TEAM SPACE BRAINSTORMING THREAD

[MickeyWaffleCo.]

Okay my votes are:
1. Under the Earth/Underground
2. Skies/Weather
3. Games

My votes ate:
1. Sky/Weather
2. Art
3. Geology/Earthy

Okay, right now I’m ranking the votes as follows:
First choice gets three points, second choice gets two points, and third place gets a single point. I like using this voting method because it lets us choose a theme that most people at least like, even if it wasn’t their first choice.

Skies/Weather: 5 points
Geology: 4 points
Art: 2 points
Games: 1 point

And after two people have voted, Weather takes an early lead! Geology looks to be close behind it, though! Will Geology pull ahead? Tune in next week to find out!

My vote:
1. Sky
2. Underground (a fake cave tour could be neat)
3. Art

update:
Skies/Weather: 8 points (although I think this is also Brer Panther and Solaris Knight’s top choice, too)
Geology: 6 points
Art: 3 points
Games: 1 point

If we go with Sky we could have a helix like tunnels that lead into a building? Those helixes represent like air streams? The paths/helix could be on an upward slope taking guests up into the sky pavilion?

This is a DNA (double helix) tunnel at the National Science Museum. Something like this?

Yea thats the concept I’ll see if I can draw it out in a quick sketch later.

But yea it could have air being blown through with hidden wind machines to experience the flow of wind currents blowing guests in or out of the pavilion depending on the tunnel taken

2020s

• Replacement of either History of Aviation Walkthrough & Theater Film or The Skies Above or both with an IP attraction
  • Possibly The Rocketeer?
• Parachute Drop Tower Outside?
• Rocketeer attraction?

An idea for a Rocketeer-style drop tower: have everyone in seats (with legs dangling), and everyone rises/falls together but then a platform moves everyone one way or another (as if the jet packs are switching direction). It wouldn’t have the normal fast ascends/drops as a normal drop tower, but maybe that would encourage younger kids to ride.

My vote is for weather

Do you have a second or third place vote as well? You don’t need to, but if you do we’ll take those into account.

 

[Solaris Knight]

If we’re doing Sky, you guys mind if we use my KUKA robocoaster idea from 1SC for the 2020’s section. I feel like a Kuka arm ride would be a great way to emulate flight.

That could be really cool system!

We could combine that with the Rocketeer for the seats could be “jetpacks”.

Skies/Weather: 11 points
Geology: 8 points
Art: 4 points
Games: 1 point

Taking @TheSquirrel ’s vote into account this becomes:
Skies/Weather: 14 points
Geology: 8 points
Art: 4 points
Games: 1 point

I think we’ll finish voting tonight. I think @Disney Dad 3000 , @Solaris Knight , and @b-wolf95 are the only ones who haven’t voted yet. If any of you want to vote, it’d be great if you could do it before tomorrow.

 

[Solaris Knight]

Skies is my choice too, but it's clearly the favorite to win anyway?

With Solaris’s vote of Sky and Sky alone it would make it mathematically impossible for anything else to win

I thought I’d leave voting open as there was still a chance Geology could beat Sky, but now there’s no chance of anything else winning

 

[MickeyWaffleCo.]

ALRIGHTY!​

We have officially chosen Weather/The Sky as our theme. We could place it on the West or East side of Future World, and we still need to decide on our basic attraction/shop/restaurant lineup. I know several people have already had some ideas for attractions and how they should change throughout time, so we can use those ideas as a jumping-off point.

I dont think my vote is going to be enough to change what's in first. To me skies and weather seem like 2 different things that could be a theme for a pavilion but that's just me.

I thought about that too. The way I look at it, we’re not focusing on the skies in the same way as, say, DisneySky. More on weather and climate, the water cycle and clouds and such.

We should replace the Living Seas with the Weather/Sky pavilion as it's the easiest space to work in and the Land and Sky have the same yin yang as the Land and Sea.

Weather/Sky Pavilion (The World Above Pavilion?) presented by Delta Airlines?

Bringing back out the ideas I listed out earlier:

80's
An opening 1987 for Epcot's 5th Anniversary? Replacing Living Seas?

• Take Flight (If You Had Wings successor)
  • Magic Kingdom ride closes to be a Tron omnimover freeing up that concept for
  • Aerial dark ride over some major destinations that Delta flew too at the time, ride system offers diversity to park lineup
  • Ride vehicles are Hot Air Balloons?
• The Sky was the Limit: A History of Aviation
  • History of Aviation Walkthrough & Theater Film
• Forecast Follies
  • Weather based animatronic show ala Kitchen Cabaret, Carousel of Progress, etc.
• Walt Disney's Airplane
  • We could have it displayed within the pavilion given MGM had yet to open so it wasn't in the Backlot Tour.
• Tastemoshphere
  • Quick service spot that will definitely have food better than airplane food
  • Mashup of Taste and Atmosphere
• Runway Gifts
  • Pavilion giftshop

1996

• Ludwig Von Drake presents The Sky was the Limit: A History of Aviation

2000

• Forecast Follies 2.0
  • Hipper version of the show ala Food Rocks!

2004/5

• Take Flight closes
  • Soarin replaces it
• Delta Airlines pulls out at the end of 2005

2020s
This summarizes everything someone has suggested for the postion

• Replacement of either History of Aviation Walkthrough & Theater Film or The Skies Above or both with an IP attraction
  • Possibly The Rocketeer?
• Parachute Drop Tower Outside?
• Rocketeer attraction?
  • Drop Tower with leaning from @ThemeParkPriest
• KUKA Arm Coaster from @Solaris Knight
