Thanks for getting a start on that. Let's do it so that each genre has one person working on that section. I can also work on the queue, as well as the presentation.

Have we decided that we’re not included the guide aspect and just including a recording? I’d probably just want to have the narration be a recording.

I wouldn't. Honestly, I don't think we need any sort of narrator. Have we even discussed a ride system? Trackless would help for mobility, and immersion, which I think would make a narrator unnecessary. Really, this ride should be about immersing guests in the worlds of these books; not informing them and outright telling them what everything is. What I would picture for flow is that mythology would be single file, opening up into proper trackless in Fantasy; almost like a building anticipating until the world opens up into the more realized worlds of modern literature. It could also allow us to have different vignettes for different cars.

 

[Sharon&Susan]

I'll do the queue!

EDIT:
Looks like DashHaber chose it a few seconds before me, I'll have Fantasy instead then.

I can also work on leftover stuff if nobody else takes it, but I figured I’d leave some other ones open haha

 

[AceAstro]

Whoever does Romance: if you could end the scene with a slight Hunchback nod, I could open historical with Les Mis as a perfect transition to then end with Romance of The Three Kingdoms

I'm going to keep my name in for horror just because we still have a few openings, but if there's someone who doesn't have anything who wants it, let me know.

 

[NigelChanning]

Are multiple people working on different genres? I’ve heard different opinions and I’m not sure what was final.

I was going to get to that.

I do feel that we don't need a narrator. Instead of GMR's approach of just telling stuff, this should really be about transporting people into the magic of these worlds that they normally just see as text on a page. I feel like the queue and maybe the very beginning and end of the ride should have a character who is behind this journey into literature, but the sections and places should be able to speak for themselves.

 

[Sharon&Susan]

I'll take Adventure since my other two choices got picked. LOL

Added. We still have romance and technically horror left.

NO!

But seriously, I was thinking some sort of librarian figure, one who is perhaps a chronicler of all stories. One who knows the true power behind words.

 

[NigelChanning]

Ah, the tune that haunts my dreams.

 

[AceAstro]

Ah, the tune that haunts my dreams.

Have a tramtastic day!

I'm not going to lie, that movie has pretty much been running through my head since I saw this prompt go up.
