Title: Discoveryland Idea!!
Post by: lil-shawn on August 22, 2009, 02:19:30 PM
hey guy´s,
usually sunday is my big disney and imagineering day, but today
i was thinking a lot about our discoveryland and the bad work they did
in the last few years. am talking about space mountain mission 2 and buzz lighyear (don´t
get me wrong, i like this attraction but it dosent belong in this land).
i think if they would bring back space mountain, from the earth to the moon, just with
new effects, new trains it would be the best.
also i think they should not bring in star tours 2 remove this attraction and put it into the stodios.
also they should remove the train station, honey i shrunk the audiance, star traiders shop and pizza planet and they have enough room for a nice expansion that will belong to the theme.
and here is my idea what they could bring into this wonderfull themed land.
 
(//http://www.LupiUpload.de/110103/iuRvxewe.jpg)

So this is Discoveryland without, star tours, train station, star traders, pizza planet and honesy i shrunk the audiance.

(//http://www.LupiUpload.de/110103/2No8f3w.jpg)

This is the new train station for discoveryland, it will sit on the same place as it is now, maybe a bit further.

(//http://www.LupiUpload.de/110103/pHYRh7n2.jpg)
(//http://www.LupiUpload.de/110103/Htvhbp1l.jpg)

Discovery gifts will be the new star traders shop in front of the new train station.

(//http://www.LupiUpload.de/110103/n4ikT073.jpg)

Stormraider will go where now star tours ect. is. but not as close on the trainstation like it is now.

(//http://www.LupiUpload.de/110103/dWjN7TIs.jpg)

Aquatopia will go where pizza planet is now.

the last yellow piece is where they schould bring the old cocept to life, the 20 000 league under the sea restaurant. this is discoveryland based on jules vern and leonardo da vinci and
i think this land schould stay like this.
and last buzz lightyear should also go to the studios and there thy could bring a dark ride based on jules verne in 80 days around the world.

hope you guy´s like this idea. and sorry for my bad english!!

Yep, this would really be great! Changes like this would make Discoveryland the best land in the park again, in my opinion. I really love the Port Discovery area of TDS. Anything from there would be welcome in our Discoveryland! I particularly love the look of Aquatopia.

Love your ideas. =D>  

Discoveryland is (well, was) my favourite area in the park and I can see them added half of the stuff you have in your plans. :P

I still want a submarine voyage in Discoveryland though  :-k

Post by: lil-shawn on August 23, 2009, 03:29:00 PM
thanks guy´s for your positive coments.
today i came up with a new attraction, that would be unique
and just for DLP discoveryland.

this attraction wil replace buzz, so that he can move to the studios, to his friends
in TSPL. so lets beginn with the attraction, hope i can write it so that everyone
understand what am talking about  :)

The Timetravelers:

Preshow.
Your in the workshop of leonardo da vinci, he tell us that he found out how to
travel through the time, and that he build a machine who can transport many people,
to every place in every time. he shows us a few concepts, explain how it will work ect.
then he invites us to test his new machine, and travel with him throgh the time...

the doors open and we step into a big room. in the middle of the room is a big platform,
sorrounded by screens and water. (i don´t know if anyone saw the new attraction at the niagara falls.) its a new 360° cinema generation. the platform is like the one in armageddon.
it moves to the movie and the room has a lot of special effects like, heat, colt, water, fogg, fire ect. this attraction would host all this effects to make it the ultimate 360° cinema experiance.

The Show.
After the dor closes and everyone is on his place, leonardo da vinci is on a screen to tell everyone to hold on and explains the safety stuff. when he is done he says that we traverl not to the time where jules verne lived. the jurney beginns and on all screens you see the years goes by till we are in jules verne time...
jules verne welcomes us. he tell us that he will take a jurney with us to the future like he imagine it. the citys will look like the one on the posters at the discovery acarde. the last city is paris and our trip ends at discoveryland.

this is just a little sample of the whole attraction, but  think this would be a very good, and unique attraction to our park and it is something original nothing toon based.
also it would fit the theme of the land with all the other attractions like stormrider and aquatopia it will make this land one of the best in our disney park.

what do you guy´s think of it? i will try to make a little photoshop and add
the rides from port discovery to our discoveryland. hope it will work out like i imagine it.
Title: Re: Discoveryland Idea!!
Post by: lil-shawn on August 23, 2009, 06:59:59 PM
so hey guy´s sorry for doppelpost but here is
the photoshop work how i imagine discoveryland could look with all this additions.

hope you enjoy and like it...

