DPF 10th Anniversary Giveaway #5
This is such a cute prize. I will have to brainstorm and be back with an idea.
Such a cute game. I'm not playing for the prize, I'm just saying my idea for fun!
I'd like to see an Big Hero 6 themed dark ride (but this concept could also be used for a roller coaster). For the Dark Ride, you would board a Baymax and go on a flight (or adventure) around San Fransokyo, meeting the Big Hero Six team as they fight villains, or get up to their own crazy hi-jinx! I think the best style of vehicle would be one with an overhead rail system, like Peter Pan's Flight, but a trackless dark ride could give you a great feeling of running through the streets with the team.
I'd love to ride this attraction with all the members of DPF! I think it would be fun to fill up the queue with all the members
Ooh loving the detail!Thank you for hosting this giveaway, this is a cool idea to think of a new ride!
I have thought about this ride for a while but I think it would be very cool to add a roller coaster to Epcot in the Italy Pavilion. In the back of Italy would be a volcano and the story would be how some researchers are studying it, but it is about to erupt!! The queue starts at the bottom of the Italy Pavilion and goes through some educational buildings about the geology and science of volcanoes around the world and those in Italy. The queue would then go outside where there are scaffoldings circling around the volcano which would act as a good way to get shade and for a longer queue. On the backside of the volcano not visible to guests from the front of the Italy pavilion would be an entrance into the inside of the volcano where the cast members are costumed as volcano researchers and you join them to take them measurements and tests. This is the loading dock of the attraction and the ride vehicle is a ruggedy train type vechicle. This portion is part of a dark ride and you see researchers taking samples on the gentle ride but then the coaster starts vibrating simulating that the volcano is about to erupt! While the vehicle is picking up speed, you see some "lava" get closer to the ride vehicle and rush out of the volcano and exit the hole at the top and get sprayed with water simulating lava while you 'erupt' as well. The roller coaster then does an inversion at the top and you go around some ruins of Pompeii in the back of the Italy pavilion as well as circle around the outer part of the volcano. You pull up to a geology laboratory when finished and you see a head researcher say "Good work team, but our data got scorched, we gotta go back to get some more. Join us again anytime!". And you depart from the vehicle.
Even though in this pavilion there was supposed to be a Roman Ruins walk-through and a gondola boat ride in the original plans, I think a volcano roller coaster in the back would be a great addition!
I would definitely want to ride this one with my sister @EvilSleep !!
Oooooh, what a fun challenge!
My mind immediately goes to the whole "Pull the Lever Kronk" scene from the Emperor's New Groove. Maybe a new roller coaster behind the Mexico pavilion? ENG roller coaster all the way.
@SoraPandora, you down to go?
I think they would be an awesome idea. Best yet, have the queue line be motifs of Pompeii/Herculaneum inspired ruins and you have an interesting non-Disney IP inspired attraction; if they are not able to use a coaster, reuse the cars from the body-wars ride and have a “back to the future” inspired volcano attraction...Thank you for hosting this giveaway, this is a cool idea to think of a new ride!

Thanks @akarih for hosting this game! What a great question, and it's had my sister and me talking for the last 24 hours about rides.
Okay, so my suggestion is actually the top of both our lists -- but I'm going to include two bonus rides at the bottom. Hey, who know, right?! Maybe Disney ride designers are going to read this thread one day and take up some of these great ideas. Highly unlikely, you say? Probably right, but dreaming Disney style is always the best way with happily-ever-after endings.
Okay, so the ride I see is a gentle one all about Moana. More along the lines of "The Seas with Nemo and Friends" -- but a brighter look. Placement would be more likely to end up in Magic Kingdom in Fantasyland, but if you wanted to ask me the best option -- and new small Polynesian Island area in Epcot.
The queue area would be totally decorated with the type of Island outdoors as seen in the "Moana, Make Way" song. Then, you walk inside to a huge aquarium where you stand and see turtles floating there, along with all kinds of shells. "The Innocent Warrior" is definitely the background music for this ride, and you are standing there in the POV of toddler Moana. As you exit, there is a totally themed gift shop which sells shells (just like Moana is collecting) and other appropriately themed souvenirs like Hawaiian flower clips for your hair and other fun stuff.
I'd definitely want to go on this ride with my lifelong best friend @stratasfan !

Two bonus rides that I think would be fun.
"Human Again" in Fantasyland. A ride totally based on the "Human Again" number in BatB. You'd be riding some kind of vehicle through the castle as the Enchanted Objects work at cleaning the place and singing the song!
A thrilling coaster-style ride based on the Avalanche scene in the 1960s live-action "In Search of the Castaways". You get to ride a car that looks like the piece of mountain rock and end up on a fast, twisty, crazy ride down a mountain, through hidden snowy passages, etc. This scene really was made to be a thrill ride.
Not exactly sure where this would be best situated in WDW . . .
