If you were in charge of Disneyland for a year . . .

[KGA29]

-Update the Star Tours movie

-Fix the Peoplemover and create an improved Rocket Rods

-Race the Matterhorn tracks

-Refurb Indy with new special effects

-Add a Single Rider line to Space and bring it back on Indy

-Create a new parade

-Get rid of Astro Orbitor

-Open up a new restaurant show in the current location of Aladdin's Oasis

-Open up the Sleeping Beauty Castle walkthrough

-Put in a new sit-down character meal in the old motorboat area

 

Just to name a few. Although I think everything I mentioned would be possible to do in only a year's time.

1.Bring back People Mover-track it from Tomorrowland to Hollywood Backlot/TOT...have it move people.

2. Redesign the Monorail track through DCA, have a station around Paradise Pier.

3. Treat both parks as one-build a WIIIIDE pedestrian overpass over the plaza between DCA and Disneyland. They can keep both gates if they want.

4. Move Toontown to around Backlot somewhere, make it a part of backlot.

5. Design a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ride using that gantry theme.

6. Sell turkey legs EVERYWHERE.

Make the parks one gate. (well, 2 parks, pay onces)

(Treat each park like a huge land)

 

Extend Monorail, make a stop in DCA.

 

Make another way (tunnel, brige, aquatrax...) to jump between "parks"

 

Everest-like ride in DCA parking lot, theme as trip to find gold set ?1849.

 

More effects in Space Mountian, Update/fix rides

 

Use this area for something

Something, anything!

^I can see stuff filling up that space in that picture. I don't think space is the reason for them not building something new, though.

[HCONerd]

Oh, I would do so much.

 

1. I would make Tomorrowland more future-like by adding more neon lights, painting more things white/chrome, etc. I would add more effects to Space Mountain, kind of like the effects at Hong Kong's Space Mountain. I would replace Innoventions with an Aliean Encounter ride, and I would put the PeopleMover back up on its tracks. I would update Honey I Shrunk the Audience with a whole new show themed to the movie (was it a movie?) Tron.

 

2. In Adventureland, I would do a MAJOR rehaul on Indiana Jones and have all the effects working again. I would maybe add some new effects here and there just to spice it up. The Aladdin restraunt thing would be removed and a themed flat ride would go there, similar to Tomb Raider: Firefall.

 

3. I would completeley retheme New Orleans Square to be a pirates themed land. Since eveything in New Orleans Square seems to be transforming into pirates-related things, I think this would be a pretty smart descision. The open area behind Pirate's Lair (formerly Tom's Sawyer Island) would be home to a new roller coaster called Fire Mountain. It would be kind of similar to Mystery Mine at Dollywood.

 

4. Last of all, I would refurbish all the buildings and old rides in Toontown, since they seem to be slowly againg and looking worse and worse every year.

 

 

That is all.

I'm loving all the people saying to build a big coaster such as a big B&M hyper or inverted...I just don't see that happening anytime soon. As you might know, Disney parks are really aimed at the families, not just Disneyland either. Now, I'm not too sure about California Screamin but I don't remember any of the coaster at WDW having height limits over 48", so I think adding any attraction with a height limit over 48" let alone one as high as 54" could really kill that aim to the families. I just don't see a B7M at Disneyland anytime soon, but that's just my opinion.

 

What I think would be some smart and realistic ideas for new rides and attractions, include:

 

1) A Test Track type ride that would be themed around the Cars movie.

2) Some type or ride, maybe a simulator of some sort, themed with the Incredibles.

3) A Mourer Sohne spinning coaster similar to Crush's Coaster.

 

Those are just a few quick ideas, I'll try to think of some more and post them later.

Sell it to Six Flags for far under it's net-worth, but far more money than I had before I sold it.

 

Then I could laugh at all the Disney Fanatics crying. And the kids!

A B&M wouldn't need to have a 54" height limit. Alpengeist used to have a 52" height limit, and Apollo's Chariot and SDC's Wildfire have 52" height limits. And 52" really isn't that high, I'm sure almost everyone who would want to ride a major coaster like a B&M could ride one. And wasn't Disney at one point planning on putting a Vekoma SLC in at one of the WDW resort parks? One of those would have the same height restriction as a B&M and are arguably more intense rides.

[J-ELLO]

Call me crazy but I would just reopen people mover and sit back and enjoy the s***load of money I would be making.

[jjeerr]

^^They could probably get B&M to make a 48in Hyper.

 

But...was Disney really thinking to put in a SLC...must of been during the Eisner (sp?) years.....
