After trying for 40 minutes to get the pictures to post and failing, I'm just gonna post the text I have.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 8:17 : Got some of the picture to work. My map still isn't working.

Pacific Pier

One of area of California that has never truly been represented is the city of San Francisco, with Pacific Pier, Pixar Pier will be rethemed to showcase the beauty and majesty of the Golden Gate, this new area will be renamed to Pacific Pier. Pacific Pier will be centered around three sub-areas; the largest of these will be the Golden Gate. The other two areas will be San Francisco Harbor and the Presidio.

The Golden Gate


The Golden Gate section will be the section of the park that formerly contained the core of Pixar Pier. The bridge leading from the new San Francisco harbor area to the Golden Gate will be modeled on the Golden Gate bridge. The Incredicoaster will be covered in a mountain range becoming a dark coaster. The theming will be changed slightly as now the Parks are chasing throughout the mountain looking for Jack Jack who has escaped Edna’s compound at the base of the mountain. The base of the mountain will also form the pier surrounding Paradise Bay. This pier will feature many of the same offerings as before, but be rethemed to a post-modern architectural style. Midway Mania’s exterior will be rethemed to match this, as will the other attractions. The Silly Symphony Swings and Golden Zephyir will be added to this section as the mountain range will cut it off from Paradise Gardens Park. The light Pixar theming of attractions and food carts will remain, but not the sole focus of the land.

San Francisco Harbor

View attachment 304821

Directly facing the golden gate will be the new San Francisco Harbor area of the park. Already many pieces of this area are themed to San Francisco but now the entire area will be themed to downtown San Francisco. The anchor piece of this new area will be the San Francisco Ferry Terminal, here the trolley of Buena Vista Street will stop and loop back. The exterior of the Little Mermaid’s attraction will be rethemed to its original appearance, it will once again look like the Palace of Fine Arts.


The area formerly know as Paradise Gardens will be rethemed to the Presidio. This area will feature Spanish Colonial styled architecture and celebrate the mission history of California. Goofy’s Sky School will be rethemed as WWII American Air Force training video, this will bring to life the artwork and propaganda made by the Disney studio during WWII. The Jumpin Jelly Fish will be replaced with a new show building designed to celebrate the life of Walt Disney. This show will feature an Audio Animatronic of Walt himself. The first act of the show will follow an edited recording of Walt’s famous interview with Fletcher Markle, the second act will celebrate Walt Disney’s last dream; EPCOT. Following the recordings available, Walt will explain his dream for a city of tomorrow. The show building will be themed to the exterior of the Walt Disney Family Museum and will partner with the Museum to showcase work and artifacts from Walt’s life.
I love this idea! I'm sorry about the technical problems! Other than that, this is such a fun idea. I think that Walt AA would be a huge hit! I have seen petitions and posts of people saying to add a Walt Disney AA in the park. It would bring nostalgia to guests that experienced DCA 1.0

Since Haunted Mansion just closed to be refurbed, I decided to have some fun with the overlay. You know what that means... Time for a Disney Overhaul!

Backstory
I'm not going to give a backstory because it doesn't’ really need one so I'm just going to get straight to the task. Let's imagine that Tim Burton movies were all owned by Disney! @PerGronStudio will give a Tim Burton movie and you will create a post with unlimited amount of sentences that gives me a scene or the whole ride that is based of that Tim Burton movie that will overlay Haunted Mansion. This challenge will begin once @PerGronStudio gives you your movie.

Remember!
You can start from scratch or use the existing building.
Stay in the that area and don’t extend the building.
No old or extinct concepts/rides
Unlimited this Round!
You have till August 25th 7:30 PM PST
Have Fun and Good Luck!​

@PerGronStudio has made their decision! Everyone got a movie even if you don't play.

@TwilightZone has been the other most consistent player so I’m gonna give her a challenge with Batman.

@Pionmycake is an experienced Imagineer vet and a danger so he gets Planet of the Apes

@ChampDisney is another great imagineer and a threat so he’ll get Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

@OutboundFlight is deadly too so they’ll get Dark shadows

@Sam4D23 will get Mrs. Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

@PerGronStudio choose Bettlejuice

This is a fun/imaginative but tough round! So give it your all!

