Title: What would you do to the resort?
Post by: lil-shawn on April 16, 2009, 08:57:00 PM
hey guy´s,

today i was thinking of what i would add or change to the
whole resort if i had the possibility and $1 billion...
there is so much i would do but now i have to think about what
would be the best...

so guy´s now its your turn, what would you do if you have the
possibility and $1 billion? you can spend it all on new attractions,
or rebuild something, change something ect. but you have only this
$1 billion and the time from now till 2017...
i think you guys will come up with really great ideas!!

Reburbish the park to its full former glory: start with Alice's Labyrinth. Change the trains in the Space Mountain so that you don't come out with bruises all over. Fix the dueling pirates once and for all. Ensure all the dolls in IASW are working properly. etc etc etc

And if there is any money left, bring some new rides: personally I would love to try Toy Story Mania, Splash Mountain, the Monsters ride (I forget what it's called...). Or maybe finally build the Western River Expedition!

This is what I'd do to each park...

Disneyland Park:

- Enhance Pirates of the Carribean, giving it the same effects as in Disneyland/Magic Kingdom
- Enhance Phantom Manor, giving it the same effects as in Disneyland/Magic Kingdom
- Enhance Star Tours, giving it a new digital film
- Fix Space Mountain: Mission 2 so that it ISN'T painful to ride
- Add The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Adventure to Fantasyland
- Add Splash Mountain to Frontierland

Walt Disney Studios Park:

- Add Soarin' next to CineMagique
- Add the Indiana Jones Adventure anywhere. It's a ride in a box
- Replace Animagique with Mickey's PhilharMagic

I love the majority of your ideas, but I think if we were to have Indiana Jones Adventure at DLP it would have to have amazing theming, in a really great environment. I'm not sure if I'd like to see it in WDS unless it was given a good enough treatment.

also I would love to see POTC given a full over-haul, giving it new lighting and effects, but not any of the new movie AAs. Other than that, I'd like all your ideas please!  [-o<

Agreed. I think if I had the chance to put it anywhere, I'd scrap Temple du Peril and put it there. Temple was a gimmick "we have a loop now!" coaster that DLRP no longer needs.

i think especially Star Tours needs some major improvements. Also some new rides in Fantasyland like Peter Pan Flight would be great, i agree maybe with the Little Mermaid.

Noooooo, I love the Temple du Péril coaster, and so does my son!! It is a short ride for a coaster, I admit, but it has awesome themeing! Also there is no need to scrap it for the Indiana Jones Adventure as there was enough space left to build it right next to it. Just imagine the whole area back there would be Indiana Jones themed ...
Title: Re: What would you do to the resort?
Post by: CafeFantasia on April 17, 2009, 11:25:19 AM
I guess to make everyone happy, they could keep the Temple of Peril and put the Indiana Jones Adventure right next to it. As you know, Disney already drew up plans for that idea:

(//http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/4900/dlpindianajonesadventur.jpg)

However, I still think the Indiana Jones Adventure makes sense at the Walt Disney Studios Park. It's a ride based on a movie. It's a ride that really has nothing to do with Disney. It's a totally self contained ride, in a box, which could be themed as any building or museum. And, most importantly, the Walt Disney Studios Park needs it more than Disneyland does.

Post by: lil-shawn on April 17, 2009, 08:24:58 PM
hey guy´s till now you have really great and interesting ideas, so here is my
list of what would i do!

first i would change space mountain, give it new trains and bring back
the theme from the earth to the moon, but with new effects!

the second thing is i would add the elevated tramway from mainstreet to discoveryland.
disneyland ca. has in tomorowland it´s monorail and we get the tramway, it
fits with the theme of mainstreet and discoveryland.

(//http://bp0.blogger.com/_OO7WbmARD08/RoOAiIDvpBI/AAAAAAAAB1o/D1SOTAHHMD8/s400/photo+3.jpg)

then i would paint the labyrinth, the castle and other stuff that need some paint jobs,
i aslo would fix all effects of the park and the attractions.

i would put western river expedition to frontierland, and indiana jones adventures
to adventureland. like here!

(//http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/4900/dlpindianajonesadventur.jpg)

fantasyland would get the mermaid attraction and the beauty and the beast anymatronic
show.

(//http://bp2.blogger.com/_OO7WbmARD08/RoSuFYDvpaI/AAAAAAAAB4w/O5emtAFb65M/s400/photo+17.jpg)

the last millions i would put on new attractions to the studios, on a makeover and expansion of the park! oh and disney village would get a small makeover too.

Something doesn't just go with the Studios as long as it's based on a movie. With that reasoning, 90% of the Disneyland Park could be air-lifted over to the place with no conceptual clash whatsoever.

