelChanning]

I vote for Tom and Jerry

 

[JokersWild]

I also vote Tom and Jerry. I hate the property, but I think that it’s the most unique option we have, haha

 

[JokersWild]

So I think that the consensus is Tom and Jerry. Let’s gather some ideas to solidify the concept, then we can split off tomorrow (Wednesday.) What we got?

 

[Sharon&Susan]

I vote for Tom and Jerry, I'm really excited for the potential of a dueling dark ride mixed with slapstick.

So now that 3 out of 5 have voted for Tom and Jerry, I think we can move onto actually working on it!

 

[Sharon&Susan]

I'm still trying to think of what we could do with the queue and exterior to make it really stand out from the rest of the ride and the Dubai ride.

If we're doing it inside one of the studio parks we could have it start in a replica of the MGM cartoon studio and only have a small stint of the queue be inside a residential house.

Starting it inside a theater would be too similar to Runaway Railroad.

I like the studios idea. What park will this ride be in? I’m also wondering if we’re considering a pre-show.

 

[JokersWild]

King’s still had the Hanna-Barbera until 2010. I still think that that would be a unique placement.

I’m also not sure about setting this in a studio. We have to keep the scale smaller, and I think that with a theme like this we should keep more in-universe With the facade/queue than meta. Maybe the house? I mean, we could even have a more generic, Fantasyland-style facade and the ride wouldn’t lose anything.

The exterior for the Tom and Jerry attraction at Warner Bros World Dubai is the House so I think we should choose something else to set itself apart

My concern with setting it inside the house is that it might be too similar to the queue of the Dubai rollercoaster and the rest of our ride:


I'm alright with setting it at King's Island, as I stated earlier I just want to avoid having it be a Kidz Zone replacement.

 

[JokersWild]

Oof you right. The only other thing that I can think of offhand for the facade is something more generic that transitions into the world (ie Jerry queue eventually goes through a mouse hole before reaching load) but it’s not ideal. I mean, we could do MGM Studios, but I don’t think that this IP or attraction scale lends itself to something meta.

 

[JokersWild]

Another thing that I think we should really solidify is the story. We have two tracks working in tandem to compliment the same story. It’s imperative that we get everyone on the same page for consistency.

I’ll be checking in periodically, but I’m at work right now unfortunately. As usual, I’ll be back this afternoon with ideas. I have too much time to waste at my job, haha.

 

[Sharon&Susan]

My thinking would be to have it similar to the Funtastic World on a slightly grander scale, where the cartoon characters and the animators are both real in-universe. Maybe we could have Spike be the narrator of a documentary on T&J the cartoon series that transitions to the mission statement?

I'd have to develop it a little further but we could also have a segment in the queue take place in another MGM cartoon(s), such as Red Hot Riding Hood or a Droopy cartoon. It could be interesting, but it might be a bit disjointed. Have it be the ink and paint room might work.

 

[Sharon&Susan]

A few of the classic T&J acknowledged they were cartoon stars such a this one:

Maybe we can have it be a mix of an animation studio and a traditional live action studio (Roger Rabbit style). We could tour through a prop room and the background department both which have plenty of references to classic Tom and Jerrys and other MGM cartoons.

We could have a preshow that is a satiric biography on the titular characters lives, where it turns out they actually fight off screen too, and then we get an explanation on the toy cat and mouse that we'll be riding.

Final segment of the queue is depending on what side you choose is Jerry's mousehole or the house at normal size.

Please by all means develop it. Personally, I think that it’s a bit complicated when we should be focusing on simplicity, but I’d love to see a full pitch for it.

I’m going to work on a pitch too while I’m at work. Please, @NigelChanning09, @Brer Panther, or @DashHaber, if any of you guys have any more ideas for this I’d love to hear them. We still have plenty of time to develop.

 

[NigelChanning]

What if we used a concept from the cancelled Baby Herman attraction that was originally planned for Hollywood Studios. We take the roles of stunt actors piloting wind-up mice/cars in a new Tom and Jerry cartoon.

As a bonus, just as a tip, maybe you should consider making a short summary of the future of the attraction after the license expires. What would it be replaced with? Just a short summary. It would probably be rethemed like how boo blasters on boo hill Replaced Scooby Doo.
