Here's a quick rundown of The next section of the park, it's not nearly as descriptive as the last mostly because it's late and I'm trying to squeeze this in before bed and work hehe.
We now take a look at
The Animation Boardwalk. An area themed to some of the most fanciful seaside amusement parks in the world. Don't let the quaint setting fool you though, some of the park's most elaborate attractions are hidden behind what looks at first to be a Paradise Pier knock-off.
First off we look at the building right at the entrance, the one with the giant Sorcerer Mickey hat.
The Walt Disney Animation Archive - We are all invited to a tour of the Walt Disney Studios' archive library which has been legendarily dubbed "The Disney Vault". As we go in we are treated to what seems to be a routine tour of the animation process but it looks like our de-facto tour guide, an animator on his first day, is feeling a little too curious for the big bosses. So much so that he unwittingly unlocks the legendary vault and inside we see... a paint brush? It's a little odd at first but once the animator touches it something incredible happens and we are all transported to the world that brought us all the animated features that Disney created. We end up actually living the history of Disney Animation from the black and white silent era (a portion of the ride will be completely quiet and in black and white even the guests, to the point that it almost feels like the ride is broken, this ends when the animator uses the paintbrush to advance the animation, adding sound, color, music and so on..) through to the memorable characters and worlds of classic Disney features.
This is going to be a massive dark ride. A 21st Century version of the Great Movie ride but with Disney Animated movies where we literally experience the making of and the history of Disney Animated canon.
Animator's Palette - The land's premiere restaurant is a park version of the famous Disney Cruise Line restaurant wherein the walls and dining rooms slowly turn from being blank sheet of paper white to colored, beautifully animated works of art.
Roger Rabbit in Coaster Rabbit - snaking its way around the land (and having the Earful Tower around one if its Helix') is this classic roller coaster based off of the Roger Rabbit short.
Toy Story Midway Mania - The attraction will be moved here featuring the ride building from the DisneySea version.
Cars and Planes Carousel - A double decker carousel where guests will ride characters from both the Cars and Planes movies. I though about having an expanded version of this turning it into Autopia but with Cars road tripping through california but the logistics of it would be tough given the space issues. Also, I didn't want there to be too much of an e-ticket overload as the next attraction will almost be equally complex if not even moreso than the Disney Vault ride.
Wreck-It Ralph's Game Central Arcade - A financially dying arcade is looking to drum up new business by promoting a brand-new state-of-the-art video game that will make all others obsolete. What we don't know is that the new game is actually every game as it is a device that teleports us into the games of the arcades so that we live it ourselves. The problem is, the only way out is to earn a gold medal, otherwise we'll be trapped in this world forever. Wreck-It Ralph knows this feeling all to well and it's up to him, Vanelope and all their friends to help see us through this massive challenge.
This ride will combine the trackless ride system of Hunny Hunt as well as Test Track and Midway Mania. Basically we're going to be travelling through the different video games from the movie and with each game, the ride mechanism changes and gives us a completely different experience. We start off like a traditional dark ride in the older Wreck-It Ralph game where the nicelanders mistake us as glitches. Ralph decides to help us escape and we end up in Hero's Duty where our ride vehicles are fashioned with blasters to help us fight the cybugs unfortunately we are quickly overpowered but before you know it we get teleported out to Sugar Rush by Vanellope Von Schweets who uses her glitch power to save us from the cybugs. Our ride vehicles then get merged with other vehicles and turned into Sugar Rush racecars. Vanellope tells us that we're just a point away from our medal and that all we have to do is finish a race through the land.
Game Central Arcade itself will actually be more of a pavillion than a solitary ride as located within is also a real arcade except the video games are games from the movie as well. There will also be a hidden easter egg in all the consoles. I'll explain later when I give a complete description of the attraction.
