VS.

Iron Imagineer mickeysgal

---

Welcome, sports fans, to another round of skill and schemery; a battle in which the tried and true will come to match their whims and wishes in competition to see whose imagination reigns supreme!

There has been a challenge made to our Iron Imagineer mickeysgal by Iron Imagineer tloolgb!

Once again, we invite the Imagineers to brainstorm on separate threads to give us a look at the things to come.

Now, with both of our Imagineers ready to begin to don their thinking mouskears, we have the revelation of our Secret ingredient.


And Now...

Our secret ingredient is:



The Incredibles!

Make an "Incredible" attraction! Your choice of Disney Park.

Once again, we are going for our usual criteria:

Taste (10), Originality (5) , and Plating (5)

Good luck to both Iron Imagineers!

"ALA IMAGINE!!!"

I will once again volunteer my esteemed wit, charm, Disney knowledge, and incredible use of the English language to judge if my services are needed. I did though judge the last competition and will gladly make way for other judges if necessary.

Have a great day!

Absolutely!

And that's a cool new avatar!

Thanks! The old one was a little too big and although it showed some good animation markings, I was not a big fan of the picture itself. I like this one much better.

Have a great day!

If you need me, I'm here. This time I won't forget since the World Cup is over... :cry:

P.S. I also need to get a new avatar, I'm sick of this one and I need one I won't be sick of ever so I can have one of those never-gonna-change avatars like some users here have...

Okay, I'll try to get a new avatar done for you, soon.

So, I think we've got our judges. Peter will judge for me, too.

So, we're all set here at MAPO Stadium.

Here's a new avatar for you Taran.

That's funny! But I don't think I wanna wear that!! I was thinking something darker and mystical, there's no real need for "Taran" to even be in the picture. You know that scene in the movie with the cool green smoke coming out of the cauldron? That would be cool! Something like that!

I love the Denny's one!

Battle Incredible! Sounds great - & I'll definitely be a judge again.

Oooh. Incredibles. Now this is more like it. Now you say attraction. Please define. Does that mean one...or can an attraction be a wider range of things?

Have A Good One!
tloolgb

Well, I wouldn't make a whole themed land of it, but an attraction with a gift shop and/or restaurant would be cool.

It really depends on how all out you want to go -- that's where taste comes into it.

Hmm. Okay.

How long do we have again?

Have A Good One!

You have until midnight, this friday to finally "plate" your idea.

Remember, the more descriptive you can make the plating, the better the score. mickeysgal has had good scores for plating because of her diagrams and her easy to follow explanations.

Plating is five points, so a stand-out five makes a very good final score.

Proposed Attraction: Disney/Pixar’s The Incredibles: Syndrome’s Revenge

Location: Disney Studios Park, Orlando FL

Description:

Disney/Pixar’s The Incredibles: Syndrome’s Revenge (known as Syndrome’s Revenge, throughout the description) will be located at the rear of the park, currently used by the Backlot Tour. The shop and costume departments will not be disturbed, but Catastrophe Canyon will be demolished for this new and exciting attraction. The loading area for the Backlot Tour will be closed and refurbished for a new attraction at a later date. The Backlot Tour preshow will remain with the costume and set shops as a small walking tour. Syndrome’s Revenge does not take up the entire area, so space will be left for more Incredibles or other Pixar themed attractions, shops and or shows can be placed here.



The exterior will be a facade will be of Metroville (the fictitious city of the Incredibles). Towering skyscrapers and buildings will blend nicely with the New York Street Area, ultimately rounding out the theme. The rest of the building is your standard box hiding the mechanics of the ride from view.



Story:
Once guest enter the building they find that they have entered Edna Mode’s new downtown studio. Guest chose from either the left or right line. Here guests enter the queue and begin their journey towards the ride. Throughout the queue, guest view multiple superhero suits, as well as video clips of the heroes and their suits in action. As guests approach the ride, itself, they pass the Incredible’s suits, but there are only four…one is missing…its Jack Jack’s!!!! The CM directs guest into rows of two, with appliqué’s on the floor of Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Violet, or Dash. Each guest in the row stands on the character. Once all the guests have been placed, the overhead monitors turn on. Edna Mode comes on the screen…..

