I just don't like main street because thats 1901ish and, unless we're changing the movie, bedtime stories is 2007ish
That is fair. Dismantelling Tower of Terror could also work, and we could reuse the formula. Make more people already hate Sandler.
I know it sounds like I'm being counterproductive to our ultimate goal, but I have such little affinity for Adam Sandler that I'm seriously disinclined to watch Bedtime Stories or any other of his films for that matter lol
Wikipedia? That is what I did for the Young Frankenstein.

I'll probably do that. Or I could just watch a Nostalgia Critic review lol
That's if we go that route. Someone else could step in with another, better idea, and we go that route

Pi mentioned the DCEU movies - which are terrible movies in my opinion so they fit. The only problem I have with doing this is that we would probably start drawing inspiration from other franchises like the comic, Nolan films, etc.

Bedtime Stories Summary (for @Basketbuddy101 )
It's 1974, and a man by the name of Marty Bronson (Jonathan Pryce) is narrating a story. The story is about himself as the owner of a quaint hotel that is also run by himself and his 2 children. The daughter (Abigail Droeger), at 12 years old is very serious minded and runs the front desk efficiently. And the son (Thomas Hoffman), at 10 years old, has a wondrous imagination that will take him anywhere, but is absolutely, totally, completely, utterly, & entirely useless to the hotel. Little do the children know, though, that the motel is in debt, and Marty is forced to sell to an English chap by the name of Barry Nottingham (Richard Griffiths). However, Marty will only sell to Barry under the agreement that his son run the place when he is of age.

Fast forward and we see the quaint hotel quadrupled in size and is no longer a family establishment but more for the rich and famous, and Marty's son Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler) is the hotel handyman. When Nottingham announces plans to build a new hotel he appoints another man named Kendall (Guy Pearce) to become the manager.

After work, Skeeter visits his sister for it is his niece's birthday (who he hasn't seen in 4 years). There his sister Wendy (Courteney ) informs him that the school that the children Patrick (Jonathan Morgan Heit) and Bobbi (Laura Ann Kesling) attend, which she herself is the principal at, is being closed down and that has to relocate to Arizona for a job and asks Skeeter if he could watch her kids while she goes for an interview. Even though Skeeter doesn't know his niece and nephew very well, he agrees.

After the day shift babysitter Jill (Keri Russell) leaves, he settles them into bed and they ask him to read a story. After looking at the lame books that the children have, he refuses to read them and instead makes up his own story. Modeled around his own life, he tells the story of a medieval squire named "Sir Fixalot" and his rival "Sir Buttkiss". Throughout the story the kids make their own additions, such as the king giving Sir Fixalot a chance to prove himself. During the celebration, Patrick announces that "it starts raining gumballs" and the story ends.

The following day, Skeeter is called to fix Nottingham's television and during the visit, Nottingham tells Skeeter the "secret" theme that he had announced for the hotel - a rock and roll theme much like that of the Hard Rock Hotel. When Skeeter points out this has been done before he is offered the opportunity to compete with Kendall "to prove himself" for a better theme. While driving to his sister's house, Skeeter is suddenly greeted with a shower of gumballs raining down from above (which he does not see is caused by a crashed delivery truck). Skeeter concludes that the story has come true and quickly develops a plan to use it to his advantage.


For the next story, he elaborates a Western theme in which he receives a free "Ferrari" horse from a Native American chief. The children do not corroborate the story, but have him save a damsel in distress from several criminals. They claim he should be rewarded with a kiss, but an angry dwarf kicks him instead. That night, Skeeter goes out in search of his Ferrari and meets a Native American man who steals his wallet. Later, Violet who is being hounded by paparazzi, is rescued by the passing Skeeter. Just as he is about to kiss her, he is kicked by an angry dwarf from a nearby fraternity.

From this point, he determines that it is only the changes made by the children that actually affect reality. The following night, Skeeter tries to sell the kids on the theme ideas contest, but they are more interested in romance and action in their stories. The next story begins with Skeetacus, a Greek gladiator who, after impressing the emperor and a stadium of onlookers, attracts the attention of the "fairest maiden". He and the maiden walk into a restaurant where all the girls who were mean to him growing up are sitting at a table, they are to be so impressed by the maiden he is with, they start to nervously sing the "Hokey Pokey". After a meal they go for a walk on the beach where a large hairy man who is having trouble breathing is washed up on the shore, and after Skeetacus saves this man's life, a rainstorm sends him and the maiden into a magical cave which has Abraham Lincoln in it. Skeeter loses his patience with the story and upsets the children. Unable to get them to continue, the story ends.

