That idea reminds me of the Spirit Lodge at Knott's Bery Farm, which is also set in the Pacific Northwest. Maybe we could have a theater venue capable of switching out many different shows. For example, Chaparral Theater at Disneyland Paris has held an SFX show, a stunt show, and other very...

So is it safe to say we're sticking with Pacific Northwest? Wikkler is correct about Pocahontas not fitting. Maybe it could be an original dark ride, or Brother Bear, which better fits the theme. We should each tackle a different attraction. -River Rapids Ride -Log Flume (not Splash Mountain)...

I agree. I think it will make Frontier land more distinctive from the lands in other Disney parks.

I still think Australia is not a logical choice. Small population, low demand, etc. Singapore could be a better option in a nearby geographic region. Lots of people in Malaysia and Indonesia, but also from Thailand and India. Some say East Asia is over saturated with parks, but they forget that...

I think there needs to be a riverboat! The kinetic energy and other intangible factors are just too much to miss out on. There are two options for Frontier land. My plans are for a more woodsy, less Wild West style. With a Pacific Northwest style, a river rapids ride, a log flume, riverboats...

One place that might be suitable, despite its proximity to Paris, is Poland, perhaps in the south, near Krakow. It is a relatively moderate climate, with colder winters but warm summers. It is a very economically stable country. The Eastern European market is relatively untouched, as mostly...

I don't think Australia is a very good idea at all. There's only (correct me if I'm wrong) 20-25 million people there. It does have a decent tourism industry, but it is remote, inaccessible, and mostly based on natural landscapes. I also don't believe that there is a current demand. Australians...

However, I think that, even though it has been done before, a Sleeping Beauty castle might work. Maybe we'll decide that later. Anyway, I think that this layout might work (it's the same as Paris, but with Tokyo's side streets): We should move on to Frontierland. I think we have a pretty good...

I think we should do a princess castle. My opinion is that is should be a Snow White castle, with scenes of the Evil Queen underneath, such as making the poisoned apple.

I think that the scenes should be inspired by one of two things: scenes from princess movies, with the Maleficent and the Evil Queen under the castle, or the movie Fantasia, with Sorcerer's Apprentice and Night on Bald Mountain under the castle.

My idea is that the Swan Boats embark in the Central Plaza. They go past the entrance to Discoveryland, then under the bridge coming from Main Street, then past the entrance to Frontierland, past the entrance to Adventureland, then, as it comes toward the castle, enters the castle lagoon. From...

I think that there should be a meet-and-greet area. My thought is that the more modern side would have a Broadway theater, and there would be a "backstage" area for meet-and-greets. Also, I love that idea with the railway. One station in Main Street and the other end of the line in...

I think that the idea of an adventurer's shop/inventor's shop, etc. in Main Street is fantastic. For Frontierland, I favor the more serious, Paris-esque aesthetic. A fleshed-out backstory and connected attractions, the whole nine yards. (Note: I want to keep the quasi-tradition of the Haunted...

Great! I was afraid this was going nowhere, but I now think that we should work on the Castle Park, which we'll just call Disneyland Park. I do want to make it unique and interesting, but I think the general idea of the traditional lands should be kept. Main Street, U.S.A. For the theme, we...

The reason I placed the weird nose-shaped region is because I wanted the two parks to be in close walking distance. Also, on the subject of a third gate, I didn't mark it on the map, but there would be room for that as well. EDIT: I'm afraid this thread may be dying! If that is so, i'm not...

I like the suggestion of having the two parks placed to make a Mickey shape. Also, for practical reasons, two parks that are very close to each other, a la Paris or Anaheim, would be less of a headache then Tokyo or Orlando's layouts, which make it hard to walk between the parks. Also, I want a...

Okay, here is my plan for a Star Wars theme park (It is incomplete, and I will update later. For now, it only shows my plans for the first "land" of the park, Coruscant. Coruscant will mostly be shopping and dining, but also entertainment and a few rides): Coruscant The bustling center of the...

The two sides of armchair Imagineering are refurbishing our favorite real-world parks, and creating entirely new ones in our minds. I have been thinking about the distant future, probably not until 2025 at the very earliest, when Disney expands post-Shanghai. This thread will not be about the...

I do think that the Star Wars franchise is simply so massive that it could fill an entire park (while the real-world practicality of this is shaky at best, I like to imagine:)). My thoughts are for it to be a large park that has areas devoted to fleshing out the small glimpses of a larger galaxy...

Hey, this is Darth_Disney, formerly known as Yensid. This thread is an open-brainstorming thread for ideas on a exciting but difficult-to-execute idea: a theme park entirely devoted to one of the largest intellectual properties to exist: Star Wars. I have a few ideas regarding attractions and...
