What's the Next E-Ticket Ride???

[sconti]

The question of what's the next e-ticket ride going to be has obviously been going around for some time now. But, now that Mission: Space is apparently starting its testing phase, it is hard not to think what will be next for the WDW property.

-What do people want to see built for the next e-ticket ride?
-Which park deserves the next e-ticket ride?
-Will they use an existing ride technology or introduce something new?

Excited to see what people think!

Animal Kingdom needs the most help. I'm hoping for a new land that incorporates a new e-ticket attraction, amongst other things, but I'd settle for just a new e-ticket. As for the type of ride, who knows. A wooden roller coaster would be really cool, or a ride that uses the Journey to the Center of the Earth technology would be fine. I think an elevated tram or people mover through parts of the park would be good also.

If Animal Kingdom doesnt get the next e-ticket, I will be very disappointed. The rest of the parks are set for the most part... Magic Kingdom and MGM especially. Animal Kingdom needs something that people will want to ride over and over again. Dinosaur is okay but not really re-ridable. That's the problem with AK if you do it once you have done it a thousand times. A woodie would be great but I dont know how theme-able it would be. This Forbidden Mountain rumor may be just what AK needs...

BEASTLY KINGDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope, I have my fingers crossed

The next E-ticket that will go into WDW is a story that just gets more and more convulted by the minute. If Mission Space is a success, look for the next E-ticket to go into Epcot no questions asked. Epcot needs to boost it's yearly attendance to the tune of over 2 million to attain the levels of success it usually has. OTH, if Mission Space bombs (or if it produces no real growth for Epcot), Epcot will probably not get anything else, and the possibility of any major attraction coming to WDW would get pretty slim (but under this scenario the spotlight would be given to AK). Of course, if a corporate sponsor were to come in and offer to pay for a major attraction entirely, we would see construction start immediately regardless of the park, but that is pretty much an impossibility.

That being said, come concepts to look out for include a Soarin' clone for Epcot and a new Austrailia area at AK. Who in the hell knows when or if we will ever see them, but those are pretty popular right now...

 

[sconti]

I like the idea of a Soarin' clone coming to WDW.

Also, what about the old rumor of the Indiana Jones Adventure from DL coming to either Adventureland in the MK or replacing the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular in MGM?

It would be great to get new Star Tours and Body Wars movies as well. I know there is a lot of politics involved with Star Tours, but it would be great.

What technologies from Tokyo DisneySea could be brought to WDW? The ride inside the volcano (Journey to the Center of the Earth???) looked awesome on the Travel Channel special.

What are the rumors behind Forbidden Mountain? I haven't heard anything regarding that. Could someone please provide details. Thanks!

Also, what are the rumors for an Australia area at AK?

 

[Wishingtree]

There was a rumor that I saw a while back about a weather pavillion in Epcot between The Land and Living Seas that would include a version of the Stormrider ride from Tokyo Disney Seas. But I agree with Pheneix, only if Mission Space is a big hit. Plus, it would help balance the crowds by drawing people in the opposite direction of TT and M:S.

AK is the park in need of a big attraction, but I won't hold my breath for Beastly Kingdom.

Forbidden Mountain is a rumor that I read about on Screamscape... and though I know it's reputation I have to lean to the fact that this seems VERY possible. It's suppose to go in the Asia section of Animal Kingdom and be along the lines of Big Thunder... only with a slightly more cohesive story-line (what that would be I don't know). I'm thinking a nice combination between Big Thunder and DisneyLand's Matterhorn. It is also suppose to be the biggest mountain in the WDW Mountain range if it is built.

My knowledge of this is rather limited so if anybody else has any info it would be greatly appreciated.

A woodie would be great but I dont know how theme-able it would be.

Oh...I think with enough money, the imagineers can theme anything.:lol: A woodie themed to Tarzan or The Jungle Book, part of it outdoors, other parts inside a BIG show building. Some of it could be fast and thrilling, and have other parts where the coaster slows down enough for you to follow the scenery and the story. I'm confident they could come up with something to make me happy.:animwink:

I think everyone agrees that Beastly Kingdom should be the next thing Disney phases in. Animal Kingdom has some great rides, but not enough. I think a wooden rollercoaster would be could because Disney has never tackled something like that. But it just doesn't seem like something they would do. Look at the California Screamin'.....they made a metal coaster that was supposed to look like a wooden one.

I guess since the ideas for brand new rides are endless, it would only be possible to guess the next "clone" ride at WDW. And I would have to say Indiana Jones. I would like to see a brand new ride idea for WDW, but I just have the feeling that Indy will be coming to WDW sooner or later (and I hear that another Indy movie is in the owrks, another reason to add the ride).

The ride would probably still be slightly different than the others at DL, Tokyo, and DLP, as they already all differ from eachother. (But in the end, you will still probably be dodging that big boulder. )

I would say the better place to put this ride would be in AK, not Adventureland, mostly because AK needs a ride, but also because the scenery of AK almost already looks like the setting for an Indiana Jones movie. Mabey the theme of this Indy ride would have something to do with an animal. Mabey a mythical creature (Beastly Kingdom?).

