I can't even imagine how terrifyingly uncomfortable a real human face projected on a cardboard cut out character from this would be lol. Utterly unsettling in a very fitting fashion hahaIn an alternate universe, Superstar Limo still exists, and beginning today Disney has begun...
The Search For Superstars
To promote a slowly dying awful ride experience, Disney has jumpstarted their campaign for Superstar Limo! Post a selfie with any funny, sad, happy, etc. face and include the hashtag #DisneySearchForSuperstars for the chance to have your face projected onto the cardboard cutout audiences that surround the superstars; while you're not a superstar... you'll be a superstar audience member!
Sidenote: phew I'm a bit rusty from these prompts or any competition but I gave this a shot
The only way this could be more perfect as an early 2000s marketing contest is if you got the entry for from Danimals drinkable yogurt bottle tops lolSuperstar Limo Sweepstakes
To commemorate the grand opening of DCA and sure to be hit attraction Superstar Limo, guests can fill out a contest forum either mailed or online to get a Hollywood welcome to the park. Winners get a vip stay at the Disneyland Hotel, additional park staying hours, a reservation to three dining locations (one for Disneyland, one for Downtown Disney, and one for DCA), and a limo ride to the park on opening day, letting the lucky winners be some of the first guests welcomed in!
this was the most early 00s viral marketing I could think of
Shoot, someone already made the Danimals joke!This is like one of those Disney Channel Danimals sweepstakes where you got to go somewhere with the Sprouse twins from Suite Life of Zack and Cody if you purchased enough yogurt containers
This perfectly fits the tone of Journey into Your Imagination while being a bit tongue in cheek making fun of it for fans of the original. I could see this being a really fun campaign!
Unconventional ending aside, this is a really cute idea. It would really depend on the execution of it whether this is cringy and horrible like Baby Nut (His official name, I kid you not). Or instantly beloved like Baby Yoda. I'd definitely be game to check it out though!
This is probably the most realistic marketting campaign. Maybe not as fun, goofy, and exciting as some of the other projects. But this has such a grounded quality to it that it feels almost more like you're just describing something that actually happened!Ride The Future, Today!
In a series of react videos, random members of the public (by random I mean preselected), ranging from experienced amateur stunt drivers to the suburban mom and her kids, will be able to test drive the fastest roadworthy vehicle in Tomorrowland, the Rocket Rods, on an actual racetrack against other vehicles to showcase the vehicle's futuristic design and overall superiority against the typical everyday vehicle. These videos will then be shown in a special "New Tomorrowland" segment on The Disney Afternoon block and get voted on by the public; whoever gets the highest number of votes wins a free stay at the Disneyland Hotel and front-row tickets to the rededication of Tomorrowland, as well as being the first guests aboard the newest and hottest attraction in Tomorrowland, the Rocket Rods!
I kinda love the idea of this campaign unironically. If Disney committed full out to doing a meta ad campaing for their most meta land it could be actually amazing! Of course, if the execution is similar to the execution of the land instead of seeming clever and meta it will just seem cheap. But if they pull this off it could be actually amazing!
The Disney in Your Home Extravaganza
Hey you like Disney, right...well how would you like a Disney attraction in your own home? Simply put on your headphones, click a link and you will be transported to not the snowy peak of Mt. Everest, not the 999 Happy Haunts of The Haunted Mansion, but instead even better, the theater of Sounds Dangerous with Drew Carey, for the same experience you would have gotten if you paid for park admission, you can't beat this campaign!
