I have an idea for antartica. what about an underground civilization?

You could always explore the Hollow Earth Mythos with this.. Having the Tunnel in Antartica (which is where some of the mythos state where the entrance is).

That's an idea. Lets us use some Hollow Earth mythos.

If we're worried as a group about too many lands, one or two of these could be reserved for expansion pads. For fun, we'll still develop it in advance if there's interest.

Hong Kong doesn't have a 'Disney Springs' type shopping area - what if that become the Boardwalk along with a hotel? (Sorry @Voxel knows my Boardwalk hotel enthusiasm is at its peak right now haha)

I thought that was the plan? Springs as a boardwalk along the water?

For naming if you want mythos.. For Arab lost lands your looking at the Iram of the Pillars legends.


I also believe there is a lost Civilization of Ethiopia. I'm trying to find infromation on that.

Uncharted 3? I can dig it

For Mt. Olympus, someone earlier (sorry forget who) proposed folding it into the Atlantis land - seeing as they're both Greek. So if we're still keen on stuff like incorporating the Hercules cartoon or the Muppets Greek stage show (the latter is something I'm a big fan of), we can still do those.

Wakanda works as a slightly more sci-fi land which still keeps the park's theme. (@spacemt354 tries quoting Ulysses Klau of all people to discredit Wakanda, which is silly talk.) Plus, Wakanda satisfies our desire for an African lost world while doing something different.

Wakanda to me is a contemporary option that inevitably will have to be parallel to the films in its design, less wiggle room to expand to anything other than Black Panther as well.

Yes - it sounded like you wanted to put it in the park when you said we'd have to cut it? We shouldn't have to cut it, a port would fit well alongside a pier.

earlier I suggested an ancient mars area, if any of you didn't see it. It would involve time travel

My concern with having too many lands would be working ourselves thin from the start, whereas if you only had a few lands not only would you be able to have more folks working on each, but I think they'd become more fleshed out.

What would be the premise of the Ancient Mars land? That's more a known fact than mythology

Someone had suggested the port along the water as the entrance. Which would block the boardwalk being in that spot. So I thought we'd have to cut the boardwalk springs if we had the port entry land along the water. But I may have misunderstood something

This I could get behind, but it doesn't even need to be set in Antarctica --could be anywhere.

I don't understand why we'd have to cut it - wouldn't it be like Crescent Lake where you can have several areas along the same body of water?

Iram of the Pillar is an actual mythos found in the Quran..

This I could get behind, but it doesn't even need to be set in Antarctica --could be anywhere.

We can study the new Mario land in Osaka which will be one of the first multi-level experience. I know Red and I explored the idea once.

Scientists Have just perfected the time machine and are sending test subjects (the guests) to ancient mars. I dont have many ideas but one idea would be a boat ride and a audio animatronic encounter similar to the triceratops encounter.

I think we're better off with your hollow earth concept.

That could be really fun

 

[CookieMouse]

ok. can we still set it in antartica?

 

[spacemt354]

I mean sure? What would be the reason for it being there?

 

[CookieMouse]

It would be home to an underground civilization that is still alive (unknown to guests) and would not be very welcoming.

If I may butt in here, I have my own ideas and concept for Antarctica. I believe it would be good to have a variety of different environments, and the hollow earth dinosaur world I had in mind can literally be labelled as a "lost world" - which is the very name of this imaginary theme park. I've spent the past eight hours trying to come up with ideas and a backstory for the Antarctica land (insert name here). There isn't a Seaworld in China so I don't see why a park on the other side of the world would have any impact or relevance to Hong Kong's second gate. I feel the idea of taking guests out of the hot Hong Kong environment and into the beautiful yet mysterious icy realm of Antarctica would be a great idea. A landscape without any actual human cities. One left entirely to nature.

Anyway, my story idea is to tie it into S.E.A. with there being a research outpost owned by an eccentric, adventurous billionaire (owner of Seven Peak Expeditions) who is also a mountain climber and believes in the theory of Hollow Earth. He discovers traces of an underground subglacial lake in the area near a mountain he has scaled (Matterhorn sized and likely with a similar bobsled coaster), and builds a giant drilling machine to reach this underground area, drilling through many caves in search for it. Taking a little inspiration from DisneySea's Journey ride, guests take a wrong turn and end up finding the lake, complete with a thriving, secluded ecosystem of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures (all of whom would be actual Antarctic dinosaurs).

Another attraction I have is the peculiar, haunting sight of half of a large 19th expedition ship sticking out of the mountainside, housing a walkthrough/simulator where guests explores the large shipwreck and uncover the supernatural story of how it got frozen in the ice - taking inspiration from Lovecraft - but also poses the idea that what the guests are seeing and experiencing may just be hallucinations due to the cold, and it is left up to the imagination what actually happened.

And, if we also want to include animals within the park then an Antarctic environment would be the perfect place to house a penguin preserve.
