I don't get what you are trying to say, as long as they could legally why couldn't Disney use a system like this?
Dare I ask what it was proposed to be?
It's the whole point of Disney. To quote Joe Rhode "Any company can go out, buy a Roller Coaster, throw some rocks up around it, and call it the Grand Himalayan Adventure. But that's not what we do here."
EVERYTHING starts at story. For example, as I said with Rock N Roller Coaster. The idea didn't start as "Let's buy a roller coaster and put some music on it." That's not what WDI does. They tell stories. So the first idea was, Rock N Roll...What goes great with Rock N Roll? How about being in a 50's convertible, roaring down the road with the wind in your hair. Well, that's very nice, but the park is all about Hollywood...Well, Rock N Roll is the heart of the music industry, what if the story was about a recording studio in the heart of Hollywood? Why not? Blue Sky ideas like this, slowly, but surely, forming a compelling story...Well what if we're touring this recording studio, and we meet a big rock band, where do we go from there? What if the band was late to a concert, and invited us along? Awesome! Now what if...we had to get there in a rush! Then we end up on a roaring car ride blazing to Rock N Roll! Almost there...now what car is it? We don't want small cars, or else we'd end up with Test Track. We want this story to be different. A big Hollywood rock band would be traveling in a big stretch limo.
*ding!*
What if this rush to the concert was at night? And what if we're traveling in "super" stretch limos? And anyone who drives the L.A. freeways at night (I have!) can attest that it's alot like a Roller Coaster. A Rock n' Roller Coaster!
That's roughly how the story came to be. They don't just pick a ride system, add some gimmicks, and call it a day. It's ALL about story. Ride System comes naturally with the story. Even since the days of Walt! When Walt wanted a Bobsled ride, WED wasn't sure how to give him that. Bobsleds sliding through some kind of slide? Well that'd have a low capacity. How do we bring the story of a thrilling bobsled ride down an alpine mountain to life?
Well, you could bring the Bobsleds up to the top like a Roller Coaster. But wood won't really look good coming in and out of the mountain. The track has to look natural, and be part of the mountain. What could roller coaster wheels hold on too? Something that can be fabricated and bended to match the crazy turns and drops. Steel can bend easily.
*ding!*
To bring Walt's Bobsled story to life, they ended up inventing the modern Steel Roller Coaster. Not the other way around.
:lol:
Now if in the process of making stories, the perfect ride system would be THIS coaster, then it'd be In Like Flynn.
But as for just buying the Coaster and adding some theme too it after the fact? Well, like I said, that's just not what Imagineering does.
