Team Goelz, Project Ten - Brainstorming Thread

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Does this mean that whoever is nominated is eliminated by default or?

No, you will still vote. Pionmycake was automatically nominated and will be placed against whoever the Team Leader's nominee is. No automatic/default eliminations here.

Maybe we could do a couple of "Genre" rooms. Sort of like how the Great Movie Ride has Horror, Western, Gangster, musical.

Like we could do the ride divided into sections more than individual scenes
Horror: Sweeney Todd, Phantom, etc
Rebellion: Les Mis, Hamilton, Wicked, etc
Comedy: Book of Mormon, etc

Wonderful idea, my friend! Maybe we could begin with "The Ones That Started It All" (i;e Oklahoma! (first book musical), Show Boat (first "modern" musical, Porgy and Bess).

We could maybe end with "Spectacle" (The Lion King's "Circle of Life" being to this ride what Wizard of Oz is to The Great Movie Ride...and besides, I really want to end this with "One" from A Chorus Line.)

I shouldn't intervene, but...

If you end with "One" as your finale and have Rocky Horror in the horror segment... A++++++++++++++++'s FOR ALL!

I feel a song from Grease would make a much stronger ending.

I'm a big Hamilton fan. Would love the opportunity to help with that scene. Wicked is obviously a must. We'll probably want to decide on the exterior and number of scenes, etc.

 

[Snoopy]

As far as Wicked goes, I'm almost certain we replaced the Wizard of Oz scene from the GMR with Defying Gravity for the GBR. Maybe another song?

No, you're right on the money. It's 'Defying Gravity' or go home. As far as Hamilton goes, I was thinking we could use the pivotal 'Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)' sequence. The problem with that is that this sequence is full of fast-paced choreography. We could always go with 'Thw World Was Wide Enough," and have the moment in which the bullet is traveling in slow motion toward Hamilton while he sees into the other side, microseconds away from being shot.

"My Shot" would be another potential candidate.

"My Shot" would be another potential candidate.

That's the problem with Hamilton: too many memorable songs lol. But yeah, I can easily see 'My Shot' fitting seamlessly in that it's the anthem to the entire production. Let's put that at number one for now actually. These animatronics would have to be seriously impressive by the way...

 

[Basketbuddy101]

In the meantime, seeing as how Hamilton will likely be an important part of the attraction, I'll go ahead and render up a model of the stage that will be used as one of the actual show rooms. Shouldn't take long.

I would like to also add maybe a
Adventure: Lion King, Brigadoon

Actually, I was thinking...maybe we could use live actors instead of animatronics? It would make the "performance" seem much more realistic.

I read that. I think that's a great idea, but only for the really-fast paced sequences. In Hamilton's case, I imagine it would work tremendously well.

 

[Pi on my Cake]

Alright, so I don't see live actors being practical. One or two roles that are basically just standing and talking, that can work. But performers dancing and/or singing on a loop constantly throughout the day is not practical with how often the cast would have to rotate.

It's done on the Great Movie Ride, albeit on a much smaller scale. We could go hybrid and have half of the characters be live action and the others animatronic, or we could use them sparingly. Regardless, it makes sense to have at least a few live actors in the ride.

Yes, but they just stand and talk. And they still only do a small handfull of ridethroughs before they switch off. Something more taxing like singing or dancing would be impractical in anything other than a small scale.

I recommend live performers other than tour guide type things being used very sparingly if at all.

 

[Magic Feather]

I'm with Pi on this one. And for Hamilton (and most musicals) I was thinking a medley of The Opening, My Shot and the Schyler Sisters. (Start with the opening up to "What's Your Name man? Alexander Hamilton") Jump into the Chorus of my shot before the vehicles turn towards the center where the Schyler Sisters pop up on a turntable, and do a part of that song.

 

[TheOriginalTiki]

Please give me the name of a team leader for this round soon. Thanks in advance

 

[kmbmw777]

Would it be possible for maybe one character per scene to be a real person. It wouldn't be more taxing then performing a musical, would it?

I can see that. Could we possibly include Hello Dolly (It Only Takes a Moment). That was one of my favorite sequences in Wall-E, although I know that was the film version, not the production.
