Now that Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is getting its own series, it's time to start thinking about other TV opportunities for Disneyland rides.
ABC is looking to make Big Thunder, a period series based on Disney's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The show will follow a 19th century doctor and his family as they relocate from New York to the mysterious Big Thunder mining town. No word yet on the possibility of goats with sticks of dynamite in their mouths.
With so many Disneyland attractions to choose from, can more ride adaptations be far behind? Here are some ideas.
"Space Mountain"
Space Mountain is a fast-paced adventure series in space! Unfortunately, once things are about to get exciting, everything goes dark. You have to imagine all the thrills, but believe me, they're there. The exceedingly low production costs should keep this running for years.

"Jungle Cruise"
A down-on-his-luck actor is forced to take a job as a tour guide for Disneyland's Jungle Cruise. He soon learns that when the park closes, Disney magic makes all the animals come to life! Unfortunately, they're mostly carnivores. It's a fight for his life in this very dark series.

"The Haunted Mansion"
It's American Horror Story with a Disney twist! (More musical numbers, fewer brutal murders.) A family moves in to a notorious old house and soon discovers the stories are true: it's haunted by the ghost of Eddie Murphy's poor decision when he made The Haunted Mansion.
