Apologies for the wait. This is my first time hosting, so I was trying to figure out what to say, so if these reviews are kinda lousy, that’s the reason why.
I really like how this parallels to Disneyland’s OG Toontown, & I could see it happening IRL! The House Of Mouse is a great replacement for MuppetVision (I’m just assuming that), & Goofy’s Trolley & the Toontown Subway would be great additions to the park in both capacity & things for kids to do! This just fits Hollywood Studios perfectly like a glove, & I can definitely see it becoming a huge hit! Great job!
Technically, this still wouldn’t count, as although Grand Avenue wasn’t entirely themed to the Muppets, I would say it was still heavily focused on them. Heck! It was always planned to be themed to the Muppets, which would have happened if Jim Henson sadly didn’t die before he could sign any contracts with Disney. However, since I’m nice & generous, I’ll let it slide.
Overall, the Muppets have honestly deserved better at Disney, & this just feels like a love letter to them! The interactive dark ride replacing PizzeRizzo sounds very intriguing, the Swedish Chef restaurant would a very popular place to eat (Bork Bork!), & the carousel is a great addition to the park, which (again) desperately needs more for kids to do! I would love to see the total zany-ness of this area if where to ever happen IRL, & yet I can totally see Disney doing something or exactly like this, but probably after I.G.E.R. is out of office.
This is a great way of keeping dinosaurs “present” at WDW, now that Dinoland USA is fully heading towards extinction in February! The Boneyard (presumably being reincarnated) fits here like a glove, PteroFlight gives me major Flying Dinosaur vibes from Universal Japan & Muppets Dino Rally sounds so goofy, that I would love to experience it. My only concern is how this affects Liberty Square/Frontierland, but it’s still a great idea nonetheless!
I’ve never played a single Kingdom Hearts game, so I don’t have much knowledge of the series, & I don’t feel like looking up the lore because I’m lazy lol. Sorry, but from your description & image, I’m sure this would be a dream come true for the fans & would be a pretty cool area to check out! I also could imagine the Keyblades being Disney’s version of the Harry Potter wands.
I’m a little conflicted by this. Turning the Oregon Trail into it’s own land is a bold move, but in my opinion, I just wish there was more. My main issue is the Oregon Trail Expedition attraction being a simulator. That was really disappointing for me, & I don’t think a simulator would fit the Frontierland/Liberty Square area, & as I said before, I could easily see it being a dark ride, which would immediately make it feel more immersive. Rafting The Blue River sounds intriguing, & I definitely can see the Fort Bridger treat gift shop happening IRL. I do appreciate the risks you took here, so I’ll give you that & your very interesting idea.
Like Kingdom Hearts, I don’t know much about Gravity Falls, as I’ve only seen a few episodes. Although I’m not the most familiar with the series, I’m definitely aware of how strong the show is & it would be a great addition to the parks (If it were to ever happen with any Disney TV show). While I don’t have much to say, the whole area just feels so immersive & the rides are just incredibly well done. Maybe I’ll watch the entire show one day.
Finally, a land based around a popular Disney IP with no park representation that I know about (Although I’m not a fan)! I like the details of how you transition to the other lands, so that’s a win. Going in, I knew that playgrounds would be an obvious inclusion here, & the stunt show is a nice bonus, but again, the main attraction being a simulator was another letdown. Just going down the simulator route is fine, but Percy Jackson has so much potential for a major physical ride. It doesn’t distract from this being another great idea, however, so great job!
Just in time for the Christmas in a few days! Although I’m not sure if Christmas can work as a year long land, & Rudolph (& some Rankin-Bass IPs) are owned by Universal, it’s still a very cute idea. The Rudolph & toy factory rides alongside the Santa animatronic show sound incredibly charming, but the Heatmiser & Snowmiser dueling coaster is just all out incredibly ridiculous, that it would be a blast to ride. Overall, just an all out idea that’s creative & charming! Merry (Early) Christmas!
