Disneyland Australia, Open Brainstorming

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Ok Toon Town can be added as well, but Chernabog Square is right behind Fantasyland so maybe it can go to the right of Fantasyland like TDL. Big Disney Fan you can design Toon Town as your project and put whatever you want in there! :) Here is who does what so far.

Main Street U.S.A.- TBA
Adventureland- TBA
Westernland- I will do Westernland if any of you don't mind.
Badlands- world
Fantasyland- TBA
Chernabog Square- monkey4057 (minus HM, I am working on that)
Toon Town- Big Disney Fan
Tomorrowland/Discoveryland- TBA

Now remember this doesn't mean that no one else can work on that project besides that certain person. Anyone can contribute ideas and attractions to any of the lands if they would like to!

[world]

Well, I was going to choose Frontier, but that's alright.
If no one picks it, mind if I do Tomorrowland?

[MANEATINGWREATH]

You can do Tomorrowland if you would like! By the way just because I said I was going to do Westernland doesn't mean you can't contribute ideas to it. You also have the Badlands area too which is kind of like frontier.

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Ok so here is my rough draft idea on how the park will be made out.

Starting from Main Street U.S.A. the park will rotate clockwise starting with Tomorrowland, Toon Town, Fantasyland, Chernabog Square (above Fantasyland), Badlands, Adventureland, Westernland. Does that sound alright? And another question, should Western River Expedition or a newer version of Splash Mountain be the centerpiece of Westernland I can't really decide.

[monkey4057]

Well, here's my proposed idea for the 3-D show in Chernabog Square. Be aware that part of this will be improvised. Not all of it, but part of. This includes the placement of the 4D effects.

Anywho, I'll start with a working title:

VILLAINFEST

As we enter, a sign above the entrance tells us we are at the Johnson Museum. Once inside, the queue wanders past several "artifacts" from Disney films, such as Esmeralda's tambourine and Jiminy Cricket's "Honorary Conscience" badge. Eventually we reach a bin that has our black Museum Spectacles (3-D glasses) and are told to wait by the doors that lead into the theater. Eventually, the voice of the museum's curator turns on.

Curator Smithie: G'day, mates. Welcome to the Johnson Museuem. I am Curator Smithie, great grandson of the museum's founder. I'm tellin' ya, mates, this museum has some of the most amazin' and rarest artifacts around. We've recently found a very valuable new find and can't wait to show it to you. All you ladies and gents will be the very first to see it. The press is here as well. We're about ready to go in, but first some special instructions. The doors in front of you will open automatically. Then step into the theater, and move as far down to the end of the row. Those specs you have will grant you admittance to the theater, so leave them on during the presentation. Remain seated throughout, and any eatin', drinkin', or smokin' will be prohibited. We also ask you not to use still or motion picture photography of any kind. We don't know what kind of power this thing holds, so your tykes might get a little jumpy. When the show is over, exit to the right, and deposit your specs in the bins outside. Thanks for your attention, and enjoy the presentation, mates!

Now the doors open and we enter the very majestic theater. a purple curtain is at the front of the theater The press (portrayed by live actors) sit in the very front row. An CM welcomes us and repeats the reminders, also saying to put the Museum Spectacles on as we sit down. Once everyone is seated with their Spectacles on, the CM starts speaking.

