I have posted my ideas before for a Hollywoodland expansion but here's a more detailed version.
Here's pretty much the queue for the Magic Castle Dark Ride (Unnamed, suggestions?). Here are some pictures of Magic Castle incase you don't know what it looks like.

At the entrance you see a fountain with two AA birds in it. You partially wait outside in the queue. While you're outside some trees ocationally twitch or try to tap you. Incase you didin't realize they're animatronics. You then enter the building where you see an intable with a big mirror over it. On the intable is a pad of paper and an inkwell with a peacock feather in it. Walk down some more where you pass by a big hallway with two lamps on each side of it with an orangish glow. You then pass by three big book shelfs covered in dusty old books about how to "make yourself disappear" and things like that.Next you enter an elevator where you see four stain glass windows, which are really screens, and a fireplace with a big picture of the head magician of Magic Castle. You then descend down where you hear the backstory of the ride coming from two statues on the mantel of the fireplace. Also on the mantel are an hour glass, two small boats, some statues of birds, and a skull with a candle on it. The elevator is the same size as the stretching room in the haunted mansion. At the end of the elevator sequence lightning flashes from behind the painting and the magician's eyes glow bright red. At the same time all the stain glass photos would have a picture of the cursed statue on them and it's eyes glowing red as well and everything else is dark. You then walk a little more where you see two staircases. At the top of the staircases you see to statues of beautiful women holding candles.
You then board your vehicles wich look like the ones from Mystic Manor, but these are on a track. You then see the monkey from Mystic Manor rubbing the statue, instead of opening a box. You then enter the game room where you see an eight ball table, a pokerr table, and a game of chess, all being played by themselfs. The rest of the ride is the same as Mystic Manor but with a statue instead of a box.
Here's the backstory to the ride:
A formerly famous magician at the turn of the century, down on his luck after having his best illusions stolen, revamped and used by his archrival....in desperation to regain his noteriety and fame travels to an unknown island in the Carribean to find a sacred statue. It is rumored to bring the possessor knowledge and power over the physical world we live in....enabling the ability to make things disappear and reapper, or the wearer himself to do the same. The magician decides he needs this satue so he can claim the title of greatest magician and illusionist of all time.
The magician finds the satue with the help of a local tracker, who the magician promises to take with him to America, once they have the idol in their possession. They find the satue in the hands of a feared voodoo witch doctor, and through an elaborate scheme, they steal it and escape into the night. The witch doctor, enraged by this casts a spell and curses whomever possesses the stolen satue and anything connected with it. By direct contact or through any means the satue is used to give the bearer wealth, power, health, or any other benefit, a curse will be cast that person and all connections to him.
Unaware of the curse, the magician uses the satue's power to create amazing and unheard of new illusions, causing him to enseat his rival as the greatest illusionist in all the world and thus aiding in his acquiring his vast wealth. With this newfound power, he builds the Manor and begins to travel around the world, collecting artifacts in order to possess the power any of them may contain. Some items are no more than mere figureheads and decorative while a rare few actually have a bit of power which he harnesses to supplement his skills in magic and illusion.
Eventually, the magician is inquired to invest in a hotel which is to be built down the hill from his mansion. He eventually decides to do so, but on the condition of anonymity which is granted. The hotel is very successful until that fateful night when tragedy struck....and the Hollywood Tower Hotel, becomes the Hollywood Tower of Terror...no one dared stay within it's walls again.
Since the magician's fame, wealth, the manor and the Hotel were obtained by possession of this satue, they all become cursed by it....the Magician mysteriously disappeared and his manor fell into disrepair. Years later his great nephew takes over the house and in order to afford the upkeep, he turns it into a museum. Over the years, strange occurances have been reported at the manor but it remains open to daring guests who bravely or foolishly continue to visit the grounds to see for themselves what exists within the walls of the house on the hill and run the risk of falling prey to the curse of the satue themselves...
I will post more of Hollywoodland expansion idea later.
