These by chance?

No... I just found it after some Googling.

It's one of my childhood favorites, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.

They only mention H&H's in passing, so I don't know why that stuck with me.

I've...actually, read that book.

Ok, a note on Automats, they were popular in the 40s, but remained in operation around the world many decades beyond that (I ate at one in Germany as a kid, regularly, it serviced the local military base my Dad was stationed at, and I thought it was cool.).

Read through it, great concept for a restaurant, and quite unique!

Just asking? Was the base in Schwäbisch Hall?

"On the second level, will be a new sit-down restaurant named Théâtre de l'or: une expérience culinaire. This restaurant will serve french cuisine and have four rooms depicting with different areas depicting famous movies scenes. The new restaurant will serve a character breakfast, an amazing french lunch, a classic European "Tea Time" between 3-5, and most importantly, an elegant dinner."

Can I never say no to food?

This sounds great.

However, I'm not sure how it fits in with your ride...and based on what I've seen so far, I'm starting to wonder if your team got distracted by all the cool stuff it could do, and didn't spend enough time on the ride itself.

That being said, I'm not done yet, so...Reading on...

No. Wharton Barracks, Heilbronn.

No. Wharton Barracks, Heilbronn.

Oh, okay. Schwäbisch Hall was my mums base.

Ok, I'm not trying to be obtuse, but I'm really confused by the ridethrough for the Golden Theater...

Is this a ride?

Are there ride vehicles?

Is it a walkthrough?

How does the timing of the director make an impact?

I'm just...lost.

I really liked a lot of the descriptions and concepts, but it loses me in application. I can't "imagine" myself on this ride...

What am I missing?

The Golden Theater might not go with the gangsters but does go with Golden Hollywood so's there's that to consider and the main reason why it got in.

 

[englanddg]

Oh, I get it now, that's the RESTAURANT!

Her derp!

 

[englanddg]

No, no, I was thinking it was the ride, and was really confused. I get it now, it's rooms in the restaurant.

Sortof a Rainforest Cafe or T-Rex style, but with much better theme.

Quite cool!

It is a sit down restaurant. The director yelling Action is to make sure all scenes are happening in the same time frame and it is to make it like Rainforest Cafe.'

Edit: Just saw your post above mine.

As a restaurant experience, I think it sounds really neat! I just didn't understand what I was reading at first.

Still reading...I'm on the Studio Tram now.

On a trivial note the name Sunset Way is a tribute to my favorite place in my Home City(Miami) which is called Sunset Place and it is very nice and my second favorite place is adjacent to it.(Swenswen's)

"Notes: There will be translation cards for English and other languages.All Dialogue is in French except the safety spiel and people's names."

Nice touch.

You have a broken img link after the Oswald reference.

I'm sure JDM wouldn't mind if you fixed that.

 

[englanddg]

You have another broken link after Hollywoodland.

Same same.

"Syd English: Hey! My name’s Sydney but you can call me Syd. Keep ya’ll hands and feet in the jalopy if ya know what’s good for ya. Also all ya Rag-a-muffins don’t look at my Moll. Now Scram!"

That's fantastic!

 

[englanddg]

You are lucky I can read french (with the occasional lookup)...otherwise this script would mean nothing...