Not that the Studios parks have clear, sensible concepts beyond the fact that we all agree Hollywood-based themes work quite well for them... But a ride as great as the Indiana Jones Adventure deserves a proper setting and set-up, something the Studios will not be able to bring to the table. It deserves to be reached via the winding pathways and tropical foliage of Adventureland, not the parking lots of the Backlot. And it certainly doesn't deserve a contrived "you enter an archeological museum when SUDDENLY" set-up a la Universal.

Sorry. No hard feelings I hope, but I just had to get that out of my system.

In fairness though, Disney do this sort of thing too. Think about Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom. It's a big box, with the front themed as the entrance to a museum.

And, if you're being super critical, Crush's Coaster doesn't make any sense at all. What's all this rockwork doing in a Movie Studio? Ok, it's in Toon Studios, so it must be the set of Finding Nemo, right? So what's a roller coaster doing laced around a movie set? If we're riding on the backs of turtles, why have their shells been scooped out and replaced with seats? And where are the poor turtles' heads and flippers? Shocking.

But, you know, it doesn't matter. Attractions don't have to make perfect sense. Not everything fun and fictional has to make sense.

Well they have to be thought through. Or at least they did once upon a time. Crush and Toon Studio are indeed no testimony to that. (While, as has been mentioned before, they could have easily looked at Who Framed Roger Rabbit for a far, far superior concept.) It's one of those things you just have to look past, because it's pretty inoffensive and fun.

But when you have the opportunity to combine the world's best Adventureland with one of the best Disney rides, and said ride befits said Adventureland like a glove, putting that ride in a box over at the Studios seems sacrilege.

What the Studios needs pronto is an expansion into a Disney-worthy area, so that, like its sister park, rides will at last naturally fit rather than having to be shoehorned in.

What I'm trying to say... The thing is... Half of a ride's experience is achieved before you get on it. A ride that wants you to feel like you're entering a far-off place cannot lie six feet from the park entrance; it has to be veritably bushwhacked towards, lying at the end of a winding path like a reward. They've already ignored that rule once, with the Tower of Terror (which will seem insanely positioned in twenty years, when it has become the park's literal centerpiece.) And I'm fearful they will ignore it again and agree with you, haha.

(And ironically, these are all techniques Disney got from the movies.)
Title: Re: What would you do to the resort?
Post by: CafeFantasia on April 18, 2009, 04:25:08 PM
I agree with what you're saying. Those are the rules that Disney themselves created. That's the way Walt would've done it. That's the way it should be done. But Disney don't really stick to those rules anymore (e.g. Crush and Toon Studio). In fact, the majority of the Walt Disney Studios Park takes the Imagineering rule book, and throws it out of the window.

I wouldn't complain if the Indiana Jones Adventure got built in Adventureland, where they planned. It makes perfect sense there. But, I don't know, I can't see Disney doing it anymore. It makes TOO much sense :-) They'll probably put a High School Musical Pin Trading Wild Mouse ride there instead.

oh my gosh, hopefully this will not come true.
you know guys, for myself i think disney lost the right way,
they just need someone who tell them where the right way is.
i don´t think john lasseter is the right guy for this, he do a
good job on pixar but now at imageneeing is just wrong for me.
right now we get to much pixar film based attractions like
cars race rally, crush coaster, cars land, toystory mania ect.
where are the rides like big thunder mountain, phantom manor, pirates
of the caribbean ect. disney parks need more of this attractions,
and they have a lot old ideas in the arcives, they just need to work them out.

all the time i look on google earth at our studios i realy don´t know what
they could do that it will become a real disney park. our studios have such a
big capability, but there is a lot to do. the whole distribution of the park
seems wrong for me. i really don´t know how they can change it, in my eyes
everything will look wrong. i say break down studio 1 and put it on another
location, then they can make a really good hollywood blvd. like in DHS....

Yeah, I can't really see it happen either. Indy in Adventureland, I mean, not the off-the-shelf Zack Efron coaster — they might have another gap year to fill soon...

The recent developments at California Adventure have reignited hope in a return to the better times... Paradise Pier has been given a back-story for Pete's sake. But so far it appears that that mentality hasn't spread beyond Southern California.

The best we can hope for is another surge in quality for Disneyland Paris' 20th anniversary. But even then I can't really see them build the maintenance nightmare that is Indy — especially not in the Disneyland Park. But good news for High School Musical fans.

I think many of us fear you're right. I personally think that in its 2002 state, it had a shot in hell. It was a major fixer upper, but given €1 billion for expansion it might have served as an inoffensive entrance to the real park, haha. But with the Tower of Terror where it is and Toon Studio now pretty much set in stone... It's increasingly tough to turn this sew's ear into a silk purse. (Will stop with the idioms soon, I promise.)

The thing is, the park was so incredibly awful when it opened that anything they do to it pleases us to no end. But are they really doing what's best for the park in the long term? What will it look like in 20 years? It's a trifle grim indeed.

