A New VMK (Open Brainstorming)

If you could expand it to have all worldwide parks and have localized events and global events, that'd be fun, and make it more financially viable, because you could get more draws in Europe and the Far East. and instead of designing those odd little houses, you could have the option of having a resort suite.

I dunno. I liked bits of VMK, but overall there was a lot I would've changed. I've got pics of VMK from it's place at One Man's Dream at DHS

A chat filter is very necessary... otherwise we'd have people cursing all over the place. The moderators would really need to enforce the no dictionary dancing rule though.

Yes, if you have all the parks, then you can possibly visit other parks, and while there might be a good bit of regional language being used, at least you could see somewhat what those parks are like. Integrating actual park footage at each place might be a nice touch, too. You could encourage members to come on during fireworks or parades and either watch or take advantage of shorter lines like in the real park. And perhaps there could be some kind of neat mini-quest that you enter into after the park 'closes' for the night.

Okay, I'm getting a little too spontaneous with the ideas, but VMK had so much potential, and I really wish they had done more with it.

-Ara

no, the spontaneous ideas are really good! and if that's what you meant with the POV, then I like that idea.

and I think they would have done more if it hadn't closed (I was there the last day, and they sold TSMM carnival stuff like a darkride set, meaning that they must have planned things for everything, but then it closed.)

and I'm kind of contemplating an idea where you have like kind of a personal page like Myspace (don't worry, this would be safer!) like the Homepage thing they have where you can visit other pages and have your own avatar like a character or an attraction. well, it's kind of hard to explain, so just think Myspace, but friendlier for now, and until I announce I have the art for it done, just go along with it.

we will have a chat filter, but we should actually allow numbers, but except for the fact that you will be able to type in two numbers in your sentence.

^Your Myspace thing sounds like Habbo Hotel.

^forget I even mentioned that, then... unless you guys think it's a good idea...

[TrevorA]

^It's not a bad idea, but I understand where you're coming from...

It would be cool if your character could ride the rides. There could be a view like this:

[Disneyland_DHI]

^that's what we're going for.

so, where should we start?

[TrevorA]

How much do we want to keep the same?


---TrevorA

[AraBrokenDreamer]

I dunno, I didn't play much. I'd like to keep most of the attractions they had (firework creator, the music in the monorail, the rides, how some clubs could make their own rides), but let's set the layouts back to how the park really is laid out, and include more parks (maybe even a few resorts and such for clubs).

-Ara

[MANEATINGWREATH]

We should definitely make more of the parks and rides explorable. I think somebody already said that though.

Oh ok, I heard POV thrown around in there, I just wasn't sure if that was it.

It would be cool if they made a park called "Yesterland", which would contain a bunch of extinct attractions (PeopleMover, Skyway, Old Submarine Voyage, Country Bear Jamboree, etc.)

[TrevorA]

^That's a really good idea. Although, some of those attractions aren't quite extinct yet.

I also liked Ara's idea for a VMK hotel. Maybe we could have one hotel to start with, and you can buy different rooms/suites. Studio, two bedroom, that sort of thing.

VMK will remain the exact same, but with additions and a few changes:

In Frontierland at the Golden Horseshoe Mercantile, the curtain will be opened to reveal the Country Bears as NPC's?

more rides will be rideable, including the old two-tracked Mr. Toad from MK, meaning that the FYL courtyard will be expanded

Toon Town could be added, including Roger Rabbit's Wild Ride.

the Firework game will be renamed to match the firework show currently playing at Disneyland.

You will actually be able to visit the Tiki Room with the Tiki birds as NPC's.

the hotel will be added (Ara, you read my mind.) with the themed rooms staying the same, as well as some new rooms.

new games!

new parks!

there is info about the park you're at in a specific area.
