Zé Carioca/José Carioca attraction at Animal Kingdom in the new south america area/tropical americas

He could talk about the different bird species in Brazil. it is a reference to what he did in the original movie he appeared in Saludos Amigos. It could be a show he has showman vibes. He could first appear being drawn on like in the movie. He is a very entertaining character and it could be a good spin on edutainment. He would entretain but we also would know more about types of birds. It would be nice to have a realistic photo of the bird and a cartoony contrapart like the stylization that happens in saludos amigos the cartoony birds would interact with him. Maybe you could change the birds types once in a while? Or make it randomized. It would need good visuals and effects and a tinha script be very entertaining. I think it would be nice to have more of an old style cartoony antics in the park( not just "inspired" like the mickey and minnie redesign) specially on a park like animal kingdom that doesn't have it yet nor many attractions. Also would have a meet and greet near it. Of course. So he could give hugs. He could also point in the show to the guests visit the exibition of some of the real brazilian birds disney would make to complement it.

I was thinking about a shrek dark ride. We don't have a proper shrek ride. I think it could be great

This is that i though it could be: We would follow Shrek around his fairytale world and we would stumble into scenes from different fairy tales with the shrek humoristic twist like snow white, red riding hood, etc. The reason we would follow shrek i though it could be because someone that is a trickster like a pixie would stole something important like a present for fiona. Alternatively Donkey could be stolen by the creature and shrek is trying to save him. The ride would start on shrek swamp where in the first scene donkey/the thing would be stolen. Then the creature and shrek would run through the other scenes that depict different fairytales moments and maybe disrupting some too.

We would need animatronics of different complexities and 3d figures of the characters.

I was thinking about universal kid resort and what i would put on it to be a little fun for the adults too.

I was thinking about a shooter ride that you shoot the minions. A little mean spirited and fun for the guardians and older kids( specially if you have to live with minions for the day in the resort. Sorry minion fans but they can annoying) and fun for kids. I imagined it would be a classic shooter that you sit down (unlike the despicable me shooter on universal studios) with 3d minions figures( if needed some 2d figures can also be there to make more targets but they would be distant enough from visitors to not realize they are not 2d too) that when you shoot would have effects of falling backwards and it would have humorous moments( like the old minions shorts when a minion is laughing at another disgrace and it hits him too or unsuspecting minions about the game just living their lifes and some that know and are worried about being hit ). The premise of the ride is that gru's family invites you to play with them shooting the most minions that you can with the new blaster gun he invented. It would be great for minions fans and minions haters.

Wreck-It Ralph (2012)

[themeparkattractionideas]

Disney should sell more wreck it Ralph themed snacks so many good sources of inspirations in it

[themeparkattractionideas]

Properties i think would be good for the new universal park in Uk

Shrek, Mario, Harry Potter, How to train your dragon, Jurassic park, Dark universe, Wicked. I wish to give them enough space for them to stand on its own with enough entertainement value but it might be trick being the first park with no expansions. I could throw in trolls more focused on kids.

[themeparkattractionideas]

Hope hollywood studios will keep a space dedicated for animation and referencing traditional 2d animation(with drawings).

I really like the idea of using stylized concept art( in this case Mary blair's concept art for alice in wonderland from 1951) as inspiration for a playground i hope is as impressing visually and as fun to play in it as it sounds.

Having a show like attraction with the character coming to life on screen is a given and it's nice to pass down to fans how to draw their favorite characters but i wish we got something more for this area to make it as special as possible( and hollywood studios need more). Like at least 1 dark ride like mickey and minnie runaway.

I already talked about how a cartoon land is a dream of mine and how it could be huge with attractions for all ages and Disney could certaintly do that including her IP inspired by disney cartoons especially mickey and friends and bringing new attractions to the park in that area where it would fit perfectly

Where i saw this news:

Walt Disney World plans new land celebrating animation

Universal is trying to become an all rounder theme park brand not only associated with older kids and young adults who love thrills anymore but also expanding to meet other demographics like having kid friendly offerings and others that appeal to the whole family with all ages offerings after all they have a heavy competition with the very well estabilish Disney park brand. We see a lot of these new offerings with Epic Universe, their new theme park in Florida that is already in soft open.

Não sabia exatamente o que esperar quando soube que ia conhecer o Epic Universe, o novo parque da Universal, em Orlando, nos EUA, antes mesm

However one demographic still dont have a space designed for them. It's the feminine demography mostly constitute of young girls and women of all ages that disney caters so well to especially with their disney princesses brand and cute mascots. To some people they are even the main selling point of going to disney.

So for a family that decided to go to universal instead of Disney it would be interessing to have something to fill that void( more than just meeting princess peach in nintendo land). So I believe Universal needs more girly things and universal studios need more things in general i already talked about how wicked and glinda especially could help the appeal and would fit well in the park. but i also have another pitch with a intectual property they also already have deals with that along side princess peach presence and wicked with glinda i think it would seal the deal of having enough of an appeal to the ultra feminine demographic.

