What would be some good ideas for a rock-based theme park ride?

I鈥檓 assuming everyone here has been to Disney World or Disneyland at some point. I give them credit for being able to expand their empire with adult activities. It doesn鈥檛 seem like they鈥檝e done quite as much with the rides. Let鈥檚 say you were hired by Mickey Inc. to come up with an idea for a ride similar to Pirates of the Caribbean except with a rock motif. What would it be? Here's mine.

Tunnel of Rock of Love 鈥?The ultimate hair-metal experience. As you enter, skanky wax figurines of groupies immediately swarm you. All with teased hair so watch out for the Aqua Net. I would also throw in the real life miscreants of the same show, including Bret. They all could use the work. The real cliffhanger would be at the end, where you鈥檇 have the showdown of dueling wuss bands White Lion and Winger.

Jessie K - Thank you so much for that backhanded compliment. Be sure to let me know when you actually come up with an idea, let alone a 鈥渄eveloped鈥?one.

I'd have the GG Allin Experience...You ride in on a train and you're holding an allotted 10 empty beer bottle bag. The Carolina Sh-it Kickers band throws feces at you...Your goal is to hit them with as few of the bottles as possible...aim with expert precision! You continue through the tunnel and a mock GG Allin masturbates and tells you he's going to rape your sister. If you were dead on earlier, you should have only 7 empty beer bottles...so hit him with perfect aim. The person with the most hits gets a second ride free.

EDIT: Thank you, cheers...

Thanks...I'll poke a hole in the suit though...if I'm gonna get feces on the skin, so are you!!!!!!! lol Report It

I said I liked the idea for the ride, but I was thinking more from afar. Plus, my haz-mat suit is puncture resistant! LOL. Report It

they can help

It's been done. Next?

Rocky Horror Picture Show would be lots of fun. Definitely interesting if anything.

Highway to hell roller coaster- catch my drift lol and lets just say all the tracks aren't there at the end of the ride
WHOOOJHOOO!!!

That's sounds interesting.
Make it like that you the person entering the ride is the famous rock start. Fan's waiting for you, the parties.
I don't know.
What about the ride itself?
Roller Coaster?
I personally liked the Aerosmith Rock and Roller coaster.
That was too cool, but way too short.

im thinkin like a psychadelic thing. sex drugs n rock n roll....divided into those three sections... could expand but now that im thinkin about it....ill have to copyright it first :) :P

I would modify the "Tower of Terror" so it would relate to one-hit wonders. It could play a nice little medley of hits on the way up. When you drop, you hear nothing but screams and bad press in the background. As an added joke, you could exit the ride at a lower platform then where you started!

Trent Reznor's Downward Spiral.

It starts off in feel good electro-pop land and gets darker and darker until it becomes a chaotic industrial hell.

Rocks.

i would make a ride called the (expierience ride).
you step into a giant sized car shaped like a mushroom. before it starts you get a "choice" of what to take before the ride. it will play jimmy hendrix music as you move slowly through a "trippy" expierience with flower power and a san francisco type street atmosphere. and at the end every one is given a blanket and "tie dye" shirts. they all dress inthe shirts, are given a flower and they all make love on the blanket.(kids under 18 not permitted)

Now will this be "Look What The Cat Dragged In" Bret or "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" Bret. LOL!

Ok - if we're in hair metal band mode, then I think the
"Rock You Like a Hurricane" Tilt-A-Whirl Ride would certainly be something to behold.

Gotta hand it to Given2Fly -- his suggestion was great

Just for you Rockets, The MCR carousel where emos and haters go around in circles never coming to a compromise. The ride continues endlessly and you have to either jump on or jump off to escape and to move on to the FOB ferris wheel.

That's not bad.

Maybe a "History of Rock" Hall?

Or "Figures of Rock" like the Disney "Hall of Presidents"
You could have Elvis, Jim Morrison, Mama Cass, Jimi Hendrix, etc, as animitronic puppets that talk about their songs/play them.