Post by: experiment627 on April 19, 2009, 03:55:38 PM
Nice ideas everybody...

Here's what I would do if I could invest 1 billion Euros (and by that get a nice and comfy seat at the Euro Disney board  :wink: ) into DL-sometimes R-P between 2012 and 2017:

Disneyland Park:
- Discoveryland-redo with Space Mountain upgrade (new trains, new effects, theme: going back to its steampunk-roots) and Star Tours 2
- Splash Mountain, Frontierland
- The Little Mermaid, Fantasyland
- A new nighttime parade
- a new daytime parade


Walt Disney Studios:
- Ratatouille dark ride, Toon Studio
- an upgraded "Animagique" stage show
- Hollywood Boulevard extension with "movie theatre" showing (an upgraded) "Philharmagic", a Sunset Boulevard inspired gift store and an Animator's Palette inspired restaurant. (At the transition point between Toon Studio / TSP / Ratatouille and Hollywood Boulevard)
- Relocation of Studio Tram Tour entrance to Backlot, reworked queue through prop-house, new sfx-scene, reworked and extended "boneyard"
- Creation of a Studios lagoon above Backlot: guests would exit Hollywood Boulevard looking over the lagoon to get a glimpse of an "American Harbour Backlot". Here, similar to the Hollywood Boulevard, flat sets and 3D sets would be combined to create the illusion of New York and San Francisco. Small boats would be anchored at the waterfront. The New York set would also include a Broadway Theatre for big musical-style productions and a "Rainbow Room" upscale restaurant.
- "World of Colour" lagoon show

Disney Village & Resort:
- Cirque du Soleil instead of BBWWS
- World of Disney Department Store
- new 4-star hotel between the Village and Newport - the ground-level of the hotel would house a few new restaurants and bars thereby extending the Village

Post by: lil-shawn on April 20, 2009, 08:10:16 PM
hey guy´s,
so i think i have now the right idea how i would change the
studios.
the first pic shows you what i would do to the hollywood blvd and
art of disney anymation.

(//http://www.LupiUpload.de/100902/RNTnXTdd.jpg)

here we have the shop Off The Page, The Pixar Place Entrance and Disney Animation
all from disney california adventures - hollywood pictures backlot!
this would be the firs change, the second is to add the ratatouille dark ride,
at the costumes building.

the next part is to demolish all 3 studios and build new ones and a new
hollywood area with streets ect. didn´t found enough pics to finish it up
but i think this next pic will show you how i would do it!

(//http://www.LupiUpload.de/100902/j8X54I4n.jpg)

on the right side (where you see studio 3 and the other building) there would
be the new studio 3 with a café at the hollywood blvd and toystory mania in
pixar place.
on the left side are the new studio 1+2 it will host the gone hollywood shop, a
restaurant, the great movie ride (or something like this) and a new higly themed
theatre.
the black is a new building with a shop or restaurant or a walk trhough attraction.
Title: Re: What would you do to the resort?

lil-shawn - love the ideas!! I've actually thought about the demolition of Studio 1 myself. Although I certainly would miss it, I think the park could definitely benefit more from it not being there. It would provide a better build up to Tower Of Terror, rather than being slapped right into it the second you leave Studio 1. The only thing is, Studio 1 is WDS's "Disneyland Hotel" as it seperates the park from the real world. With it not being there, we would need a new barrier. Perhaps a Hollywood themed hotel at the front of WDS? Or just some tall-ish buildings themed like the current Front Lot buildings?

The only thing I don't like about your idea is that we would lose Cinemagique - one the park's best attractions! :P

First i have to thank you all, i´m happy that you like the ideas! the next thing is i
think there is no need for studio 1, for me studio 1 is a big block with color. i like
the style of studio too, but i didn´t said we will loose it, the studio 1 building is just
on another place. i think we don´t need something like studio 1, if you look at the
new future buena vista street at DCA or at DHS this is all an open space
and it would look much better for a studio park. hope you understand what i mean...

QuoteThe only thing I don't like about your idea is that we would lose Cinemagique - one the park's best attractions!

no we don´t have to loos this show, but i needet this space, but studio 2 will be
on the same location, together with the new studio 1. in studio 1 i planed a
attraction like great movie ride or something similar and studio 2 a new show,
but why not give cinemagique a few new effects ect. i think it will be okay for me, it
wont have to be a new show..

Let's see... If I had €1 billion to spend on improving the resort, what would I do?

Yes, I know I probably went over budget, but hey, this is just for fun, right?  :lol:

Let's start with Fantasyland.

