The House Cup: An Imagineering Competition - Discussion Thread

Question of the Day - June 10th 2016

What are some of your favorite Disney "easter eggs" in the parks? This can be anything from an extinct attraction reference, to a hidden mickey, anything!

One of my favorites has to be Mr. Toad in the Haunted Mansion.

And I also like the Paging Mr. Morrow, please contact Mr. Johnson in the control tower to confirm your Flight to the Moon on the Peoplemover.

Like that Rex from the original Star Tours ride is in the queue still saying some of his lines. I also love that the Droid birds from the original queue are now in cages.

When you get off of the journey of the little mermaid ride and you are going through the exit queue, there is a hidden steamboat mickey in the rocks and if you can see it correctly it's awesome.

Ah no way!

I know there's a reference to 20K Leagues Under the Sea if you walk into the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh tree out front of the queue. There's a carving of the Nautilus.

Also there should be one in the Little Mermaid Queue too.

Mr. Toad and Owl on The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh.

Mr. Toad and Owl on The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh.

Yes!

It's really funny because he's giving owl the deed to the "attraction"

After 10 grueling months of death by boredom, I'm finally on summer vacation!

Untill I realized my break is getting cut short two weeks since my district is starting two weeks early next year.

I found that while I was on break at work and laughed out loud. My co-workers gave me a few strange looks.

I don't think I've told @IAmNotAHufflepuff, @JokersWild, @Flippin'Flounder, or any of you idiots who say that putting Nintendo in an already existing UOR park would classify as unimagineering properly have I?

Easy there umbridge

What is your idea for the 3rd park?

I'm not playing Umbridge at the moment. And the answer is Nintendo. Also why are you asking me that? I know that placing Nintendo in IOA or USF would be theme park fault No. 6; contradicting the park/ hotel/ shopping and dining district/ water park's staple theme, but why did you have to ask?

I'm asking what aspects of Nintendo would you want to see in the 3rd park

Kong already for the most part ruined IOA's overlying theme, and I'm not bothered by it at all.

Besides, USO barely even has an overlying theme anymore.. If the goal is to "Ride the Movies", then why does the Simpsons have their own land? Why does Curious George get a back area of the park to himself?

 

[Flippin'Flounder]

Jurassic Park came first because it was he reason why we have Islands of Adventure; to go and adventure in worlds; or islands/ports based on mostly based on literature and exotic worlds. Now you may say that Donkey Kong has an exotic world his own, but his game is a spinoff of Mario and that making Nintendoland in IOA or USF would be the equivalent of building Tomorrowland in Hollywood Studios or Walt Disney Studios park. Also is "Ride The Movies" still Universal Studios parks' slogan. Also those are

I don't understand why your so big on making sure everything in IoA is literature-based. Universal obviously doesn't as 3 of the lands are based on movies.
