Ride Attractions
The Battle for Oz:
You as a guest of Oz are sent to the skies on what seems to a just a regular tour of OZ on a paraglider like seat devices after Dorothy's arrival before you get caught in a battle between Madam Morrible who is controlling the weather and Elphaba and her team of flying monkey scouts. (indoor coaster)
Ride vehicle:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Clock Dragon Proudly Presents: The True Story:
This ride retells story but in a unique way using live actors, music, and showmanship. Using a combination of ride systems including Universal's mystery theatre concept, danse macabre tilt table, the Zelda ride concept that allowed for water traversing and suspended traverse.
You enter an elaborate green theatre where you are told you are going to hear the true story of what really happened. You enter a theatre where ride vehicles are divided into sections that interlock well. After everyone is aboard, the ride starts with the live actors essentially reenacting the story of Oz and the Grimmerie before one person yells that's not true! Tell us the true story. That leads to the room slowly going black, the floor with the ride vehicles dropping, and the ride vehicles start to separate and spin almost simulating a tornado before the end up going on three different paths (Glinda's, Wizard/Dorothy's, Elphaba') to chose from (for rerideablity). Each ride path experiences Popular and Defying Gravity and For Good which are the three massively complex show scenes.
Glinda's Path:
Has the ability to glide over water and be suspended. Goes through the story with Galinda and Glinda's highlight moments. Dancing vehicles and tilting platforms are the highlight on this track. Key Scenes: Dear Old Shiz, What is this feeling, Dancing Through Life, Popular, Defying Gravity, Thank Goodness, For Good, No One Mourns the Wicked, Finale
Wizard's/Dorothy Path:
This path combines the original 1939 film with Wicked. There is a level of intensity here as ride vehicle as the movement here is a bit more chaotic, a bit more razz dazzle with some drops but 100% tracked not suspended. Key Scenes Here: Something Bad, Popular, One Short Day, Sentimental Man, Defying Gravity, Wizard of Oz Medley, Wonderful, Sentimental Man Reprise, Finale
Elphaba's Path:
This path tells Elphaba's story from Birth to the ending of Wicked. This path ends up mostly suspended after the first scene of her birth with drops and ascents. Key Scenes Here: No one mourns the Wicked, Wizard and I, Dancing through life the Ozdust ballroom, Popular, I'm not that Girl, Defying Gravity, As long as your mine, No Good Deed Goes unpunished, For Good, Finale
Ride ends up in the theatre similar to the first one but not exactly with an original song performed by an animatronic animal band as you depart the ride vehicles.
