I know this probably has been talked to death and we all know there is not enough room for a third park (unless Disney does what Disney does and finds a way that will make me slap my face and be like why did he not think of that). Let’s quickly talk about the Eastern Gateway, a idea that they dropped which would have been this huge complex for parking and other things. Out of what I could find, it would have been super big. I think it could have allowed Disney to free up some space and that means more room. There are lots of parking lots surrounding the DLR which could be replaced for more land because of this gateway. I believe that they could do two things. This gate was supposed to be huge and not including the multiple levels which would have freed up more space, they could have used this space to get rid of the parking lots North and South if the Disneyland hotel for more expansion space to DCA and DL [unlikely] because it would probably be stupid to do. The other is to replace the giant parking lot south of where this parking area would be and it is around the same size as DL with a bit more room. I think they could have used this space for a 3rd gate which is more likely. This is lots of speculation but I see this as a possibility but I think they would do this as Disney seems to be prioritizing the projects to upgrade the parks that are not doing well. WDW has been getting lots of stuff to fix AK, DHS and Epcot and instead of making a new park, they are fixing the already existing ones. So probably they would fix the numbers at DCA first (probably with Marvel land and a possible replacement for Hollywood land]. The ideas I think they can go for a new park is the following:
-Westcot:
The original 2nd gate idea. Could feature a fixed version of Epcot but I don’t see this happening as there might not be enough space for a Epcot unless they do something majorly different.
-Disney Studios:
Michael Eisner thought it and it could work. A full on movies park featuring some IP’s that would not have worked as a movies park is a junk drawer (like Universal studios Hollywood) and would work anyways as all of the popular IP’s would fit, a bit late as SWGE would have fit
-World Tour:
Maybe a Epcot world showcase style park where guests get to roam around the countries without a huge lake, maybe a small one for spacing issues. It could feature Coco in Mexico, Black Panther in Wakanda. But this probably won’t happen as the theming might have issues.
-Disney’s Worlds of Adcenture
A Universal IoA style world where they are highly themed lands which can also be a combination with some original ideas involved
Any thoughts,
Yes I know this could go into the Imagineering but I would talk a lot more and focus more on detail instead of a preview. I try and combine ideas also please don’t kill me in the comments.