Arkham Graveyard
Scarecrow__5197.jpg

The scarecrow is at it again, making his fear gas cause the illusion of evil ghosts and creatures that terrorize Gotham. The guests play the role of unwilling helpers, hired by Alfred to help Batman defeat the scarecrow and his evil ghost army. To do this, guests are given anti gas bows by a cast member before the ride. Shooting at the ghosts causes effects to go off that normally happen on their own during normal haunted mansion as well as new effects programmed in just for Arkham Graveyard. The finale scene takes place in the Arkham Graveyard the ride is named after, guests will rack in points by shooting at the ghosts and the scarecrow using the arrows. Batman thanks you, and the ride is over.

Willy Wonka. Now a wealthy retired businessman in the world of sweets and chocolates, has inherited his factory off to Charlie Bucket. Wonka has put all of his faith and trust in Charlie to take Wonka Enterprises to new heights. When the time came to settle down, Wonka decided it was time to move.

Willy Wonka, an established world traveler, has been all over the world and back again. However, Wonka had the desire to relocate in the most secluded section of the bayou. Unluckily for Mr. Wonka, there was a particular Mansion that was up for grabs... The former Gracey Manor.

Inherited by 998 happy haunts, this abandoned home has been dubbed the name The Haunted Mansion by it’s surrounding natives for generations upon generations, but Willy Wonka doesn’t know this. Upon purchasing the house, Wonka was warned about the suspicious and supernatural occurrences happening throughout the old mansion over the years. Wonka known for his arrogance and uncanny ability brush people off to do what he pleases, purchased the mansion anyway.

And so the overlay starts with this in mind.

The Haunted Mansion
Golden Ticket Edition
The outside look of the mansion will remain untouched, by the way this overlay covers Walt Disney World’s version of the Haunted Mansion. Once entering, guests will be surprised to discover that the infamous Master Gracey portrait was swapped out for a portrait of the new master of the household, Willy Wonka. Just like Master Gracey’s transformative portrait, Wonka’s portrait does exactly the same.

Stepping into the mansion’s window-less chambers, we hear the familiar voice of the Ghost Host. With the addition of new dialogue, the Ghost Host says...

Welcome Foolish Mortals, to the Haunted Mansion. I am your host, your “Ghost Host”. Mhmhaha... Our tour begins here, in this gallery, here you will see paintings of some of our guests as they appear in their mortal state. Kindly step all of the way in please, and make room for a few more. There’s no turning back now...

The Ghost Host continues on with the usual act, until guests hear the voice of Willy Wonka echoing somewhere in the distance.

Hello?! Where are my Golden Ticket winners?! For such a spooky compound such as this, I made sure to double the amount this time around! I purposely left a few creepy contraptions lying about too, it’ll be sure to give these kids and their stuck up parents a fright! Hehe.

The Ghost Host continues.

Ah yes. I almost forgot to mention, we currently have a rather unusual guest staying among us. A Foolish Mortal just like you, who believes money can buy haunted things too. Little does he know, that I have taken over his tour, he is lost and he will never find you, no. For buying the Haunted Mansion, Master Wonka has subsequently SOULED OUT! Hahahahaha!

Suddenly the lights within the chamber flicker on and off as a bolt of vicious lightening is heard throughout. As guests turn their attention upward, they will see a projection of Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) being shoved from a high staircase above. Wonka yells in terror as he falls, and just as guests believe that he will come crashing through on the floor they stand on. Wonka poofs out of thin air, implying to guests that Willy Wonka has died and has become a permanent resident of the Haunted Mansion.

As guests move on to the loading room, they will notice how everything looks the same. Same portraits, same wallpaper, same lamps and the same cobwebs. Wonka never once thought about redecorating the place, he loved it as is. Let’s not forget, he wanted to scare the kids.

Once boarding your Doom Buggy, you enter the hallway of deadly rooms. Nothing has changed, except the addition of the wrappings of Wonka bars thrown near the shaking doorways. Guests then encounter the scene depicting the raising dead attempting to come out of it’s casket. However, the lid of the casket is open and guests can clearly see the deadman sitting in his casket as if he was chilling in a jacuzzi, enjoying a Wonka Bar!

Guests then travel past the endless hallway, where normally you would find the floating candle sticks. Only this time, there is a monstrous figure completely covered in chocolate. Could this be one of Willy Wonka creepy contraptions?

