I feel one of the themes missing from the IOA islands lineup is space/ Sci-Fi. A few years back there were rumblings about Universal acquiring the rights to Star Trek. I‘m not a trecky, and obviously it’s not exactly a hot property right now, but it is known. Like, the general public know a brief summary of the story and types of aliens. Things like The Enterprise, Star Fleet, Vulcans, Klingons are generally cemented in the public’s subconscious. What if they built a Star Fleet Academy campus. It could take place during the very early years of human star exploration, and relations with species like the Vulcan. Heck, the Star Fleet are still in dry dock being constructed. As you tour the new Academy, you learn about the new alien species humans have come into contact with. You learn that a hostile race known as the Klingon are amassing an armada of ships in neutral territory. They are unaware that their location has been uncovered, and the guests/ new recruits are sent on a reconnaissance mission to find out what they are up to. Turns out, they plan on ordering a surprise Pearl Harbor attack on Star Fleet, destroying all of the vessels still under construction. That’s when they become aware of your presence. This ride could be like an indoor coaster with show scenes similar to Gringotts, The Mummy or what sounds like Guardians of the Galaxy. A dark ride coaster with more coaster segments than Gringotts, but scenes to keep the narrative going. Anyway, just a Sunday daydream. It’s just good IPs are starting to get a bit thin for the picking. Star Trek isn’t Star Wars, but look what Disney has done to that once hot franchise. Popular franchises can suffer from poor handling and execution, theme parks included (ROTR not withstanding). On the flip side, not so hot properties can become a home run if handled correctly. Ok..ramble over.
