This made me snort out loud at work. So I got a chuckle out of it, and my coworkers got a chuckle out of me. Well played sir. 8)

A Big Thunder-based movie would be a cool idea. The western genre probably has the most meat on it of the available rides left to work with (with the possible exception of the Jungle Cruise, which may already be in the works). Mission:Space has potential too, particularly if they can avoid making it cheesy garbage (see also: Mission to Mars). Scoring Gary Sinise to be in it wouldn't hurt either.

"Big Thunder Mountain"
That would be awesome. A western movie with ghosts. A sweet twist would be Clint Eastwood playing a ghost cowboy. :D

Expedition Everest or Big Thuder Mountain could be great movies if they're done right.

Carousel of Progress, there ya go. Make it a musical and have Justin Timberlake remix the theme. The kids would eat it up.

"The Gods Have Been Angered by All the Celebrating" - the story of Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. This movie stars audio-animatronic tiki birds Jose, Pierre, Fritz, and Michael, with a cameo by Shrunken Ned, the Jungle's only self-service witch doctor. Featuring a luau, Haiwaiian War Chant, Hawaiian Gods and Goddesses, and the lovely ladies of the ensemble.
Meep meep meep.

I agree with that.
I think that all the legends we can find about BTM coupled with HM can be some greats ideas...

I think a Jungle Cruise movie could be really fun. It would include some action and could also be a comedy. Of course, we'd have to have a scene mentioning the back side of water. But truly it could be a fun action flick.

I think that the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror attraction would make an interesting film.

Unfortunately when they did it they did it poorly.

I didn't think this was all bad. It's a fun made for TV movie. Give it a try, but don't expect it to be like the Twilight Zone.
Drop another coin in slot and I will tell you more.

Kilimanjaro Safari.

Beef up the plot line (you know, so that it has one) and you have an anti poaching eco message, baddy V goodie, gun toting, adventure film on the way.
Add a little romance some cute, man eating, trampling, biting animals; Sprinkle with a great sound track and Hey Presto. B movie. 8)

I wonder how they could make a good jungle cruise movie and not have it come off like The African Queen (I'm not sure how many people know the Jungle Cruise was based slightly off the movie). Maybe they should just re-release African Queen and say "The movie that inspired the Jungle Cruise!" :mrgreen:
