What about a Rick and Morty Haunted Mansion? Actually, Anatomy Park could prove to be a hilarious miniland now that I think about it.

So yeah, sorry I've been busy the past couple of days. I'm off work tomorrow though, so I'm ready to start. :D

Looking at mickeyfan's list of cartoons to use, and I'm seeing some possibilities of shared areas. You could have a city for stuff like Gargoyles, Hey Arnold, Powerpuff Girls; a woodsy area for Gravity Falls, Chip and Dale... a neighborhood area would probably be the largest by virtue of the fact that most of the shows take place in neighborhoods. Maybe an "older" style housing development for the Disney Afternoon, 1990s Nick/Cartoon Network stuff with more period appropriate buildings vs. a "newer" development for the modern stuff. And of course we'd have to take into consideration areas for less traditional shows like Adventure Time or Spongebob (or what would we use for something like Animaniacs or Ren and Stimpy?).

The crossover element should be a lot of fun. Off the top of my head I'm thinking maybe something about Dexter trying to show off his latest invention, but he gets interrupted by Jimmy Neutron or Phineas and Ferb trying to show off their inventions? Or a Gravity Falls/Courage crossover.

I agree with basically everything here. And I still really think that we should be focusing on crossover potential, as you mentioned.

There are a few things with this land that I ABSOLUTELY want to do.
.a Brak restaurant - If you've never seen Brak before, please look him up. I've run it by the judges and we can use Brak and ANYTHING Adult Swim.
.A Rick and Morty ride - Perhaps as the Haunted Mansion/ ToT ride, as Mickeyfan mentioned. We could go A LOT of places with this, especially if we crossover.
.Ren and Stimpy Ride - Pretty big fan of Ren and Stimpy. We could take this in A LOT of directions. Could definitely make for a great fast dark ride.

Past that, I'm really thinking that we should use the adult themes present in modern animation to our advantage. We can totally look at Disney Afternoon and the like, but I think that we might benefit more by using Adult Swim, and more adult-oriented IPs. It would certainly differentiate us from the other teams.

Aside from what I've mentioned above, I think that Steven Universe, Adventure Time, and Gravity Falls are totally things we could look into as well. I like the idea of Animaniacs, but I know that one of the other teams has already started working on something involving them, and I think that it might be better to stray away from them for that reason. However, if we want to look at something similar that I know the other teams haven't even touched or thought of...


Edit: I would look into Samurai Jack, and Archer as well.

So, I don't mean to be that guy, but we really need to get going on this. We have a week to do this, and we've just had to scrap anything. I've posted a bunch of ideas above, as have a few others. Let's really solidify this so we can get to work. I'm still doing a bit of research (mainly on Adult Swim) and will be back with a list of a few more options (including what I mentioned yesterday) and what a few other people have mentioned just so we have it in one place for simplicity's sake.

We also need to decide on a team leader. I'd be ok with taking it if none of you want it, but we should probably figure that out as soon as possible.

I'm also thinking that Cartoon Planet might be a cool name for our land. It's a reference to an old programming block on Cartoon Network, which would work not only for nostalgia's sake, but would also modernize our land and set us apart a bit more from the ToonTowns.

Sounds good, and I second the vote for leader.

I third the vote. Do you think we should decide the number of attractions beforehand and work from there, or keep brainstorming and pick which ones we like the best?

So, I think that I'm going to separate this by property. Here's a list of what we have mentioned so far, as well as a few other things I've thought of today:

Adult Swim
.Rick and Morty - Haunted Mansion equivalent? ToT? A LOT of crossover potential
.Venture Bros - Another Haunted Mansion equivalent. Or even it's own attraction, honestly. This could go in a lot of directions
.Brak/ Cartoon Planet - Restaurant with Brak and Zorak taking a Sonny Eclipse-type role. Cartoons can be played around the dining rooms. Great comedic potential.
.Space Ghost Coast to Coast Show - Literally off the top of my head. I just think that it could be interesting.
.Harvey Birdman - I dunno. It'd give us an excuse to use Hanna-Barbera characters at the very least

Cartoon Network
.Courage the Cowardly Dog - Haunted Mansion equivalent?
.Powerpuff Girls - Just saw it mentioned. Could be a cool coaster.
.Samurai Jack - Could be an interesting dark ride coaster as well.
.Over the Garden Wall - I want this badly. Could be a spectacular boat ride.

Nick
.Ren and Stimpy - Could be an amazing fast-paced dark ride. Crossover potential, to an extent
.Spongebob - I'd rather not rehash one of BasketBuddy's old projects, but there are a lot of places this could go.
.Fairly Odd Parents - Throwing things at the wall. A LOT of possibilities
.Danny Phantom - Coaster? Like Powerpuff Girls?

Disney
.Gravity Falls - No idea. Might be obvious. Could be cool Rick and Morty crossover.

Warner Bros.
.Freakazoid - Zero idea. Suggesting it solely for the brownie points from the judges :p
.Anamaniacs - Incredible potential. The problem is that literally everyone on this team has done it before, and other teams are talking about it already.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's what I have right now. I'm sure I missed a few things, and I'm sure that there are a ton of other things that we haven't even touched on (like Disney.) I still think that it would be a great idea for us to play up the more adult-oriented themes and shows as it would really set us apart, and allow us to kind of make fun of the ToonTown concept as a whole. A lot of these concepts also lend themselves rather well to an urban setting, as we were talking about yesterday. And, as we've mentioned, crossover potential should absolutely play a big part into the design as well. We can make this incredible, especially with us sort of being forced to think differently about this project from the other teams.

What I'm picturing right now is an Adult Swim subland in the middle of the rest of our land, which would feature more family-friendly shows and characters. Adult Swim could be the densly urban area, with the more family-friendly shows being in a more suburban area. Then perhaps a woody area to account for IPs like Over the Garden Wall, and Gravity Falls, should we use them.


Does anyone else have any other ideas? I'm super excited by how this could turn out.

I'm liking the Adult Swim "city" idea flanked by a more family-friendly "suburbs". Perhaps we could use Diagon Alley at Universal as a jumping off point for our ideas there, with different twisting and turning streets as you get farther into the city (including some indoor parts, like the Knockturn Alley area at USF). Perhaps each street with a different "concept", be it science fiction or slice-of-life comedy.

With the suburbs, the easiest jumping off point would of course be the actual Toontown at Disneyland, but I'm thinking something larger and less spread-out. Same deal with the city, each street could have a different unifying theme to it.

I agree with everything. Using Diagon Alley as a jumping point for the Adult Swim area is an incredible idea. We could make this look like a super dense city with that type of design. And it would allow us to look at a lot of other IPs as well. Archer and the like could fit perfectly here as well, if we want to go down that road. I also really like having indoor areas. Perhaps a walkthrough or two could help flesh this out as well.

Also agree with the suburbs. We can take this in literally any direction. The question is which direction, I suppose.

Some random ideas:

-A Bob's Burgers restaurant in the adult section
-Spongebob Submarine Voyage?
-EMV ride for Venture Brothers or Rick and Morty

I think by the nature of it most of the thrill rides would have to go in the city and dark rides in the suburbs.

EDIT: JokersWild already suggested the Scrooge McDuck Tower of Terror idea. I really like it, and the bank vault could certainly be a striking and iconic symbol for the area in the way that the ToT is in real life.

Jesus I totally forgot that we could use Ducktales. We should totally do this.
