Just a Dream Away- The Imagineering Thread*Are you curious, imaginative, dedicated?

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Fun Fact:

There is NO train that goes all the way around TDL. There is a little western train ride with a few things from the DL railroad, I think.
Also, the train/tram at TDS only has two stops, but you may only ride one way.

Why? In Japan there is a law that you must pay to use any sort of train that has two or more stops. That's also why you must pay to use their (Awesome) resort monorail.

Discovery Mountain-- I actually prefer their original Space Mountain to that... It's a coll idea but it doesn't feel right to me.

The DLP Space harkened back to Jules Verne's novel, A La Terre de La Lune (From the Earth to the Moon). You were shot out of a cannon to the moon.

With Space Mountain: Mission Two, that wonderful theme has been compromised, with a worse soundtrack as well. The cannon is still there, but not the same theme.

Okay, actually, reading it through more the idea of Discovery Mountain is much more intriguing.

 

[WDWtraveler27]

really? you have to pay to ride the monorail???

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Oops its "De La Terre a La Lune" my french teacher would be ashamed...

Anywho... Discovery Mountain is growing on me--the Space Mountain rollercoaster part looks quite cool.

Their monorail is a little different.. it's more of a elevated train. It stops at all of the hotels and TDS and TDL I think.

Inside the TDL monorail.. notice the Mickey window and hand rails.

[WDWtraveler27]

hahaha cool

 

[marypops!]

It's worth paying for that

I may have to read that book after reading Journey to the Centre of the Earth (btw article, thanks for spoiling the end for me! -_-)

Discovery Mountain would have been an interesting experience. I think they still would have used a cannon, and I like how the place would have been lit up by underwater lighting

My friend went to DLP over the summer, and didn't go on Space Mountain because she thought the cannon was all there was to the ride!

Just watched Magic Music Mayhem. Went through 5 videos before getting to one to stick to, and the quality on that was also bad! It annoyed me that I couldn't find a good video of it.

I think the 4 day pass is for the monorail

Toy Story Mania coming to Tokyo Disney Sea. Exciting! It's also coming to Walt Disney Studios in Paris, but that's not too exciting... But then I can visit it

I remember watching adverts for when WDS was opening, and it would show Dinosaur as one of the rides there... Liars! But not too shocking since in the old TV adverts for DLP, it would show Cinderella Castle instead of Sleeping Beauty Castle!

On the WDW hotel TV resort channels, they play several Phantom Manor clips while advertising the Haunted Mansion.

 

[WDWtraveler27]

I am currently sketching some concept art for some of my ideas

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Awesome... I've been much to busy lately to imagineer anything... ugh.

 

[marypops!]

Hah, must be to compensate for the adverts with Cinderella Castle. I'll show you one on YouTube:

That's the one! Two offenses

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3EEe1GzZTo&feature=related
Another offense, kinda. Plus, the Alice scene is the advert i've been looking for, but longer! How I wish I could find it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBfeBT501VE&NR=1
Was watching that thinking "where have I seen this before..." then scrolled down to the comments. Watched the movie about a week before I went to WDW.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDxzo5CawEw
Just made me laugh

Yeah, all adverts, but who cares! Oh, one ToT bonus advert!

[marypops!]

Bumping up, but I can't think of anything to say... Well I do, but it's linked with one of those videos above. Yeah, you don't need to watch the video to understand what the idea is, but still... Watch them!

 

[marypops!]

May as well post it now. Just a random idea I came up with for the exit to the Tower of Terror. Not sure if it would fit in with the theme of the Twilight Zone, since it's more of a time travel type thing, but yeah...

Basically, when you exit you're in the boiler room again, except it's all new and working, and nobody's in the line. You get out and head back through the library (possibly where you can find your ride photos, on an old TV screen in black & white) and out into the lobby where it's restored back to it's former glory with CM dressed in clothing reflecting the era in which the hotel was struck by lightning, and it's functioning as a "real hotel". You get your photos from the check-in counter. Maybe the lobby could be the shop as well. That, or the courtyard is now the shop maybe? I dunno. Didn't put too much into the thought Just that advert with the dog riding ToT made me think of it

Aside from the obviously fake Skellington voice, it's BADSHNAZ. And I love Zero, though he's abnormally huge.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Supposedly it's HalloWishes music, but I've never seen HalloWishes.

I love love love the Hellfire segment.
