Nicolas Cage begs Disney to build 'National Treasure' ride.

^Would Juliana enjoy it?

^Do you have to register with a city when you visit or only if you live there?

[terrancew_hod]

I'd love to see a ride based on the new movie. Seriously. How awesome would a ride based on kidnapping the president to find a book of secrets be?

 

Sally could build it. Shoot the kidnappers...

I think Disney needs a "My Dinner with Andre" restaurant--or maybe a "My Breakfast with Blassie" coffee shop.

I'd rather shoot Cage. I cannot stand him as an actor.

[BarryH]

No, we must have "High School Musical: The Ride" first!

AHHHHH CREEPY!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think it could work, MGM could finally have a Indiana Jones type ride while not getting rid of that stage show they like so much there.

[BeemerBoy]

Or they could just have a ride that encompasses his entire body of work. That way, any audio-animatronic of him could just be the same in every scene throughout the ride.

[cfc]

^I look forward to the AA scenes from "Wild at Heart"--particularly Laura Dern.

[RIP Psyclone]

You're a funny guy, Larry.

[freestylenut]

I doubt Disney is going to theme a ride after such a minor movie franchise.

 

You mean like Twister and Earthquake deserve their own Rides/attractions? Does anyone even remember Earthquake?

 

And in quite a few years, many can argue Aerosmith doesn't deserve their own Coaster either...but that can easily be re-themed.

[RIP Psyclone]

^When they're dead it would be a little weird to see them supposedly live in studio.

[ECZenith]

While I enjoyed the first movie, have yet to see the sequel, I'm willing to bet an attraction based off National Treasure is extremely unlikely. Indiana Jones is somewhat similar to National Treasure and I don't believe WDI has ever taken a suggestion from an actor for the design of a new attraction.

 

Good luck, Mr. Cage I would love to see a National Treasure ride, I just don't think it's too likely it'll happen.

[bdstrom]

My vote is NO.

 

The reason is Nicholas Cage is probably one of the ugliest actor I've known and he can't act, period.

 

I'd go with High School High Musical: The Ride over Nicholas Cage's ride!

Cage begs Disney for 'National Treasure' theme park ride

Malaysia Sun

Tuesday 18th December, 2007

(ANI)

 

 

 

Washington, Dec 18 : 'City Of Angels' star Nicolas Cage wants Disneyland to build a new ride based on the actor's movie franchise National Treasure.

 

The 43-year-old star is a huge fan of theme parks and has a desire for his own rollercoaster.

 

Disney produced 'National Treasure' and new sequel 'Book of Secrets' and Cage is hopeful that they will grant him his wish.

 

"My biggest thrill would be if Disney was so happy with the movie that they gave it a ride," Contact music quoted Cage, as saying.

 

"Because I love amusement parks and I love Disneyland and I would love to see a National Treasure ride. That would be a dream come true for me."

 

I don't see why the article calls this "begging." He said it's his biggest thrill. He isn't quoted saying "Pleeeeeese make this a ride Disney! PUH-LEEEESE!"

 

Regardless, the movie doesn't need its own ride.

[sfmmrules!]

That would be so cool. I love the National Treasure films. Disney can make it like an Indiana Jones/Revenge Of The Mummy type ride. I can picture a pyramid with a coaster like the Mummy & the story is your looking for the Book Of Secrets! It could really work! It should be Disneylands next big E-Ticket Attraction. I can't wait.

[ECZenith]

^ But Disneyland already has an Indiana Jones e ticket and with all the new DCA rides on the way and projects on the back burner for DL (Star Tours 2, new Peoplemover, etc.) it's nothing to get your hopes up about, unfortunately.

[alpengeist04]

My vote is NO.

 

The reason is Nicholas Cage is probably one of the ugliest actor I've known and he can't act, period.

 

I'd go with High School High Musical: The Ride over Nicholas Cage's ride!

 

God help us if they ever put in a High School Musical ride.

 

I'll take a Indy or National Treasure ride for WDW/MGM, thank you.

[RIP Psyclone]

High School Musical is really Disney's worst franchise ever. I was hoping Vanessa Hudgens' nude pics would have been the end, but noooooooo. Walt Disney would have fired her, no question.

[the sound]

^^ "Ride a coaster whilst singing along to the crap songs of a really boring and pointless movie!" The only thing is, it would probably be really popular, a lot of people really like those movies.

 

I doubt Disney is going to theme a ride after such a minor movie franchise.

 

Not only that, but the movie is really bad and boring anyway.

[sixflagsguy5]

I think that it wouldn't be a good idea, because the movie will probably only be popular for a short amount of time. It's not a classic movie that people will watch often years from now, it's just a movie that kids like. I kind of like the movie, but it's unbearably lame at many parts. Basically my summary of the movie is a guy goes around feeling random landmarks with his hands and somehow understands where to go next.

 

Maybe if he buys the ride for them they'll add it. I doubt they'll build a ride just because a rich actor decided that he wants a coaster.

[coolhandluke]

National Treasure grossed $347.5 million. And it has a highly anticipated sequel. Haunted Mansion grossed $106.something million. No sequel.

 

I doubt Disney is going to theme a ride after such a minor movie franchise.

Define "minor"...? Yeah, it's recent, and it might lose some popularity along the way, but it isn't vital that a ride like that have a strong connection to the movie. IMO, a ride about exploring American landmarks as maps for treasure, regardless of movie connections, would be popular. In the beginning, it would get hype because of the link to the movie. If the movie fades, the ride still stays popular because of the interesting concept/plot. My thoughts...

[coasterdude28]

I saw National Treasure: Book of Secrets last night at a pre-screening. I could definatley see a heavily themed Disney ride based off of the movies. There are so many things that could be done relating to the movie. The ending of Book of Secrets would make for a very intense ride experience.

[ECZenith]

I suppose you could always slap down a Raging Spirits clone and put a couple of movie vehicles in the queue.

 

Hey it worked for Paris' Indy.

[larrygator]

High School Musical is really Disney's worst franchise ever.

 

How are you defining worst franchise? You do realize that pretty much every pre-teen girl in the country loves High School Musical and buys pretty much anything associated with the movie.

 

If you don't enjoy the movie, that's fine since you are not in the target audience.

 

However, movie studios equate success with profits and HSM certainly rakes in the bucks.

 

For the record, I have never seen HSM nor do I plan but my 10 year old neice loves it and my best friend's daughters watch it repeatedly. Therefore, I have purchased HSM merchandise for them.