I think you could hire most of those groupies to actually work in the Tunnel you suggested (just tell them Bret will be coming thru any minute now) at that point they might work for free..

Welcome to the Haunted Jungle, similar to the Mansion, young runaways emerge from the nearby stream only to have homeless people jump out from behind trees at them only to yell "You know where you are? You're in the jungle baby, you're gonna die!"

It would seem rather inexpensive and I think half eaten pieces of fried chicken & Mad Dog 20/20 would compensate as payment for the homeless and runaways

my ride would be called "paranoid". First of all, before anyone gets on my ride, everyone would have to be on some drug of their choice to get the 'paranoid' feeling, then when you enter you are in a kinda alice in wonderland place like a carnival house. that's just the main entrance though. then you walk through a set of doors shaped like a giant bat with it's head chopped off(does anyone understand the theme here) and soon you are on the boat ride from hell where giant purple penguins, pink unicorns, and blue elephants have all gone from "cute and cuddly" to psycho and demented. your ride finally ends after the members of KISS all jump out and scare the sh*t out of you. you swear you won't ever get on that ride again, but five minutes later you can't help yourself....because you're still trippin and tryin to figure out what the hell just happened

I would have a Meatloaf inspired ride called "Bat outta Hell".
It would shoot you up a hill really fast indoors (in the dark) of course. Then it would go through a hell like area while twisting and turning. The car would obviously look like a Chevy Corvair with the dashboard all lit up. Then the song I wont do that would come on .... oh wait ... thats not gonna work huh? Well two outta three aint bad!


Not feelin the Meatloaf. you can always refer to Rappers Delight and Grab a bottle of Kaopectate.

I'd do a Beatles-themed ride, called the "Magical Mystery Tour." You would see images described in their songs...you'd already be "in a boat on a river", and you could see tangerine trees, cellophane flowers of yellow and green, rocking horse people eating marshmellow pies, newspaper taxis, and of course in the sky would be Lucy with diamonds. Hmm, I guess the whole thing would be like an acid trip without having to take anything.

Damn... I got nothing.

... and it's a great question.


I may be back.







NP: "When in Rome" - Adriangale

The Magic Bus Ride - You get on this psychedelic painted bus that is blasting rock music and everyone is smoking mother nature. The bus travels around the park stopping at each ride and you get off (pun intended) when you want to.

Alice Cooper's "Welcome to my Nightmare" ride. You could start it off with some psychedelic lightning, even get people danced up and dressing like Alice had in the video for it (way back when). You can get an animatronic Vincent Price in front of a spider display and have a huge black widow descend down from the rafters and have "Cold Ethyl" pop out of a refrigerator at the riders.

My other vote was for the King Diamond "Give me your soul please" extravaganza, but it gets messy at the end when people actually have to hand over their soul at the end of the ride.

Mine is The Dancing on The Ceiling Feeling. It's a anti-gravity room where you can just float in space while listening to Lionel Richie tunes. The best part is when you turn gravity back on and everyone crumbles in a painful heap on the floor.

i always liked the ole jimmy hendrix ballbreaker from the tommy chong flick "far out man" starring among others,,dokken.....especially how the little crabs come down his pantsleg and strap you in for a ride up to his crotch before you blast off,,,too funny.

I think I'd have the Lynard Skynard, Free Bird Ride. Where people get in these giant white bird or dove shaped planes and fly around really slow, floating almost, over forests, lakes, beautiful things, with the wind blowing through your hair. Then when the music picks up you would attach to a roller coaster ride and freaken go crazy! (haha) All the while listening to free bird of course.

PS and there would definitely be smoking allowed on this ride!!!! ;)

i read Given2Fly's and not only am i unable to top that, i am unable to even attempt to come up with a half-decent one.
ok
a Radiohead's pull of It's a Small World... instead of kids from all the nations, just hundreds of their bears*. with their "National Anthem" on repeat. so creepy
