I think it's great to have an assortment of different movies all in one attraction. Kinda like Philharmagic does, but in ride form. You could even sprinkle in movies that probably won't get their own attraction.
Yeah. It would also utilize screens more. Also good for certain movie moments. Oooh or imagine soarin over the movies. Like some kind of soarin philharmagic

Yeah, you've got some good ones.

There's so many options for the Soarin attraction. Because there are so many Disney characters that can fly. Picture being on a hang glider and soarin with Peter Pan, Dumbo, Mary Poppins, Aladdin and Jasmine, The Rescuers and more.
That reminds me of this doofenshmirtz hosted star tours replacement i made in sdytbai a while back. basically doofenshmirtz would take guests to different cartoon worlds and stuff, using him as a gateway for other shows

It’s probably easy to think that the philharmagic show building isn’t that big, it’s a theater show, not a dark ride. But that’s exactly where your wrong, you see, it’s actually bigger than the largest traditional style dark ride at the magic kingdom currently- the many adventures of Winnie the pooh.

This is very large for a show building, and even could fit a ride the size of the little mermaid, albeit one more similar to Winnie the Pooh would be a more comfortable fit. That’s all, feel free to share ideas about what you’d put in this space
How did you determine the size of the two buildings?

I used a google maps area calculator, along with some fairly accurate blueprints of the rides done by the talented enfilm on flickr. Not sure how he does it so well but it is accurate and a helpful tool to understand the space one has to work with. also overlaying the blueprints onto google earth pro with the image overlay tool

Heck, you could even fit in a mystic manor sized trackless dark ride in there. Albeit it would be less comfortable of a fit than a normal tracked dark ride but you could. Mystic manor is actually quite small, around half the size of haunted mansion in area.

No more trackless dark rides, please. The novelty has worn off and they're not making very good use of the technology nowadays.

I am so, so tired of dark rides just parking the vehicle in front of a giant screen.

Like i said, a traditional tracked ddark ride would be a far comfier fit for the building
