Okay so I know that this idea has been tossed around before but I have been looking at what my DCA phase 2 would include and this would be it. Now whether something like this eve gets in I don't know. But this idea could work for either DCA or Frontierland. Here it is:
Queue:
Small little area themed to a California Mission. It would include bell tower similar to San Diego's and spanish influence all over the sub-land. The main building would house a restaurant similar to Blue Bayou and the Gran Fiesta Tour at Epcot. The restaurant would look like a fiesta in the moonlight while the boats pass by. The ride's queue would go through the mission house and would give a little back story to the legend of Zorro. There would be paintings of residence and all and then there would be a big painting of Zorro with the famous Z slashed through.
Boarding:
The ride vehicles would be just like the Pirates boats and the main reason I chose to use boats as the ride vehicles is because I think it is the best way to tell the story of Zorro. The story behind the waterways will be that the town has been flooded (It's the best solution I could find). You board your boat and head on into the flooded trail and you pass by the restaraunt in the darkness. It has lanterns hanging and around it's land are orange trees. (a nod to the original orange groves) then as you pass further away from the house you enter a cavern of red rock with a waterfall on the side.
The Ride:
Here is the first drop in the ride. When you get to the bottom you are surrounded by darkness and rock and then all of a sudden you see a landscape similar to the Journey to The Center Of The Earth ride in which you see the moon and the Frontier landscape but you also see a black horse drinking from the stream and you see the shadowy figure of ZORRO! you continue on in the darkness and find a tribe of Native Americans with the leader telling the tribe a story and telling them of the man with mask (Zorro) His dialogue will change. (I got this idea from the Indian Village at the far end of the Rivers of America). Then you pass by fossils and then go down another waterfall (drop 2). This takes you into a rainbow Caverns sort of an area in which stalagtytes and stalagmites are all around you and a colorful array of water, falls and geysers send you on your way while you hear the faint sound of a guitar and the first sign of the infamous Zorro TV theme song.
As your boat leaves the caverns you find yourself in the middle of a gunfight between a runaway train and the local bandits. The conductor is tied up and the leader of the gang is fighting Zorro! you feel the air of the bullets zip past you and also see the steam of the engine engulf the dueling pair. Then there is another small drop (drop 3) and you go over the rail road tracks of the runaway train. next you find yourself in the town.
Part 2 will be coming soon
(I know it's long but I would love some feedback!) Thanks!
