Idea for a ride in the UK in EPCOT

Jimbobpetemoss · 02-12-2003

Personally, I don't think there's enough attractions in the World Showcase. Here's an idea for the UK. Anyone can steal this idea and take credit for it as long as it gets built.

It would be a Dark Ride, wild with many turns like Mr Toad but with a 101 Dalmations theme. It would be billed as a tour of London.

The vehicles would be double decker buses, seating 4-6 people. but you'd sit in the upper portion. The vehicles would taper so the bottom would be smaller than the the top. There should also be a way that it would lean when you made fast turns.

The ride would start in the street with the nanny yelling in the street that the puppies were stolen. Next would be a few different landmarks, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Tower of London, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly, Westminster Abbey. Even Hyde Park with Pongo and Pertdita barking.

They could throw in a few dalmations scattered about. Even a few near collisions with Horace and Jasper and ultimately a head-on with Cruella.

I'll leave it to the Imagineers to hammer out the details I just wanted to plant the seed. I'll think of more and post them later.

Wow Jimbobpetemoss , that's a great Idea for a ride!! I do agree with you that they do need a few more rides!! You have a wonderful imagination, and I could really picture the "new ride" as you described it!!! Pass that one on to Mr. Eisner!!! (Did I even spell his name right? I say it enough!! hehe)
;)

Keep posting the great ideas!!:D
