With all this discussion of new park ideas being tossed around (we're all bored with the lack of news lately, huh?) I though I'd write out the concept I've been thinking of all day. A lot of people don't seem convinced of it's merits... so after you skim it let me know of your criticisms and ideas!
Here's my idea for a Villians Park.
The park's icon is, instead of a Castle, Maleficent herself in Dragon form! The giant, LED lit dragon is sleeping but occasionally raises it's head, opens it's glittering eyes, an emits smoke. Surrounding it is the tracks for a partially underground coaster themed as the dragon chasing the Prince before his narrow escape. Inside this structure is also the Maleficent meet & greet.
Magic Mirror 3D show (Philharmagic) - A 3D show mixing comedy and frights through the world of different Disney Villains. Hosted by the Magic Mirror who shows us the sights and sounds of different villains performing their signature songs or mixed up in an adventure together.
Lotso Bear Shop - A gift shop of scary monsters made cuddly, such as Flotsam and Jetsam and Pain and Panic with a large Lotso the Bear outside smiling.
Ursula Coaster - A Coaster themed to appear as the tentacles of giant Ursula on the sea. Will take place near the lake which also houses Hook's ship. Possibly appears to "go underwater" though an underwater tunnel and splashes (but does not SOAK, think more mist) the riders.
Jafar MAGIC stage show - Jafar takes center stage in a live magic act with his sidekick Iago. Jafar's tricks are formidable but Iago keeps messing them up! Jafar eventually, frustrated, transforms into his Genie self for a finale. He catches Iago and they both end up sucked into the lamp awaiting the next showtime.
Mother Gothel's Tower - A tower ride that straps you in and soars you up to unimaginable heights, before you plummet back down!
King Candy Race Track - Similar to Autopia but with an indoor candy theme! Watch that you don't GLITCH OUT! TURBO might show up!
Cruella's Puppy Escape - A fast paced ride! We board dalmatian themed cars and are chased at every turn by Cruella! We avoid her for the first half of the ride before she gets angry and the real show begins! We're sent through a feverish, over the top psychedelic journey of high fashion before escaping her clutches at last.
Hades' Dark Ride - We board pegasus for a dark ride through the pits of the underworld. After travelling over a sea of dark souls we are given the sights and sound (and smells! sulfur, brimstone and smoke) of the underworld. We see the fates and are given our fortunes by them.
Queen Of Hearts Wonderland Bumpers - A smaller but intensely themed ride. The queue is a hedge maze through a fantastic wonderland garden, complete with talking flowers and playing cards painting the roses red! On the other side is a bumper car race in card themed vehicles.
Ship Tour with Captain Hook - A walking tour of Captain hook's ship is interesting and pirate themed before being interrupted by the meddlesome Peter Pan... a slow but gradually getting louder ticking sound gives the audience a hint at the big finale...
Villains Meet & Greet - A meet and great inside a dark dungeon of rare villains and crooks without their own rides. Possible "character dinners" or "character drinking sessions" á la the Aventurer's Club.
Old Crone's Restaurant - Sidle up for some potions and a hot meal! Just be sure you don't try the apple themed dessert...!
Dr. Facilier's Experience - The audience sits down for a performance by Dr. Facilier and his "friends from the other side." We are treated to a stage effects show and musical performance in the vein of The Little Mermaid show at DHS.
Yzma's Secret Lab Coaster - You pulled the wrong lever! Why does she even have that lever?! Cronk takes you on a hilarious entry ride through Yzma's secret lab but we learn her plan was to lure us there and turn us into Lamas! We try to escape and end up on a wild ride through different transformations (Rockin' Roller Coaster style effects of different animals) before she herself gets turned into a little kitten and we get away safely.
Oh Ratigan! Mini-Coaster (Wild mouse) - A small "wild mouse" type coaster themed around being chased through oversized human items.
Lady Tremaine & The Stepsisters Beauty Salon - Similar to Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boutique but for grown ups. The ladies and their friends paint you up to look a little over the top and wicked...
Chernobog's Fireworks Spectacular - At the end of the night Chernobog's silhouette rises up and our favorite villains appear as the music swells for a 15 minute firework spectacular! The finale has the dragon's head lifting and it breathing real fire!
