Ambiance

Well today is my birthday. So I though I'd post my favorite music from Epcot.


I really love the Innoventions background music. It feels so futuristic and every time I hear it it instantly takes me right back to Epcot. It's perfect.

RPCM

So I know it's past Halloween, but I've been thinking about Innoventions a lot lately and how it could be improved. My new idea for this area of Epcot is what I call a Rapid Pumpkin Carving Machine.


This new area would only be around for the fall of course. Have you ever heard of a rapid prototyping machine? It is a cheap and quick way to make parts out of plastic. I was thinking about this in class the other day and what would happen if you applied this idea to small pumpkins.

For a small fee, guests could go to the exhibit and purchase small pumpkins. Interactive kiosks would guide the guest through the process of designing their pumpkin. The guest could choose from a variety of pre-made templates or create their own. Finally, they would be able to watch the machine quickly carve out their custom made pumpkin.

What do you guys think? Good idea? Would you do this?

Conquer the Skies

What little kid hasn't dreamed of flying? Everyone wants to be able to be free to roam the skies. While Soarin' does a good job of recreating this experience, it isn't exactly what little kids daydream about. That's why I think WDW could use a jet airplane simulator called Conquer the Skies.



I never really liked the idea of Innoventions, but I believe this attraction would fit there perfectly. People could learn about the latest is aerospace engineering while finding out how to pilot an airplane. After a short pre-show going over the basics of aerospace engineering,  small group of guests would be shown how to work the simulator.

The simulator would be the cockpit section of a jet. It could fit two people in each cockpit, but there could be several lined up in order to increase capacity. Controls could include joysticks, buttons, switches, and pedals. This would essentially be a combination of Soarin' and Misson:Space.

What do you guys think? Too boring? Already been done? Or can't wait to ride it?