(//http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/3813/lminterior1.jpg)

- Add The Little Mermaid dark ride, the one originally planned for Disneyland Paris using the Peter Pan's Flight ride system.
- Location: Tucked into the corner of Fantasyland, beside the area where it was originally supposed to go. (beside It's A Small World) There would be a new pathway leading to the attraction.
- Cost: €110 million (Roughly basing on the cost of Disneyland's new attraction and the upgrades this version would have)

Demolish Storybook Land completely. Clear off the entire patch of land behind Alice's Curious Labyrinth to make way for a new themed land.
- Cost: €10 million.

- Add The Shadowlands
- Opening date: October 2011.

Rides/Attractions
- The Enchanted Tower of Rapunzel (based off of the new Walt Disney Animation Studios Film, set for release in November, 2010) Would be a walk-through attraction similar to Le Passage Enchanté d'Aladdin.

(//http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/387/48487984.jpg)

- Alice in Wonderland dark ride, based off the new Tim Burton movie also set for release in 2010.
- Cost: Roughly €100 million.
- The Legend of Sleepy Hollow dark ride (based off of the classic Walt Disney Animation Studios film "The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad, without the Mr. Toad  :P )
- Cost: €90 million.
- The Nightmare Before Christmas dark ride, originally planned for Disney's MGM Studios.

(//http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/2980/mapsnightmarepopup1d.jpg)
Attraction concept and artwork is by Christopher Merritt - the characters are copyright Disney.
For more concept art and information, visit the Disney and more (//http://disneyandmore.blogspot.com/2007/04/nightmare-before-christmas-attraction.html) blog.

Cost: €130 million.
- Expand Alice's Curious Labyrinth hedge maze to the other side of the Disneyland Railroad into the new themed land. It would be located adjacent to the Alice in Wonderland dark ride.
- Cost: €10 million.

Now, moving onto Discoveryland!

(//http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c2/WALL-Eposter.jpg)

- New Wall-E themed ride, similar to ride system being used in Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek at Tokyo Disneyland.
- Cost: €88 million.

(//http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/6633/dlpsplashmountainconcep.jpg)

Frontierland
- The long-awaited Splash Mountain would be placed where it was planned to go, near the Cowboy Cookout Barbecue.
- Cost: €53.6 million. (equivalent to the $75 million invested in the international versions)

Adventureland
- Pirates of the Caribbean refurb to add the characters/storyline from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
- Cost: €10 million.

Walt Disney Studios

(//http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/8946/207dca0001.jpg)

- Replace Armageddon with Toy Story Mania.
- Cost: €57.2 million.

Speaking of Soarin', I just found this amazing photo online. This really captures the size and scale of the ride. It's a very unique angle showing all 87 seats suspended in the air:

hi im a long time listener first time caller this is my first post so here i go please be nice :mrgreen:  .....

disneyland park

fantacyland
- little mermaid (like the one in california but better with more light water features)
- its a small world (narrow down the countries to ones that people dont know much about or representation and there languages recordings would be done by people from the countries, accurate scaled down artutecture of the citys e.g india you would pass through there river banks smelling spices in the air and would be warm, norway would have high peaks around the buildings and be a bit cold)
-princesss mononoke (was a film reased in 97 in the west by touchstone originally japanese animae this ride would take you through the story probably a dark ride.
-steamboat willy (this would replace that ride that is dumbos train going around minitures of disney films this would be a water ride the boats would be based on the one that steamboat willy drives surrounded by screans would go through ride from mickeys perspective so in the cartoon when mickey sees minnie from out side the boat minnie would appear on the right screen.
-monsters inc door ride (i think every one knows how this would go the scene when there getting chased by randle this would be a stand up ride though so you stand in a door frame that straped in with handles on the side and the forced perspective method to make it look like your in a large room full of doors this would replace perter pans flight)
- halloween town ( 2 rides and a show based on nightmere before christmas if any one has every been on or seen nemisis at alton towers the first ride would be this but theme around jack skellington the 2nd would be a park ride of the film a saw a concept design that some one put forward to disney on the disney and more web site and the show would be the music from NB4XMAS and the surrounding area would be themed around halloween town.
-allices curious labernth (expanded has rooms that match the film e.g the room where she drinks the potion to make her smaller is there with cast members giving out drinks once every one has one the room raises up like in phantom mannor/haunted mansion so it looks like your geting smaller the door gets big enough to crawl through on the out side the flowers from golden afternoon looming overyou to pass through have to step on balancing lillys they will be on a shallow area of water so you have to get accross with out falling in
- mad hatters tea party (stays the same)
-dumbos flight (has slightly more speed and more dumbos and taller at the top a giant bubble machine that reeases loads of bubbles and on the dumbos leavers and buttons to move his trunk in directions and shoot water out)
-snow whites scary ride( a bit more spooky the part with the trees is very enclosed to the point that there brushing past you and increases speed like your running more sound affects but shows the kiss at the end of the ride and is bright and inspireing at the end)
-pinocchios voyage ( this will be a lot more of an intence ride then current makes you feel secluded at points like when he is in his cage bars would rise up from the side enclosing you in mode of transport heavy splashing when monstro appears and a big drop into his mouth)
-lancalots carosell- ( rethemed to emulate mary poppins so is done in the style of a trafitional victorian england horse carrosell playing organ versions of mary poppins songs)
- narnia:lion the witch and the wardrobe ride (dark ride of the film medium level intesity very stimulating e.g loud aslan roar and sounds of battles at the begining people walk through a room then into a wardrobe of coats then to the street lamp when lucy meets mr tumbles then queens sled appears as your mode of transport around the ride.

