Disneyland Australia, Open Brainstorming

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Hello everyone, I have posted a thread about an Australian Disneyland before and I guess no one red it so, I made this thread, where anyone can freely come in and help design a Disney park for Australia. I think it should either be built outside of Sydney or Melbourne. Anyhow I believe this park should be a traditional magic kingdom, only it will be more unique than the others, it will feature unique lands and new attractions, attractions that will definitely transport Australians to a different world. But that doesn't mean that classic attractions can't be placed here like Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Small World, Country Bears, and Star Tours. So to get us all started:

International Street: Replacing the traditional Main Street U.S.A. is a new land, International Street, somewhat of a smaller version of World Showcase, complete with Japanese, Canadian, Italian, Greek, Arabian, African, Australian, Colonial America, New Orleans, and Turn of the Century midwestern America. The entrance to the park will feature the traditional Mickey Mouse planter, and Main Street railroad station, only once you are beyond the tunnels under the railroad track you are in the world bazaar of sorts. I think a Chinese Dinner Animatronic Show will be placed here, as well as an omnibus, a parade, and a few other things.

I think Frontierland should be renamed Westernland (like TDL) and will have a theater housing a new version of the Country Bear Jamboree, called Westernland Jamboree, somewhat of a smaller scale version of America Sings featuring the original bear jamboree characters of Henry, Gomer, Big Al, Melvin, Buff, Max, and the rest of the cast will be other assorted critters like
skunks, rabbits, wolves, coyotes, alligators, eagles, racoons, porcupines, beavers, mountain lions, etc. The show will also be dedicated to Steve Irwin.

Please join in on the fun people, come up with some ideas! And how do you like my starting ideas? Please reply!

[world]

Eh, I dont know about the mainstreet idea, but maybe an updated version, with new ideas like the elevated trams?
As for Westernland, why not tie that in with Australia and call it "The Badlands" ?

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Ok cool, the Badlands area will be like somewhat of an Australian version of Critter Country or New Orleans Square, ok. And about main street, I really just thought it over and it would probably look weird with all these condensed buildings from different parts of the world so maybe I will go with the original midwestern turn of the century town with a few other attractions. Maybe it could have a 1930's theme to it or something, and a newer version of The Haunted Mansion can be placed here or placed in the Badlands. I like the elevated tram idea though, maybe that can be placed in the future area (I haven't thought of a name yet, I am thinking about either Tomorrowland or Discoveryland). As for the badlands, I don't really no much about Australia so what would be placed there and what would it look like?

[world]

Well, the Badlands would actually be a replacement of Frontierland. Basically it could resemble the outback, with a BTMR tied in with it.
As for the updated Main Street, I like that. Possibly something like what they had planned for DLRP?

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Ok that does make more sense since the Badlands is basically the Australian frontier. Hmmm do they have gold mines in Australia? Should there be a rivers of Australia or something like that? I really want to keep some sort of Country Bear Jamboree show, maybe American elements can be merged with Adventureland somehow or it can be added to Fantasyland or something. As for Main Street I think it should be themed to a 1930's midwestern town. I wonder what the park icon should be?

[MANEATINGWREATH]

I have come up with a new land, Chernabog Square, a Disney villains themed land directly behind Fantasyland, about the same size of Mickey's Toon Town. It will be themed to a ruined European village under the shadow of Bald Mountain. Built here will be a different version of The Haunted Mansion, Night on Bald Mountain (a roller coaster ride themed off of the Fantasia cartoon), a Disney villain 4-D film, and maybe a Nightmare Before Christmas dark ride. This land will open let's say seven or ten years after the park opens to boost attendance and cut back on budget problems.

[world]

why not just about 3-5 years?

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Ya that sounds much better, I'd say maybe four years. Anyhow I have an idea for the Badlands. It will be an EMV jeep ride through the Australian wilderness in search of the legendary Yowie which some people call the Australian version of Bigfoot. Anyhow it is a thrill ride that features many audio animatronics. I am also thinking of a desert island theme for Adventureland.

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Ok so here is a list of the lands I have so far.

Main Street U.S.A. (1930's or 1950's theme)
Adventureland
Westernland
Badlands
Fantasyland
Chernabog Square
Tomorrowland

Please people come share your ideas, I don't want to do this alone!

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Ok now like I promised here is a script for the promised Westernland Jamboree show which is a combo of America Sings and the Country Bear Jamboree. But knowing Disney they will probably tear it out years later and make a Pooh ride in it's place and move all the audio animatronics into a new Splash Mountain.

(The show begins with spotlights focusing on the three heads on the wall, Buff making a horrid
whistling noise)

Buff: Hey Henry, what's holding ya up? Let's get on with the show! We can't hang around here all day.

Max: Now Buff, be patient. It takes a little doing to set these things up. (Henry's curtain opens up
on stage four)

Melvin: Ya, we ain't going anywhere anyhow, we're kind of hung up here!

