I love the idea of having DCL dock in the park!! What a msgnificent experience that would be. You could drop off your luggage at an entrance area outside the park, and you get an included park morning with your cruise. It’s brilliant. The kinetics oh my goodness!
We did this for Disneyland Brasil concepts a few years back. Sywtbai season 2, iirc.
I actually thought about recommending the concept of making a competition where groups or individual imagineers come up with a DisneySEA style theme park but I thought you’d think that would’ve been a silly idea.Eek, for some reason the notifications to the TR thread stopped for meBack on now - that sounds like a fun project down the road! Maybe next year or so!
Why would I think that? That seems like a really interesting idea -- it would lend to some immersive lands and allow us to be as creative as possible
It would be a lot of fun for many of us! Obviously I'm on board. Would be a good project to tackle in the Club 32 style.
Totally agree!
I don’t know why but I got struck by anxiety.
That doesn't seem like you!
I know! Right!
No need - it's a very good idea!
You know, what’s makes you one of my favorite imagineers; besides your drawings and many of your ideas and sense of humor; is you’re very benevolent, honest, earnest, supportive, and caring.
If we’re going to incorporate the film Atlantis, we should make an attraction where guests can ride those scooters (it’s been a long time since I saw the film) we see the Atlanteans ride; maybe make them like the Tron coaster vehicles?
Agreed. They could even duel against Rourke's biplanes.
What if we reused the Fire Mountain concept that was never built for Disney World since that was supposed to be based around the movie?
I'm not very familiar with that concept, though I've heard the name.
If you have, then you’ve probably heard about Bald Mountain because both attractions were developed by two imagineering teams who coming up with a replacement for 20KL.
Probably. The idea for Fire Mountain did come out in the 90s, the same time that DisneySEA was being developed.
A volcano is pretty inevitable with lots of the Sea ideas, like Atlantis, Moana and Pirates (Shipwreck Island from the third one is in a caldera). It needs to be distinct from Mt. Prometheus though, like the big golden SpaceStation Earth they'd considered for WestCOT being distinct. Or the two US castles. (My feeling for Hong Kong is to actually reduce the scale from TDS to match that resort's personality.)
The Aquasphere could work. I also thought about a temple for the Congolese river area as well as a hall in the entry city similar to Fortress Explorations where it serves as a fictional meeting place where it unites all the S.E.A. members and acts as a showcase for artifacts from both Tokyo and Hong Kong’s DisneySEAs and could also house something special like a show or a dark ride.
Absolutely, yes! Each port will have an iconic weenie. For the Congo, shall we include something like King Solomon's Mines for a coaster? For ancient Greece's weenie, what about something like a toppled Colossus of Rhodes?
