Subject: Ramoji Movie Magic Tour dark ride

Everybody has seen the various art and ideas we’ve all been developing. I think with some additional options added we have a concept design. Please review the following items and add your comments. I would like to invite everybody to meet tomorrow, Friday September 13, at 12:30 to further discuss the following preliminary concept. After this meeting I will consolidate our notes and send these and art to Richard.

1. I've discussed with Gregory that ride vehicles would number eight to ten vehicles. Would these cars hold four or six people? Possible design concepts could be a taxi, a camera, or a tour bus (Ramoji Bus?). Jim and Gregory have estimated that there would be around six to eight scenes.

2. The concept seems to be one of two versions of “Ride the Movies;” either the guest is a participant in the movie making process (auditioning as an actor?) or they start by touring Hollywood and/or Bollywood Studios and then become a part of the movie production experience.

3. We're still looking for a main character for this ride. Once we design this character it could become the Park main character. I will have an additional list of possible characters and sketches from my team by tomorrow. Any other ideas?