Suddenly, guests are taken through, above and across the ballroom where Mr. Wonka stands front and center offering a peace treaty with the ghosts through chocolate. And so, you will find chocolate throughout the entire Ballroom scene, from bars to cakes to cookies too! All while the ghosts dance as they celebrate this coming together.

Our Doom Buggy then travels into the biggest meet-up party around in the Graveyard. The Caretaker and his canine companion will be replaced with three lost innocent children, Golden Ticket winners nonetheless, who broke free from being guided by their terrified parents. They stand closely together as one kid holds onto a flashlight. Yet, each of them express the same worried look on their face reminiscent to the Caretaker’s.

Once entering the Graveyard, guests will see Ghosts coming together here as well for their new love of Wonka chocolate bars! You can even overhear quite a few of them remark things such as, “I sense a beautiful friendship blooming around these parts!” “Wonka?! He’s one helluva ghost, I tell ya and he makes great candy too!” “Who would’ve thought?! Ghosts can enjoy a good Wonka bar too!

Then into the attic... The last yet most chilling scene of all. Usually, this is the area where you’ll find old family portraits of Constance Hatchaway and all of her “failed marriages”. However, before Wonka’s death, he loaded the entire attic with boxes upon boxes with then name “Wonka” labeled on them. Finally, guests encounter the ghostly Wonka sitting while joyfully rocking back and forth on one of Constance’s old chairs...

Wait, what is that you say?! Another finale to a classical attraction that features the inclusion of Johnny Depp at the end portraying one of his iconic characters as he sits around celebrating something? Yep, that’s exactly it!

However, things aren’t always as they seem. Wonka carries away, boasting his ego as someone or something lurks right behind him... Constance Hatchaway! And she’s not in the mood for chocolates either... Guests are then welcomed to “hurry back” and yes, the Hitchhiking Ghosts still follow you home.

Oh my goodness I love this challenge. Just finished a mini vacation myself and moving back into my apartment at college. Hopefully, if my first day of classes go smoothly, I'll have enough time to do at least a quick something for this fun round! Sorry I missed a bunch of rounds. This has been a fantastic competition!

Beetlejuice Manor

It's Halloween in Disneyland, and that of course means it's time for a brand new overlay of the classic Haunted Mansion attraction. However, Disney CEO Bob Iger wanted something new to replace the old and tired Nightmare Before Christmas overlay, and instead decided to replace it with not only the best Halloween film, but one of the top five best films of all time (unobjectively, do not try to dispute this) Beetlejuice, just in time for its 30th Anniversary in 2018.

The outside of the manor remains relatively the same, barring the entryway, which now has a large graveyard reading "Here lies Betlegeuse" sits. Once you enter the stretching room, that's when things begin to change...

[In Stretching Room]​

Ghost Host: Where hinges When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening...

Disembodied Voice: *Afar* LAME

Ghost Host: *Under breath* Beetlejuice *Coughs* As I was saying, where hinges creak...

Disembodied Voice: *Afar* You already said that!

Ghost Host: *Annoyed and slightly louder* Beetlejuice... *Normal Voice* Where hinges...

Disembodied Voice: *Afar* Third time's the charm 'ey big boy?

Ghost Host: *Annoyed and yelling* BEETLEJUICE!

[Some magical noises take place as Beetlejuice springs to life. Smoke fills the stretching room, and a large projection of Beetlejuice appears on the walls, once again played fantastically by Michael Keaton.]

Beetlejuice: Boy oh boy did that take some time... (looks at one guest in particular and pseudo-whispers) Get a load of this ghost host thing, it's like he's new to the whole haunting thing. (Directs voice at the Ghost Host) Hey buddy, how's about you take the day off and I can show the meat bags around the old (in French accent) chateau (back to normal) huh?

Ghost Host: No, absolutely not, I will not leave helpless mortals with the likes of you. You're nothing but a menace to all things dead. Now, if we just flip through the handbook for the recently deceased, there has to be an easy way to be rid of you..

Beetlejuice: Awww come on Ghosty, you're always flying around, stretching paintings and what-not, don't you think you've earned a break? I mean, you've been doing this since what? '55?

Ghost Host: Our tour is incredibly sensitive, our 999 happy haunts will not be pleased to discover you've returned. In fact, I should go alert them all right now.