“There has been a kidnapping, Darlings. Little Jack Jack has been taken, and we believe it may be Syndrome…., I know, I know, you all though that he disintegrated in the jet explosion, but there have been sightings all over the world of him.” Pictures scroll across the screen of “Buddy” in Paris, Egypt, Russia, Hawaii, and Walt Disney World (complete with too small Disney t-shirt, ears, and ice cream cone). “I have been working with the government to create a fabulous flying machine to transport you to Syndrome’s Lair. We believe that is where he is keeping and possibly using Jack Jack for world domination!!! Now get going…go, go, go….” There is a tap on Edna’s shoulder, she turns, then turns back with a disgusted look, “Oh yes, you have some more information”… The government lawyer comes on the screen and gives the loading, unloading, and safety instructions. While the lawyer is speaking, guests see Edna’s head bopping up and down behind him. She also interrupts him a few times. Just as the lawyer says “Good Luck”, Edna jumps on the table and screams “What are you waiting for …get going and save that precious little darling!!!” The doors open and the guests move into the launching hangar where the coaster awaits them.

The coaster is similar to Six Flags Magic Mountain’s, X, but using the seating of the Flying Coaster.

Guests enter into the loading area, and begin to load the vehicle. Guests walk up to the seat, press their bodies up against the pads, and hold onto the hand guards. CM’s then goes down the aisle and close the shoulder harnesses, which close onto the guest’s back, and the leg cage. Once all the guests are securely into the vehicle they are raised to a flying position. There is no upper track because the track is level with the guests, giving them the freedom of open space, heightening the flying feeling.


The ride vehicle launches straight, and then drops into complete darkness. Going 60 miles and hour, guests “fly” past buildings, homes, an ocean, and then flip as they prepare to enter Syndromes Lair. Guests then “fly” in and out of the volcano, and then around the top, where Syndrome stands with baby Jack Jack. Guests proceed back through Metroville, chasing after Syndrome, twisting and turning, flipping and dropping. Guests pass other heroes like Frozone, coming to the rescue of Jack Jack. The last sequence is a downward spiral around Syndrome and Jack Jack (who has begun to turn a glowing color) then the guest enter into the unloading area, where they see news casts of the Incredibles (with Jack Jack) about their save.

Guests can then enter the merchandise store, obviously filled with Incredibles merchandise and section to view and purchase your ride photo.

Misc: Guests must be 50” to ride and the ride lasts 1: 30 min.

Truly incredible!

Excellent work again, I.I. mickeysgal!

Hmm. Sounds like someone has been reading up on the new Intamin Rocket Coaster trains going into Spain next year. :-k

Have A Good One!

I almost forgot this. :oops:

Now, for my thing, I too went to MGM. But I went for the wider age approach, and did the whole family thing. 8O No kidding. Not a way to budget $70 million anymore, I know. But, without further ado:

Nomanaset. The new Mini-Land to Disney-MGM Studios.

www.disneypix.com/2000ft/Roll4/Roll04_018.htm

That building in the middle is the backstage area of the old Feature Animation Studio.

Right next to that, off Mickey Ave, but right near and kind of extending Animation Courtyard is the new soundstage.

Nomanaset is a new indoor mini-land.


Very unnassuming from the outside.

You've been contacted by a secret, but eliete branch of the government. "It doesn't exist", yet it is trying to recruit you as security. It is having an open house, and a place picks you up, and flies you to Nomanaset, home to Syndrome's secret base. It is being opened up for you to explore, no strings attached, but be weary, Syndrome doesn't like "no"s.

You walk in, and it is a cool starry night, always. You come into a hangar at Syndrome's base. Inside there are ships and vehicals to look at. But this is just a small transitional entry way. You walk out of the hangar and into the airstrip. Here is where you are "outside" on the tropical island. Off in the distance is the sea. Above you, leaving from just above the hangar you left are the Incredi-Pods. The peoplemover of tomorrow.

You head up the ramp (moving of course, Syndrome only has the best) and board a pod. The pod starts out over the hangar, then after a brief stint through the jungle, then a glimpse of the sea you head into the tubes of the base. You go past a scene of a rocket, ready to launch. Then more tubes. The quickly you see a Mission Control room. The more tubes. The quickly you burst out over the jungle, then back to the station. It is a quick trip, but it must be brisk, for Syndrome likes efficiency.


Yep, Jungle. Nature and all.

