Legend of the Lion King

[DisneyMan1]

Hi, everybody, it's me, DisneyMan1. I have this amazing idea for a new dark ride based on a film that definetly needs one. It's called

LEGEND OF THE LION KING

For this ride idea, I'd put it in Adventureland at Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris and either Epcot (since I wanna expand the African Outpost and make it its own pavilion) or Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. Here's how it's gonna go down:

You enter through an area made to look like Timon & Pumbaa's oasis home. You pass by waterfalls, logs and tons of bugs. Then you get to the loading area featuring a mural of all the characters from the movie. The ride vehicle is a wildebeest that can actually turn 360 degrees around. Once you board your vehicle, you pass through some leaves and rotate 90 degrees to face Rafiki. He says

"Oh-ho-ho! Off on an adventure, I see? Well, please remember to keep your hands, arms, feet and legs inside your wildebeest at all times, and all you kings and queens out there, please keep an eye on your littlest princes and princesses out there. Have a fun time on your trip! Goodbye!"

Then, we rotate again to face straightwards, then rotate again to the left, to see Mufasa and Simba looking up at the stars. Mufasa recites the same thing he did during this scene in the film.

Then, we enter the "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" scene. We ride past Simba and Nala riding on ostriches, and walking under an arch of zebras, and all the while, Zazu is trying to catch up to them. Then, we spin around the animal tower and before we leave, we see the silhouette of the tower falling.

We then enter the Elephant Graveyard. We see many creepy eyes peering at us. Then, Shenzi, Banzai and Ed pop out at us and start to threaten us, but luckily we enter the next room.

Scar stands next to us as he says "Wait here. I've got a surprise for you." Then, all of a sudden, a stampede of wildebeest come down and take us into the stampede with us. After running with them for a bit, we rotate a bit and see Mufasa hanging over the ledge. We hear Scar say "Long live the king", then we see a clip of Mufasa falling and we hear Simba yell out "No....!"

We immediately enter the jungle, where we pass by a beautiful "Hakuna Matata" scene. We cruise on a river, and pass by bugs on leaves, the gang on vine swings and finally, we see Timon, Pumbaa and Simba walk on a log together by a waterfall.

We pass through the waterfall and see Mufasa giving his little speech to Simba. "Remember who you are. You are my son and the one true king."

We then enter the climatic fight scene. First, we pass by Timon and Pumbaa distracting the hyenas, then see Simba kicking Scar's butt.

All of a sudden, things get dark as we hear Mufasa's voice: "Remember..." Then, we hear Simba roar as we enter the final scene.

We hear "Circle of Life" as we see the presentation of Simba and Nala's new cub. At the edge of Pride Rock are Timon and Pumbaa, who provide the final safety spiel.

Then, we exit out and continue the rest of our day.

What wasn't legend of the lion king a ride, plus I like the idea why can't we put it in AK (since they probably won't make Africa, since its already in AK) were festival of the lion king is

[Disneyson1]

Can we have a "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" scene? I feel like it's definitely missing. Also, prehaps a bit more elaboration of script would be nice, because the idea is so great and I would just really like to see it extended a bit more.

[Jaalin32]

Ditto

[DisneyMan1]

Yes, I forgot a "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" scene. But, I don't have any ideas for the script right now. Hopefully, I will soon.

[Jaalin32]

I think we should show an animation shadow(like in Mount everest when we see the yeti tear the tracks) of scar and Simba fighting instead of animatronics.

[DisneyMan1]

Cool idea, Jaalin.

[Jaalin32]

Yea also we should show a mix of animation and animatronics when were portraying Simba growing up then we move to can we feel the love tonight
