I want a revolutionary track system that can both ride on the ground as well as transition to an overhead ski lift system like Peter Pan, and back down into a ground system.
I want revolutionary AA's with amazing immersive experiences.
We are on the ground, travelling through Steamboat Willie...we circle the boat and see Mickey in black and white spinning the wheel...
We then go to Pinocchio, travelling into Gepetto's workshop. As we start on the ground, we are amazed to see an AA of Jiminy Cricket running along the side of our vehicles, encouraging us to go in to the Toy Shoppe with him...then we move into another room, following Pinocchio to school, and then onto the Monstro scene, much like DL's...as we splash through a minor water effect, we break into:
Bambi's world- a clearing in the forest, still on the ground, we are witness to Bambi's birth...and then we move around the corner to the ice skating scene, and the vehicles wildly pitch and forth as we ice skate alongside Bambi. Bambi and Thumper are skating around us and we feel the cold...
Then we feel ourselves lift off the ground for our first ariel experience moving into a scene from Cinderella, we zoom over the scene as the Fairy Godmother changing Cindy into her new dress...then we zoom over the town, toward the Castle, we circle the castle as Cindy and Prince Charming dance for the first time, then we fly overhead as Prince Charming puts the slipper on Cindy's foot
Still aloft, We then move through a thick fog, into a clearing again, and see Sleeping Beauty's Castle in the distance, we move in to see the christening and Maleficent's first appearance...this is an amazing AA...fluid. Then we transition into complete darkness and feel heat..and we know that we are moving toward Maleficent in dragon form...This is an independent AA..and can move anywhere it is programmed...It's also huge...we fly around the AA...it breathes fire and we narrowly escape it..
Still aloft, the next thing we see is the London of 100 dalmatians...we come down to the ground and see Pongo and Perdita meeting ...we get splashed with water.
Then, all of a sudden, Cruella and her car come speeding up on one side of the vehicle...she threatens us...but we are aloft again...
Flashing forward, we then go into the undersea world of Ariel...we are witness to "Under the Sea" as we frolic through the air ...and then see Ursula sealing the deal with Ariel...(again, the Ursula AA is incredible, moving up down and capturing the spirit of the animation, she sails up to eye us in our vehicle) and then through a mist of fog, we see (another huge room) Ursula in her oversized form..she is menacing, splashing water on us...
Then we come back to earth to travel through the Beast's castle and be part of "Be our Guest" with Lumiere, who sails down on a chandelier...we then become aloft again, come down from the top of the ballroom scene, and sail around Belle and the Beast as they dance...we drift away, with the Beast's castle, aglow in the background.
In the distance, we see Agrabah...we go on Aladdin's and Jasmine's flight and hear "A Whole New World." During this time, the vehicles stop and Aladdin and Jasmine sail around us, this room uses screen technology to show us everything that they see...until the screens go black, separate and we see Jafar in his snake form...we sail around him, and through a glitter of hourglass sand as we free Jasmine,
Finally we come back down to the ground Zazu flys next to us, and we recreate the opening sequence of the Lion King...we then land on the ground...we then withness "I Can't wait to be King", and the track bounces along much like the Winnie the Pooh's Tigger room.
From here, we are still on the ground, and glide into the final room, the largest room of all, where we find AA's from almost every major Disney movie, singing a classic Disney song...maybe the Mickey Mouse Club Theme (???) or "When you Wish upon a Star"... This room is the most amazing of all of the room, and constantly changes...the final aspect of the ride is a AA Tinkerbell comes up in front of the vehicle, waves her wand over the vehicle, there is a burst of fiber optics and maybe even real fireworks, and you burst back into the load area.
Okay, I dream big...but this attraction...would bring the crowds!
And the merchandising would be amazing for Disney from this ride.
I say, tear out the 20 K and put this in!
