    a- a themepark or...
    b- a waterpark
  2. The park must:
    * include a park icon
    * must include a daytime show and a nighttime show
  3. Must be appropriate for all ages
  4. Visual aids (ex. maps, attraction posters, etc.) are greatly appreciated!

All entries are due by March 12! Good luck! :animwink:

Oh and Animal Kingdom opened up 1998 :/ However, I think that WDW doesn't need a fifth theme park or third water park, soon it just needs to add on to and improve the ones that exist.

I agree and disagree. I think a majority of the current WDW parks need some loving.
Yet if there was a 5th gate would WDW need those new buses they are getting? If you think about it Disney needs those buses for a reason. The hotels and parks are getting more and more busier. Wouldn't a 5th gate spread out the crowds a little more?

Yes, they would.

Greater bus capacity means less waiting, less waiting means happier guests.

Well yes. I uh... guess. IDK. What I guess I am trying to say is that if there was a 5th gate people would be spread out more not needing the buses. You know it's like a trickle down effect.

They would still need the same amount of buses though. the issue isn't about how people are spread throughout the resort but how many people are physically there. unless this new park sat on a different mode of transportation (i.e. monorail, or boat) then buses would still need to pick up all of the guests. People wouldn't just vanish in thin air once they entered a fifth park.

Disney's Lands of Imagination.

The park would be based on literature, stories, comics, and graphic novels.

The entrance wold be based on the london of sherlock holmes and Sweeney Todd. The weenie would be a recreation of the jefferson building of the library of congress.

The lands would be based on marvel comics, lotr, and tall tales.

LOOOOVE the idea! Just, I was looking for more of a detailed response (describing the lands, star attractions, etc.) and it does need the entertainment listed in the rules. Again, wonderful idea! :)

Disney's Lands of Imagination. The park would have lands based on different works of literature, graphic novels, comic books, and stories.

The opening/entrance land would be themed to look like a London street from the era of Sherlock Holmes and Sweeney Todd.

London street, from episode of TNG

The weenie would be a replica of the Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress. There could be a gift shop selling the literature, graphic novels, and comic books featured in the park. Also, there could be a National Treasure Ride inside the building.

Jefferson Building

Of course there would be a marvel land. Guests will walk through streets themed to New York City, going from the look of the side streets of the upper east side to the skyscrapers of midtown. As guests continue to walk through this marvel land, they will be surrounded by a forest and then will come upon the x mansion.

Another land will be modeled after the works by J. R. R. Tolkien. Guests would experience the birthday celebration for Bilbo Baggins while in the shire. As they advance along middle earth, guests will travel through the Old Forest (with some kind of attraction with the trees), and then end up in Bree where they can visit the Prancing Pony. After than, the path leads inside Moria and then Mordor.

Another land could be based on American Tall Tales.

Great! Just still needs that entertainment, though. I don't mean to be a nag, or anything.

Entertainment? Well there would be M&G in every land. The london street could have a sherlock holmes and watson walking around. During the holiday time, you could have dickens characters. Marvel characters would be wandering in the comic land. LOTR can have those dressed as hobbits working in the shire, with elfs and orcs battling. Finally in the tall tales area, our country's legends will walk among us and talk about their lives.
