Alright, I haven't been being lazy about my ideas, I've just been pensive and all over paper about them! Anyways, I've been working on a Pocahontas ride for quite some time now (about three months) and have two rough maps of two scenes, Imagine being right in the movie while Pocahontas and John meet at first. Then when Granmother Willow tells Pocahontas to listen to her heart. This is just a begaining and i know im lacking details, but rest assured there will be some. Just not now.

hehe. I said I was going to update.... oopps.... Oh well, no time like the present! DD, I've never actually seen the Pocahontas show at AK, But I feel that there needs to be a ride thats all encompassing and has a lot of music, I feel like that movie would fall apart without the music, therefor the ride should not lack it at all.
Anyways, back to the updates, sorry I have not Images to share (you'd laugh yourself to death if you saw my makeshift story board out of post it notes....) So without further udo, what I have so far:
Preshow: Ok, so I don't really have a preshow, I do have part of it however... I really like strong preshows because lines are the most boring thing ever. Ok well lines at a supermarket are worst, because if you try to talk to a stranger, they'll stare at you funny. Back to my point, all I know is that there will be an animatronic Granmother Willow there to talk to people (kind of like turtle talk).
Backround info: As I said before, there is a LOT of music in this, so the music shall be in italics while the actions will be regular print. This ride would be in Frontierland, as the natives are now vastly underrepresented there. I'm not sure what the outside looks like yet, nor the shape of the building or what the audience experiences during the preshow. I'm working on that. I however do know some things like, the ride is COMPLETELY inside, and that you go through on boats that are shaped and painted like authentic canoes. The canoe is on a track, and the bottom of the water has some kind of mirror effect (which could indeed be a real mirror), so it shows the reflection of the scecery.
And due to time restraints, this is all I can type (i got a few 10 ish pages) but I have to get off the comp now, so for later

i think it should be interactive on which path you go
you should be able to choose which path you go on

can you elaborate on that? I have a pretty linear idea of the ride, but I'd love to hear what your idea is.

First I'm going to request that anyone who veiws this to PLEASE REVEIW IT!!!!! I Need feedback even if its negative I have 260 veiws, and only 2 people that reveiwed and I'd really appreciate more!!!!!!
Anyways, heres more: Once you load into your boat, and are sent off, you are immediatly greeted by the English Company singing about there voyage. However, we mustn’t terry over this for we have a lot to do. We hear the lines “In 1607 we sailed the open seas, for glory, god and gold, and the virginia company,” We see Smith board via swining canon that goes over the boat you are currently in. You hear a large crash as you go through a tunnel. Your boat is now going out of control, for the storm is throwing everything out of balance, luckily, another transition tunnel, and your home free. The wonderous native chanting greets you “aya aya lalala aya steady as the beating drum” you hear as you travel inbetween the lovely green/blue and purple trees, just like in the movie when you come to the “Pocahontas” movie sign (which does not appear in the ride). From there, you travel to a cliff pride-rock thingie, and watch Pocahontas jump off the boat upon hearing that her father is back. You turn a corner and presto! “Marry Kokoum, but he’s so serious” “But he’s steady” (yes we have to improvise, TIME CUTS AGGG!!!) “Like the steady beating drum.” That part, he stops singing and says “Your mother wore this on our wedding day, it was her dream to see you wear it on your own.” Which is where I stop for today because due to some more complex stuff, it’s a wee harder to explain
