The return of a Disneyland in Brazil - in a new location (open brainstorming)

[mharrington]

Also in Fantasyland is a copy of the venerable classic "Dumbo the Flying Elephant". It will feature the classic structure found in other versions out there, right down to a pool of fountain water underneath. I'm actually thinking of replicating this particular design of the ride for Tokyo Disneyland, which currently is the only version out there to still have only ten elephants! This one's will be in the style of all the other ones out there, like Shanghai in this case:

However, as a nod to history, the color scheme will be based on the Tokyo style (red, white and blue):

Like I said, though, it will NOT feature ten elephants.

Actually, there will be two Dumbo-based rides here, as this image below shows (which will be translated from Chinese and English into Portuguese):

Yes, the second ride will be a new version of the Casey Jr. ride, here known as "Casey Jr. - O Trem do Circo" (or "Casey Jr. - The Circus Train"). However, this particular version will be quite different, as it travels along an elevated track similar to the High In the Sky Seuss Trolley Ride (and for that matter, the PeopleMover):

However, the Casey Jr. ride will have some safety features, similar to the PeopleMover (for example, it will be fenced in for safety). The trains will traverse Fantasyland from up in the air, passing over the various attractions. Most exciting of all, rather like the trains going through Splash Mountain, Casey Jr. will similarly go through another mountainous structure, home to another water thrill ride (with the train providing a view)...

What do you think?

Great!
About Dumbo, please try a bolder blue, that used in Tokyo is way to pale...
I didn't like the fences on the CJ Train ride it'll cover the train appearance. I think lap bars like Seuss Trolley would be enough.

The problem with just lap bars alone is that it may not be enough to keep guests seated at all times. People do break the rules. Also, if the ride were to break down, there would have to be a way to walk the guests off. Without fencing, there is the risk that guests would fall.

 

[mharrington]

Having just seen the reopening of Dumbo in Disneyland, the entrance to the ride in Brazil will be in a similar design:

What do you think of that?

With Marvel maybe something with Black Panther, Thor, Spiderman, Antman or The Avengers.As for Star Wars is it going to be in Tomorrowland or DLB's version of Galaxy's Edge? The concept with Black Panther is incase Pandora: The World of Avatar can't be added to DLB.

Well, I don't really have much to say on the matter of Marvel in the park at the moment, although I was pondering replicating the Iron Man ride from Hong Kong for this park.

However, I noticed also that there are several "recruitment" posters for Marvel lands in various Disney parks throughout the world:

That's one park per continent, so perhaps there could be a Marvel land in Brazil, thus adding South America to the list of continents. I don't know much about these lands, however, so I can't really say right now. Perhaps, like the Haunted Mansion, that will be set aside for later.

I'm also not sure who I can put in the recruitment poster for Disneyland Curitiba. I thought of Black Panther, but it seems like he already is shown, albeit in the background on the Disneyland Resort poster with Spider-Man. I would really rather not duplicate any displayed characters here.

The only one I don't see is Doctor Strange, so maybe he can be on the poster for this park (which means a Doctor Strange ride, probably), but even so, who else can be displayed in the background? Because several of the best ones have been taken by the other parks.

Doctor Strange is actually in the Disneyland resort poster. The other Marvel characters that could be in the front of the Disneyland Curibita is either the Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America, Hulk or Captain Marvel.

Captain America is on the Hong Kong poster, the Hulk is on the Paris poster and some of the GOTG (including Groot and Gamora) are on the Disneyland California poster. So I guess that leaves Captain Marvel. Once again, a new ride should be done for that one, I think.

 

[Twilight_Roxas]

We would have to wait a year till Captain Marvel comes to theaters, With Captain Marvel Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Vision along with another Marvel hero could appear in the recruitment poster.

Hawkeye is on the Hong Kong poster.

 

[Twilight_Roxas]

So the ones left is Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Vision, and another Marvel hero.

I'm assuming you guys haven't been on the movies lately... Go with Cap Marvel

I have not. I'm just not that into Marvel. As such, it should be obvious that I'm not that on the up-and-up about how to do Marvel rides, either, short of cloning rides from other parks.

Moving on...

I'm thinking of also doing a Frozen area, not as its own land but as part of Fantasyland. Remember when I said that Casey Jr. would go through part of another ride? This is it: a version of Frozen Ever After:

At first, I thought of just doing a replica of the boat ride from Epcot, but after seeing how the new Frozen area coming to Hong Kong will likely have a roller coaster (look towards your right)...

...I thought of maybe doing it as a roller coaster, something like the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, maybe with sleighs as your ride vehicles. However, as with the Beauty and the Beast ride coming in, I'm a little hesitant to go too far in without knowing too much about what's happening. So right now, until the details come in on what's happening, I'm just going to keep it a version, some version, of Frozen Ever After, and that Casey Jr. will go through part of the ride, allowing those on the little circus a view of a scene in the ride.

 

[mharrington]

I'm pondering including a Toy Story land in the park, but I'm having difficulty decided to do it as its own land or as a subsection of Fantasyland. If it's its own land, then I'm thinking of calling it "Toyland". It's short and rolls off the tongue better than "Toy Story Land", I think, which seems too on the nose.

Anyway, what do you think? Should it be its own land or a subsection of Fantasyland?

 

[Twilight_Roxas]

I think its own land. How about Toy Town if that counts.

 

[mharrington]

I don't know about that. It sounds too much like Toontown.

 

[Twilight_Roxas]

There's also Toy Playground.

 

[mharrington]

There's also Toy Playground.

No, I think Toyland just rolls better.

 

[mharrington]

So then the other challenge becomes what to put in this land? Different versions of the land each have their own lineup of attractions:

PARIS AND HONG KONG:
-RC Racer
-Slinky Dog Spin (known as Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin in Paris)
-Toy Soldier Parachute Drop

SHANGHAI:
-Rex's Racers (basically RC Racer, but controlled by Rex somehow)
-Slinky Dog Spin
-Woody's Round-Up

ORLANDO:
-Alien Swirling Saucers
-Slinky Dog Dash (a kiddie coaster, not a spinning ride)
-Toy Story Midway Mania

So with that, I'm trying to come up with some ideas for this land. My main challenge is trying to keep this so it's not too similar to the one in Florida in particular, but I don't want to just replicate the other versions out there, either. It should be at least somewhat different.

And by the way, I think the one in Paris is not technically its own land, either, but a subsection of Toon Studios.
