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

Question

I’m 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’t seem like they’ve done quite as much with the rides. Let’s 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 – 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’d 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 “developed” one.

Given2Fly - You're hired!

N L – Care to elaborate any?

SJG - I'm still laughing over yours. That was truly inspired, great work!

MachPen - My vision was closer to mid-80’s Bret, although we might have to take him “as-is.” I see the old avatar has reemerged. :)

James M – I’ve never done real well with the rides that spin around real fast, let alone ones with an emo theme. You’re not making me get on that thing, are you? :)

Mike - I'll keep it open for a while, so I'm counting on you.

Answer 1

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...

Answer 2

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!!!! ;)

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

Well I don't think that it will never happen. Even universal studios Orlando in Florida is near by. But they might build a theme park one day. But in Oklahoma they have plenty of room to build a theme park so it might be possible in the future.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

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

Answer 9

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.

Answer 10

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.
