TTA for Each Land

[SilentRascal]

I was just thinking that as much as I love the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, wouldn't it be cool if there was a version of this in place for each land? Or for several of the smaller lands lumped together? It wouldn't have to look the same, for instance in Frontierland the cars could be made up as wagons or mining cars or something.

 

[WDW-Imagineer]

Yeah, but I don't think the whole LIM concept would fit into a land that's supposed to be primative.... although neat idea.. I've always wanted to see TTA be implimented in some other part of the property.

 

[SilentRascal]

Perhaps the TTA could be likewise put in place over in Epcot. It would definitely fit in with the decor and theme.

I remember in the imagineering book, in a section about Epcot, it showed an early design with something almost exactly like the TTA going around the then seperate world showcase

A TTA-like ride in each land would be too redundant and would take that special something that the original TTA has. Plus, Tomorrowland is perfectly connected, while Adventureland's or Frontierland's attractions aren't close enough to make a connection between them, since it would bother the original fachade.

I don't think that's true at all. Part of what makes the ride great is the moving view of the area. That would work just as well in another land or another park even. It's slightly reminiscent of the World of Motion ride which wrapped around the outside for the beginning part and let you view Future World from that point.

When I rode TTA this past November it seemed like it showed more of some of the Tomorrowland attractions than I previously recalled. I do kind of like the idea of having a ride like that in each land where the elderly or those who can't easily get on the thrill rides can get a bit of a peak inside the other attractions.

Would it fit into each of the lands? Probably not. Would it be feasible in each land and attraction? Most definitely not.

But it's still a nice idea.

Yes, I don't say it wouldn't be nice, but too redundant. TTA is a Tomorrowland's classic , copying it for other lands would make it just another ride. Plus, as I said, Tomorrowland's design is unique for this type of ride, all rides connected, all buildings close and similar.

It would look EXTREMELY tacky seeing that over each land and would COMPLETELY destroy the theming disney works hard to create. I enjoy my undisturbed view of Splash Mountain from the Haunted Mansion. We don't need to be building the same attraction over and over again. It'd be as bad as building those spin and puke rides all over the place (there are 3 of them in the MK, and it's VERY excessive. Imagine seven transit authorities...it'd be a MASSIVE waste of money and will therefore never happen.

Oh please, get over yourself. There would be nothing tacky about it whatsoever. It would be another relaxing tour and view of the other lands. It would complement, not destroy, the theming Disney tries hard to create. It would be a well-ridden attraction, well worth the expense of putting it in. Sure, it won't happen, but if it did, it would be just as popular as the one in Tomorrowland and a welcome addition to whatever land it may be put into.

 

[Goofster]

In every land, I agree it would be tacky and would ruin the theming, escpecially in Fantasyland, Liberty Square, and Adventureland. I could however see a mine themed ride going around the outside of Frontierland, that could be cool.

Where is there room?

I like the derailed mine ride idea for Canada....anyone? :lol:

There wouldn't be anything the least bit tacky about it if it was put in additional lands. It could easily be designed to go along with the theming. I know many who would find it a welcome addition.

How about this? There used to be the skyway that connected Fantayland and Tomorrowland, right? Why not run an extension to the TTA past Toontown and into the old Fantasyland Station? You could pass over the Speedway, past the Barnstormer, over the lagoon, and through IASW. You could either get offf in Fantasylnd or stay on for the whole loop, depending upon crowds. This would be no more invasive than the skyway was. i do agree that the TTA wouldn't fit into frontierland and Liberty Square as designed now. You could always build a double hub in fantasy land with a "western" themed TTA going one way and the original the other. Needless to say, this would involve major construction in several lands at one time and big bucks so it's not likely to happen anytime soon.

This is similar to the "monorails" that some other themeparks use. Hersheypark here in PA comes to mind. Surprisingly, it is not intrusive if done right. You can walk through the sections of Hersheypark that have the monorail and not even notice it unless you look for it.

Yeah, that'd be cool. ANY ride for the WS is a good ride. Shows are good, but I think WS has been showed out.

 

[General Grizz]

Yaa...the Canada ride idea is good...almost like a roller coaster thru Nature's Wonderland...maybe...in mine trains...but seems to similar to Big Thunder...caves and all??

So, with your philosophy they should clone their own ride and build them in other lands. That is as absurd as building a SkyWay that connects all the lands like it did with Tomorrowland and Fantasyland, or building a Shooting Arcade for each land just because they are great attractions.
My veredirct : That's simply not Disney style.

Let's see.....Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, Peter Pan....all basically clones of the same ride BUT with varied themes. Obviously that IS Disney style. There's nothing absurd about it at all. They don't have to be connected from land to land, but if they had one in each land it would definitely attract riders. By the way, there's no such word as "veredirct".

it would look downright stupid with a transit authority over the lands. 19th century western town with a transit authority towering over it? I think not. Would you ever see one in the middle of a jungle? I think not. As for Fantasyland, if it were high enough, it would work. But that would be prohibitively expensive. I'd rather see the money spent on Fire Mountain, and if disney wanted to spend money on MK, that is the type of thing it would go to: an e-ride. And now, the transit authorities would not be popular. The reason TTA is popular is because it's the only one and you don't really see it at other parks. If you are comparing Pan to Pooh, then I would say make a transit authority for Fantasyland in which you hang under the track, are lying down, and call it You Can Fly! THAT, I would enjoy. It'd be a little nausiating...so they'd have to solve that problem first...but it'd be innovative and fit in. I would actually love to see a batflyer coaster 20K lagoon...and have something like the bumper boats at DisneySeas actually in the lagoon. As for a mine ride in Frontierland...it wouldn't be a TTA, b/c it would be underground (it's a mine...I have yet to hear of an aboveground mine) or it would need its own ride building. If they were going to go that far, I would say build an Indiana Jones ride in the west (watch the beginning of The Last Crusade)
