Big Thunder to Become TV Show

Big Thunder Mountain TV show gets ABC pilot order

Quote:

ABC executives are queuing up for the network’s Big Thunder Mountain project. ABC just gave a pilot order to Big Thunder, which is inspired by the 1979 Disneyland theme park mine ride.

"When a brilliant, late 19th century New York doctor and his family are given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to relocate to a frontier mining town run by a powerful, but mysterious tycoon, they quickly realize that not everything in Big Thunder is as it seems," goes the show's logline. Jason Fuchs (Ice Age: Continental Drift) has the task of writing the pilot. Chris Morgan (The Troop) will executive produce.

In addition to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise keeping giving its theme park rides new big-screen life, Disney has a film starring George Clooney with the title Tomorrowland in the works. Tomorrowland is being developed by director Brad Bird (Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol) and writers Damon Lindelof (Lost) and Entertainment Weekly's own Jeff "Doc" Jensen.

This is scary since they are currently conducting a major refurb of the attraction: what horrible cheesy effects might they install on the attraction to tie into the show?

:eek:

As far as I know (and I'm pretty close to the source), the refurb has no ties to the pending TV pilot at all.

Will there be a gruesome death in the pilot episode?

So, I guess at some point, Disneyland will feature a George Clooney character walking around looking at the ground while it waves.

Or a magic goat?

Red PJ's?

Guantanamo prisoners?
