The House of the Future - Week 10

[DashHaber]

Seriously though Shambhla would be neat, but I also think Shangri-La has some real potential as our Asian representation

Good point. We could actually cover a more diverse Asian representation with Shangri-La.

Remember when mickeyfan picked spacemt 1st on his fantasy team and then spacemt promptly dropped out of the game? Good times.

That was my first thought too... but then I found Shangri-La was actually created by a British author. Shambala inspired Shangri-La and was created by Buddhists as a mythical city in Tibet. So of the two, I think Shambala is the better name (although tbh, they would nearly the same regardless of what name we choose).

I just want to clarify that I'm making a conscious effort to not watch the contestants as that is an invasion of their privacy and their inalienable rights. Carry on.

And by Shangri-La I mean Shangri-LAME because it's lame like all you goodie-two-shoes. Who even goes to Disney amiright? Like, Six Flags is where it's at! Carnival Cruise Line ftw

Alright losers! Evil PerGron here and I say it's time to start building the best park ever... NOT!

Who cares about LOST WORLDS more like LOSER WORLDS amiright?

Le'ts make the new land something COOL and RADICAL like a skate park or a dark alley!

I just wanted to echo this to throw out a few more land ideas that would really help your park:
.Convenience Store Parking Lot
.Underpass
.The shipping bay behind a Target
.A basement grungecore concert that smells like weed and the febreeze used to desperately hide the smell of weed.

Not to push your brainstorming.

I may be evil, but I am NOT about colonization and appropriating the mythologies of native peoples through a western lens. That's Totally Unradical. We could totally take from Shangri-La as a bit of inspiration, but Shambala should be our focus with more Tibetan myth and legend than the British Shangri-La

But we’ve already done all these!

So yeah, this may be the quickest we've all gotten on the same page if we want to do Shambhala

Probably.

Count me in for Shambhala.

I don’t know a lot about Shambhala but if the team wants it, I’m all for it!

 

[PerGron]

It'll be fun because we get to play with height, building mountains and whatnot.

Plus, restaurants and shops can be more East-Asian inspired. My only worry is what will our attractions look like. It's only day one, so let's just throw them out and see what sticks

 

[AceAstro]

I think anyone who votes for something except Shambhala is a Sham-bhala (I'm so sorry)

Count me in!

 

[NigelChanning]

Here’s an idea for an attraction!

So, do y’all know about the third planned attraction for SW: GE? An attraction where guests can ride on an audio animatronic Bantha?

Maybe a ride where guests ride Elephants through Shambhala?

I love the idea but I am not sure the practicality. There’s a reason that ride never made the final product.

This land would have to be absolutely MASSIVE otherwise it’s 15 steps and the attractions over. The capacity on it would also be overwhelmingly low.

True. A little research might be needed.

Perhaps some sort of attraction tied to the idea of a temple, maybe where our willpower is being tested.

 

[PerGron]

I think that we should take a little emphasis from what we were discussing earlier and have this park be a bit more thrill-focused, while still bringing that Disney-level quality to it. I think a coaster or two would really be great here