Cast Member: G'day, mates. We once again want to welcome you to the Johnson Museum. Maybe I can entertain you with a bit o' museum history. It all started in 1894 when-
Press Member: Just get to the artifact!
Cast Member: Oh, right! Crikey, you lucky mates are in for a treat today!
The curtain begins to rise
Cast Member: On behalf of the Johnson Museum, I proudly present, the Scepter of Power!
The curtain has now fully risen, fully exposing the screen. On the screen is a stage with a table on it. This table holds a green, yellow, and purple scepter that has a large, red and black orb on the end. The press oohs and aahs.
Cast Member: This peculiar pole can grant the holder enormous power. But in the wrong hands...well, you mates wouldn't wanna know.
A member of the press raises her hand.
Female Press Member: Excuse me, but may I take a closer look at that scepter?
Cast Member: Sure. Just enter through that door on the right.
The press member stands up and goes through a door. She then appears on the screen and picks up the scepter.
Female Press Member: Amazing! So exquisite! You said that horrible things could happen if this were to get in the wrong hands?
Cast Member: Even worse than horrible! And even worse than that!
Female Press Member: Well, then! This must be my lucky day!
The press member laughs and suddenly turns into Maleficent. A bit of fog enters the theater. The press run out the exits screaming.
Cast Member: Don't worry, mates! Nothing security can't handle-
Maleficent: Fool! Security can't stop me! This whole theater is in my control! What am I saying? The world is in my control!!!
Maleficent tries to zap the CM with the scepter but he/she manages to get out. A flash of light occurs with zap.
Maleficent: Curses! Well, forget that fool. It's you people who should be worried! I can place this theater anywhere possible! Things are going quite swimmingly, wouldn't you say?
As Maleficent laughs evilly, the theater is encased in fog as the seats move about. When the fog clears, the stage is gone, replaced by the interior of an underwater grotto. The seats bob as if floating. Flotsam and Jetsam swim within reach of the audience.
Jetsam: Don't be scared.
Flotsam: We represent someone who can help you.
The two then swim of, snickering. Ursula then appears behind a cauldron.
Ursula: Welcome, my little poopsies. How shall I "help" you? Maybe some PORCUPINEFISH POISON!
Ursula splashes some bottled poison onto us.
Ursula: Or maybe an ESSENCE OF EEL!
She then opens another bottle and we are treated to a blast of air and a musky smell.
Ursula: Or even better...
Ursula pours both contents into the cauldron and pulls out the scepter.
Ursula: BOTH!!!
Fog fills the theater again as both water and air affects are done unto us. Ursula's laughing can be heard. We then land in front of Notre Dame, which Frollo stands in front of.
Frollo: (to the tune of his song)
Our victims
Our victims
Get ready for torture
How about
Some fire
It will be a scorcher
Frollo then pulls out the scepter and fire appears on the walls. Heat can be felt. Quasimodo then swings in holding a bucket of water.
Frollo: QUASIMODO!
Quasimodo: Hold on, guys! I'll put that fire out!
Quasi proceeds to do so, us getting a little splashed in the process.
Frollo: Fair job, my deformed child. But nothing can stop us!
The theater is once again fog-filled. The theater is now in Scar's lair.
Scar: I do say, another victim. Take them, boys.
Several hyenas crowd around the theater and then pick it up. They then carry it to a large fiery pit. Timon, Pumbaa, and Zazu are each in smaller pits ahead.
Pumbaa: I don't like this, Timon! Get me outta here!
Timon: Sorry, Pumbaa, but I'm a little busy right now.
Zazu: If only Simba were here!
They are then bursted out of their pits. Shortly afterward, we are shot out through a hole, landing in the deserted pridelands. Zazu then flies into the theater.
Zazu: Okay everyone. We have good news and bad news. The bad news is Scar's coming, and he has that wretched stick. The good news is-
Scar then lands in front of the theater, the scepter in his mouth. Zazu squaks in fright.
Scar: There's no such thing as good news for these, folks, my silly pigeon. Now, what to do with you?
Timon and Pumbaa then appear behind Scar. Timon winks at us.
Timon: Hey, pussycat! Don't send these guys to the Mountain of Evil!
Pumbaa: Yeah, it would ruin their happy little lives forever!
Scar: Very well, then. To the Mountain of Evil you shall go!
As expected, the theater is filled with fog. The theater is now in front of a large mountain. Maleficent stands in front of the mountain.
Maleficent: My, meerkats are such imbecils! Now you are all under my wrath! Now, O minions, you shall deal with me! And all the powers of evil!
Maleficent then becomes her dragon self. She tries to blow green flames onto us. The theater heats up each time. As Dragon Maleficent begins to laugh, Mickey suddenly appears in his Sorcerer's Apprentice outfit.
Mickey: Not so fast, Maleficent! You might have the size, but I've got the power!
Mickey then pulls out the scepter and points it at Maleficent.
Mickey: Say goodnight!
Rays emerge from the scepter and hit Maleficent. As they do, the theater turns black and we are exposed to strobe, fog, air, heat, water, and moving seats simultaneously. Once the fog clears, the stage is back and Mickey is standing on it.
Mickey: Sorry, everyone. But I guess nothing's perfect. Hopefully you'll come back when the museum has got a less dangerous artifact. Bye everybody!
The curtains close, the exit doors open, and Smithie's voice comes back on.
Curator Smithie: Well, mates, that's the end o' that. We hope you enjoyed the presentation, despite our minor problems, and will visit the Johnson Museum again soon. Please gather your personal belongings, and exit to your right. And don't forget to deposit your Museum Spectacles. Thanks for visitin', and enjoy the rest of your day Chernabog Square!
After depositing our Museum Spectacles, we enter into a gift shop and Villain Meet-and-Greet.