Henry: Ok, ok boys, take it easy, take it easy. Now we're ready to start. Sorry folks, I'll be right
with you. (Gomer rises from the center stage at his piano as Henry clears his throat) Give me
a little intro there Gomer. (Gomer begins to play Pianjo) Howdy folks, welcome to the one and only
original Westernland Jamboree. Featuring a bit of Americana, the west's musical heritage of the
past. But enough of this chit chat, yick yack, and flim flam. Just refrain from hibernating, ha ha,
and enjoy the show, because we got a lot to give. (Gomer continues to play)

Melvin: Hey, he's a regular Liberace.

Buck: And he plays good too. (The red curtain behind Gomer opens up to show the Swamp Boys playing
away on their part of the stage)

Henry: And now, put your paws, claws, and wings together for, the Swamp Boys and Gomer!

Swamp Boys and Henry: You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away

Henry: Clap to the beat folks!

Old Ironjaw: The other night dear as I lay dreaming
I dreamt that you were by my side
Came disillusion when I awoke dear
You were gone and then I cried

Swamp Boys and Henry: You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away

Henry: Now that's real country boys.

(The Swamp Boys, Henry, and Gomer disappear as Milton Lion appears on stage two)

Milton: Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam

Buff: Hey!

And the deer and the antelope play

Max: Well I do declare!

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play

Max: This song is offensive to us deer folk!

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

(Henry reappears on Stage Four as Milton heads backstage)

Henry: (Softly) Ladies and gents, the moving musical stylings of Miss Bunny.

Miss Bunny: (Miss Bunny appears on Stage Four) When I was single,
dressed all so fine.
Now I am married,
go ragged all the time.
Lord, I wish I was a single girl again.

Henry: That was a mighty deep song Miss Bunny.

Miss Bunny: Oh why thank you Henry! (Miss Bunny disappears but Henry stays, My Woman Ain't Pretty
begins to play)

Henry: And now a heart rendering ditty, by our own howler of song, Wolf McHowl! Sing it Mac!

(Wolf appears on Stage One)

Wolf: I got a woman, she's got me.
Whatever we do, we both agree
She ain't purty, but I ain't too.
The things we like are the things we do.

My woman ain't purty, but she don't swear none.
She's kinda heavy, don't weigh a ton.
She's my woman, through and through
I love her only cause my heart is true.

(Henry and Wolf go backstage as the Swamp Boys return)

Swamp Boys: Oh, I went down south for to see my Sal,
singing polly wolly doodle all the day.
My Sally is a spunky gal,
singing polly wolly doodle all the day.
Fare thee well.
Fare thee well.
Fare thee well my fairie fae.
I'm off to Louisiana for to see my Suzy-anna,
singing polly wolly doodle all the day. (They go backstage and Henry appears with a guitar on Stage
Two)

Henry: And now, the Spanish selection of Senor Coyote! (Coyote appears on Stage Four)

Coyote: (in Hispanic accent)
Who shot that hole in my sombrero?
Who put that bullet through my hat?
Who shot that hole in my sombrero?
Who would do a terrible thing like that?

I cain't figger
who'd pull that trigger.
You don't reckin mah wife could be back in ty-own? (Coyote goes back)

Henry: Ha ha ha, My my. Now here she is, that delightful, delicate, dedicated dimple darling of the
Dakotas. The last of the big time swingers. Swinging Teddi Berra! Swing it Teddi! (Teddi descends
from the ceiling as her song begins to play)

Max: Wowee, here she comes.

Buff: Oh sing it gal.

Melvin: She sure is purdy! Hu hu.

Teddi: (Raindrops fall as thunder crashes) I'm singin' in the rain,
just singin' in the rain.
What a glorious feelin'.
I'm happy again.

Henry: I'm feeling pretty cheerful myself.

Teddi: I'm laughing at clouds.

Henry: Laughing at clouds.

Teddi: So dark up above.

Henry: Dark up above.

Teddi:
The sun's in my heart,
and I'm ready for love.

Henry: Me too!

Teddi:
Let the stormy clouds chase,
everyone from the place.
Come on with the rain.
I've a smile on my face.
I walk down the lane.

Henry: Walk down the lane.

Teddi: With a happy refrain.

Henry: Happy refrain.

Teddi:
Just swingin'
and singin',
in the rain.

Teddi: You all come up and see me some time, ya hear?!

Henry: Yeah, as soon as I find a ladder, I'll be right up! Uh-huh.

(She heads back up as Henry returns backstage, Gomer ascends from center stage as the Boot Hill Boys
pull out of the top of the center stage. Gomer's cheerful piano now sounds like a dull pipe organ as
the bruin plays the first note of Tocatta and Fugue)

Vulture 1: We have a little story for all you tasty morsels!

Vulture 2: A story of Billy the Kid! (Gomer ceases Tocatta and Fugue and begins the notes to "Billy
the Kid"0

Vulture 1: Billy was a bad guy,
and carried a big gun.