The next day, Skeeter learns that Violet will not be meeting with him as he thought, but unexpectedly runs into Jill, who invites him to lunch. The girls from Skeeter's high school are at the restaurant, so Skeeter asks Jill to pretend to be his girlfriend. After the girls break into the "Hokey Pokey" and Skeeter casually saves the life of a man on the beach, a sudden rainstorm sends them under the dock and he realizes that he is falling in love with her. But the kiss he is about to receive is interrupted as he is reminded about the Abraham Lincoln part of the story as someone walks on the dock above them, and thinking that the real "Abe" is going to appear he ducks. Instead a penny falls through the dock.

For Skeeter and the kids' final night together, a space-themed story begins with Skeeter's character who battles Kendall's character in anti-gravity. Skeeter's hard-to-understand character wins and Skeeter quickly ends the story. Patrick interjects that the story is too predictable and says that Skeeter is then 'incinertated' before ending the story.

At Nottingham's birthday party, among the fiery hazards that Skeeter is trying to avoid, his tongue is stung by a bee, making him hard to understand when competing with Kendall's new Broadway-themed hotel. Nottingham enjoys Skeeter's approach over the showy approach that Kendall had provided. A panic attack on a fiery birthday cake causes Skeeter to be "fired" by Nottingham. Afterward Jill, Patrick, and Bobbi are all upset as they learned where, which Skeeter had just discovered, the hotel was going to be built: on the property of the school which they all work and attend. Wendy believes he did not know, but is upset because he had inadvertently taught the children there are no such things as happy endings. When they attend the demolition to protest, Skeeter is inspired to prevent the school from being demolished. After finding Nottingham an alternative location, Skeeter takes Jill on a wild motorcycle ride which ends at the school and manages to stop the countdown. Sometime later, he marries Jill and founds a hotel named after his late father. Kendall and his scheming partner Aspen (Lucy Lawless) are demoted to Skeeter's hotel waiting staff.

Going to have to put my foot down on DCEU. Yea they're incredibly divisive movies but they do have their fans plus Six Flags definitely owns the theme park rights to those characters and I doubt they'd give them up. We really want you guys to be challenged in making something out of a movie that's truly terrible and working with iconic characters like Batman and Superman would be giving you an advantage we don't want you to have.

In other words, if you want to do well in this round you're going to have to dig deep. ;)

Another option is using Howard the Duck at Uni and then using Mars Needs Moms.

Never seen either of them but they suck a lot apparently.

What about Chicken Little? That film is the most loathed of all of Disney's films, and it's widely considered the worst entry in the Disney Animated Canon.

Or, we could take The Black Cauldron and turn it into a Fantasyland-style dark ride. As despised at that film is, however, it managed it find a cult following.

Those were just my suggestions for the Disney ride. For Universal, well, we have a bumper crop of badness to go 'round. According to my research, 18 of their films were nominated for the "Worst Picture" Razzie. They are...

The Nude Bomb
Xanadu
Endless Love
The Legend of the Lone Ranger
The Lonely Lady
Jaws 3D
Stroker Ace
Howard the Duck
Jaws: The Revenge
Cool as Ice
Waterworld
Ed
The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas
The Cat in the Hat
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
Land of the Lost
Battleship
Fifty Shades of Grey
Waterworld already has representation via the stunt show at Universal Hollywood, and the Cat in the Hat technically is represented in the book-faithful dark ride at Islands of Adventure. But, I wonder...maybe we could do a parody of the dark ride, but with more Mike Myers?

Personally, the musical fan inside my being would love to see how Xanadu could be translated into a ride. Xanadu previously had success with a stage adaptation that gleefully mocked how campy the original film was.

But those are just my two cents. What do you guys think?

I had these EXACT ideas but didn't think anyone would go for them lol. I think Tiki wants us to go for the really bad ones though. I would love to do a Chicken Little attraction.

Battleship could be interesting to make.

Another thought (paging @S.P.E.W for the memes) The BEE MOVIE