im sorry this is so long i was going to do one from all the lands main street usa and disney studios but some other time soon hopefully if any one is interested

i know is said if any one was interested il add more but im itchin hear goes

frontierland
big thunder mountain - would modify it so that it is more of a white knuckle
phantom mannor - keep outside structure the same but redo the inside completely a new story since its a differnt name and go for some thing original and make the ride a bit more intence also the surrounding area would be done more to represent new orleans with land the the right slowly going to darker to more normal/lighter with a bridge going over water
princess and the frog - this connects to after the bridge from phantom mannor not sure about this ride some thing new and original in movement for familys
river cruise - (ive actualy never been on them so if im rehshin stuff im sorry) make them have a bigger capacity for passangers with the bottom level a play area for kids and a bar at the top make the river area it self bigger with some animatronics around the islands like the tiger they were originaly going to have also the boats would go under where the bridge that links princess and the frog with phantom mannor.
tarzan rollercoaster - whiteknuckle based on the vines that he moves on placed in the forest area in the far left area of the land ride would move around the trees and have spirals and bring back tarzan the encounter i loved that make it a bit better.
pocahontis flume - instead of having splash mountain, based on the just around the river bend scene would have 3 medium drops and one large drop like splash mountain, have surounded by tall trees from america if not then some thing close, the climbs would be relaxing with instrumental of just around the river bend then play faster part of song at drops in the surrounding area move the pocahontis village there and have native american animal displays like birds and authenticly created cherokie enviroment with fires at night and exhibitions.
 the new frontier - add mission : space i think that a lot of people would disagree with that but i see it as the next frontier and another ride entitled the new frontier that would trace the steps of how society grows to the new frontier this would be a dark ride with animatronics of past events like the french and american revolutions to possable potentials of the future
cowboys of the wild west - this would be an equivilant of POTC but cowboy based the ride would not be a modified replica it would be part indoor part out door with live actors and walking and also add a cowboy show shoot out as a seperate show.

thats frontierland done hope you enjoy it will probably doo adventureland next sorry it all takes so long i was trying not to do it this time

okay thats interessting, don´t know where to start,
but i don´t understand why you would make our beautifull,
and best fantasyland of all disney parks to such a bad place.

the only rides who would really fit with the themening is
the little mermaid. no pixar attractions in fantasyland,
they belong into the studios. narnia is not really part of
disney anymore.
and all other rides shuld stay as they are, they are classics.

the same is for frontierland, it has its uique story and
all rides we have there ramains to the story, they don´t
need a change.
the tarzan encounter is not in the right place if you would
put it back to frontierland, it belongs in adventureland.

you know our disneyland park is the most beautyfull magic kingdom
style parks ever created, okay the park need something new,
but it have to fit with the actual theme.
maybe you should think again of your changes and place it right,
cuz some of them are cool....

I'd like to close Les Voyages de Pinocchio in Fantasyland and replace it with Mickey's PhilharMagic. Yes, I know it's a shame to lose a dark ride, but PhilharMagic is an excellent attraction and one that three Disneyland/Magic Kingdom parks around the World have (Tokyo's version is opening in 2011). It's become a modern classic.

Besides, Fantasyland already has three small dark rides. Would anyone really notice if one of them was closed? The Snow White and Pinocchio dark rides are VERY similar.

Here's an idea. To make up for the loss of Les Voyages de Pinocchio, The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Adventure (2011, DCA) could be built on the site of the Fantasy Festival Stage.
Title: Re: What would you do to the resort?
Post by: dmmosh69 on September 22, 2009, 06:14:55 PM
Hi thanks looking at my ideas lil shawn, i hoped that it would get some contructive critisism (i hope i spelt that right) and appolgise for the length of each description, i would like to explain my intensions.
        Fantacyland - i know that fox now have the rights to narnia and are making the third film but people will always remeber the lion the witch and the wardrobe film and most importantly the book the asthetic of the ride would largely reflect the book more accurately and is it self considdered to one one the greatest fantacys of all time and since they made space mountain and journey to the center of the earth (at tokoyo disney sea) based on the jules verne novel to the moon and back and journey to the center of the earth that fantacy novels, all though not owned by disney are appreciated and developed.
       I understand the resistance and dislike of the adaption of the other rides like dumbo and snow white they are classics as they are and love riding them now in france as much as i did when i was 5 years old, but every theme park has these rides with no variation i love them want them but for them to be unique im even thrown by my ideas for small world, snow white, river cruise and alices curious labernth on screen it may even sound tacky beacause of my inability to describe and since every one is updating POTC with the films characters i thought that it would be no big deal since people keel over to the success of the POTC films  (the last 2 wernt that great) and as for peter pans flight it would be moved near the jolly roger in adventureland, picocchios voyage would be made more intence so that there is a ride for the adults that is a classic and people love it for another reason.