Sorry if this seems like a silly question but what is the attraction from TDS that you placed behind the new station? Like, what does it do exactly?

Also that water attraction looks like it has a bad through-put, just like the hideous Autopia. I'd rather see Autopia replaced with this water attraction that you all seem to like.

The replacement idea for Buzz sounds ok, there is definitely a good idea in there I think.

Post by: lil-shawn on August 24, 2009, 10:21:19 AM
Am sorry, i forgot to ad the list with the description!
but here it is...

1. in front of the new train station we have, discovery gifts,
a little pin traiding store, and it also sells merch, specially discoversyland
style merchandise...

2. it is the new train station.

3. the attraction is Stormrider.
[youtube:1fk8t8cm]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Tyak1HbBBw[/youtube:1fk8t8cm]

4. between stormrider and aquatopia could be a shop or a restaurant.

5. is the attraction aquatopia.
[youtube:1fk8t8cm]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqDMLk6leqc[/youtube:1fk8t8cm]

the plan i was making till now is just phase1.
phase2 is on the side where autopia is, there will be a new attraction, called 20 000 leagues
under the sea. the same ride as in TDS. also autopia will get a complete new layout,
one way will go under the railroad to the new land where aquatopia is.
the ride system will be something new and unique to DLP.
this time the cars are hoovercraft cars. the attraction has also a high speed zone!
i think it will be something like the autopia we have, the emv system, the hoovercraft system and the LPS system like in aquatopia and the pooh ride!

this would be a expansion and changing plan for 5 or more years, and there will bi a litle
patch of land left, where the white tent is, for future expansion.
Title: Re: Discoveryland Idea!!
Post by: SophieD on August 24, 2009, 03:45:36 PM
wow lil-shawn i like all of your ideas!! I like the new look of the station, and the ride storm front. I especially like aquatopia, it looks beautiful at night!

What kind of restaurant would you see in between both of these attractions??
Title: Re: Discoveryland Idea!!
Post by: CentralPlazaPerson on August 24, 2009, 06:34:48 PM
If Dlrp do decide to move BLLB to WDS I think Turtle Talk with Crush would be a good replacement to put in the BLLB building. I love your ideas though lil-shawn.
Title: Re: Discoveryland Idea!!
Post by: QTXAdsy on August 24, 2009, 06:37:16 PM
Not sure about Crush, how about Alien Encounter?

Now THAT would be awsome.
Title: Re: Discoveryland Idea!!
Post by: CentralPlazaPerson on August 24, 2009, 06:42:43 PM
The building might be too small but what about Mission: Space!!???
Or that could be for the third park.!!
Title: Re: Discoveryland Idea!!
Post by: QTXAdsy on August 24, 2009, 06:53:59 PM
Actrully, I'm sure AE would just fit in though it would be a tight squeeze. I never thought about Mission: Space being added to the area though it would theme to jules verne.
Title: Re: Discoveryland Idea!!
Post by: CentralPlazaPerson on August 24, 2009, 06:57:44 PM
:lol: I didn't mean it would be small for Alien Encounter, I meant it might be small for Mission: Space. :lol:
Title: Re: Discoveryland Idea!!
Post by: QTXAdsy on August 24, 2009, 07:10:48 PM
:oops:  
Even though it's still a small building for any new attraction.
Title: Re: Discoveryland Idea!!
Post by: lil-shawn on August 24, 2009, 07:43:44 PM
haha very funny  :lol: , non of this attraction would really fit into discoveryland.
these are attractions for tomorrowland, and this is really another theme.
our discoveryland represent the future as jules verne and leonardo da vince thought of,
or something like this.

i think mission space and alien encounter would be great in the studios, thogether with
hista and star tours, build a the sci-fi dine and boom we have a whole new land
for the studios. maybe they can call it sci-fi studios  :lol:
Title: Re: Discoveryland Idea!!
Post by: Magicalmouse125 on August 28, 2009, 09:44:50 PM
i think this is a totally great idea and it would so work in discovery land. :D

Post by: luke85 on August 30, 2009, 02:22:17 PM
I love your ideas! That tram station in TDS looks beautiful and would fit in so well in Discoveryland. I love riding the Disneyland Railroad, but every time the train pulls into the current Discoveryland station I always notice how out of place and rubbish it looks!

I've always thought that station was a let down too !! There is not really much themeing going on compared to the rest of Discoveryland , and it could of had a fantastic Jules Verne styling which would fit in perfectly with the steam trains !
I always think the back of the land i.e Star Tours ,HISTA etc really lacks the style of the rest  of the land .It's as if they didn't know how to fit it in or ran out of money !!

