Just for fun. Think of the most obscure, off-the-wall attractions & rides that (thankfully) a Disney theme-park never saw come to life.
For starters:
1. Rock-Less Roller Coaster Starring Yanni
Blast from 0 to 2 in less than 3 minutes on this in-the-dark coaster. The story: You are trying to escape a God-awful Yanni concert. The only route away from this sick mess of a show is on a slow moving "Limo". You hop aboard your Limo cars, and journey through Hollywood scenes as your seat speakers play such Yanni classics as "After the Sunrise", "First Touch", and "Reflections of Passion". **Warning**:Guests do exit this attraction through a gift shop. Please note that actually buying Yanni merchandise and CD's will only encourage Yanni to continue making music.
2. Disney's Depressing Moments Parade
Line the streets of Mainstreet U.S.A. boys and girls, 'cause every afternoon, Disney's Depressing Moments Parade comes rolling along. Guests of all ages will delight to floats with favorite Disney characters re-acting some of Disney's most shocking and buzzkill moments. For instance: Watch as a young Simba mourns over a trampled Mufasa, a heartbroken Buzz Lightyear finding out the harsh truth that he is only a child's toy, Bambi looking for his mother after the hunters...you get the idea. The parade goes down the streets of the Magic Kingdom to the lively music of Frollo's song "Hellfire" from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Parade runs daily at 3:00pm
3. The Hall of Presidents: Now Politics-Free!
A Liberty Square classic attraction gets a much needed makeover. Seeing how the DIS forums have become much less heated and more friendly now that the discussions of politics & religion have been removed, the Disney parks have decided to adopt the same policy.
Opening this summer, the Hall of Presidents will have a new, non-political look. Watch as lifelike animatronic figures of former and current U.S. presidents talk about anything BUT politics. In a nutshell, you enter the large theater and watch as the latest addition, President Barack Obama, talks to the audience for approx 20-min about why he thinks the Lakers will repeat the championship in 2010. (After the pre-show film detailing what Lincoln's favorite breakfast dishes included).
4. The Black Cauldron: A Musical Adventure
New stage show at the Disney Hollywood Studios. Watch this broadway-style show as live actors sing & dance to the timeless musical classics from Disney's The Black Cauldron. This foot-tapping, finger-snapping performance runs daily. Check guide map for show times. Seating fills up early.
5. Shootin' A Rabid Old Yeller Arcade
My apologies in advance for this one.
New shooting arcade located at Magic Kingdom's Frontierland. Kids young & old take aim at "putting down" lifelike rabid Old Yeller animatronic targets. Additional cost for playing this arcade not included in your park ticket.
Okay guys, I am really, really sorry for that one.
6. New Country Pavillion At Epcot: The Afghan Experience
Okay I'm not even going to touch this one.
7. Disney's Obscure Character Meet & Greet
New rehab for Mickey's Toontown area. Children young & old can enter tents to meet, have their picture taken with, and get autographs from some of Disney's not-so-well-known characters. Appearances daily by characters such as: The ant you see run by briefly during a panic scene in A Bug's Life. The 13th Hun soldier on the 4th row from the battle scene in Mulan. A New York city pedestrian from Oliver & Company. Some random jellyfish from Finding Nemo. Also, ask a Disney cast member about special reservation times where you & your family can have breakfast with the entire cast from Newsies.
So have your cameras ready and your autograph books out!
8. Rainforest Cafe Rehab & New Additions
Addition includes new, feces-throwing animatronic gorillas to add to the realism.
9. Work In Progress: The Pre-Ride Experience
This new perk for resort guests allows visitors who arrive early to get to ride upcoming Disney attractions that have yet to be completed all the way. This also applies to rides which are down for rehab.
10. Captain Jack's Buccaneer Rum Party
Inspired by Disney's Princess tea party. Now your little boys can have a "tea" of their own. Young buccaneers and their parents can attend a swashbuckling rum party with everyone's favorite pirate, captain Jack Sparrow. You & your children can sit and drink the finest rums & liquors as you are entertained by a singing and story-telling Capt. Jack. All children attending will each receive one pirates hat, and an authentic blade of steel. Drinks served include Bacardi and Havana Club rum. Reservations are required, and do fill up fast
Why I wouldn't make a good imagineer.
