Right, forgot to edit that the "drop" was being dropped from the ride lol. So, no "drop" in the ride, just bursting out of the Baloney set. I'll edit that real quick.
100 percent adding that in to lol

@montydysquith-navarro just so you’re aware of the edit for the pre-show!
@Pi on my Cake I can start the attraction write up itself today. Any key things you think we should go through? I definitely want to highlight at least something from the backlot tour so that they can see the parallels between the two attractions

I'm just doing the queue and ride system/vehicle!

I'll admit, I don't know a ton about USH since I've never been there. A Tram Tour shout out could be cool. Maybe Jurassic Park reference, that's on the Lower Lot, right? Steven Spielberg made both Animaniacs and Jurassic Park, might lead to a fun Easter egg.
Any particular parts of the ride through you want to do/not do?
My bad! I'll fix that. I can take the pre-show if no one else wants to

For the Snooty Director, I'm gonna suggest the name Ron Tueger.
The creator of Animaniacs head writer for most of the shows in that block was Tom Ruegger. So, Ron Tueger would be the opposite of him. Plus, it is a nice simple name.
Open to any other ideas though

If you still want to do writing I can do the first half with the transition into the lower lot/ rooms of the backlot if you want to do the finale. I don’t really have any ideas for that right now

@gam3rprincess that leaves the intro and wrap up and the facade (unless @montydysquith-navarro wanted to do that with the queue or @AceAstro wanted to do that while describing how it fits into the park) if you want to do any of that. I'm also totally cool if you want to take over the pre-show or the third act. And we could use as much art as we can get. I also remember you performing a song before back in Sorcerer's Apprentice if you wanna try something more out there.

I have no idea, but quick snappy dialogue like that can be ok if it isn't incredibly timeless with every line

Not to take over the ride vehicle or anything but @montydysquith-navarro I was curious what you were thinking. Families are getting bigger (numbers-wise) so ride vehicles for dark rides are becoming tricky.

Location in the park
The Animaniacs show building will be put where the Animal Actors Stage Show is now. While it has been a great show for Universal Studios Hollywood for many years, it is arguably the least popular of the three shows among crowds.
By using the area of the stage and theatre (as well as slightly expanding backstage and closer towards the walkway), the total area we have here is about 0.60 acres; plenty of space for a dark ride.

Here is a quick outline to get initial thoughts before I go heavy into writing.
Act 1: Explore the set for Baloney the movie and have some gags of the Warners messing with the director and Baloney. They are adding chaos and fun to a relatively grounded studio/world. It ends with them bursting out of the Baloney Movie soundstage and out to the rest of the studio. (I picture this scene is mostly practical sets)
Here guests see famous Universal props such as the moon from ET on the wall, Frankenstein walking around, and [TO FILL IN].
At some point going through the soundstage, the carts get stopped by an AA Baloney.
Baloney: "We can't have anything too crazy in the movie! You might scare the kids!"
Yakko: "Scare the kids? That's a great idea!"
Out comes any of the cats from CATS.
Wakko (looks at golf cart): “We wanted to scare, not traumatize!”
Act 2: The burst out of the Baloney set transitions us from a mostly grounded world to a more over the top world that serves as a parody of Universal and a Movie Studio with Animaniacs style wit. This particular section is more focused on the wacky world than on the Animaniacs themselves. (Starts off practical but will switch to screens)
The scene starts with driving in on Morgan Freeman taking a bubble bath.
Next guests drive past Arnold filming Terminator 53 using a walker made of shotguns
Terminator: "I'll be Back Back"
Dot: "Unfortunately"
(Transition to screens)
Guests golf carts will drive into one of four soundstages (allows for higher ride capacity if split at the end).
Depending on which soundstage they drive into, they will get a different scene:

- Jaws
- Kong
- Earthquake?
- Jurassic Park
(Will fill those details out later. Not sure about the last two but I don’t just want a full re-telling of the backlot tour.)
Guests are kicked out of these areas by the directors shortly after and head towards the finale.
