I was thinking about how fast Toon Studio is developing, and how the Flying Carpets is rapidly becoming outdated with the new Disney-Pixar additions. Therefore, I thought it might be a good idea is in the near future , the Flying Carpets were relocated to Adventureland in the main park.
seeing as Adventureland seems somewhat lacking in major attractions (the only two really being PotC and Indiana) , the ride could be placed opposite the current Agrabah area, creating an immersive themed area. Of course, the tacky purple backdrop would be withdrawn , but I've placed it where Cafe de la Brousse is now. Here's how the map might change.. (Original amp image - DLRPMAGIC Editorial - Whip) - In case you can't see the change, it's in the bottom right somewhere.. ;)

The Magic Kingdom in Florida is constantly promoting their Flying Carpets as a major attraction , so maybe in it's new , well-themed location the DLP Resort could do the same?
As for the attraction's replacement in the studios , a new eatery and shopping destination could be put in it's place. The eatery could be based on a Seafood Restaurant ties in with Finding Nemo , whilst the shopping store could be named 'Luxo's' , selling all sorts of PIXAR and Pin-Trading Memorabilia.
What do you think?

I think it is a really good idea.
It does seem very outdated in toon studios and if they move it to adventureland that will make toon studios all pixar attractions. They could retheme it like jasmines flying carpets going to tokyo disney sea.
I actually suggested this same idea, like, 8 years ago. You can see it on this old aerial photo that I edited (badly):

But yeah, I think it makes perfect sense. Disney already own the ride. They just need to build a new foundation in Adventureland for it, and transport the ride over. The Arabian Nights style entrance to Adventureland would make the perfect backdrop for the ride; a real backdrop, not some painted flats.
And like you said, use the space in WDS where the ride used to be to flesh out Crush's Coaster, with an extended queue area and a little seafood restaurant/cafe.
It's a win-win situation. Adventureland gets an additional attraction, with some new energy/kinetics at its entrance. And the Walt Disney Studios gets the space for more immersive theming, a longer queue, and a new restaurant.
I would have to say no to this idea mainly because the view from the bazaar across to the treehouse is one of my favourites in the park - especially at sunset. Adventureland would lose some of it's immersiveness too. I say keep it in the studios, I don't think it's *too* bad there anyway.
That location isn't a definate RnRCj. I considered placing it opposite Indiana too , in the current foresty area. The general idea is Flying Carpets being relocated to somewhere within adventureland , and a retail and restaurant outlet taking its place in toon studio.
Excellent idea. I must say it also crossed my mind to transfer Carpets over to DLP. Best spot is Adventureland, like you proposed along side the Agrabah theming that already is there. It doesn't fit with Indiana Jones. If they do, then please copy the WDW version with the palmtrees and other props, which are way better then our 'Studios'-version.
Extending Crush with a new themed queline, a (table service) restaurant and a Nemo shop is probably the best thing the Toon Studio needs. It creates a beautiful themed area which the Studios needs so badly, and it will be an instant hit ofcourse if they theme it on par with, let's say, Blue Lagoon Restaurant (that type of immersive theming in the Nemo world).
I never understood the decision to built Flying Carpets over Agrabah in the Studios. It fits so much beter in Disneyland Park. And like you said, they can put on a whole marketing show by promoting it as a major 'new' ride Disneyland Park, while they can focus on Nemo/Crush in the Studios. Update the ride building at the inside with more props and use scarfolding to 'hide' the buildings interiors if you ride the rollercoaster. That can't cost too much. Market it as a new ride experience, et voila! Two 'new' rides, a restaurant and a shop for a small price.
Please send this to EDLI! :wink:
Alternatively, how about this location? It'd be more tucked away here, but still close to Adventureland's entrance and Le Passage Enchanté d'Aladdin.

Great find, Alan. I like this location too. They have to place this ride in the vicinity of the excisting 'Aladdin' themed area, otherwise we get a themed mess throughout Adventureland. Can somebody please green light this 'project'. 8)
^^It wouldn't work there either because that's part of the African area. Adventureland is one of the parks most immersive areas so personally I think we should leave out any rides like this. It would only remind us that we're not actually in an Arabian bazaar but in a theme park.
A good idea but then Disneyland will have 3 of this ride type. Why not leave it where it is but retheme it to WALL-E? You could be on a robots back. Updates it to a recent pixar film.
The Magic Kingdom at Disney World has 3 of these kinds of rides, and will actually have 4 when they open up the new Duelling Dumbos.

I thought they were removing their Flying Carpets to become one of the Dumbos.

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, that's how it's called in Magic Kingdom, is located in Adventureland. The Dumbo ride is located in Fantasyland, on the other side of the park. So no, they will not be removed to become the Duelling Dombo's ride. :wink:

No I meant they'll rip up the whole thing and move it across!
No, they are building a replica of the current Dumbo's but with modifications such as a Circus-tent themed central hub complete with ladders and fire hydrant.
The Magic Carpets at the Magic Kingdom's Adventureland will remain ;)
Why not attach balloons to the current location and change the carpets to items of furniture, then you could have an Up ride! Or alternatively change the theme to fish (similar to One Fish, Two Fish at IOA) and make it Nemo, then change Animagique to Finding Nemo the Musical, rename Toon Studio to Pixar Place and you'd have a large Finding Nemo area, a supporting ride to Crush and a new show to advertise?
A little different to moving it to DLP (however, that is something I'd like to see, it's just a pain trying to find a nice location for it in Adventureland), but a work around the fact that it now sticks out like a sore thumb! Moving the ride across parks would also remove one of the few kids attractions in Studios, I don't think they'd want to do that to keep visitors happy!
But Scissorsboi, there are the two new kids attraction (Parachutes and Zig-Zag) along with Race Rally , Playhouse and Stitch mainly pure kids attractions in WDS. Surely thats enough? :lol:
Good point, I forgot about the two new ones, I was classing Zig-Zag as a small thrill as opposed to a kids ride. I think wherever the ride goes it'll be unwanted, it's basically a clone of Dumbo, and DLP already has Orbitron, does it need another one? WDW may have many, but once I'd done one, I didn't see the appeal of doing the same ride with a different look. At least with it in Studios if a guest isn't going into Disneyland Parc then they get to do 'Dumbos' without being able to do the exact same thing in the next land!
Orbitron and Dumbo hoth have critically low thoroughput compared to omnimover attractions. Whilst omnimover attractions basically do the same movements, it is the themeing that changes the ride experiences .
Pirates of the Carribean - Be a pirate!
Phantom Manor - Catch Ghosts!
Buzz Lightyear - Defeat Zurg!
It's the same emphasis with the 'carnival rides'
Dumbo - Learn to fly!
Orbitron - Be an astronaut!
Flying Carpets - Be a film star/ explore agrabah.
The latter 3 don't have the same impression as the Omnimovers though, I mean the Dumbo variations have the same look at the end of the day, just with other things attached to them, whereas the Omnimovers are immersive experiences with different layouts etc - Buzz even has the interactivity difference. I think people would notice if there were 3 Dumbos in DLP, but they would see Phantom Manor and Buzz as 2 totally different rides. Same with Pirates and IASM.
QuoteBuzz even has the interactivity difference
and so does the flying carpets in comparison to it's fellow versions (Up/down,etc) :D
I am suppose to read The Arabian Nights for summer reading, and i need to write a journal, any suggestions? I started reading arabian nights and i highly disliked it, now i have to write a 1000 word journal on it for 9th grade english, i need help on what to include in it, and suggestions of themes or any literature terms would be appreciated.
