My question is... what the outcome would have been if Dorthy followed the red brick road instead of the yellow brick road?

She would have skipped all the BS and ended up back home on the farm. Maybe the red road was the one Michael Jackson took in the Wiz.

If she would've taken the red road, she probably would've ended up in the land of the Quadling County which is in the southern part of Oz. Glinda the witch of the SOUTH lives in the Quandlings in the original Oz series by L. Frank Baum. Each land in Oz has a color - Munchkinland in the east is blue, the Gilikins in the north are purple, the Quadlings to the south are red, and the Winkie County to the West is yellow. But actually the directions are reversed on a map of oz - north and south are the same, but west is east and east is west.
So - if Dorothy took the red road in the MOVIE she would've ended up in the south and found the real Glinda that lives there and is a more powerful sorceress than the Glinda of the North in the movie. Then that Glinda would've given her the gnome king's magic belt to go back and forth between Kansas and Oz. I'm not making this up! This stuff comes from the Oz book series. There are 14 original ones by L. Frank Baum and over 40 in the oz series!

Yes there were two brick roads, and I wondered about that too. Maybe the answer would have been in one of the other OZ books.

Maybe it's like the Robert Frost poem "The Road Less Taken." Perhaps the red road was the one no one usually took and in the end was more rewarding.

My guess would be let your imagination determine the answer. I know she was told to follow the yellow brick road.

read the book by L. Frank Baum. She would've ended up in another land. Oz was the only land there.

i think there are three, yellow, red and green. they all come together in a spiral. i think dorothy just would have made it to a land of a different color, like orange if she followed the red and purple if she followed the green. there are surely witches, lions, scarecrows, tin-men and "wizards" along any path, i would think.

I don't think the red road had any signifigance one way or the other

Why don't you send that idea in to the people who make the movies? It'll probably be better than anything ELSE they're going to try and put on film.

Sinister things. She would have ended up under the rainbow and that is not good
