The Sorcerer's Apprentice Season 4: Homecoming Edition - Discussion Thread

@spacemt354 I got the answer to why there are safety cones on the Wonders of Life in Epcot. They are restoring the roof.

Huzzah! Probably prepping for Flower and Garden soon.

Imagineering Question of the Day!

Staying international Tokyo Disneyland is moving its a small world to another location, what Disney attraction do you think should be moved to another spot and why?

Journey into Imagination should be moved into Fantasyland or tomorrowland for the following reasons:
1. It would fit well
2. The easy to replicate building layouts would allow for figment to finally have a ride in other disney parks
3. Will allow disney to demolish the building and replace it with something interesting (canada log ride, inside out, a new thrill or dark ride etc.)

Speaking of imagination, I remember reading somewhere one of the plans for the 90s imagination was an indoor rollercoaster.
If you were to make imagination into a rollercoaster, how would you do it while still incorporating the dreamfinder and figment, as well as the charm of the original ride?

Peter Pan’s Flight, Mr Toad’s Wild Ride, and Mary Poppin’s Jolly Holiday (after Baxter’s never made attraction) as part of an England sub-land because of how close in proximity the old site for IASW was to Pooh’s Hunny Hunt and the Wonderland attractions; including the Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall.

Bonus alternative question:
Let's say you are an imagineer during the 90s and going to do the imagination institute ride concept. How would you make a good ride using this theme?

Set it as a sequel of sorts to the original. The Imagination Institute was started in tribute to the Dreamfinder and his work. Have his grandson/daughter be our new human lead. They're trying to study Imagination as a science. Figment, Dreamfinder's most famous discovery, comes in and takes us through rooms dedicated to movies, books, paintings, music, video games, etc. The scientist takes that to mean that Imagination is an art, not a science. Figment then takes us through a room themed to different sciences including the requisite space room. The scientist is confused. Is imagination and art or a science? Well, Figment explains it is neither! Imagination is the One Little Spark at the start of both art and science!

Keep the Dreamfinder connection subtle and mostly in the queue, but definitely there. The "art" portion of the ride will give plenty of room for parody and modern jokes to appease the sponsors and the youngins wanting it to be more hip. You get the Imagination Institute set up that I honestly think is rather neat and a good connection for Epcot. Plus, you get a figment more connected with the original version with a time jump between the two versions to explain any small changes in his personality.

It would have to be something similar to Mine Train (as in a coaster that has dark ride scenes) just so Dreamfinder and Figment have some scenes on-ride. It would be hard to appreciate them while whizzing past at high speeds

Atleast Fantasmic does have the back exit they can use to let guest out by the exit.

New idea. GUT/Demoloish the Peterpan building to increase walking space, and rebuild Peter Pan in the Small World building and move small world to epcot.

So what shall take PP’s place?

 

[Suchomimus]

Any questions?

 

[Suchomimus]

Happy Croissant Day to you and all your croissants everyone !

Nothing, the goal is to increase the walkspace so there is no more bottle neck.

Due to the size of that area, you could probably put a small flat ride in that area and the bottleneck would still be fixed while not losing an attraction!

Move or get rid of Phillarmagic next door and you could make one really nice attraction without taking up too much walking space. That could even be a good spot for an expanded Peter Pan ride.

To be honest, of all the names on that list, Cinemagine was definitely the best one. Still would rather Disney Hollywood Adventure I think

 

[Pi on my Cake]

Maybe Cinemagine Land? Or Cinemagine Kingdom? It needs something more than just that one word.

That name feels like a proposal for the one sentence competition done while half asleep 15 minutes after the prompt was posted because they got really excited. Then woke up the next day regretting the dumb name they chose and had to just shrug and accept not placing this round.
