New Idea for Tomorrowland!

Mickey55 · 11-22-2008, 12:48 PM

I've been doing some research on Tomorrowland, and it appears that everyone's least favorite ride is Innoventions. So I came up with an idea that could bring the Circle-Vision 360 back. Here's how the ride would go...
Guests would enter through the bottom floor into a completely empty carousel theater. They would stand in the middle of the room on a raised viewing platform, looking out at 9 IMAX screens placed around the edges of the theater. This is where they could view shows similar to the original circle-vision shows, but it would be on a much larger scale. I also thought that the videos could also possibly change seasonally. This could be ready for the 55th or 60th anniversary of Disneyland if the construction started now. Sorry if somebody else already had this idea, but I forgot to check first.
Any thoughts?

Not exactly sure... Could be cool..

Could be cool but there may be a problem getting something as large as an IMAX screen inside such a small building :). That is why Horizons was so tall - it had 2 Omnimax screens inside. And look at how big Soarin' Over CA is.

Now what could really be cool, is to do an attraction like Niagara's Fury. Check it out:

It has a 360-degree screen that is digitally calibrated so that it is always inline and not overlapping. Real Waves crash below your feet and the whole floor is on hydraulics. You see and feel snow and mist. And the sound system, which uses rotary subwoofers, is really powerful.

Here is a really good video of Fury:

That is cool. I would like if they brought the Carousel of Progress back, though.

I went in the Circle Vision thing @ Epcot and it made me sooooo sick!!!! I had to look down so my stomach would stop hurting. I'm just saying from experience that people with motion sickness and such will not ride this ride. Just putting it out there. It's still a great idea for people who don't have sensitive stomachs.....
