YES! That would totally work! We would just have to build it outside of the grounds. Perhaps a new visitor center?

I would like to mention that Gettysburg has a Cyclorama, which is a rotating diorama show of the battlefield, at their visitor center. Although I would personally would rather build a new experience there instead of replacing something, I thought I would put that out there.
I agree, that’s a really cool idea!!

What about something in Japan (maybe Mount Fuji or the Tokyo Tower)? I feel like Japan is very tourist friendly, so I feel like it could be an interesting option, and we could go for something very technologically advanced for the attraction system
Heck yes I would love to do something based on Japan!!

A visitor center would be a perfect fit! Something far away to not disturb the sight lines of the building, but close for arriving guests. A perfect introduction to the building’s history before they visit the palace itself.
We have a lot of really good ideas already!! With more to come I’m sure! We’re gonna have to narrow the field a bit before we even consider a vote.

Mount Fuji? The ride writes itself! /s
But actually Japan would be an awesome site. It’s transformation from an isolationist, uniquely feudal kingdom to centralized empire on rivaling Europe to modern tech capital would make for a wonderful story.
We could also go totally obscure and do like,…North Dakota or something. Just to be completely ridiculous.

True! That would be a cool idea!
We just need to make sure we don't copy Meet the World from TDL. It was essentially a Japanese history ride. Maybe we could focus on an individual castle from the country?
You posted this and my head immediately went to Corn Palace. I think that's in South Dakota? Anyway, that would be ridiculous!
I woulda thought Corn Palace was Iowa, but it IS in fact in South Dakota. Well,…thoughts?!?!!True! That would be a cool idea!

Excellent! If we’re bringing up hometown landmarks, I’d also feel inclined to suggest San Diego’s Balboa Park. Built for the 1916 Panama Exposition celebrating the brand new canal, the Park is famous for kickstarting Spanish Revival architecture.
Today it houses over a dozen museums and gardens built in the Spanish Revival style, along with a Japanese Garden and Giant Organ. Most famous of the Panama Exposition was the large number of exotic animals imported. After the exposition, the city protected the animals by founding the San Diego Zoo just outside the Park, which has since grown to be the #1 zoo in the world.
An attraction themed to the Exposition and the Animals escaping, triggering the need for a zoo, would be a lot of fun!

I’m a be honest my first thought was to do some ridiculous midwest landmark like the world’s largest pumpkinYou posted this and my head immediately went to Corn Palace. I think that's in South Dakota? Anyway, that would be ridiculous!
I mean. Yes?!!
Also love this idea!!! Plenty of history, arguably the most beautiful part of the country, and an established tourist destination!Excellent!

I’m obviously partial to Motown, but this would be an excellent choice!

No, not personal bias. Having gone to college near Lake Michigan and worked a couple blocks from Lake Eerie, I would be totally down for it. Maybe the Edmund Fitzgerald? There's even a Great Lakes Brewery beer named after it. Duluth, MN would be a good setting for it.
As a midwesterner, I would totally support something around here. Yes, the Corn Palace is in Mitchell, SD. I'll throw in a free pic just for fun.You posted this and my head immediately went to Corn Palace. I think that's in South Dakota? Anyway, that would be ridiculous!

I love how the leading two ideas are the World-Renowned French Court of Versailles… and that corn place in South Dakota
Both are great
Omg I didn’t realize you had so many ties to this area!!!
LOVE that photo, Priest!!!
Corn is versatile!!

Fantastic job on the brainstorming front today team! We definitely have enough ideas to start voting, but we also have plenty of time. Let’s keep brainstorming possible settings and what unique ride systems we could make suited to that landmark.
Example: a Carrousel of Progress ride in Versailles or the Berlin Palace, a Model T slot car in Detroit the Motor City.
Once enough ideas have been pitched we can get to voting, but for now we can use our extra time to keep throwing out ideas and make sure we land on the perfect project.