Beetlejuice: Alright, he's gone. So here's the plan meatbags, err, I mean, beloved guests. These doors are gonna open, you're gonna load into your Doom Buggies, and I'm gonna take you on the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness! Oh, wait, wrong ride, Tumbleweed isn't scheduled for a possession until that Star Wars thing wraps up. Anywho, we gotta get this show on the road before Ghosty gets back and takes over. Let's go!​

The doors open to the loading queue where the changing portraits have been changed slightly. The were-cat lady, the headless horseman, the changing man, and Medusa have all been repainted as Betlegeuse taking over the poses (See exhibit A) As you're walking through the corridors, the Ghost Host's safety instructions are replaced with Beetlejuice saying the same instructions.

Guests then pass the busts that follow you as you walk. They remain very similar, but they now have moustaches and goattees drawn on with what appears to be Sharpie Markers. The Words "BEETLEJUICE WAZ HERE" Is also drawn into the wall with Red Sharpie.

Guests finally board the Doom Buggies where Beetlejuice takes over.

Beetlejuice: (as Cowboy Beetlejuice from the Bio-Exorcism commercials in the film) Alright ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, don't be pullin' on those there lap bars, nope, I'm gonna be doing that for you.

The lapbars then lower, much faster than usual, spooking, but not hurting, the guests.

Beetlejuice: *Whispering* Oh, was that too much for you? I didn't mean to frighten you prematurely. *Loudly* Oh wait, yes I did! Now, let's get going. We're about to be taking this one way train to the afterlife! Whoo Whoo!

The Doom Buggies then begin making their way through the manor, now playing the Beetlejuice theme as opposed to the original Haunted Mansion score. The rooms are less grim and Haunted Mansion-y, and more colorful, bright, and kooky, much like the color palate of the film. The Doom Buggies first pass by a scale model of Disneyland park (a lot like the one Alec Baldwin's character makes of their hometown in the film). As we get to the corridor with the Suit of Armor, the first major change appears.

Where the suit of Armor once stood is an animatronic Beetlejuice, holding a cryptic book, called "Handbook for the Recently Undead." Down the hall, the floating candlelabra is gone and instead, a door swings open to showcase the Sandworms from the original film.

Beetlejuice: Ugh, Sandworms. Boy do those guys know how to ruin a party. Speaking of Party, let's get this one started. In due time of course. Can't have Ghosty showing up and ruining it before we even get started. But, why not at least take a stop by the old Grave huh? Meet the misses? Oh wait, that's right, there is no Misses! Ladies, they say, once you go Ghost, you'll, eh forget it.

The Doom Buggies pass by what was once the coffin with the corpse trapped inside. Instead, there is a bar, mimicing an old Tiki Bar that reads "Betlegeuse's Beetle-Juice" with a menu that has one item: Impending Doom.

The doom buggies pass through the hallway with the self-knocking doors, but overall, the scene remains unchanged. You do here Beetlejuice whispering "which one am I behind? You gotta figure it out. Come on. Open one."

Passing through Madame Leota's Seance room, the scene is very similar, but Leota appears much more annoyed, as an animatronic Beetlejuice sits on a chair, legs dangling over the side, kicking while flirting with the disembodied head.

Leota: Serpents and Spiders, tail of a rat call in the spirits, wherever they're at.

Beetlejuice: Baby do you know how to get a boy excited. Serpents and Spiders?!

Leota: Rap on a table, it's time to respond,send us a message from somewhere beyond.

Beetlejuice: Sure, just give me your number. Oh come on, don't ignore me, you just asked for a message. C'mon baby.

Leota: Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween awaken the spirits with your tambourine.

Beetlejuice: Tambourine? So you like a guy who plays tambourine? I can play a tambourine.

Leota: Creepies and crawlies, toads in a pond let there be music from regions beyond.

Beetlejuice: *Animatronic's head turns and just dead-pan stares at the guests passing by while chuckling.*

Leota: Wizards and witches wherever you dwell, give us a hint by ringing a bell...

Beetlejuice: Seriously, just give me your digets and I'll ring a bell whenever you want

The doom buggy then enters the room where the ghosts were once ballroom dancing to classical music, but the scene is replaced very classily by the best scene in the whole Beetlejuice film. You know which one I'm talking about.