           As for pixar same as they have buzz lightyears lazer blast is discoveryland i thought that there is no harm in having monsters inc in fantacyland especally since they have indiana jones in adventureland and what ever films, books, and TV shows they have placed all over the theme parks all over the world, 30 years ago if it was said that areosmith would singing dude looks like a lady on a disney ride and a twilightzone ride people would of said no, so i though just one pixar ride in each seperate land in the disneyland theme park would be ok lion king was my generations film finding nemo was the next ones and i wanted a place where all ages can mix and appreciate each other loves.

     Frontierland - i know tarzan seems like that it should be in adventureland but i got thinking about the word frontier and it was around long before the wild west and ruff riders the frontier was not just america but places like africa, india, eastern europe and china and some times think that in the worlds americanisation we forget that so i saw africa as part of frontierland so though i want tarzan there where all the trees are.
             New orleans i thought my self doesnt fit in untill i realised that the river cruise type of boats where most prominant in new orleans the haunted mansion is based in new orleans and with princess and frog based there and coming out soon i thought it would be fitting to mix them toghther and may be throw in some things from the original orleans, france.
      I knew that having mission space and the new frontier ride would be the hardest to justify having in frontierland most people wouldnt be open but i thought i would have it there so people see the changes that have happened and the potential to grow that the frontier hasnt stoped with mapping of the world but grows to outer space and with in ourselves to ask questons about ourselves, goverment and religion it seems intence but then george orwells animal farm was a fairytale story and so children would feel inspired but not sure why.
 
thank you to any one who has made an effort to read this and my ideas i dont deserve your time im open to any critisism im not always wrong and i know definatley not always right either and prespective is every ones and i want to know it all. At some point il probably do discovery/adventurland and the disney studios. my idea behind this was to make this a disney them park that reached people from all walks of life from not liking disney but thrill rides, manga, norweigen, children to hard core disney fans like our selves who as a self judgement can forget about how to relate to what the casual disney fan or children would like. Lil shawn is right about our park its original and beautyfull compared to the others but it still  replicates rides and we have a main street USA instead of a Paris boulivard in a sence because i feel so passionatly about the park i would never go to florida again (but my wife has never been once and i want to do that for her) and go to support ours thats ok for me but so many people can afford to go to florida and dont give paris much thought because most of the experiences and rides can be found in orlando i just want to give people a better choice, i always remember these 2 things that walt said

"kids loved to be scared".

"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths".

thanks for you time

:D  I really love dmmosh's ideas! I think they are really origional, so unlike anything anyone else has said. I think it is really important to have new ideas for rides like these rather that just repeating the same rides at different themeparks. People need a reason to experience them all. I love the ideas for Alices curious laberenth, I think these changes would create an even more magical atmosphere. Also Monsters inc door ride would be awsome! I think it could be quite simple to do but kids (and adults like me!) would love it!

I also love the idea of having more big rides in the park. I know that disneyland is mainly aimed at children but I think that more and more adults are compelled by the magic and I also think that children are getting used to big ride at younger ages now. So I think it would be a great progression to help the park appeal to a wider audience. Also I like the way these rides are all imaginative and not just a good ride but a magical ride as disneyland is ment to be.

So yep I just wanted to give a responce beacause I have been looking at the forum for a long time and I have never been inspired to join before, but I really felt dmmosh's ideas deserved a responce more than any I have read before as they are so creative and like nothing I have heard before  :)  =D>

I'm not sure if this could be done with 1 billion, but that's what i would do:

Hotels:

- Renovation of all seven Disney Hotels
- New TVs (we had always problems with our tv)

Disney Village:

- World of Disney Store
- ESPN Zone
- Second street with new restaurants, shops and cafes

Disneyland Park:

- General refurbishment of the whole park
- Little Mermaid Ride
- Splash Mountain
- Indiana Jones Adventure
- Star Tours II
- A new color-scheme of Buzz Lightyear Laserblast to match SM:MII and Orbitron

Walt Disney Studios Park:

- Extending of Hollywood Blvd. with shops, like Planet Hollywood Shop, Villains en Vogue, and restaurants, like 50s Prime Time Cafe, Sci-Fi Dine In.
- New entrance to RnRC
- Pixar Studios (like the one at DHS) with a Ratatouille dark ride, a sit down restaurant and a Luxo Jr. audioanimatronic
- A lake with a fountain at the end of the extended Hollywood Blvd
- The Great Movie Ride housed in the Chinese Theatre behind the lake
- Muppet Vision 3D

If I have more than 1 billion, for example 5 billions, I would use 3 billions to pay the depts, 1 billion for the projects above and one billion for the Lava Lagoon Waterpark.