Take an early look at Epic Universe, Universal’s new multibillion-dollar theme park in Florida that offers five distinct lands to explore.

My pitch is a mini hello kitty land in universal studios florida made of a themed café, the meet and greet and at least an attraction. In Universal Citywalk Hollywood there is already a hello kitty and friends café with a store attached and they have a hello kitty corner's café in Universal studios Japan.

異なる表情を持つさまざまなエリアは、感動がいっぱいの別世界。ハリウッドの超大作映画をテーマにした興奮のライドや人気キャラクターたちのショーなど、子どもから大人まで楽しめる、ワールドクラスのエンターテイメントを集めたテーマパーク。

The toad café seems to be a sucess in epic universe so people are into cute character themed food. You could have some highly hello kitty themed off the shelf family ride too that kids could go in. Is it revolutionary no but i think is something different than the rest of universal and it speaks to a public that will want to experience and take cute photos with family or friends and is relatively low cost compared to other attractions.

This basically already exists in japan they have the café, a store and a flat ride( in this case a teacup in a cupcake theme):

While i do love how pink and colorful it and i think cupcakes are cute relatively way to make different from teacups. I wouldnt put a exact copy of this, like i said this is a photo op maybe the teacups are too fast, maybe something slower, also dont like the lack of hello kitty and friends characters in the ride itself i think they should be all over the ride.( and universal has to take care of its sightlines)

im going to post some photos for inspiration with their sources:

I know this last one is a dark ride but i like how the scenario is so kawaii and the melody themed vehicles

How to improve toy storyland:

I already talk about the fact i believe the land misses a important part of the toy story franchise by not having a emotional (and of course entertaining) dark ride but im here today to talk about another way potentially much cheaper to improve the land. I think it's being written off like the kids place like toontown and animation countyard as a whole have been and as i said all of those deserve better

I think is weird how you are shrunk to the size of a toy and you have meet and greets in the land but you also have the main characters as statues in the land like if there was a giant human kid looking at them and isnt woody suppose to be one of a kind toy? Different from having 2 buzzes who is show in the movies to have many buzz lightyear toys

Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida

They should have characters roaming around, having meet and greets and interacting with guests all the time like they did in galaxy edge and avengers campus, maybe some more outdoor entertainment with the characters( like they had on avengers campus on california adventure with the deadpool storytime but adapted to the characters of toy story like woody or buzz telling a story or having a mini show interacting with other characters)

Woddy jessie and buzz lightyear in meet and greet form. Image sourced from:

or if they are all silent characters in costume make speaking animatronics of the characters in the land like mr. Potatohead in the midway mania of california adventure would help the immersion.

You kinda have the "im a toy too" feel if you book the sit down restaurant in the land round up rodeo BBQ but i think it shouldnt be exclusive to that. There is already not a lot going on in toy storyland after all

Toy Story Land will open at Walt Disney World this summer on June 30, 2018 -- and the magic is just beginning. As a fan of Disney and Grammi

We could have a show in a closed venue too some entertainement in that land to people to relax in the air conditioning while watching a toy story show( i think there is a lot of potential for an very entertaining script)

What do you think would improve the land?

Maybe you have heard of the Cacau park(meaning cocoa park) a chocolate brand theme park that plans to open in Itu in the state of São Paulo, Brazil around 2027

Font: https://istoedinheiro.com.br/montanha-russa-de-1-km-e-sem-brinquedos-do-playcenter-como-sera-o-cacau-park-em-itu/

I'm sure hope it will be a sucess and up the standards of parks in brazil and south america who arent known to have the best safety standards

Idea for the park a thrilling dark brown rollercoaster themed to the dark chocolate line from the brand Bendito Cacau. Being a parallel between the intensity of the flavour of the dark chocolate with the intensity of the rollercoaster.

They could have mini lands in the park dedicated to a type of chocolate like dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate. And in this land there would be shops especialist in that type of chocolate.They could have a land that is all about chocolate with nuts too and also have especialty shops related to that selling the chocolate with nuts and nuts. Each of those lands would have at least 1 ride.

Glinda/Wicked attraction and meet and greet in Universal studios

After Epic Universe Universal theme parks has even more appeal to a lot of demographics except one. The fans of tradicional Disney princesses looking for something like that.

However with Wicked they have Glinda a stereotypical girly magic singing "princess" type character in a pink ballgown, with a crown and wand.

I believe after Epic Universe opens Universal should reform the Universal Studios park and a Glinda/Wicked attraction and meet and greet is a perfect addition in my option that will give something to that audience that right now only have disney to look for

Of course Elphaba also could be in the attraction and meet and greet and I think she should she will have her own public that may overlap with Glinda's or not

But in this post I highlight Glinda's role in a new attraction to compete with Disney and appeal to the fans of more tradicional disney princesses.

They could create a Wicked mini land in universal studios where the attraction, the meet and greets, a show and maybe street entertainement could be. Below there are photos from Universal Singapore wicked mini land that could serve as inspiration and proof of concept.