Beetlejuice: Oh boy, looks like this dinner party DIED. Luckily, I have a good friend who can help us out. Yo Belafonte, hit it.

Music:
Day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Me say day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Work all night on a drink of rum
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Stack banana 'til de mornin' come
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Daylight come and me wan' go home
A beautiful bunch o' ripe banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Hide the deadly black tarantula
Daylight come and me wan' go home​

The ghosts dance around the table, replicating the scene from the film. The music cuts out after the doom buggy passes by the scene and you just here screaming, implying the shrimp monsters came out and grabbed the guests.

Beetlejuice: Boy, I love that part.

The doom buggies then come through the attic scene, where Beetlejuice comments on how this attic isn't nearly as nice as the Maitland's.

Beetlejuice: Wow, I know this is a haunted mansion, but boy do they need some cleaners coming in here. Even the Maitland's didn't have this much of a mess, minus that miniature model thing. That was a disaster.

Beetlejuice: Woah, who are these guys? This chick has a serious knack for marrying men with exploding head syndrome. Trust me, it's gotta be one of the worst experiences. I've had it a few times. You never really get your mind back.

Finally, the buggies pass by Constance Hatchaway, of course, Beetlejuice is once again flirting.

Beetlejuice: Hey baby, is that a hatchet in your hand or are you just happy to see me?

Constance: In sickness, or in health...

Beetlejuice: Either way is good with me, you know. Sickness, health, we're dead, we've got our whole afterlives together. You're already in your wedding dress, let's do it.

Finally, the Doom Buggy begins winding down the staircase into the graveyard. This is the scene that becomes the most Beetlejuice-y of all of them. While Grim-Grinning Ghost still plays, it is playing to the tune of a Tim Burton/Danny Elfman rewrite.

Beetlejuice: Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Ghouls, welcome, to the most swinging wake of your whole afterlife!

An animatronic of Beetlejuice is seen popping up behind the gravekeeper and his dog, whispering in his ear. The animatronic backs up every time the gravekeeper turns its head.

The graveyard itself seems to be rethemed to the Beetlejuice Graveyard, featuring the faux-grass look, with large trees, lights, and, off in the distance, a very subtle, blink and you miss it, reference to Dante's Inferno Room.

The Doom Buggy passes by the singing busts, where Beetlejuice is hiding behind the posts, singing the song off key. Finally, the doom buggies pass through the archway to where the Ghost Host reclaims you.

Ghost Host: Ah there you are. We sincerely apologize if you were frightened to death by this menace. We here at Gracey Manor like to frighten you, not annoy you with antics such as Beetlejuice here.

Beetlejuice: *Ugh* Don't say that man, c'mon, these guys had a great tour.

Ghost Host: We will now be returning you to your corruptible mortal state, and will then be dealing with Beetlejuice in the harshest way possible.

Beetlejuice: Don't say it. Man, don't say it Ghosty. I'll do whatever you want. I'll clean up the attic. I'll pick up the cobwebs. I'll even take the bride and the head out for dinner. Just don't say that word one more time.

Ghost Host: Now, our friendly hitchhiking ghosts will direct you home. Now, it's time for you Beetlejuice.

Beetlejuice: *Voice fading away* C'mon man, I'll do anything. C'mon, guys, do something. We had a great tour. C'mon guys. C'mon.

The doom buggy then passes through where the hitchhiking ghosts point you towards the exit, guiding you instead of following you as you pass through the mirror hall. However, the hitchhiking ghosts no longer appear in the mirror, instead, it's a familiar face.

Beetlejuice: Alright, we had a great tour, now I need y'all to do me a flavour. Say my name three times, alright? Say Beetlejuice three times. We'll figure it out from there, but you gotta get me out of here. C'mon guys, three times! Just Three! Where are you going! Don't leave me here! You're traitors! Get back here and help me! Get back here!

You finally reach the exit platform. You then pass through the hall where Little Leota once stood. However, that hall now appears to be Purgatory where Beetlejuice is sitting in the waiting room, holding a ticket, just like at the end of the film. You then exit back into New Orleans Square, both confused and delighted by your experience.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: There will also be favorite Beetlejuice moments included, like Snake Beetlejuice, the weird faces made by the main characters, and other beloved scenes throughout the attraction.