Totally agree with you on this! The TVs I've had in my rooms have always been temperamental, in one of my rooms the only channel working was the German one, it was quite a challenge trying to watch Bambi that night!

Ultimately, this could hit over $1 Billion, but as long as all of this were to see the day within the next ten years, I'd be happy. :D

Disneyland Park:
First of all, I'd give the park a general clean-up and re-paint if needs be. I'd also change the name back to Disneyland Paris, especially considering that they came to their senses and changed the whole resort's name back to Disneyland Paris (as opposed to the clunky Disneyland Resort Paris  :roll: ) For everything else, I'd put forward these points:
Main Street USA
There's not much to say about this place in all honesty, as it essentially serves its purpose as a charming themed gateway to the park. If anything, I'd just add a small Main Street Cinema and perhaps refresh some of the shops.[/list]
Frontierland
Again, little really to say here, although I do have some points.
Song of the South characters as opposed to using characters from Pocahontas or The Princess and the Frog, as has been rumoured. They could possibly incorporate Splash Mountain into a sort of Louisiana section of Frontierland. As far as a new Critter Country for Splash Mountain is concerned, I don't think that it's all that necessary; I think that Critter Country only came about as a means to rethink a poorly thought-out and under-visited area of the original Disneyland (Bear Country).
-If we don't get Splash Mountain, settle on Western River Expedition.[/list][/list]
Adventureland
Nothing perhaps too drastic, just some things that need doing here and there. I'd add a few more signs here and there, though, as the layout is quite confusing. Just a few points:
[/list]
Fantasyland:
Probably still the best looking place in the park, and deservedly so, though it could do with a few new attractions (and when I say new, I don't mean replacements of existing attractions, like what happened with Mr Toad's Wild Ride at Walt Disney World). Aside from a few scenes in Le Pays des Contes de Fées, the most recent Disney film to be referenced is probably The Sword in the Stone (the sword itself and the shop in the castle), which came out in 1963! I think we can agree that a number of the modern films (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Little Mermaid in particular) have become as classic as Snow White or Pinocchio, and characters like Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse deserve an attraction of their own. Here's what I would do (some or all of the following):
Fantasia), probably located behind the Fantasy Festival Stage (that would get knocked down into a walkway if so), or across from Bella Notte (in which case Ariel would go around where the Fantasy Festival Stage is).
-Create an Ariel's Grotto to go with the dark ride, and create a Rapunzel's tower as a meet-and-greet area for Rapunzel (since her hair is otherwise too long) and Flynn.[/list][/list]
Discoveryland:
This is perhaps my favourite part of the park, save for perhaps Fantasyland, but I think that the Jules Verne theme is beginning to fade a little and that it could have an unfortunate future of becoming a pot-pourri of general science-fiction and technological exhibits, as the Tomorrowlands in America have become; the purpose of reworking Tomorrowland into Discoveryland for Paris was for it not to end up becoming dated and to lose its original concept later along the line. Therefore, my changes for here would be:
[/list]
Odds and ends:
Honestly just a few things here. Off I go:
[/list]

Walt Disney Studios:
I think that this genuinely  has improved over the past few years. I went in 2004 and can remember walking out of Studio 1 and thinking I'd stepped into a converted car park. I came back in 2010 and was so happy to see that they'd dressed it up so much more, even if it uses simple trompe d'œil. The "real movie studio" now works (as opposed to being a cheap cover up), though more could still be done here and there to give it that extra kick.

- http://www.photosmagiques.com/wdsfans/s ... m_tour.php (http://www.photosmagiques.com/wdsfans/specials/lost_projects/mgm_tour.php%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;) (Nuff said again) [/list]

Miscellaneous:
Nothing much to write here. I honestly think that the Disney Village ultimately serves its purpose as somewhere to wind down for a little while, and I can't comment on all of the hotels (I haven't even stepped foot into Santa Fe, Cheyenne or New York). I equally can't comment on Davy Crockett Ranch or Golf Disneyland (anyone actually used the latter?). But a few things:
Alice in Wonderland would seem fine walking around in the Toon Studios as much as in Fantasyland. Equally, don't let character appearances be limited to just Mickey's pals, especially in the hotels.
-Add an international book shop and mini-supermarket to the Disney Village.
-Add a media-retail chain (perhaps Virgin Megastore or Fnac) to Disney Village.[/list]

but euro disney have said openly that they have more than enough money set aside to pay debts and doublee the size of studios, they just continue because they want that as a safety net