Disney+ should be seriously working on using that service as a way to make at home versions of experiences from the parks and to preserve lost rides. Maybe even work on a professionally done version of Defunctland's VR park. Sounds Dangerous might not be where I'd start, but it would be the easiest to recreate at home (Granted, that's because it is so lame to do in park). This works as a joke prompt, but honestly if it was a part of a larger campaign I would fully support it!
A random drawing based on who watches what on Disney+ is actually a really interesting idea for a campaign! Tie it to them needing to take some publicity shots with a ride that is in desperate need of whatever good press it can get works too. My only real issue is that you say the ride isn't terrifying, every kid I've ever seen ride it would strongly disagree lol
Sometimes leaning into a fully unrealistic project can be a lot of fun! This is definitely an example of that. Though while the writing is very funny the actual ad campaign is a bit too simple. All it seems to be is a guy in front of a camera talking. If you're going to lean into being goofy, go all out!
This works really well as a more realistic approach. This could be a very strong marketing campaign. And with F9 releasing later this year it would be good timing to advertise post-covid parks too. It's a really great idea for synergy and all.Supercharged Sweepstakes
In order to drum up some positive buzz after the negative reaction to Fast & Furious: Supercharged and take advantage of the hype train for the next Fast & Furious movie, Universal Orlando is launching the Supercharged Sweepstakes, where all it takes to enter is a social media picture of you and your "family" (whether your actual family, your friends, or even your coworkers) in front of a car with #IHaveFamily. The selected winners will receive a free three-day admission to Universal Orlando, VIP arrangements at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, and a special premiere screening of the brand new Fast & Furious film F9 with the movie's stars.
First off just to get it out of the way, capitalizing every word makes it a little tough to read.DinoLand USA X McDonald’s Jurassic Sweepstakes
View attachment 523089
This New Campaign Is Not Only A Classic Example Of Disney & McDonald’s Trying To Get People Invested In Corporate Executive‘s Trying So Desperately To Get You To Remember Your Childhood & For You To Get Your Children Hooked While Their Young, Along With Getting People & Their Kids To Eat Greasy & Unhealthy Food Sold By A Living Box (& Previously A Clown); But These New Sweepstakes Will Also Be Served With A Side Of History, As This Promotion Not Only Harkens Back To Earlier McDonald’s X Disney Campaigns Such As The “Splash” One, But Also The Infamous Fact That DinoLand USA Used To Have It’s McDonald’s Sponsor Ship Splattered On It Like Ketchup On Fries. Now, Onto The Sponsor Ship Itself, Five Lucky Contestants Who Got The Winning Number On The Back Of Their Stickers When They Bought, Fries, (A) Drink(S), A Sandwich, Or A Combo Meal Will Be Given 3 Free Days At Disney’s Animal Kingdom With 3 Days At A Moderate Hotel Of Their Choice & The Flights There & Back Also Being Paid For; Along With This, 20 Participants Who Got The 2nd Place Number Will Get A T-Shirt (The Size Of Their Choosing) Themed After The Event, & 40 Participants Who Got The 3rd Place Number Will Get A Random Dinoland USA Shirt Originating In The Park Itself; So In Conclusion, Please At Least Give Me An Honorable Mention, This Write-Up Combined With The Image Took Me So Long.
Outside of that though this is very fun and very clever. Making a logo and adding it to the cup is a really fantastic "plus" to this project. A picture says a thousand words and that cup by itself is basically all you need to know. McDonalds and Disney's partnership always just felt right (probably due to corporate brainwashing caused by propaganda cartoons I watched at an early age). This contest could be a lot of fun and makes a lot of sense. Especially with the recent RunawayRailway Happy Meal Toy promotion proving that Mickey and Mickey D's would still be interested in a park promotion.