Photos and information from universal singapore took from https://www.littledayout.com/a-universal-christmas-universal-studios-singapore/

I think a tradicional Dark ride with a low height requirement that all ages can enjoy is a good choice. Maybe a boat ride and we have a boat similar to the ones that bring students to the university in wicked part 1

It could be a journey for Oz where we see Glinda, Elphaba and the Wizard maybe taking the same following the same itinerary of Dorothy in the classic movie but of course in the Wicked world counterpart and being capable of seeing the players(Glinda, wizard and elphaba) anxious reactions to our journey and the consequences of it and maybe having flashbacks. The ride would have a lot of animatronics( the main ones more detailed but also a lot of less animated ones to crowd the world when needed like crowd scenes and creatures) but this part of us seeing these three characters that are elsewhere i though about doing it with projections like if it was a 2 way mirror without them knowing they were spying and talking about us but we also can see them.

I hope if Universal decides to do that they took the same amount of care and detail as their best projects so they give it enough budget to really be something wow Wicked has potential to do something really cool, Universal Studios need quality new additions and like i said is something for a demographic they don't have that much to offer to

[themeparkattractionideas]

Extra idea incorporate a vertical loop somewhere like the one in the spinning library in wicked part 1 maybe as a smaller attraction maybe there is some fair/thrill ride that can do with thr appropriated amount of theming

[themeparkattractionideas]

The dreamworks land really dissapointed me. I mean a lot of fans of dreamworks are even adults so this land desserves to be more ambitious and Universal studios need better attractions. I only hope after Universal complete Epic Universe they will give attention to Universal Studios and upgrade that land

An area of my dreams: a highly cartoon themed area for all age groups not focus on only kids with even some thrill rides inspired by the 12 principals of animation like squash and strech and classic cartoons physics and logic.

Disney they could do it in Hollywood studios in the Animation countyard that doesn't currently celebrate animation as much as it should it should be a highlighted area in Hollywood studios since it was Disney animation that started it all. It would be inspired by classic Disney shorts and their stars mickey donald and goofy and iconic classic gags like how to with goofy and goofy scream

Universal could do the same concept using Woody woodpecker that with his area retheme to dreamworks is currently without representation in the parks and he is an animation icon. It could be a new attraction at universal studios.

If only warner bros had a theme it could be the looney tunes area

Whoever of these does it i would be happy

[themeparkattractionideas]

while i love the monster inc rollecoaster and i think is a great addition i wish the animation countyard was reformed to celebrate animation as a whole not just one movies despite loving monsters inc( they could put it somewhere else)

Iconic animation moments could be used as inspiration for all ages attractions in a cartoony

This whole company started with Walt Disney ANIMATION studios after all

[themeparkattractionideas]

Hope Disney will preserve muppet 3d even if not in hollywood studios i'm not even a much of a muppets fan to be honest but they own so many land and experiences. I'm sure they can find a good home for it if they try. Honestly Hollywood studios has not that many attractions if it was me i would add montropolis, keep muppets 3d but i also would had kept the great movie ride so...

On the other hand it gives me hope animation countyard will someday receive the upgrade it deserves. Animation as a medium funded this company to become big and this art form should get the representation in the park it deserves( im not saying it cant have a young kids appeal but animation is for everyone like Walt used to say so the representation in the hollywood studios should be more diverse i have a post about how i imagine a animation land with general appeal would be inspired by cartoons that actually were aimed at everyone not only young kids)

Donald's splash mountain

Is possible that Japan's splash montain will be rethemed in the future.

Well, that is a great opportunity for a Donald Duck retheme. Donald deserves an amazing ride and what is better than a water ride for the best duck at disney. He is very popular world wide and in Japan. He is cute but can be intense a nice parallel to the attraction vibe with it's 52.5 feet/16.0 meters drop.

The attraction can function as a short story about our favorite disney duck. I was thinking about Donald having a guide role like Goofy leading the train in Runaway rainway but he stays with us durant the whole thing. We are exploring this trail maybe it can be a new duckberg area scrooge started exploring recently with other characters and Donald thinks he knows what he is doing.

Donald like Tiana does will appear often and take us up the mountain Chip n Dale and ducktales characters could make appearances on the trail. Daisy, Uncle Scrooge Mcduck and the nephews can try warning Donald about the fall ahead but he ignores them it's his tour guide and he knows he is doing and we go up and up apparently well and then donald comically fall before us preparing us for the fall and i can see a Donald animatronic looking soaked raging at what happened and chip and dale laughing at them. At the end we can see Daisy, scrooge, the nephews and other duckberg characters trying to comfort Donald.

Tokyo splash montain is huge so besides making it a amzing scenery they could make a homage to Donald in part of it He would love that. Maybe the story of the ride is they were doing a party for Donald and discovered that path. When Donald is reaunited with all his friends in the end the story can come full circle like they remembwr at least he still have the birthday celebration so he still has a good memory of the montain after he embarassed himself falling on the ride.

Very interessing video

California adventure desperately needs another E-ticket i guess the new marvel ride is suppose to fill that gap