Willy Wonka. Now a wealthy retired businessman in the world of sweets and chocolates, has inherited his factory off to Charlie Bucket. Wonka has put all of his faith and trust in Charlie to take Wonka Enterprises to new heights. When the time came to settle down, Wonka decided it was time to move.

Willy Wonka, an established world traveler, has been all over the world and back again. However, Wonka had the desire to relocate in the most secluded section of the bayou. Unluckily for Mr. Wonka, there was a particular Mansion that was up for grabs... The former Gracey Manor.

There’s no turning back now...

The Ghost Host continues on with the usual act, until guests hear the voice of Willy Wonka echoing somewhere in the distance.

Hello?! Where are my Golden Ticket winners?! For such a spooky compound such as this, I made sure to double the amount this time around! I purposely left a few creepy contraptions lying about too, it’ll be sure to give these kids and their stuck up parents a fright! Hehe.

The Ghost Host continues.

Ah yes. I almost forgot to mention, we currently have a rather unusual guest staying among us. A Foolish Mortal just like you, who believes money can buy haunted things too. Little does he know, that I have taken over his tour, he is lost and he will never find you, no. For buying the Haunted Mansion, Master Wonka has subsequently SOULED OUT! Hahahahaha!

They stand closely together as one kid holds onto a flashlight. Yet, each of them express the same worried look on their face reminiscent to the Caretaker’s.

Uh, I’m not sure what you’re implying here but I decided on an original story, kinda like a sequel. I mean, how else would you tell the story in the Haunted Mansion without making it you’re own? Where’s you’re concept?
Two things. One: I am not participating his challenge.
And two:

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Starting in the fall of 2019, the Haunted Mansion will undergo a temporary overlay themed to the book-turned-film 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children'.

The attraction will begin in a revamped queue. Gone are the faces of passed relatives of a great Southern dynasty, replaced with portraits depicting the various peculiar children and the many headmistresses that have protected them throughout the centuries. Guests will then proceed into the stretching room. Here a new story will begin based off of the opening scenes of the film. Guests will hear the voice of Abraham Portman explaining to his grandson Jake how he survived WWII in Miss Peregrine's home suddenly a lightening strike will cut Abe off and guests will hear the voice Mr. Barrow (the main villan and a Hallow) threatening Abe and the guests. Through shadow projections and such Abe's eyes will be removed, Mr. Barrow will take human form, and Jake will return to hear his grandfather's dying words asking him to "go to the loop of September 3, 1943".

From here guests will be ushered into the loading station, here they will board their doombuggies and go through time...back to the loop of September 3, 1943. When guests come out and find themselves in the loop the house and characters will come alive. From here the ride will essentially progress through the film with the rooms of the mansion becoming rooms that reflect the unique identities of each 'peculiar child'. Lurking in each room will be a Hallow. These frightening beings wish to destroy the pecuilar's and devour their eyes in order to gain human form. They are the main antagonists of the story. Like our hero Jake, guests will be able to see these creatures.

After guests are introduced to the characters of the house, they will proceed to a scene showing the destruction of the mansion by a Luftwafe bomb (the graveyard scene). Hundreds of Hallows will come out and try to take the children, our hero Jake fends them off as we transition to him bringing the children onto a sunken boat and raising it from the sea floor. This heroic act allows Jake to reset the loop and kill Mr. Barrow. As guests proceed back into where the office usually is they see that Jake has restored the normal timeline, his grandfather is no longer dead, and all is seemingly well.

I have never seen this film or read the book and was unable to watch it. Therefore this concept is based off of trailers and information for the film that I could find online.

Arkham Graveyard

The scarecrow is at it again, making his fear gas cause the illusion of evil ghosts and creatures that terrorize Gotham. The guests play the role of unwilling helpers, hired by Alfred to help Batman defeat the scarecrow and his evil ghost army. To do this, guests are given anti gas bows by a cast member before the ride. Shooting at the ghosts causes effects to go off that normally happen on their own during normal haunted mansion as well as new effects programmed in just for Arkham Graveyard. The finale scene takes place in the Arkham Graveyard the ride is named after, guests will rack in points by shooting at the ghosts and the scarecrow using the arrows. Batman thanks you, and the ride is over.
Short but great! This is just a fun imaginative round which you brought to this round! Batman would be hit if Tim Burton movies were allowed at all Disney Parks! Good Job!