The image of real human faces projected onto the cutouts is my new sleep paralysis demon!
Bronze Medal - @TwilightZone
This one manages to be goofy while also giving me flashbacks to childhood because of just how real this feels for a promotion of that era!
Silver Medal - @Pufflefan
A clever and realistic idea with some really funny writing! Plus, the picture is a nice touch. Only Issue Is The Capitals On Every Word. Other Then That It Was Perfect.
Gold Medal - @spacemt354
This project works perfectly as a really fun and goofy idea to just joke around with on the forum. But it also works perfectly as the start of a theme parks at home promotion! The best joke projects work just as well as a serious project too.

I'm sorry! I thought this was for the question of the day about what park you want to visit! I misunderstood!
Looking at this as an ad campaign is actually hilarious lol. Short, sweet, and to the point.
I like it for short posts! The issue was that when it was used for a whole wall of text it became difficult to read.

EPCOT Center 1986.
The idea being, just build EPCOT Center exactly as it was in 1986. And call it EPCOT Center.
And as a stupidly huge Marvel fan I would love to visit an entire park based on Marvel. And I think that would be entirely doable.

IP: Nintendo is my go-to answer for this, considering they have so many great IPs that could fill a theme park. We're starting to see this actually happen (even if the focus is just on Mario), so I'll say that there are plenty of anime IPs that could offer neat theme park possibilities (with a land based around Shonen Jump IPs being the most likely approach).
Theme: I would love to see a version of Tomorrowland with a cyberpunk theme. Not only does the cyberpunk aesthetic offer a great visual template to work from, but there are character and story tropes more closely tied to cyberpunk that could serve as jumping points design-wise for attractions or whatever.

The Sorcerer's Warmups
Heading into our 5th day of Sorcerer's Warmups, it's time to hear from some of the other folks who'll be sharing hosting duties this season. It's time to hear from HULK. It's also time to hear from Pete, one of several Disney Villains who threatened to destroy the Sorcerer's Apprentice Universe several decades ago back in 2019.
For Pete's Sake
This is the first of several unused stanzas from Sorcerer's Apprentice Season 5: Endgame, which I helped to co-host. For this prompt, we're looking to Mickey's Toontown in Disneyland, a land whose imaginative potential far outstrips its reality. Toontown is hidden far away in Disneyland's northern corners, beyond "small world" and beyond the berm. For many visitors - especially those without young children - the land's only calling card is Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin. Let’s change all that!
For this prompt, pitch a new E-ticket for Mickey's Toontown in Disneyland.
This prompt was conceived before Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway was announced, so let's pretend we're in an alternate universe without MMRR.
Imagineers during this practice prompt may use one to to sentences, plus one image. Good luck and remember to KISS: Keep it simple, weirdo
Goofy's Art Antics
Inspired by the classic "How to..." shorts, guests will have the chance to join Goofy in an interactive dark ride that offers a whole new look on art. Using the innovative "Splat" method, guests will paint the walls, the statues...and just about anything else within this slightly stuffy art academy!

Keeping in the vain of Pete being the star of the show (in his own mind), Mickey Mouse: Carnival Chaos will take guests on a non-stop fun adventure through “Crazy Pete’s Carnival”, in which guests will board midway-style shooter/rollercoaster hybrid ride vehicles and join Mickey and Minnie as they navigate Pete’s Amusement Park. Guests will have to use their cannons to shoot elaborate targets across the Carnival as the entire experience culminates in a rollercoaster section, in which Mickey and Minnie ride alongside guests on Toontown’s infamous coaster “The Plunge of Infinite Doom”.

Or even better, revive the original themes of EPCOT, but create a modern twist on the pavilions making them both a retrospective view of tomorrow while still being relevant today.
Despite being an eccentric Horizons fan who wants to see a New Horizons built, I also am really fascinated with the 70's concept for The Living Seas with Poseidon and the lavish dark ride. Would really have enjoyed seeing that built, but alas United Technologies...

I think Wall-E could be done well, perhaps in Tommorowland or Future World. It could either showcase the planet or the starcruiser.
For non-Disney, I think Scooby and the Land of Monsters would be really neat.
Yeah the 1978-ish pavilion concepts are amazing and so ambitious! I would still love to see that version of World of Motion.

i'm no epcot loyalist but there's so many great scrapped ideas for the park. i especially like the project gemini stuff and the unused world showcase pavilions.

I'd love to see the worlds of Final Fantasy be explored in theme parks. Midgar from FF7 is the obvious one, but exploring Spira from FFX would be my personal favorite for sure

Midgar might be obvious, but there would be some great fodder there. Just imagine a trackless dark ride infiltrating Shinra, or the Honeybee Inn show.
