I was reading some posts over on the Fantasyland Expansion boards and I saw that a lot of people were saying things like, "Instead of a Beast Castle and village, what about a ride where..." and "I hate the Princess M&G area taking over SWSA. How about a Lion King dark ride?"
This got me to thinking, what would YOU like to see in the parks?
I would LOVE to see a Beauty and the Beast dark ride in France in WS. Many people would love a new WS ride, and Beauty and the Beast is wildly popular. Imagine, traveling through Beast's castle, watching while Lumiere and Cogsworth are giving you, a guest to the castle, a "tour" of the place when suddenly Belle's dad shows up...we all know what happens from here. We ride through a shortened version of the BATB plot (we see a Be Our Guest scene, we watch as the objects try to get Belle and Beast to fall in love, we see Gaston try to kill Beast then fall, then we see the finale where everyone is human again.) With the amazing soundtrack and just general popularity of BATB, I think it could be done. I think rather than just characters being painted on the wall with a soundtrack of their voices like SWSA, either audio animatronics could be used, OR... the technology from the Nemo Ride could be used. Reflect video of the characters onto glass. Behind the glass could be vibrant paintings of castle backdrops and...whew. My imagination gets carried away sometimes.
As for being brought back, I want the Skyway and the Swan boats!
So now I ask you, what rides/shows would you like the Imagineers to add to WDW?