Back in the airstrip, there is another hangar across the field. Inside this one, you see a steady stream of little ships parked. Big planes, little hover patrol cars, many things. Here is the enterance to the simulator ride. In this ride, you hop aboard one of the small hover cars with Dash and Violet as they are off to find thier parents. Of course stealing a hover car doesn't go over well with the locals, and with all the near crashes the kids almost have, you also have to deal with being chased by and shot at by other hover cars with angry guards. You wonder why you came with Violet and Dash after all, and wonder if these are the people you will be guarding against. If so, they look like they'd win. Maybe you don't want this job afterall.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:The_incredibles_poster.jpg
Don't mess with these guys.

Exiting the ride, or just walking past the hangar and down the hall, brings you to Mission: Control. Much like Mission: Space's Mars Expedition, up to 40 people at once can sit and try to see which team gets to launch Syndrome's next rocket. It is a more eliete job than guarding doors afterall.


Learn to launch rockets.

Or perhaps you just want to explore. Across the hall starts the exploration corridor. It takes you through the base, you see Syndrom's lava waterfall, and then back to the hangar, taking you around the Nomanaset Mess Hall. After all, even bad guys need to eat, and how could Syndrome convince you to join his team without showing you the food? The roast chicken like Tusker House, the french fries for your kiddies. After all, a well fed henchmen is a happy henchmen.

So what do you think? Ready to don a helmet and join Syndrome's Team? Then get your gear at the Battle Room Gift Shop. Not quite ready? Well then before you leave or take another spin on the pods be sure to get yourself a new uniform at the Battle Shop.


That's right, gift shop.

Have A Good One!

Actually, I saw X on a Discovery Channel episode (Ultimate Thrill Rides, I think). It was on a couple of weeks ago. Then I wanted to make it like people are flying, so I searched (shhhhh....Six Flags website) until I found the Flying Coaster. I just merged them. There's a coaster like that?...cool...do you have a site? I'd like to see that, sounds like fun!!! But then again, I'd probably only ride once and never again...not a huge thrill ride fan!!!

Very nice tloolgb, I like that there's something for everyone....I gotta start doing that in my attractions...I do have kids and I should do stuff they could enjoy, too!!!

mickeysgal: What can I say? You did it again! I loved every bit of your idea from start to finish and I really wish you'd apply for an Imagineering job at Disney already! You captured the feel of the film precisely and made an exciting ride that I'd love to go on! I'm not even sure I have anything negative at all to say this time! 8O I think you may have outdone yourself this time. =D>

tloolgb: I like the idea that it's a ride that everyone in a family can do (as opposed to a coaster) but I have to admit, your idea kinda lost me. We're secret agents for the gov but we're just walking around Syndrome's base camp? And why are we helping Dash and Violet suddenly find their parents? I don't know if I'm missing something or not, but your concept left me confused. I liked your attention to detail, but the theme itself was difficult for me to follow.

Ok, off to fly in my votes to the Princess...

I'll do my judging tomorrow, I'm too busy crying over Rapunzel now. All thanks to Tina! :cry: I knew she was bad all along! :cry:



:cry: :cry: Waaaaa-haaa-haaa....eeeg! waaaaaa-haaahooohaaa....




( < Just in case)

Okay, well, here it goes. Although I wish I had actually bothered to see the movie, which I never did. Seriously, haven't seen anything new since The Polar Express! Okay, so hopefully, my judging won't be affected by that.

I could just copy and paste Peter's judging since I agree with just about everything he said, but anyways:

mickeysgal: Same as last time, truly excellent! The fact that I know hardly anything about The Incredibles didn't keep me from capturing what you were saying and I truly invisioned the ride, most of all, I liked it. Simple, but effective details, lots of enthusiasm were fun to read and like I said, gave me a great mind picture of the whole thing. Excellent!

tloolgb: Now, here's where I got a bit lost. I'm sorry, tloolgb, but the way in which you wrote yours (with so many details, I know!) kind of lost me, it was like having rows of numbers thrown out at me and having to remember them, I couldn't really capture what you were saying, although I'm sure that with a better mind picture it would have been great! Maybe it was because I haven't seen the movie, although hopefully not, that wouldn't be good.

Good job to both of you! 8)

Hehehe!

Our judges have jumped the gun on me. I never declared the battle over. It's a minor technicality, though... Lemme get it out of my system :

Battle Incredible is Over.

Thank you Iron Imagineers for your Incredible Imaginations!

First too late, now too early... darn it!