Post by: ChrisKross on March 21, 2011, 02:00:31 PM
I´d like to share what I´d like to do to the resort. I´m not so good at painting so i will try to describe it as much as I can :)


Disneyland park:]

Frontierland:
I´ve always wanted Splash Mountain in Frontierland. I think that the empty room with pocahontas village etc would be perfect for Splash Mountain. But I think that DLRP would do thier own version, like Pocahontas theme. Instead of see the "Song of the south" you will follow Pocanhontas and her friends and in the end ofcourse a big splash ;)
With "Pocahontas River Flume", Phantom Manor (with updated effects) and BTM, Frontierland would be PERFECT! =D>

Adventureland:
Pirates of the Caribbean would have updated effects with Jack Sparrow, and Indiana Jones et le temple de peril would stay but I like to change the name, maybe something like Raging Spirits like the one in TokyoDisneysea. But the main thing to do in Adventureland is The Indiana Jones Adventure. But I sat down and thought about it and I came up with the idea of keeping the old temple de peril and instead making a "Prince of Persia Adventure", with the same layout as the Indy adventure, but of course with other scenes. What do you think? I think it would fit and it would be something new for Paris to come up with. So the adventureland would be like this: POTC (updated), Indiana Jones temple de peril and Prince of Persia Adventure.

Fantasyland:
Refresh many of the old rides like Peter Pan, Snowhite and Pinocchio. Instead of the Fantasy festival stage I would put the Mickeys Philharmagic! I´d like to see something from the movies "Beaty and the beast" or "The little Mermaid", but if a third gate will open, then I would love to see it in there instead. I would maybe insert Many adventures of winnie the pooh instead of Pinocchio.

Discoveryland:
I would definately update Star Tours to the latest version, bring back the Mission 1 at Space Mountain or maybe create a Mission 3 with more smooth train and effects. In videopolis I will put Soarin over the world or Mission Space. If the Mission Space will take that place i will put Soarin in WDS next to cinemagique.

Walt Disney Studios:
Remove the Studio 1 and create a big street with shops and restaurants. I dont like the concept with boxes! I will also change name on Toon Studio to Pixar Plaza! I will create a balloon race carousel from the movie "Up", just for the little ones. I will also create the "seas with nemo and friends" from EPCOT, next to the crush´s coaster. I don´t think it would be too much of Nemo, Crush´s coaster is for the more daring ones and the seas with nemo is for the whole family. I will replace the Animagique with something like Monsters INC, the one in Tokyo! If the studios expand i will create a brand new rollercoaster themed after "The incredibles" called "The Incredible coaster" painted in red :)
The main idea of the coaster is to be halfways indoor and halfways outside. The first part you will transfer in the long train similar to RnRC and meet the characters who show you their incredible stunts. It´s like you entering different rooms with different characters, and therefore you have different superpowers. The "girls room" would have the effect of an invincible track because her superpower is to be invincible. Etc..... The last superpower is the little boy with the high speed power and the train will make a blast off and run outside the building, with maybe 3-4 inversions and head back to the station.
I also want to change the theme of RnRC. Instead of Aerosmith i would put a Michael Jackson theme inside. Imagine to ride with "Beat it" in your ears. :)

I will also get new effects to the Studio Tram tour, like the bustour at Universal Studios in Hollywood!!!

I would not put the Ratatouille ride in WDS, because i like lil-shawns idea of the third gate and would put it in the France area!


This is the main things i would change and edit! I would like to present my ideas for a third gate, but i do it in that thread!

Feel free to comment and discuss!

Great visual, Alan! It seems you have taken TDS's Indiana Jones Adventure. I think on the Disney & More Blog you can see a concept art/map of the Indiana Jones Adventure.
Title: Re: What would you do to the resort?
Post by: CafeFantasia on March 23, 2012, 07:44:59 PM
Yes, there's official concept art, which I have. But this new image is, like you said, Tokyo DisneySea's Indiana Jones Adventure composited on top of an aerial photo of Disneyland Paris.

I'll admit, the Indiana Jones Adventure building looks a bit big in my image, but I took the scale by matching their Raging Spirits coaster with our Temple of Peril, so it HAS to be right.
Title: Re: What would you do to the resort?
Post by: dagobert on March 23, 2012, 07:50:55 PM
It doesn't look that big, just look at the POTC building.

In my opinion the Anaheim version fits better, because it shares the same design like IJ - Temple of Peril.
Title: Re: What would you do to the resort?
Post by: CafeFantasia on March 23, 2012, 08:14:30 PM
Well the Anaheim version has that entrance temple and a very long queue to get you out of Disneyland, under the Disneyland Railroad, and into the show building in the former car park.

I chose the Tokyo DisneySea version because it's more compact, with the queue and show building incorporated into the same facility.
