Time Travel Voyage

PROJECT NAME: Voyage Thru Time
LOCATION: Pizza Oom Mow Mow at Disney's California Adventure. Wide area where street and grass area is on Southwest corner of this block. Ride buliding can also act as visual bearer as parades go in and out of nearby parade gate.
INSPIRATION: SeaWorld's "Journey to Atlantis", "JimHillMedia's article on the never-built concept for Discovery Bay (http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hill/archive/2006/08/17/5118.aspx)

Universal Studios Hollywood's Jurassic Park-River Adventure:
(Mostly admiring the opening and multi-levels. I am currently more interested in altered ending for a compact splashdown breaking system.)


SeaWorld Orlando's Journey to Atlantis:


SeaWorld San Diego's Journey to Atlantis:


SeaWorld San Antonio Journey to Atlantis:


Efteling's De Vliegende Hollander (The Flying Dutchman):
(In the splashdown, the tracks hide in the water)


Europa Park's Poseidon:


Busch Gardens Williamsburg's Escape From Pompeii:
(For the cool fire effects)


Pilgrims Plunge:
(Vertical lift looked interesting)

Considering how much real estate a flume roller coaster takes up, a lift device such as this and experienced from SeaWorld San Diego's Atlantis would be most beneficial and an extra thrill to guests.

[I need to flesh out my ideas for this as well]

CONCEPT: The beginning of the flume starts out like a tribute to "The Tunnel of Love". But the local scientist wanted to use the boats as time vessels for his experiments. The coaster portions are themed as "time-circuit warps". The brake zones will be themed as "time tunnels" so as to explain why the vessels slow down. These will be themed like the tunnel entrance to "Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin"'s Power Plant scene. Various scenes will include The Ice Age, Dawn of the Dinosaurs, and Prehistoric Cavemen. The Ice Age will feature Mammoths, Saber Tooth Tiger, Wooly Rhino, etc. Dawn of the Dinosaurs features Dino audio-animatronics from Disney's Animal Kingdom's DINOSAUR attraction. Prehistoric Cavemen has people writing on caves, creating fire, inventing the wheel, etc. The scientist finally gets the guests back, except he landed them on top of a hill ready to splash down into Paradise Bay. Original intent was to go down where S.S. Rustworthy was and inbetween Orange Stinger and Golden Zephyr. Passageway to be under the parade route/ walkway so as not to disrupt and place any aerial obstacles over parade route to future parade entertainment productions.

Ride building designed to look like San Francisco's (Second) Cliff House restaurant of (1896): http://www.cliffhouse.com/

  1. Time travel enables revisiting the reader to view the past with a modern perspective. It enables going to the far future and witnessing events that transpire long after we and our society are gone.

  2. Traveling long distances with ME/CFS or FM - most of us avoid it at all costs! It's just too much for our bodies to handle!
