Ah, so it's original! Even better. We should probably recycle one of the existing facades with some modifications for realism points. I've been waiting to do a dark ride for a while now.

The onky problem with that (less with Omni, more with trackless) is that it is very hard for those to be a non-flat ride C-Ticket, unless we only used plywood cutoits and some Lm figures.

We could make the capacity of this ride akin to that of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride: plywood cutouts, not very high in terms of capacity but realistic in terms of limited space. A C Ticket is the way to go in my opinion, that is if we want to make this project stand out. Of course, if the rest of the group disagrees, we can go another route.

Just an FYI to clarify. We ahve to make one A, one B, and one C.

Yeah of course. This would be the C-Ticket, and I'd imagine the focal point of the project.

Absolutely. I would still be a bit concerned about doing a dark ride for the C, solely for the worry of getting carried away. When taking everything into account, the final post should consist of three parts C, two parts B, and one part A.

In that case, subtlety is our greatest ally here. I think Disneyland's Toad would be the ideal model here in that regard. Disneyland's Toad doesn't go overboard with the special effects, and yet it triumphs on its very simple premise of riding a motor car through the streets of London at night. We can have a simple underlying narrative with a simple conclusion and have it fit within the confines of the building. You're right about dividing the presentation into three simple, easy to follow parts.

I was thinking of the dark ride being sort of a trackless emv themed to Sherlock Holmes, with the emv Part used to simulate a little bouncy movement and speedups, and a marry poppins live show as an A ticket.

So, I also want to put this on the table, as it has always been a pet peeve of mine when is comes to MsUSA prompts. It is in the midwestern US, not London.

What do you think we should do?

Like I said earlier, Magic or Philar 2.0 for the C. Cinema Reborn for B and Vehicles, more streetmos, or Walt in Firehouse for A.
PS: I am really sorry if that last comment came off as harsh, and I am more than open to an apropriate Dark ride, but I personally would highly suggest against a London based dark ride, as the land has USA in the name, but if you all feel that a London ride is the way to go, I will gladly support this team.

No, you're definitely right. It doesn't really make too much sense to have a Sherlock Holmes ride in Main Street.

I would still opt for a Magic Mickey dark ride, as the presence of Mickey Mouse is already a reality today. If Disney is willing to put him in Main Street, I can't see why we can't and lose realism points in the process.

If we want to stick with the American side of things, how about a broadway style theater as an a ticket?

Alright, so if we do a C-Ticket dark ride in the Town Square Theater based on Mickey as a magician, I imagine we could do something along the lines of "Mickey the Magnificent" hosting a magic show, only for us to be swept backstage by an uncontrollable wave of his magic. The vehicles could be themed to magic caravans. The entire ride would be about 3 minutes. What do we think?

I think the A Ticket has to be smaller in scale. This would potentially work as a B Ticket.
Magic Feather

Sounds right on the money! The broadway theater would be hard to pull off, even as a C. We need to realize that back in the day, B's consisted of the cinema, Keel Boats, Swiss Family, etc, so lets think on that type of attraction. Also, A's consisted of MS Vehicles and the Carousel. Take that as you will.
Who is the Project Leader for this round?

I am willing, unless someone else wants to, in which case they are more than welcome.

PS- Shoot! We have about two and a half days left. Let's get concepts settled on tonight, then let's roll!
