I found this in the Attraction Ideas thread:
How about revamping Lost River to incorporate the raft scene from "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"? Lost River is right by the Landing, and if it was revamped and incorporated into the Landing it would restore some identity to the area. If they did that other attractions and shops could be added to help Tom Sawyer's Landing regain some of it's theme.
Just had a brainstorm. They could incorporate the Riverfront into the Landing and hold Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn plays/musicals in the Playhouse and maybe have some costumed characters (and bring back Mark Twain himself) wander the Landing and interact with guests...
Kind of prophetic, don't you think? sdcforever, what else do you see in your crystal ball? I would love to see the playhouse idea germinated, too. If they were really thinking about it, the Happy Frogs could be moved to area and renamed the Jumping Frog of Calavares (sp?) County. This ride has a small footprint and would fit with the theme while at the same time opening a small area of the Expo for a different kiddie ride.
Well, gazing into my crystal ball I see a new coaster, looks like a woodie, going into the area beyond TGS. But that won't be until 2010 at the earliest. I also see other things out there as well, perhaps an entire new area with a second train depot. Of course, my crystal ball could be completely off base. I asked it if this will definitely happen, and it said "Concentrate and ask again". So I did and it said "Most likely". We'll see what happens.
Back to the 2009 project, I like your idea of moving and renaming the Happy Frogs. It would definitely fit with the Twain theme. I also really hope they have some sort of Tom and Huck plays/musicals for the Landing. Overall, it'll be interesting how they theme the area, with a river ride right in the middle of the city.
