Since this discussion has been clogging up the Frozen construction thread in the news and rumors section, i'm going to create a new thread here. Martin thought it was a good idea to keep this out of that topic and maybe Steve can move some of those posts over here instead.
Basically what I want to determine is which pieces of undeveloped land in and around Magic Kingdom are possible to use for expansion purposes. Discussions have occurred regarding just how much land MK actually has beyond what has already been used, the discussion arose regarding whether a Frozen miniland could fit in Fantasyland somewhere. It would be difficult to do so within the current developed land without removing something. So the question is whether land outside of the current Fantasyland footprint could be expanded on. I'll also open this to include the rest of Magic Kingdom as well.
I am aware that some pieces of land are or have been officially designated expansion plots, such as the land directly below Space Mountain (mentioned by Martin). And even the Tomorrowland cast parking area has been discussed in the past. But i'm also curious about other pieces of land, particularly beyond the train track berm that could hold some potential. I made a map overlay marking potential areas of interest in red a while back that shows some of the land i'm interesting in knowing about-
I know these plots may not have been actually discussed or officially designated by the company, but I just want to determine what is possible or impossible. Granted these areas would present challenges that I can see even from above. Waterways that need diverting, land in close proximity to fireworks launch and service roads and other things. Many of these areas are commonly occupied in fan-generated content such as @RandySavage ideal buildout plans, though it would be interesting to know how actually possible using the land would be in the real world (beyond armchair imagineering and wishful thinking). Overall, if enough money and effort were to be thrown into these areas, could these plots of land possibly be used for future expansion?
Feel free to chime in anyone.
