So these were some ideas from the House Cup that really impressed me. They were some amazing attractions that I wanted to honor and have them live on in this large project we have going. If you're interested, we can add it in!

Where Everyone Has a Dream
Attractions
When Will My Life Begin: Rapunzel's Magical Adventure
One of the five dark rides coming to the Magic Kingdom in its newest expansion is based on the Disney's 50th animated feature Tangled. Transporting guests into the world of the film, Rapunzel's Magical Adventure will be an unforgettable, magical experience.
Facade:
The facade of the attraction will feature an extension of the Fantasy Village theme. The area surrounding the attraction's entrance will be inspired by the village in the animated feature.
Queue:
The queue will take guests through many different shops and locations in the Tangled village. Locations include the bakery, the barbershop and the market. All of these areas are indoors and will feature interactive elements to keep guests in line entertained.
Pre-show:
Once guests have passed through many of the shops within the village, they'll arrive at the town's official museum. It is here, that the pre-show of the attraction will take place.
Once inside, a video presentation will describe the film's first few plot points, including the birth of Rapunzel, Mother Gothel using the magic flower to remain young, the royal guards taking the flower and Mother Gothel kidnapping Rapunzel. The pre-show will end with Mother Gothel running away from the kingdom and into the forest.
Guests then move on into the loading area.
Loading Area:
After the pre-show, guests will board their vehicles in a forest environment. Themed to the forest scene throughout the movie, guests will board their carriages just on the other side of the rock that hides Rapunzel's tower.
Vehicles:
When Will My Life Begin's vehicles will be amphibious, meaning that they can travel on "land" but can also transform into a boat for different scenes.
As for theming, the vehicle will be themed to a carriage, possessing details that will elevate the attraction's quality.
Ride Experience:
Scene 1 - The Tower In The Canyon:
As guests depart the loading area, they'll enter through a spot of vines on a large rock wall. This lets into a tunnel, which in turn leads to a beautiful canyon with Rapunzel's tower in the distance. This reveal is accompanied with a draw-dropping score that is sure to go down as a Disney Parks classic. Guests then turn right and enter through another rock cave in the side of the canyon. The carriages are plunged into darkness as a familiar tune begins to play.
Scene 2 - When Will My Life Begin:
Re-telling a well-known scene from the film will be the next scene of the attraction. Guests move through the interior of the tower as an animatronic Rapunzel sings the song. Most importantly, it is established how much Rapunzel wants to see the floating lights.
Scene 3 - Mother Knows Best:
Still in a tower (but in a different room) guests are transported into the Mother Knows Best sequence from the film. A Mother Gothel animatronic appears in several places throughout the song around the tower, all in a dark, moody (and strategically lit room).
Scene 4 - The Deal/The Descent:
In this smaller scene, we see Rapunzel (frying pan in hand) making a deal with Flynn Ryder that will get her to the floating lights in exchange for the return of his satchel, which contains the lost princess's tiara. The vehicles move on into the second half of the scene.
Using projection and screen effects, guests see Rapunzel and Flynn fleeing down the side of the tower.
Scene 5 - I've Got A Dream:
Next, guests are immersed in one of the most well-known songs from the film. The carriages make a loop inside the Snuggly Duckling, passing countless animatronics of the tavern's thugs singing to the tune of the song. In addition, a Rapunzel animatronic stands in the middle singing her verse as well.
Scene 6 - Hot Pursuit:
The next scene is a wild chase between Rapunzel and Flynn and the royal guards through the cavern with the dam. Before the next scene begins, we see Ryder cut his hand on a rock. However, as the dam breaks, guests rush quickly into the next scene.
Scene 7 - Flower, Gleam and Glow:
It is now nighttime and guests pass Flynn and Rapunzel sitting on a log underneath a beautiful willow tree. We see a Rapunzel animatronic wrap her hair around Flynn's hand and sing. As her hand begins to glow, we see Flynn's hand begin to heal. Guests move past the pair and into the next scene.
Scene 8 - The Village Dance:
Guests now move through a lively village dance in the town square of the kingdom's village. This is set up similarly to the film, in which countless civilian animatronics dance around the courtyard with Rapunzel and Flynn.
Scene 9 - I See The Light:
It is here that the amphibious vehicle works its magic. As the ride path descends into the lagoon, the wheels of the carriage tuck up, transforming the carriage into a boat. In addition, the ride vehicles will turn to face the focal point of the scene using unique technology worked into the carriage.
Transporting guests into the film's most iconic scene, lanterns swirl and glow above and around guests. Guests make a loop (similar to the kiss the girl scene in the Little Mermaid attraction, but on a much larger scale) around the boat with Rapunzel and Flynn as they sing the hit song I See The Light from the film.
Once guests have made the full cycle around, the carriage's wheels will return and the vehicles move onto the next scene.
Scene 10 - The Revival:
In this smaller scene, we see Flynn cutting off Rapunzel's hair and Mother Gothel being defeated. However, before Flynn can die, he begins to glow from Rapunzel's "tear", therefore reviving him.
Scene 11 - The Kingdom Rejoices:
For the final scene of the attraction, guests are put in the middle of a celebration, as the kingdom rejoices the return of the Lost Princess to the royal family. Guests then move into the unloading area, themed to the village's museum.
Meet Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder
This new meet and greet venue will give Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder a permanent meet and greet at Magic Kingdom. Taken place of the area where Rapunzel's Tower currently stands, the "nook" will be built into the rockfall currently there, creating a miniature clearing of sorts. Vines and leaves will cover the area to create an extremely relaxing atmosphere.
