Re-Imagine ..... Main Street USA DL or is that Blasphemy?

I like that idea. I do not think a ride belongs on main street, but a big audio-animatronic show would be very cool. So one that centered around an industrial fair would be cool.

If they re-use the theater facade, then the folks could come in and sit in a theatre type setting similar to American Adventure, and have show start as a simple movie, and then have the Animitronics "come out" of the movie and take over. That might reduce the footprint... And keep in in with the them of the theater.

I like Fan's suggestion of an industrial revolution show.... Maybe instead of seveal AA's, why not just one or two "hosts". You could do them in a steampunk fashion (similar to time period machinery) and have them host a movie. One could be the "serious" host while the other is more humorous (ala MST3K)...

As for most of Main Street, I like the other suggestions of going back to individual stores.... which each store being a specific type of merchandise, with the store themed to that merchandise.

I like the suggestion of the cinema showing shorts, the ones that play at WDW's Main Street (Exposition Hall)...

that "Steampunk" comment is quite illustrative. I can picture in my mind that as the characters move steam shoots out of their joints and little hissing sounds.

and the characters could then use that as part of the show. One of them moves a lot and while surrounded by steam the other one asks" Where did you go..." Or they talk while moving and the other asks "What do you mean hsssssssssssst?" Or they talk about going in back to wipe off the moisture before they rust.

Could be quite humorous.

could we call one of the hosts Tom Morrow .00001?

another idea... Have the other host a blatant knock off and robotic copy of the Father from Carousel of Progress talking about the Great big beautiful today...

I like the residential idea too...adding a restaurant and other residential things. I like that you included the church which once upon a time was oft the center of town. That could serve many a purpose...I think adding in some time of exhibit--possibly rotating or focusing on Marceline or some other aspect of history that was instrumental n Walt's creation of Main Street U.S.A.

I like the AA show idea too-with them hosting and taking part in a presentation.

Great ideas guys!

: )

Maybe the dad from COP could be the "real" inventor, and his sidekick is the steam-powered robot. The robot says all the humorous stuff, and the inventor can say something like, "Sorry about that, folks, I think my invention needs a little tweaking."

In addition to showing real inventions, I'd love to see some things that never came to fruition. The more outlandish, the better! This is a cool idea, WDWFan!!

I was totally waiting for this to show up in the concourse lounge and voilla! It's been here all along! Shocked

In my opinion, MAin Street Doesn't need a new ride/show. GMWML or the 50th anniversary show is fine. But what it is lacking is a restauraunt. The only good sit down restauraunt in DL is the Blue Bayou, which is very expensive. I say create a restauraunt that is a scale above counter service, but still a little less grand than the Blue Bayou. They can use that middle area at the Carnation cafe, which is right in the middle of all of the Main Street Themeing. And if they needed to, they could expand into the emporium, where nobody really would miss. Wink

I agree that as Main Street is set up now it would not work. Read my first post and you will see how I plan on solving that problem.
