| What movie to become new ride? What Disney movie would you like to become a ride? Do you have any specifics? Do you know what your ride should be like? I always thought the Aladdin ride should have been more like a sim or a roller coaster where you rode the magic carpet through all the danger and peril of the collapsing cave of wonders. I also think a Monster, Inc. roller coaster through the closet door warehouse would be cool. Anyone else? |

| Re: What movie to become new ride? The Monsters, Inc. coaster would be neat, but I don't know if I could hang onto a door for that long! I had hoped for 20,000 Leagues would be replaced with an Atlantis attraction, where you travel via sub, then exit into Atlantis and ride those vehicles! And I definitely think there should be a 3D moving villians attraction, where you get in a vehicle and try to save the world from the scariest villians from a lot of Disney movies. It would be like Spiderman at IOA (because that format is awesome, Disney would benefit from having it!!) only with Disney villians. -Jose Carioca |

| Re: What movie to become new ride? A Little Mermaid hydro-coaster... Part water ride, part coaster ride. It would be a "family ride," with lots of theming (think Splash Mountain). It would have both water sequences (under the sea...), and land sequences. Fun topic! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Michelle BTW, Joey -- I would LOVE to see a Villains' ride. Very cool. Allison -- Monsters' would also make a very cute themed ride. Love that movie. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] |

| Re: What movie to become new ride? I'm with Brant....I think Monsters Inc should be a ride...but not really a coaster, maybe more like Star Tours...or even like the Spiderman ride at IOA. |

| Re: What movie to become new ride? This is a bit off-topic, but... We saw A Beautiful Mind a few nights ago, and at the very end of the closing credits, Universal includes a promo for Universal Studios. My immediate reaction was, "Let's see them make a ride out of this movie!" [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Allison, I love the idea of the Monsters, Inc. ride. Heck, they could even use a variation on the Peter Pan's Flight ride mechanism. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Meantime, there already is an Aladdin sim ride as you describe, at DisneyQuest. Check it out (but bring your motion sickness medication). |

| Re: What movie to become new ride? Being a coaster fanatic, I love all of the above mentioned ideas, but I'd really like to see Fantasyland expanded greatly - perhaps include a dark ride attraction or two for some of the more recent movies (Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Hunchback, Pocahontas, etc) - or maybe even a combo ride with rooms devoted to a different movie. I'd also love to see a 20,000 Leagues area comeback - it just SCREAMS Atlantis! I'd also love to see a Matterhorn attraction in a new Swiss pavillion in Epcot - but a more intense Matterhorn (ala Hulk from Universal!) If we only ran Disney.... |

| Re: What movie to become new ride? It looks like Mickey's PhilharMagic may have some of those new characters, when it opens next year in Fantasyland. You're absolutely right about the Atlantis tie-in with the 20,000 Leagues lagoon - it'd feel just right. But if the real problem with the lagoon is structural/technical, who knows if they would ever actually do something. :\ Now, when it comes to Matterhorn.... Heck, it doesn't have to be Switzerland. I'd go for Mt. Kilimanjaro for an African nation, Mt. Everest for Nepal or nearby nation, Maccu Pichu for Peru.... Give me a mountain, any mountain, as long as it has snow on top! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] But please, nothing more intense than California Screamin' (at DCA)- I couldn't walk for 5 minutes after that ride! |

| Re: What movie to become new ride? Yup, a mountain, any mountain for me too [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I really like that Kilimanjaro idea though if it could be pulled off. It'd make such a cool view off in the distance from Harambe. In this case, maybe the movie could follow the ride. A great African adventure centered around Kilimanjaro shouldn't be too tough to write, right? Or maybe some kind of Lion King tie- in? [ 04-23-2002, 10:57 AM: Message edited by: mattjs ] |