Well, hope you liked this. Post your opinions, such as what you liked and what could be improved.

Oh, and MEA, maybe Western River should be Westernland's centerpiece. Perhaps Splash could possibly be in The Badlands.

[Big Disney Fan]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think that while I do agree that your concept for Main Street is superb, it probably won't work.

A similar kind of concept was considered for Disneyland Paris' Main Street, which would have been set during America's Roaring '20s, the age of jazz and the Prohibition. So Main Street was going to be loaded with flappers, gangsters and speakeasies and an elevated rail line.

But during this phase of development, Michael Eisner watched a rerun of the old 1959 crime show, "The Untouchables". When he learned of how gangsters truly behaved during this time in American history, Eisner decided that such characters did not belong in a Disney theme park. Not a Magic Kingdom-type park, anyway; to get your fill of gangsters at a Disney park, just go to the Great Movie Ride at the Studios. But I digress.

Eisner decided that if gangsters could not fit in a Disney park, then next to nothing themed to this time period could, either, so he had this version of Main Street aborted and instead resorted to the tried-n-true turn-of-the-century feel used in so many other parks.

But then, you did say a 1930s theme, which isn't that much different from the 1920s, save for the Depression and such, but then are you going to be having any streetmosphre characters in your Main Street?

And also, include Splash Mountain. Where will it go and can I do that one?

[MANEATINGWREATH]

I liked the idea monkey4057 it was very cool! The only improvement it needs is maybe one more villain, maybe Captain Hook or Monstro or something. But it was a really neat show and I can see a 3D effect placed in the Mickey fighting the dragon sequence. As for the rest of Chernabog Square would you mind doing the Bald Mountain Coaster as well, I don't know if I asked you already. As for the Haunted Mansion, I have come up with "The Haunted Castle." It will be very similar to the original only it will feature a dragon and a few medieval bits of theming, I will post a ridethrough soon. I have taken your advice on putting WRE as the centerpiece of Westernland but I personally don't think Splash would be a good choice for the Badlands as the badlands are based off of the Australian frontier, and Splash Mountain takes place in the American south.

[MANEATINGWREATH]

I will post The Haunted Castle ridethrough soon.

[MANEATINGWREATH]

To Big Disney Fan, Splash Mountain can go maybe in a new Critter Country land beyond the berm of Westernland. I will drop the Westernland Jamboree show all together (I didn't like it that much) and just bring my Country Bear Revue show I designed for DCA to Westernland. You can do Critter Country and Splash if you would like just please include Brer Wolf in the land somehow, (I have a soft spot for that critter for some reason)

Okay, but I thought Badlands would be the new Critter Country.

[monkey4057]

Thanks! I'll post a new villain sequence to take place between the Frollo and Scar sequences. The Bald Mountain coaster should be easy enough. Then I'll do the Nightmare Before Christmas ride. Coincidentally, I have done rides on these subjects but I will differentiate them. (The thread in question is called Villain Mountain-Villain Land. Villainfest is even based partly on Villain Mountain) I understand about Splash. Perhaps possibly even in Fantasyland (hey, they are storybook characters).

EDIT: Just saw the Critter Country post

[Big Disney Fan]

Now that you mention it, actually, Splash Mountain would make a good fit for Fantasyland. Of course, it would have to be right next to the border of Fantasyland and Westernland. And we would have to go with the orchestral, Song of the South-style score as well.

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Oh okay, Critter Country can replace the Badlands, and Westernland can be placed next to that instead of Adventureland. Go ahead and start imagineering! :)

No, keep the Badlands, Splash Mountain can go in Fantasyland instead.

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Oh also to Big Disney Fan Splash Mountain should go in Fantasyland because it can work, but there is only one problem. I am designing Westernland as we speak and I have replaced the Rivers of America with Conestoga and stagecoach trails that ride through the wilderness so Splash Mountain may not have a good landing point although there is a river in the trails.
