Title: [Own Idea] Cool Runnings [Own Idea]
Post by: Captain Pan on June 30, 2008, 11:47:15 PM
Now I've spent the day watching Cool Runnings... and whilst watching the final sled run I started wondering...

How about a ride that plays through the final moments of that 1888 Winter Olympic Track at Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

So You'd enter the sled at the bottom of the hill... be carried to the top via chain... pulled back and forth for the Jamaican call of 'Feel the Rhythm, Feel The Ride... Get on up... Its Bobsled Time' and then dropped down through a reconstructed track, and toward the end where the team lose control of the sled the track has alternating banking creating a swaying motion.

Carriages would consist of four seats sat in bobsled formation... with the carriages each differently decorated to represent a variation of the countries represented in the movie or in the EU or even the various characters...

Simply add suggestions.... or point out the faults!

That would be fun, just like a bobsled coaster but disneyfied. My only problem with it would be where the hell would you put it? Bobsled attractions can take up some mighty space, especially if designed on a proper track as in the film, I really can't think of a suitable location within the resort.

I was thinking about that... But hoping I wouldn't need to explain...As we'd need the look of gravitational push...

Thinking about it now... Where Armageddon is looks like it could provide some space but maybe not enough!! and theming would be out the window then...

But Maybe it could be like RNRC or SM:M2 with the internal tracks... and then CMs would have Climate controls to control the weather man... and not have unseasonal warmth on a winter sports track!

Any one have any thoughts ... Add any ideas for changes, and questions (I guarantee I will not be able to answer them)

isnt there still some space left for disney to expand into?
if so maybe theres enough there =]
im liking the thought of an inside coaster like RNRC or SM would be good to have a weather that can be ajusted.
if not though maybe a simulator? but i do think that simulators are not as enjoyable sometimes, and you'd really need to feel wind on your face etc.
though this could be provided by a giant fan! lol

i think and inside track over in the spare space [if there is some] sounds great
