And, what about ... "WORK! - stage show: the cast of STOMP! destroys an office."
--sounds like a show to me.

Hey, not just any office. Why not Eisner's office? It's about time someone gave Disney a reason to move him out.

Bravo Shane!

You are trying to get something new from these guys! Something inspirationnal, something that make the business improve, get better. But as I see, it is difficult to get anything better then jokes on this site when it comes to getting serious about the future. I have tried a few times. The only serious answers I can get are always from a few regulars. It is easy to criticize. But it is difficult to really look into the future and build aomething out of our imagination. It took Walt 15 years to developp the Disneyland concept. Now I see why

Yeah, you may be right. But even if one us comes up with an idea for the best ride ever, what will come of it?

Nothing.

That's not saying that people don't try. People like Kevin and Enthusiast often map out ideas for whole parks. Maybe I'm just being lazy, but until Disney come up to me outside Disneyland with a huge clipboard and ask me what I think of Eisner, I don't intend to put much thought into my development of theme parks.

Having said that though, I think I have just come up with possibly one of the world's greatest ideas...

Disney's Time Warp!
Board Disney's latest creation, as you journey back to a time when Disney spent money on new attractions, used their imaginations on new park concepts, and actually gave a damn about what they were building! And Eisney didn't have that arrogant smile.

Sorry, what am I thinking. Eisner has always had that stupid smile.

Not to mention that it would cost at least $10, way over Disney's budget for a new park, let alone a new ride.

Listen up, you knuckleheads! There is one unexploited theme that could be a riot--perhaps literally. Welcome to Stoogeville, Hometown of Moe, Larry, Curly, Shemp, Joe, and Curly Joe. (I think that's all of 'em--maybe we can reserve a special place for Emil Sitka).

Here's a few ideas for rides and attractions:

"Moe's Offensive Driving School": These are bumper cars with attitude. Each time you bump another driver, Moe chews you out: "You lamebrain!" You im-be-cile!" Oh, a wiseguy, eh?"

"A Coasting We Will Go": Here's a coaster that only a Stooge could build--cobbled together from old pieces of pipe, rotten old lumber, and truck parts. The trains would be conglomerations of rusty old Model Ts that shake and rattle as they top the lift hill. The loop would be an old radial tire.

"Curly's Woo-Woo": Spin and along with Curly, but watch out for the spitting clams!

"Hoi-Polloi" dark ride: Climb about the Stooges' rusty old truck and take a wild spin through the grounds and all over some rich dowager's palatial mansion. Bob and weave your way, dodging burst water pipes, tottering suits of armor and grandfather clocks, and falling monkey wrenches. The big finish is, of course, a pie fight--with you in the middle!

Would I visit such a place? Soytainly! Nyuk nyuk, nyuk!

Last night just before falling asleep my mind started running with ideas for improving Disneys California Adventure.

#1, re theme golden state to Gold Rush. Make it set during the gold rush era, and have a little more adventure.
#2 re theme garden area to Spanish California Zorro time period. Make a small Zorro stunt theater.
#3 improve Grizzly Rapids with a story of exploration and search for gold. Have anamatronics of a Grizzly set in the 1890's
#4 emphasize 1920's themeing to condor flats, change ride film to a barnstormer film. Make a non-reliable pilot type the host of the ride. Make the ride-film with no cut edits, the audience could be "wing walkers"
#5 Re theme Super-Star Limo to a sort of "Toads Wild Ride" through a production studio. Think the chase scene in PeeWee's Big Adventure.
#6 Enclose Mullhound Madness and add in scenes from "World of Motion"
#7 Make a "Spook House" dark ride in PP, possibly themed to "Ichabod" "Sleepy Hollow"
#8 Add side shows to PP. Make them family friendly, Shock Show, Girl to Gorrlia etc. Possibly add a grind show (unattended exhibit).
#9 and of course add Tower of Terror which they are now doing.

You know, there's a lot of untapped creative design talent going unused on TPI if you need cheap designers...

I will make a ride that will never be the same like the other rides in any theme parks!Maybe I will build a ride like Indiana Jones but has some inversions!And of course higher and faster!Or maybe I will put a roller coaster just like Kingda Ka but higher,faster,safer,and longer!It will reach the length about 10,000 feet and the height is 500 feet with the top speed of 150 mph.But not faster moving.Cosider the safer I will put some 0-150 mph in...maybe...8-10 seconds.
