Chicken Little-Based Ride Coming To Disneyland Resort

[Ride Warrior]

Now that Chicken Little has made in excess of a hundred million dollars in theaters and is a blockbuster, it goes without saying that Disney will continue to make much more thru video store dales (movies and video games0, and the sales of a wide variety of CL merchandise at Disney Stores and elsewhere. Disney is certain to imagineer at least one CL-based attraction.

Please, take my survey of the attraction you would most like to see at the Disneyland Resort (Disneyland proper or DCA). If you wish, you can select other, and/or post your idea(s).

Don't EVEN scare me like that.....The show was cute, and made oodles of money, but it WASN'T that good!!!!!

I don't think it's "certain" at all. The Emperor's New Groove made roughly $90 million domestically and I have yet to ride Kuzco's Krazy Rocketship or whatever.

Please, no.

Ahh! But, as great as the Emporer's New Groove was, Chicken Little is Disney's first full-fledged CG kiddie flik. So far, Disney hasn't missed a beat in creating attractions that are based on each of the Disney-Pixar CG kiddie movies. Besides, Disneyland Paris is already getting a Cars themed ride, and rumors already abound stateside.

Plus, it seems to me that Disney would be admitting that their product is inferior to that of Pixar should they not create a CL attraction. Prior to Chicken Little's cinematic release, how many of you recall the overwhelming number of MiceChatters that predicted the film would perorm mediocre at best, if not flop? This certainly was not the case.

Thing is, the target audience (children) loved it. This is because it's a familiar story with a new twist. Odds are, many of these same kids and their parents (and plenty of other people) will want to come to DLR especially to experience a CK-based attraction. Oft times is the case that what children are crazy about is considered far below par for many adults.

Chicken Little would work better at DMGM. I doubt they would put him in DLR because the populairty for the character isn't there, even if the movie as a whole worked well. I don't believe that the merch sales are in line with the ticket sales on this one, but I could be wrong.

Stitch doesn't have a ride at DLR (and if they did it like they did at Magic Kingdom, thank heavens he doesn't.) I'd imagine he's much more likely to get an attraction before Chicken Little does. He is also probably a much more popular personality than CL is. What he lacks in ticket sales VS the giant chicken he more than makes up with in merch and visibility (regular timeslot on ABC, Disney Channel and it's spinoffs.)

I think they should do away with that theater altogether, and put something else in it's place that will actually last. Leave the 3-d experience for the Movie theaters. How about an actual ride, I voted for the Omnimover style ride, or Skyway type ride.

[Hilsbro]

How could you build a skyway type ride in HISTA....I would rather see that area be used for the people mover...Like it could make it an attraction...and this could be the area with the speed tunnel...or like one person said...Use Imax screens and surround the people...or the whole thing can be the new loading area...

Maybe you could be able to ride his big ole balloon head like a hot air balloon over at DCA.

Perfect!

[Hilsbro]

Make a freefall @ the end...lol...Oh the Irony there would be

[Alchimedes]

They should dig further down to make the surround theater you are suggesting, if it is to be or even work. That theater is still to small for an Imax. But yes I understand about the Skyway not fitting.

I can just see it now just like the old ride, Loogies falling from the sky! Aaaackkk! And also it just doesn't work

[Disney Wrassler]

Just hopefully the balloon ride would still be held to the ground or else we may go flying well over the Interstate 5 and who knows where-else!

[Disney Wrassler]

Can you imagine what it would be like if you are driving home one day and all of a sudden you see a big ol' Chicken Little Balloon head floating over you?

[cellarhound]

I can think of anything I hate more than the concept of a Chicken Little ride...
