Calling all Imagineers!

[TheWizofDiz]

Ok, it's our turn to put on our Imagineering caps and add a new attraction,shop or dining experience to one of the 4 theme parks. What park, where in the park would it go and what would you design to go there that would be a real winner?

I would like to see a Haunted Mansion dining experience, obviously near the HM, with your servers dressed in HM cast member attire. Also low light levels, sound of thunder from time to time, the cry of the raven...different portaits on the walls that "watch you" eat...would have to be table service. Tombstone-ish menus...maybe raise the old Skyway station in Fantasyland and build up there...you would not need any real windows, so a view is not an issue. You could enter from stairs or old-looking elevator that lead up the cemetary hill...

I have a grand scheme for a ride for EPCOT. It would encompass all of the messages laid out in the other pavillions, into on great big dark ride.

I would call it Horizons.

with the work that went into the dream suites, I would love to see the effects added to some Hollywood Hotel rooms.

Old fashioned Belhops.
Ghosts randomly staring back at you from the mirrors.
twinkling Twightlight zone lights on the ceilings.
Lightning effects in the hallways.

Elevators that drop really quick...
wait. maybe that last one isn't a good idea.

I would like to see an Australia section in AK. They could have a "walkabout trek" with koalas, kangaroos, wombats, tassie devils, kookaburras, etc. Meat pie stands selling Aussie beer and wine. Aboriginal art in gift shops. There are so many possibilities and I think it would be a great fit.

I also always thought it would sort of cool if the Studios opened up a Star Wars themed "pub" near Star Tours. They could have that alien band from the original Star Wars movie (where Luke and Obi One meet Han Solo for the first time) playing-- kind of like how Sonny Eclipse plays in Cosmic Ray's at MK.

Mary poppins is way overdue for her ride/attraction

Now we are starting to come up with some great ideas! Let's keep it going!

[iDisney]

Although it is not an in park experience, it is based off of one. I posted this awhile back in another thread.

I have always wished that they would build a resort based on the Hollywood Tower Hotel, prior to the lightning strike. All CM's will be wearing the proper HTH uniforms, they just won't have to use the creepy voice!

The Pools

There would be two pools featured at the resort. The first would be an indoor pool that is just off of the main lobby, perhaps encased in glass like a conservatory.

The second would be an outdoor pool out in the garden and courtyards and would have ambient theme music played throughout the area.

Dining

The signature restaurant of the hotel would of course be The Tip Top Club. Live music from the era would be featured every evening. They would have an extensive wine list and serve gourmet steaks, seafood, soups, salads, appetizers, and deserts.

There would also be another table service restaurant (perhaps family style or a buffet) for those looking for something less extravagant than the Tip Top Club. This could perhaps even be a character dining experience with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto all dressed in the bellhop costumes! Your typical breakfast, lunch, and dinner fare will be served here.

There is also a café/bistro style restaurant near the outdoor pool yet somewhat offset, minimizing the noise. They will serve coffee (not Nescafe!), ice cream, as well as sandwiches and salads. There will be both indoor and outdoor seating.
With a hotel of this magnitude, you cannot forget about room service! They will offer everything from romantic dinner packages, to gourmet in-room dining, to burgers and fries.

Rooms

Standard rooms will be decorated in period style carpets, fabrics, wall coverings, and tile (bathrooms). There will be either one or two beds, as usual. The furniture will all be period style consisting of: beds, a table, chairs, armoire, lamps, and nightstands. The telephone will be antique style (with push buttons and a data port!) and will have the antique sounding ringer. There will also be an LCD television (to save energy!), but it will be cleverly disguised as an old console television.

Deluxe and Suite rooms will be similar, just more….deluxe! They will have desks, sofas, and other things associated with deluxe rooms.

Amenities

The hotel will obviously have a concierge.

There will also be a state of the art business center as well as a fitness center. Of course all equipment will be disguised and/or re-themed to look as if it fits in!

Free wireless Internet access all throughout the property

An award-winning spa, hair and nail salons

Tennis courts

I would love to see something like the Tip Top Club implemented in DHS. If they could incorporate it into the ride as is, that would be great!

All great thoughts!! I really do wish that Disney will expand AK

[HeyMrsL!ItsThisGuy!]

a while ago i drew this up, just some pictures and a track layout for....

Roger Rabbit's Maroon Cartoons Studio Tour!

basically it starts out like a studio tram tour, until an animatronic Roger Rabbit replaces your tour guide and driver and takes you on a crazy tour through the studio and Toon town!

I also came up with...
The Indiana Jones Action Movie Backlot!

I came up with a decent photoshop for that one, basically just an extra land in H.S. that included both the stunt show AND the ride!

yes?

Thats a fantastic idea,why didnt they think of that??

[bertasso59]

I would like to see dark ride based on the classic three;Mickey,Donald and Goofy.Maybe a work-based ride with autoanimotonic recreations of some of the trio's many different professions in classic toons.Working at Pete's Garage,at the circus,being ghost hunters and then my favorite-a dizzying view as the boys tackle being clock cleaners.

Also,(thought of this while the MGM contract was in effect)for DHS a Pink Panther dark ride with the panther outwitting the Inspector.And a 3D interactive James Bond film with the audience as Bond trying to find and diffuse a bomb in say 12 minutes.

EPCOT-Italy A ride called Leonardo's
Adventure. You ride in Leonardo Da Vinci's helicopter and see Da Vinci working on his many paintings, and other works that he did. the ride would be like Peter Pan's, with the same you are above the scenes.
