"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
They hand out Matilda's if you win the ring toss game.

I want an attraction that gives you the chance to experience some of Broadway's greatest effects. Like let someone swing you around by your pigtails, or show you how Elphaba melts in Wicked

Hasn't Broadway already become a theme park? Most of the Disney shows are higher budgeted spectacles that should be playing in Disney Land or World. Beautiful and other Biographical Musicals, which have as much dramatic intensity of a Love Boat episode, are shows directly from Opryland. Broadway itself is overrun with Bert and Ernies and Elmos.
Stage Door Line [B ticket]: Park attendees line up behind barricades and stare at a door. At some point once per three hour block, a celebrity exits. Five lucky people will get an autograph. NO PHOTOS.
A Gentleman's Guide Seek and Find (How many D'Ysquith's can you kill?)
The Oz Dust Ballroom Dance Floor
A General Broadway Haunted House (feat. Little Shop, The Visit, Sweeney Todd, Carrie, Zombie Prom, The Addams Family etc.) with rotating villains as the host.
Make Your own "Ring of Keys" in the Fun Home gift shop
As you walk into the park you walk down New York City (Like Disney World's Main Street) with gift shops located in buildings representing theaters, also in New York you will find different buildings with nods to different shows (such as Mark and Rodger's Apartment from Rent). Throughout the park there would be different locations (such as giant slabs in the middle of the street) where at certain times during the day a group of people would come out and perform numbers from different shows (songs in New York would be related to New York such as "Can't Be Bothered Now" from Crazy For You or "New York, New York" from On The Town)
Different Sections on the Park include- New York City, Western Outpost*, DisneyLand*,Magical Hot spot*, Horrorville*, Miscellaneous, Classics, and Historical Landmark*.
*Names can be changed I'm just providing examples.
Western Outpost* would be known for at random points during the day stunt fights take place as seen in Crazy For You and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and other shows, also a lot of restaurants throughout like Lank's Saloon from Crazy For You (I am referencing Crazy For You a lot because I am in the show right now).
DIsneyland.... You get the Idea,
Magical Hotspot* would be home to the shows with a sort of magical Twist to them such as Wicked and Cinderella (Cinderella would not be in Disneyland because it’s Rodgers and Hammerstein's version).
Horrorville would be home to Haunted houses based on shows such as Carrie and Little Shop Of Horrors. This would also be Home to the Phantom of the Opera Ride (A Ride that is Like the Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey Ride at Universal Studios in Orlando Florida, where the line takes you through the Paris Opera house and then the ride takes place on a suspended cart on a track that takes you through a motion ride of the Story at the Opera House including video and live props such as a big room representing the house where the chandelier almost hits you).
Miscellaneous would host shows that don’t fit any of the categories such as Pippin and shows that don’t really go in any of the sections. Also in Miscellaneous there would be an anything goes Log Chute and a Carousel Carousel.
Historical Landmark would be the host of shows such as Miss Saigon and Les Miserables. There would be a live Cabaret based on Cabaret and different shops around with a little Dreamland Saigon and Paris with the ABC Cafe and a Barricade Jungle-Gym for the Tikes. There would also be a Hall of Famous Figures from shows such as Hamilton and 1776.
located around the Park there would be different unique attractions such as the Hall of Forgotten Shows (Shows that didn’t last 50 days) and a Broadway Hall of Fame
Classics Would be Home to all the Classic Shows.
I know this is long but I thought about this for a while so I hope you like it.
