Since my earlier post, I have been thinking of ways to improve what is already in place or to act on some of the early plans made by WED, rather than construct new attraction ideas with the same old (insert latest movie character here). Here is a list of ideas going park by park. Some ideas are mine and some are not. I am also not sure of the feasibility or logistics that go into each improvement. However, I am still interested in your feedback.
Magic Kingdom:
1- Gut the pooh ride and add something that does not use cardboard cut outs and black lights. Perhaps a new dark ride with original characters IE: tiki birds or the country bears. If movie characters are needed, add all AA figures, heck even keep Pooh (even though the cartoon is not that popular with kids these days) just make it a palatable ride.
2- Tear down the Pooh meet and greet area and add a ride exclusively for little girls. perhaps a princess dark ride. I personally do not have girls, but I feel that the attractions you would think would be for girls is not IE: snow white or even the castle that you cannot enter most of the time due to a stage in front. The Magic Kingdom or more specifically Fantasy land seems to be lacking a magical ride for little girls.
3- Instead of "re-doing" an beloved attraction, just add to it. wouldn't it be great if they added a few more rooms to the haunted mansion or pirates while keeping the integrity of the original ride. I know that both rides "tell a story" but I think they could be added to without removing anything that people have loved for so many years. And no I don't mean throwing in Jack Sparrow here and there. Or how about the 2 mountains (not including splash). For crying out loud give us the payoff!! you go on each ride with the click, click, click, click up a hill... you reach the crest and then..... nothing:( Just change the track layout. I do not mean a swallow your tongue type hill, but at least a splash mountain type of drop would be adequate. The non drop has annoyed me ever since i was tall enough to go on each of the rides.
4- lose the Aladdin carpet snooze. How about a peter pan type flight ride over Acraba.<- (not my idea, I read it on this site) Or even a choose you own adventure part at the end IE:horizons. But instead of just choosing, you would get to make a wish to the genie
I just realized that this is getting very long winded and I have not made it to any of the other parks. If anyone would like me to continue, please let me know, if not at least let me know what you think. Lastly wouldn't it be great to add the thunder mesa/western river expedition near splash and thunder mountain. Minus all of the drunk Indian stereo types, of course ;)
