If you were a Disney Imagineer

If you could make any attraction what would it be? And where would it be? I would love to see something in Fantasy Land in MK with Pinochhio and Lady and the Tramp. I would also love to see an attraction with Monsters Inc and Bugs Life in HS.
It would be kind of cool if they could do something with soarin that would be like up. Like the ballons are taking you on the ride over the water and such.

And how cool would it be to have a Jungle Book ride in AK! I could go on and on. So what are some of your favorite movie/characters that are missing?

I would make some kind of Mt Fuji coaster in Japan, I know space is limited there. Or even go a little extreme and have a Venice Canal rapids ride in Italy.

I would do a 101 Dalmations themed roller coaster in either MK or DHS. The ending scenes where Cruella chases the truck with the Dalmatians would be a good theme for a similar roller coaster.
I also like the idea of the mine car chase in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. That would fit in great at DHS.

There's lots of things I'd do.
I would try to create WallE that acted like the talking trash can, but he went around scooping up trash through the park.
I would love to see autopia rethemed to Cars.
I would like to see Mr. Toad come back.
I'd like to see a tribute to Ub, the 9 old men, and Roy.
I'd like to see a 3-d of Enchanment.

I have always thought a Monster's Inc. coaster would be great in Tomorrowland or somewhere. You know, the kind where you ride suspended beneath the track...like the end of Monster's Inc. where Mike and Sulley and Boo are riding the doors?

Ever since I saw that movie I have thought that something along those lines would be a great attraction - pretty obvious, but still would be great.

I would love to see some sort of Wall-E attraction (maybe an environmental thing at Innoventions or a Star Tours like ride). I would LOVE if there was a meet-and-greet with the character as well.

Is there a parade float with a scene/characters from UP? I think having some sort of the replica of the balloons in DS would be AWESOME!

I also think that Aladdin would make for a great indoor dark ride... the flying carpets are boring... they could do something much cooler with the concept of a flying carpet.

I am sure I will think of more later... this is a fun thread!

Wow!!! You all have such amazing ideas!!! I wished you all worked at Disney so those rides could really exsist!

Ditto the Monsters Inc. coaster idea. I've thought that would be a great attraction ever since I saw the movie.

I would also re-theme the speedway to an indoor/outdoor "Cars" theme, so you could enjoy the night-time neon of Radiator Springs, and the movie soundtrack. I'd change the cars to electric power with sound effects for engines. I don't care that Cars doesn't fit the TomorrowLand theme. The little kids who are basically the only guests who enjoy the speedway now could care less that "Cars" isn't future themed. Besides, the Speedway as it exists now is about as "tomorrow" as a Model T.

Agreed and the speedway is really a transition from Tomorrowland to Fantasyland so Cars would make a great fit

I had an idea for an elephant ride in AK. Imagine full-size elephant figures sitting on top of simulators like those used in the Dinosaur ride.

The elephants would be ladened with saddles, boxes, and other supplies in such a way that riders would not be able to see the animals feet. To get on the ride, the "supplies" on one side would fold down creating a ramp. Inside would be the look and shape of a real elephants back. About 4 riders would straddle the back of the elephant and with the "supply" ramp folded back up, look like they are sitting on the elephant. Handicapped riders would ride in elephants with a flat floor or traditional bench seats.

These elephants would be as realistic as possible - cast members would interact with them during the loading process as if they were real, calling them by name.

The ride could be a simple story about a team of volunteers taking supplies to a remote village. The train of about 10 "elephants" would walk slowly, but go up and down hills, along the edge of a cliff, and even walk along the edge of the Safari, providing a chance of seeing live animals. Glimpses of the elephants would be visible from within the parks - but only enough to peak interest and not reveal that the elephants are "leg less".

An alternative is to create the ride in two parts. The first part would be family oriented and have the story above. After the elephants arrive in the remote village, the families dismount and their ride ends. Families could then explore the village and a short trail would take them back to their strollers. New riders would then mount the elephants for a more thrilling ride. This one would go back to the starting point, but encounter problems that cause the elephants to break into a run, go over a high, creaky bridge, and other less family friendly stuff.

One day I hope to create a virtual version of this attraction (I know 3D and can animate). Disney will never make it, since it isn't their idea, but I'd love to at least take a virtual ride on it.

I would work on a South America section to Animal Kingdom. Amazon/jungle themed. I would love to see something from Emperor's New Groove going on there as well.

[AdventurerKim]

I want a 3D movie or ride with Pixar characters. Toy Story Mania and Buzz Lightyear are not enough! I would definitely bring back Mr. Toad!

[BigBaloo]

AK: some sort of JungleBook ride..... Anything Please!!!!!

DS: Always thought some sort of attraction paying tribute to the great music of Disney. Soooo many classic songs

I would like to see a restaurant themed after the "House of Mouse". They could have rotating characters, and ones that are not commonly seen. The waiters could wear a tuxedo-like costume. They could show clips of all those wonderful Mickey and Minnie cartoons, and have a stage where they could have shows.

[ColeeC]

I'd love to see some sort of indoor coaster/wild mouse with a "down the rabbit hole" theme: once underground, all the sights are suddenly ten times too big. but i love all the other ideas too!

[crltkcagle]

That is a great idea! My kids would love that!

I would love to see a Tigger Attraction somewhere in Fantasy Land. Could be a Roller coaster or something to deal with bouncing. Tigger is just my favorite character.

I know this is silly, but my friends and I love having afternoon tea. I was wondering what it would be like to have a small eatery serving tea sandwiches and tea (or punch for small ones). The sandwiches would be simple tuna salad, egg salad, ham and cheese, or roast beef...simple, straight-forward things that kids wouldn't be afraid to eat. The theme could be an Alice in Wonderland...Mad Tea Party kinda thing...by the Tea cups. I be little girls and their mom's would love it...kinda like the Bippity-Boppity Boutique. I don't know...maybe Mrs. Potts could be a character that drops in from time to time?
