So I know WDW already has two water parks and probably has no intentions to build a third any time soon, but if you had to come up with an idea for a third Disney water park, what would it be?

I always used to want a Lost themed water park but I guess it would be kind of like Typhoon Lagoon.
But I would like to see a water park integrate some traditional movie magic...maybe a park that had attractions based on the movies. Some could include
*Flotsam and Jotsam racing slides
*Finding Nemo Meet and Greet(Kind of like the shark tank in Typhoon Lagoon but with actual species from Finding Nemo)
*An Escape from Atlantis full-blown thrill ride..kinda like a log flume where you get wet around every corner with some scenes from Atlantis thrown in there.
* A Pirates of the Carribbean Black Pearl Play area
-Tortuga themed restaurant?
These are just some ideas..maybe a lazy river where various characters have various ways of getting you wet. A Herculeus animotronic could make it look like he's doing a cannonball behind a well placed barrier and an explosion of water soaks everyone..Stitch could be near the wave pool trying his hardest not to fall in!

I’m very very late to this but I think something western themed or maybe even like a waterpark built around a crashed ufo or something, a sci fi waterpark would be unique, though maybe too similar to typhoon lagoon. It would be situated on an island with a ufo crash landed in the center. There would be a lot of high tech equipment in there and it was converted into a slide complex atop a extraterrestrial looking rock spire, there would also be entertainment and such.

Well if you think about it it would be their 7th park counting the waterparks. You could mayeb call it Disney fantasy springs, maybe it could be half water park half marine life theme park, a competitor to seaworld, maybe with a larger aquarium or it’s mainly animatronics and live performer shows and less animals to be more environmentally friendly but if animals have a big habitat for them however I think a third waterpark is more likely than a 5th gate

If universal can claim their waterpark as a third gate, so can Disney!

It’s also about time Disney makes themed slides. It’s strange the only real park that did this is waterworld in Colorado. Plus they may need to retheme things in Epcot and magic kingdom so maybe it could be a Jules verne inspired waterpark. Discovery bayBrilliant, it could be the first water park to add screens and IP theming throughout.

And Luca! Don’t forget lava, 20,000 leagues, lilo and stitch, Atlantis, etc

Yeah maybe. The idea could be its seperate s into several lands, here are just some ideas not al of them would be in it but maybe
Portorosso from luca
fantasy springs (various classic Disney ips)
Hawaii (lilo and stitch, moana)
Atlantis (mostly unrelated to the movie unless they make a live action remake that does well which in this case lets say it does, if not it could be themed to the general myth.)
Rio themed area with zipline
Jungle book
Pirates of the Caribbean.
emperors new groove.
And a wild card:
A family oriented slide complex called
Phineas and ferbs splashtopia! A typical water complex with buckets and slides and such.
And I want to avoid the little mermaid and finding Nemo cause they mostly have a lot of representation in the parks.

Great idea!! Splash kingdom could also be to show how this is more of a proper Disney park as opposed to other Disney waterparks, cause I haven’t been to typhoon lagoon and it looks a lot nicer than blizzard beach but the waterparks so far don’t feel like Disney, maybe cause they’re lacking that Disney magic and ip

I feel like a lazy river would be much less grand or maybe no railroad idk I could imagine something called “dark slides” which are themed rides with immersive theming and animatronics though maybe with a protective thing to keep them away from the water. Think indoor slides enclosed in a show building, like space mountain or maybe even a emperors new groove trap door slide themed to the wrong lever thing and you ride a slide down the labOh, I just meant it entered my big brain also.

Please don’t add any unnecessary gory details like that, it made me extremely uncomfortable. Also, I meant something like the Tom Sawyer riverboat

@MickeyMouse10 The fact that you laugh at that really offends me and I’m extremely hurt that you would laugh at it. I expressed something you did that made me uncomfortable and you take it as a joke

As for the size of the park, how many acres? Obviously not as big as the main parks but I think slightly larger than the other waterparks. I’m thinking about 25-30 acres not counting backstage areas. And with backstage about 35-40

That's a very good question there, Maybe almost like 70 or 80 acres way bigger than Disney's Typhoon Lagoon for 56 acres & this water park its almost huge as The Magic Kingdom for almost 110 acres. While expansion areas for this water park could be idk almost 90 acres, just thinking.

I think 40 acres initially with 10 acres of backstage space would be good for initial land, with about 20 acres of expansion total, waterparks don’t need much space
