Jr. Imagineering Update

We are still Imagineering! We had a week and 1/2 of vacation but we didn't forget our goal. School will start soon too, Mom thinks we will go to a homeschool charter this year since we can't afford our old school and this way she can help us better. We will practice the homeschool stuff and all to see if we kids will actually follow along in homeschool. we might be a hand full for mom we are called double trouble around town for a good reason!

We borrowed a bunch of Disney Classic dvds from the library including a Chip & Dale dvd. Some are so classic that Chip has two front teeth and Dale doesn't talk at all. We have to think of the Chip and Dale ride for Critter Country, we don't have a story or anything. We thought up one of Chip and Dale, where you will ride around a forrest and look in at their tree house while they hunt for nuts, annoy Donald, and hide from Pluto.

We haven't heard back from Imagineering yet, but we are hoping we do! We sent two letters now, the second Brother sent one to Audio-Animatronics to ask for advice on where to start for the Mine Car dark ride cars. Also, we asked for a new map to Disneyland so we can draw all over it.

Our dark ride has a audio animatronic dwarf driving the individual mine cars through the mine. They need to look real, talk, and look around. They will have special pexiglass around them so no one gets into the mine where people can't see them and touch them. They could bite. We should program them to bite if a bad person tries to mess with them or tag them or look under their coats to pull their wires.

For our Ode to Walt Disney Railroad, we found the original maps for Disneyland had Edison Square to the right of Main Street going between Main Street and Tomorrowland. If they have anything backstage there, we are going to pretend to put everything underground like a Utilidor, and build on top of it the Ode to Walt Disney. The ride portion of this railroad needs a live, upperlevel view of the real Disneyland Railroad Depot. It also needs space for the model railroads, gallery and shopping. We are adding a retail line of Disneyland model railroad trains and parts. After Brother and Mom went to the National Model Railroad Convention, he really, really wants to buy a model train of his own. He wants to make a model monorail and people mover thingy too. Actually, Mom suggested it, and inventing model rollercoastering. She said, "Why don't we just invent model rollercoastering, where you make a model of a rollercoaster the same way you build a model train?" We think that's the best new idea for our project since we thought up Club Penguin Headquarters. 

In a little bit, we will make an actual schedule and deadlines for our Imagineering projects, blogs and updates so everyone who likes to read this doesn't think we gave up.
