Flat ride for Joker and Lex Luthor?

I would go with side villains for those flatrides honestly. Keep the big villains within the e-tickets. Braniac, or Mr. Freeze. Villains like that who wouldn't necessarily show up in a big e-ticket.

I‘m still thinking about JSA haha... like JSA and Flash E-Tickets, Lantern coaster... villains as flat rides could be cool... I just don’t know if JSA would be as popular as JL

I just worry about JSA not being recognizable enough. Barely anyone knows Hawkman, and people especially don't know Sandman or Doctor Fate. At least with Justice League we can get all the big boys in there that everyone knows. And we could very easily have JSA references since Justice League is pretty encompassing anyway.

Seuss Landing could be an Animal Crossing land.

Haha that’s a fun idea but I wonder if that’s too knee jerk to its current popularity?

Yeah you’re probably right about that... I think the only way to sell it would be centering on flash and green lantern primarily anyways

Also I love the idea of lesser known villains getting flat rides, as long as it’s not coming across as placed there to eat crowds, which is sorta tough to do in world building... what kind of land style are you thinking overall for this? Almost like an Avengers Campus JL type sprawl with different heroes featured?

Re-use the old Kongfrontation animatronics and make the villain Gorrila Grodd lol!

 

[JokersWild]

I want to be mainstream but not over the top obvious... I live in Texas and this is really reminding me of Six Flags in San Antonio and Dallas lol

Oh we're definitely on the same page. But we would still have to have characters that are recognizable by the general public.

I think that the big difference between us and Six Flags would be the theming and the scale of the attractions. While Six Flags has a shooting ride, we should be focusing more on immersion and experience. Of course, there would be overlap, but focusing on encompassing experience would really set us over the top.

It’d be interesting, thinking about a Batman dark ride, to really highlight his detective skills... almost like a combination of a Ride and Go Seek to the next level and a more exciting attraction if that makes sense? Like focus on his detective stuff, but still include the villain sequences and action

That would be amazing hahaha

Kongfrontation animatronics no, but I think that Grodd is a fantastic idea for the focal point of an attractions. Having an animatronic could be super cool.

My initial thought was to have Gotham City and Metropolis, almost like sublands. We could also do the Watchtower or the Hall of Justice, but the former might be difficult to convey as a land.

Maybe you can be part of the Gotham City Police Department. You’re trying to track down someone like the Riddler or Joker and come across Batman

Absolutely. Maybe a trackless action ride that has different scenes that are decided by guest input/ success during interactive segments. I'd still like to keep a Batman ride fast, but giving it multiple ridepaths could give the ride really great rerideability.,

Maybe Gotham and Hall of Justice? Just because I don’t think we’re going to feature Superman?
Also, yes, I like the idea of a Grodd and a villain like Mister Freeze or someone like that having flat rides.

That’s an interesting idea for sure...

That would be really cool if we could make it almost like a trackless Smugglers Run where input affects outcome

 

[NigelChanning]

Maybe a Mr. Freeze ride where you glide across ice in a Junkyard Jamboree type ride like Freeze Ray Sliders in Japan.

And a Yellow Lantern ring teacup attraction?

 

[Sharon&Susan]

A Riddler Escape room would fit great with that character.

A) I think that map is from before they decided to put Mario in Epic Universe

B) I LOVE Mother, and would absolutely adore giving it a land, but I worry about people knowing what it is. Metroid could be super cool. I was thinking about giving IoA a sci-fi land, but I couldn't think of any properties that would be good. Even Star Fox could work really well.

Two rounds ago, I really wanted to do a choose your ending type of thing. Star Fox would honestly be a great fit for something like this, but more determined on your skill than what I was proposing a few rounds ago. So an even more interactive ve

That would be fantastic. So, half of the land is indoors with the Hall of Justice (we'll just pretend that it's in Gotham ) with the other half being Gotham. Hall of Justice could let us go literally anywhere within the DC universe so that would definitely help with secondary settings.

Perfect!

A Riddler Escape room would fit great with that character.

That would be such an awesome theme park experience... make it sorta like Savi’s where you make your reservation or whatever, but that would be unprecedented from what I can remember

That’s a cool idea for a Mr Freeze attraction! And Yellow Lanterns would be awesome, but if we already are doing a Green lantern coaster, it might make more sense to bring in different groups of characters?

 

[JokersWild]

Exactly. Highly interactive. Different ride paths. Different villains/ characters. Could be amazing.

I was thinking about Captain Cold/ Mr. Freeze as well. Hell, we could even have villain team ups for an attraction or two. Thats always one of the best parts of the comics. Yellow Lanterns I wouldn't do just because of the Green Lantern dueling coaster. My initial thought was a Green Lantern vs. Sinestro Corps. coaster.

Riddler escape room would be amazing, especially if we theme it a bit darkly. Maybe use Arkham as an inspiration and have it be a bit SAW-inspired.