Dining
The Snuggly Duckling
Tucked behind strategic landscaping, the Snuggly Duckling is a new quick service restaurant venue at the Magic Kingdom. Serving similar food to Pinocchio Village Haus, this venue will added much needed dining capacity for the park.
Wish Upon a Star
Pinocchio Daring Adventure
Queue: Guests enter through a cottage and make their way through Geppetto's workshop, full of interactive props for guests to play with.
Ride Vehicle: Hand carved baskets, separated into a front and back row, max capacity of 6. Four "strings" (cables) connected to two crisscrossed planks of wood and a puppetier's hand hold up your vehicle to an above, but not seen, track. Similar to Peter Pan ride vehicles. The four "strings" give the basket, like a puppet, the ability to tilt forwards, backwards, and side to side.
Boarding: A moving belt similar for Peter Pan, Haunted Mansion, etc.
Scene 1: Once you have boarded a puppet basket you are tilted forward, taking off into Geppetto's wood workshop. In this scene you will see Geppetto, Pinocchio, Cleo and Figaro (Advanced AA) all dancing and singing along to "Hi-Diddlee-Dee-Dee". There is a warm feeling in this scene, the cuckoo clocks and wooden dolls are all moving as well, it feels like a party. As this is happening your ride vehicle is "Dancing along", bouncing you from side to side (close to Tigger's scene in the WTP ride). Despite Jiminy's advice you dance through and open window and into a dark, mysterious scene.
Scene 2: After the fog has cleared you see that you are no longer in Geppetto's workshop. Instead you have stumbled upon Stromboli's puppet show! You meet face to face with the menacing Stromboli (vehicle leans backwards as if trying to escape) and before you know it he has captured you in a giant wooden cage
Scene 3: The doors to the wooden cage open and you find yourself on Pleasure Island among piles of larger than life candy! Every corner you turn you see temptations of childish games, carnival rides, and candy. However once you reach a shack you begin to see donkey tails and hear cries of small donkeys! Next you see two foxes coning a small donkey of all his candy among many other noisy barkers creating havoc and miserable consequences. You hear Jiminy cry "you must jump!" (ride vehicle is moving violently from side to side as you make your way through Pleasure Island.)
Scene 4: You make your break for it and jump into the dark ocean awaiting you, causing a water effect to squirt it's inhabitants lightly. Sounds of the sea and vicious wind can be heard. After being tossed around for a few seconds you hear Jiminy yell "Watch out for Monstro!" and are soon swallowed by the fierce Monstro.
Scene 5: You are left in the stomach of Monstro until he blows you out og his blowhole, becoming free from the monster.
Scene 6: You spot the Blue Fairy who is here to guide you back to Geppetto's wood shop. Taking you through the small german village
Scene 7: You enter Gepetto's workshop and are back on the unloading dock.

Once Upon a Dream: Aurora's Thrilling Tale
Queue: We enter through the gates of King Stephan's Castle and into its magnificent courtyard. After some switchbacks, we enter into the throne room, before heading up the stairs and into the hallway. Another turn and we enter Princess Aurora's Chambers. There seems to be nowhere to go before thunder crashes and a green flame appears on a second story.
Pre-show: The green flame dies down and an animatronic of Maleficent appears, telling the story of how she cursed Aurora and then casts a spell on us, putting us right into the story of Sleeping Beauty as the spinning wheel. Once Maleficent leaves, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather appear to give a happier note. With Love's First Kiss, Princess Aurora will wake. Maleficent appears once more to shoo away the fairies and the fireplace opens up, taking us to the spinning wheels we will act as.
Scene 1: Once Upon a Dream
Our spinning wheels depart and we arrive in a forest. Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip dance as they sing Once Upon a Dream to each other.
Scene 2: The Forbidden Mountain
Our vehicles take a turn and we climb up The Forbidden Mountain and arrive in Maleficent's Palace.
Scene 3: Maleficent's Palace
We take a tour of Maleficent's Palace, a dark scene culminating in a full view of Maleficent in her elegant, terrifying glory as she plots and expresses frustration that Aurora still lives.
Scene 4: Aurora in the Palace
We are brought to Princess Aurora's room as Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather leave the girl and she cries over not being able to see the man she met again, not knowing he is her betrothed. Maleficent's voice is heard commanding the girl to rise and follow.
Scene 5: Fireplace Tunnel
The train of ride vehicles separate into three.
Scene 6: Finger prick (three separate identical rooms)
Our ride vehicle makes a turn and heads straight as Maleficent's voice commands Aurora to touch the spindle. The vehicle stops as an animatronic Aurora walks up to the vehicle and touches the spindle. The room darkens as Maleficent laughs and our vehicle zooms out of the room.
Scene 7: Briars and Thorns
We enter a projection tunnel of growing briars and thorns as we rejoin our companions. We make another turn.
Scene 8: Dark Transformation
Maleficent stands, threatening Prince Phillip, and begins transforming into a dragon via projections.
Scene 9: Dragon Battle
Prince Phillip and a massive animatronic Dragon Maleficent battle it out amongst briars and thorns.
Scene 10: Dragon Slaying
We see a screen with Prince Phillip slaying the dragon.
Scene 11: True Love's Kiss
Prince Phillip awakens Aurora with a kiss for Happily Ever After. We unload and exit out into the Enchanted Wood, ready to find another adventure in this Enchanted Wood.
Notes: The Spinning Wheels will hold six guests and the seats will look like they are made out of thorns. Three rows of two will be the seat organization. The spindle will extend out so that the Aurora animatronic won't get too close. The ride system will be a faux-trackless experience with omnimover elements, with the track embedded under the floor and the vehicles able to turn sideways.