My 2 cents on the matter:

Re: The Woodie Coaster--I thought that Disney is hesitant to do outdoor coasters due to the weather--the very reason for the indoor and mountain coasters the already have in the parks. Don't they already face shut-downs on Test Track when it rains (much to guests' total frustration)? Do they really want to potentially do the same thing for AK? Also what about the noise of a wooden coaster (and they are pretty noisy) disturbing the animals, let alone disturbing the serene setting of the park?

Re: Indiana Jones Ride at AK--doubt that they'd put it in AK w/o removing Dinosaur! It's the same ride experience, just much better done with Indy...or by previous definition: people ride Dinosaur once and are satisfied. People ride Indy all day at DL if the line accomodates, and if the line is long (like it normally is) most people try to ride it a second time.

As far as next E-ticket at WDW: I'm torn between AK and Epcot getting the next one after M:S. But I'm leaning towards it having to go into AK just to help that park out. Then Disney could alternate for a while, adding E-ticket attractions to Epcot, then AL, then Epcot, then AK (and they don't have to be thrill rides, just great conceived rides) until attendance sufficiently increases at both parks .

With that said, each new ride of the E-ticket ilk needs to increase a park's gate or it will be a long stretch of time before we see the next one. Disney needs a hit in M:S for corporate as well as all us Disney park fans.

Last, my prediction for next attraction--a "Soaring..." attraction for either AK or Epcot. Seems too easy of an E-ticket for them to do, and it's the only true originally conceived success (as opposed to recycled success) at DCA.

But I'd love to see Beasty Kingdom or a Weather Pavilion!

Isn't it about time they let us know what's in store for 2004-5 additions?

Ooooohhhhhhhhh, that's right. Forgot about that one. Well, I still say that the Indy rides are greatly themed, so mabey they could put it in AK, but make the ride completely different from the others (including Dionsaur). Or they could just put it in MGM and make it more themed to an actual Indy movie.

Disneynutcase. Your forgetting about BTMRR. In accuality it is a steel coaster that is constructed in a conventional way. The only difference with a regular Theme park and Disney is with BTMRR you have the mountain theming that the coaster runs thru. To construct the mountain facade they use renforced steel cages with wire mesh built in sections to apply the concreat to the wire mesh on these cages. The cages surround the entire footprint of the track foundations and in the finished product it appears that the track is supported by the rock facade, but infact the track has independant support hidden under the facade. Also it is an outside coaster.

 

[Disneynutcase]

I didn't forget. I know that BTMRR is an outside coaster with only a few indoor moments. But don't they also shut it down whenever it rains?

Maybe it's all heresay and rumor, but I thought that Florida gets thunder & lightning storms, and that there was some kind of logic due to lightning to why they shut TT and BTMRR down whenever a drizzle starts during summer time.

I've never been to WDW during summer, just during colder times (which, except for one trip, means a usual 70-80 degree w/ low humidity--love it!). I think in the handful of trips I've made to Florida, that it only rained on us once and that was during winter '83 when there was a record cold snap. I remember people from cold states (Iowa, Nebraska, Michigan) down for football Bowl games that it was warmer back where they came from.

As jmarc63 said, BTMRR is an outdoor coaster, so I'm not sure how much of a factor weather would be. As for noise, that's why I suggested parts of it go through a show building of some sort, which would also make it easier to theme. Now for a question... does'nt Busch Gardens have animals, and if they do, how do they cope with the noise of 5 or 6 coasters? I realize it's not Disney, but they have to account for the safety and comfort of their animals.

Busch Gardens can pull off because they have laid the park out so that the animals are nowhere near the rollercoasters. If you look at it the thrill rides are all a good distance away from any of the animal attractions. That's one of the minor problems with AK... they have animals all over the place, in each section of the park. The only concievable areas for a coaster would be Dinoland-USA, and the side of Camp Minnie-Mickey that is closest to the parking lot. The savahna takes up the rest of the area and building a coaster in that area wouldn'b be too kind to the animals. Dinoland is the most crowded part of the park, the last thing they need is another E-Ticket, and Camp Minnie-Mickey isnt exactly where I would put a big coaster.

Oh, and I saw the One Man's Dream at MGM and on the Time Line that runs through the building I saw the Animal Kingdom logo WITHOUT THE DRAGON. I think that is a good sign that Beastly may not be happening.......

I can exclusively reveal the next E ride will be a subteranian high speed in the dark water coaster based character meet n greet with on board pin sales facility and full merchandising support. It will be themed exclusively around the concept Oliver whereby an evil character called Michael emptys unsuspecting peoples wallets in the shortest time space, which means it will have a very high capacity. It is planned to locate these rides in all parks world wide.



If you build it they will come.......................................

COASTER!?!?!? I heard coaster! I'm there man......

 

[Disneynutcase]

I've heard about that ride, too!:sohappy:

Except that Paul Pressler is working on cutting its budget, so now the animatronics will be replaced by cardboard cut-outs, the ride will be 40 seconds long, there will only be one real drop, you only get to high-five Ratigan as you pass by (that's the meet & greet) and it will have structural damage within 18 months due to cutrate engineering.

But I heard the pin sales facility and souvinier shop will rock!
