Animal kingdom expansion! In need of ideas

[Miru]

A Bug’s Life should have been called a bug’s ride. And as for Dinoland… maybe move the birds there… and give the dinos feathers to match.

 

[FigmentPigments]

Since Animal Kingdom is based largely around continents, I think the easy additions would be South America (emphasis on the Rain forests), North America with bears, big horn sheep, and elk, and Australia with Kangaroos and kolas.

Australia could have a Great Barrier Reef portion (add a Finding Nemo tie if desired) that would segway into an Ocean section.

As part of the Ocean section, there could be a deep ocean section, where the giant squid lives, jellyfish, and ghost sharks.

From there another section could be the Artic/Antarctic with seals, penguins, and polar bears.

An ice age section next to Dinoland would be a great way to expand that area as well.

So in addition to the dinoland overhaul,
Animal kingdom would also undergo a massive expansion, a 30 acre one in fact that would add several new lands rides and also renovate the river rapids by replacing it, making way for a new one themed to European mythology, any ideas for the theme of that? My idea is one themed to the Black Forest in Germany somehow but how should I do that?

Can we finish EPCOT first? But anyway I vote for a Lion King land in AK

I think they have ignored half the animals on the planet and the expansion should be ocean themed. It could be Moana themed. A dark ride based on the wayfinders could be fun.

Most likely won’t be possible, but what about a land theme to mystical creatures from Greek mythology and medieval era even if it uses some IPs from Greek mythology like Hercules, and Percy Jackson.

They actually almost did something similar with Beastly Kingdom ride. Half was going to be European and the other half Mythical and Greek.

My suggestion is a underwater roller coaster with animatronics of the animals of Pandora (that are waterproof) in a tube that is incredibly sealed for the safety of guests.

My suggestions are I agree with bugs land area would be pretty cool especially if you use a coaster like this bug themed one at europas version of bug land area....its really really good and imagine if disney made it bigger

Also, I want to make Kali River Rapids a much much better ride using massive showbuildings with PotC sense of scale and affects. KRR is such a let down from what was originaly planned and I want to fix that.

but first you gotta go hard in dinoland....either with dino or a complete retheme. Id like to keep the dino theme because dinosaurs are awesome, but you gotta really redo almost the entire land.

Call the ride “Leaf Chasers: a bug’s quest for glory”. Maybe the story could introduce a new villain?

Yeah, they may want to move away from Hopper. Because of Kevin Spacey’s allegations, much like they did with Jeffrey Jones.

Perhaps the new villain would be a traitor ant? Or possibly a crab of some kind?

 

[Miru]

Yeah, it could coincide with a new film as well. It's got to be better then what Disney has been doing lately. I don't like many of the sequels and remakes they've been churning out.

Plus "A Bug's Life" is a great and unappreciated film.

More likely a D+ series, rather than a full film.

Animal Kingdom’s central area was a nice idea to homage the now defunct Discovery/Treasure Island.

But it does seem like it has too much of a generic zoo theming. It doesn’t set itself a part like Hollywood and Magic’s front areas do.

 

[PerGron]

I always thought that the front of Animal was pretty boring looking. Each of the other parks have a more memorable look.

The front of animal just looks like a jungle or that weird relative’s house who has too many plants.

I strongly disagree with both of you on that point. The Oasis sets the tone of adventure and connection to nature through winding paths of jungle, water, and sound. It is the perfect thesis statement for the park and I’ll absolutely die on that hill.

It's cool my man, everyone has an opinion.

I just would rather have a more themed entrance area. Main Street, but with some type of animal theming.

A Bugs Life (dark ride)

I forgot how much I used to love this film. My favorite scene is the Bug City part, it feels just like New York City. But with less bugs.

It really feels alive and is a stark contrast to the more country upbringing and lifestyle Flik usually lives.

I see your point, it does set a certain tone for the park. That makes it different than the others. But it isn’t very pleasing to the eye.

 

[The Lochness Monsta]

I like the jungle feel, they can’t have each park feel exactly the same. Things were so nicely themed in the early days. Each park had their own original ideas/ themes for them. Well before they went too Ip crazy.

Yeah, Flik is so gullible, like many of the country folk who get to the big city. They think “My crappy small town loves me so I’ll make it.”

Then before you know they are… on the corner of Sunset begging for a dollar. And doing unscrupulous things to get it. Sorry snowflake things are different outside your bubble.

 

[Rambozo]

Animal kingdom really could use another section. The upper and left quadrants need something.

Heck I’d welcome any expansions to their current lands as well.