I know what you mean, I think if Discoveryland station was had been on the cards since day one, it would have been properly budgeted, themed and designed. In 1993 when it was added, I can't imagine the park had a great deal of money to build a lavish Jules Verne type station even if they had originally planned to. I'm so envious that TDS have such a great station!

Wow, these are really great ideas lil-shawn. You've really captured the true essence and meaning of the original Discoveryland that we all love so much =D>

No i don´t work for disney, not in the parks and not at imagineering, i
just make it for fun and is part of my hobby..

Post by: lil-shawn on April 18, 2010, 12:26:25 PM
Hey ya,
Sorry to bring up this old topic, but i was thinking about discoveryland the last 3 month.
Discoveryland, needs to go back to its original roots, its a shame that disney management, decided
to but in Buzz and make it more futuristic. That is not the right way, and they should know it better,
how much trouble disneyland and disney world have, to rebuilt or reimagineer tomorrowland.
so i say, bringing back the theme of true visionaries.

First step would be to bring back Space Mountain de la Terre a la lune, with new trains, a lot of new effects, and
the perfect themed que line. i loved to watch through the windows and see the trains running throught the comets ect...
(//http://sm.dlpfan.org/pics/poster.jpg)

After this is done, more projects are coming to make it the true Discoveryland, a land with lots of attractions,
and a theme that don´t need to get changed, and no new attraction needs to get added the next 20 years after all is done. on this link is the color map i did, below i will explain everything.
(//http://www.LupiUpload.de/images/2010/04/18/t-35c0dd8ad5ccbf344fbf98c25b6fe1adfa579ba2.jpg) (//http://www.LupiUpload.de/file.php/file/sdFbuAgs6i)

The first  step after space mountain would be to build Autopia on the part of land, where the tent for pizza planet stand right now. Green on the map!
the new aoutopia would have a visionaries look, but the cars would go with an electro motor.

After Autopia and the ending of captain eo (if it comes back) the 3D theatre would get demolished. Now we have a
new part of land, big enough for a nice big attraction. Orange on the map!
the new attraction would be Soarin over the world, the theme of the queue and interrior would be all about
the flying machines from leonardo da vinci, also at the pre show, jules verne will welcome you to the jurney around the world.
Because tis is such a big land, a lot of greenery, and a few buildings will find its way. all themed to a village or city
visionaries had envisioned.

The red little part on the map represents the new double Trains Station, why double?
from this train station you will get to the Disneyland Rail Road, and to the new Electric Railway, who brings you
from Discoveryland to main Street USA.

Electric RailWay:

New Discoveryland Station:
(//http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/DLP%20that%20never%20was/EDLDiscoveryTrainStation.jpg?t=1271126389)

After all this is done, Discoveryland has a neew look, great attractions, perfect theming and it would be one of the
most visited lands, but not so fast, because am still not done. we have a big part of land where autopia was before.

the big brown land on the map, will hold an incedible attraction. lets begin on the part of land at the entrance
to discoveryland. here a new restaurant will get built, Vulcania. The outside has its steel work theme but also a
little bit of the rockwork that comes on the place where autopia was.

on this place a huge Vulcano will get build an it will host Jurney to the center of the earth, but this is not a
copy of mystery island or the attraction from TDS. no the ride system will be the one used on Indiana Joney Adventures, the look of the cars would be like the one at TDS attraction.

Also a second new restaurant will get build on this huge vulcano, The nautilus table service restaurant,
i think most of you know this old concept. and as a suprise, the nautilus walk through attraction will get
rebuild to an queue line for a new dark ride called 20 000 leagues under the sea. it will be the same Attraction
as at TDS!

hope you like it, and sorry for my bad writing...

Post by: guest3474 on April 18, 2010, 03:46:04 PM
Here's an idea- build the originally concepted restaurant building between Buzz Lightyear and Autopia, and move Stitch Encounter there. Then place Captain EO in its location in WDS. Star Tours II would replace Armageddon. And there, you would have space for the new station, and the attractions fit in with their perspective locations perfectly.

This is so awesome, dude!!!
if only the half of it would become true this will be a ind of renaissance for discoveryland.
All the attractions look great and the themming i exactly what  i'm thinking of when i hear "discoveryland".
the only problem is the money. I cannot imagine that disney will have enough money to rebuild this whole area...
they'll first have to build more into the studios, which will take nearly all of their budget.
But hopefully we'll see this BEAUTY , one day

REspect for your great work  =D>  =D>  =D>
