Mystic River Cruise

The Mystic River Cruise is a boat ride similar to the Jungle Cruise, only with the them of mythical creatures. In which guests will encounter a variety of creatures from folklore and legend. 

Guests will wind their way through a boathouse that is filled with books, supplies, maps, and sketches of the creatures that guests will encounter on their journey.  

Once guests board their boat, they're guide will introduce themselves as a member of the Mythological Creatures Preservation Society. A society dedicated to preserving creatures of myth and legend to find a save haven from the modern day world.  

Beginning their journey, guests will first encounter a unicorn grazing at the edge of the water. Dipping it's horn in the waters will cause the water to turn from dark and muddy brown into crystal clear blue.  

In a forested area, guests can spot the elusive Sasquatch hiding from within the foliage of the tree. 

A group of mermaids can be seen sitting on the rock. 

The head of a lake monster emerges in the water depths, but retreats back to the depths.

The guide and guests will then find themselves in a dark part of the river. The boat quietly pass a group of trolls that are cooking their own supper on a enormous cauldron.

The boat then enters a cave filled with jewels, gold, and unlimited treasures. But it also has the remains of skeletons in Medieval armor. A dragons sleeps soundly, but is awaken by the interlopers. The beast lashes out and roars in front of the guests. The guide manages to find an exit out of the cave before being roasted alive by dragon. After that harrowing escape, guests will disembark from their boat and end their journey,

Njoror


Nojor is a flue ride experience where guests take a voyage to the words of gods and monsters of Norse Mythology. 

Guests will start their journey by winding their way through a quint Scandinavian village. Standing dominant in the village is Yggdrasil, the great tree that connects all the nine realm.  Guests will then make their way through a mead hall, all adorned with weapons, torches, and hanging banners.      

They will then board their boats that shaped like viking ships with dragon heads.

The boat travels to an up hill ramp, where they travel to Alfheim, the realm of the elves.  A forest inhabited by sprites, gnomes, nymphs, and elves. 

Rhine maidens sing to the guests as the takes a sharp turn and into the Jotunheimr, a mountainous region homeof giants and trolls.
The trolls attempt to attack the guests as the boat dodges arrows and spears that are thrown by their attackers. The boat then takes a dive into another realm. Nidavellir, the underground realm of the dwarves.

The dwarves are hard at work in the forges. The heat of this realm starts to give way to a much more colder climate as the boat moves on into the realm of the frost giants.

The realm is depicted in snow and ice. A frost giant blows a blast of cold air as it passes by the boat.

The boat ascends to Niflheim, the realm of the dead, where they are ambushed by the souls of the dead.

At the the summit, guests will then finally confront with the monstrous serpent Nidavellir. This will then lead to the climatic splashdown.  


Guests may have survived from the jaws of Nidavellir, but their journey is not over yet. The boat will then ascend to the roots of Yggdrasil.
Inside the root starts to give way to becoming a rainbow of Birfost. At the summit is Valhalla, kingdom of the gods. The boat then takes a finale 100 feet plunge. Afterwords, guests will then disembark from their boats.

Journey to Atlantis

I've heard the Journey to Atlantis has made some refurbishments, but I was kind of disappointed they removed the effects and storyline. So here are some of my ideas to improve the story for the attraction. 

Guests will wind their way through the base camp, where they are members of an expedition of discovery of the legendary lost city of Atlantis. They will then board on Mediterranean style boats. 

Guests travel through an underwater grotto, where they are greeted by a mermaid as she beckons guests to the city of Atlantis. 

Inside the city square, fountain statues come to life as water leaps from one place to another.

Unfortunately guests have stumbled in the temple of Poseidon, god of the sea and patron of the Atlantis, and he is not happy. "You would dare desecrate my domain, for this you shall suffer the same fate as the people of Atlantis."  

The boat will take guests into an up hill life through a vortex of blue light. Then go through  a second up hill climb and finally into the climactic splash down.
Put the ride isn't over yet, as guests are taken back to Atlantis for one finale time.

Guests dodge falling pillars as they witness the downfall of Atlantis. Just when all hope is lost, a light guides us through a min roller coaster and return to the surface world, safe and sound.