Vulture 2: He was always after lawmen,
and kept them on the run. Muhhaha.

Vulture 1: One day he met a bandit,

Vulture 2: Who was a whole lot badder.

Both: Now Billy's dead and gone,
and we ain't none the sadder! Muwhaha! (The Swamp Boys reappear as Henry reappears on Stage Two as
Gomer descends back and the Boot Hill Boys stay)

Mrs. Ironjaw: Hey honey, Jr. Ironjaw here wants a story.

Old Ironjaw: A real, scary story?

Jr. Ironjaw: Uh huh.

Old Ironjaw: Alright then. (Clears throat)
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day.

Henry: Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way.

Mrs. Ironjaw: When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw.

Henry: A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw.

Swamp Boys, Boot Hill Boys, and Henry: Yippie yi ayyyy.
Yippie yi ooooh.
Ghost Riders in the sky.

Vulture 1:
Their brands were still on fire,
their hooves were made of steel.

Vulture 2:
Their horns were black and shiny,
and their hot breath he could feel.

Mrs. Ironjaw:
A bolt of fear went through him.
as they thundered through the sky.

Swamp Boys, Boot Hill Boys, and Henry:
For he saw the Riders coming hard,
and he heard their mournful cry.
Yippie yi ayyyy.
Yippie yi ooooh.
Ghost Riders in the sky. (Thunder crashes and everyone laughs and screams. There is a blackout until
a bright spotlight shines on the red curtain of stage one. An out of tune guitar strum is heard
from behind it, it opens to show remarkable Big Al)

Big Al: There was blood on the saddle
and blood all around
And a great big puddle
of blood on the ground!
Hehehe

(Henry reappears on Stage Five this time with a coonskin cap on, suddenly a raccoon raises from the
top of it looking around the room smiling)

Henry: Born on the mountain top in Tennessee
greenest state in the land of the free.
Raised in the woods, so he knew every tree.
Tamed him a b'ar when he was only three.

Henry and Sammy: Davy, Davy crockett. King of the Wild Frontier.
Up through the woods, he's a marching along
making up yarns and a singing his song.
Itchin' fer fightin' and rightin' a wrong.... (Suddenly curtain one opens and Big Al begins singing
Blood on the Saddle again)

Henry: Hey, wait just a minute! Hold the phone down there, you've had your turn.

Sammy: Henry, Henry, we need help!

Henry: Right Sammy! Hey gang hit it!

(All the curtains open up and the entire cast minus Miss Bunny and Wolf McHowl come out and sing,
even Teddi Barra comes down from the ceiling. Big Al continues to play, not seeming to notice the
other performers)

Cast: Well he's big around the middle
and he's broad across the rump,
running 90 miles an hour
making 30 feet a jump.
He's never been cornered
and he's never been treed.
Some folks say he's looks a lot like me.

High on the mountain,
tell me what do you see?
Bear tracks, bear tracks,
looking back at me.

Better get your rifles
before it's too late.
Bears got a little big,
and he's headed through the gate.

He's big around the middle
and he's broad across the rump,
running 90 miles an hour
making 30 feet a jump.
He's never been cornered
and he's never been treed.
Some folks say he's looks a lot like me.

(The whole theater goes dark quickly and a horrible crashing noise is heard from Big Al's stage)

Henry: Ha ha ha ha, well as you can see we are just one big happy family. Well folks, this concludes
our show so thanks for bearing with us to the end and come around to see us again real soon. What
do you say Sammy?

Sammy: I say you all come back, ya hear? (Attendant dismisses us and Henry, Sammy, and the heads
give us a parting song)

Henry and Sammy: We hope that you'll be coming back again.
That's you'll drop in and see us now and then.
We've done our very best to please
With just the bear necessities
We hope that you'll be comin' back again.

Come again, come again.

Melvin: The welcome mat is always out,
cause seein you is fun!

All: We hope that you'll be comin' back again.
That you'll drop in to see us now and then.

Max: We've had such fun we're going to cry.

Buff: We just can't bear to say goodbye.

All: We hope that you'll be coming back again.

Max: Don't forget to gather your belongings.......

Melvin: And your husbands too.

Max: It's been good to have you.

Buff: So long folks.

[monkey4057]

Maybe I can help you with a bit of Chernabog Square. Specifically the 4D show and the NBC ride.

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Go ahead monkey4057

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Only can I work on the Haunted Mansion, that is my favorite ride and I am thinking about making it maybe the Haunted Castle or something and it will look like a ruined medieval castle following many of the original ride scenes with a few new suprises along the way. Paul Frees and Corey Burton will take the role of the Ghost Host. Feel free to go wild with the 4D show and NBC dark ride and their surrounding areas!

Not unless you include Splash Mountain and a Pooh ride in the park from the beginning like this show.

Anyway, what about a Toontown? You should include a Toontown in your park as well.

[monkey4057]

Thanks, MEA! I hope to post them soon.
