Any New Themeparks or New Lands to The Current Theme Parks

Wont happen, Disney's objective is not to buld a park around a specific type of attraction, but a specific story or theme. Building a park around coasters, similar to Six Flags or Cedar Fair leds to a uninspired atmosphere. As much as I love the coasters at Six Flags, I don't like the parks. Same with Cedar Fair, they may have great coasters, but their parks lack emersive storylines and are overall boring. Why would you want a park that people only visit for the coasters and not the park.

Also, by building a park only with thrill rides you reduce thrillseeker demographic at the other parks. Disney's formula is to have "something for everyone" (as speck puts it) at all of their parks instead of just devoting a park to one demographic.

To further expand on the point, if you build park that only consumes one demo not only do you reduce the likelyhood they will visit the other parks, but also the length of the guests stay. What disney also tries to do is get you to visit every park and stay longer. If you have one park that is all thrillrides, most thrillseeker will only visit that one park and only need one day to do it. By putting thrill rides in every park evenly with other types of rides, you force guest to visit every park spend admission on each park, more evenly distributed, and most important they must stay longer in order to visit every park. By meeting the those three key objectives, Disney makes mucho el dollaros

Unless he meant the Coaster they were going to build at the Boardwalk (a place with a Coney Island sort of feel) and not Iron Kingdom.
I still think a mini Paradise Pier would be nice there. Just the Sun Wheel & Screamin'.
Besides that you are right on the money with your post Lynx my friend!

There was a rumor not too long ago that Disney was interested in purchasing Coney Island.. Maybe that is what he meant... I don't think will build a Coney Island type of park... Coney Island isnt that great a place.. The only really good ride there is The Cyclone roller coaster... Maybe Disney should buy Coney Island and sruce it up.. New York City sure isn't.

That is without a doubt the most logical explanation of why Disney should not build a thrill only park I have ever heard. Props to you Lynx.

Nah. ;)

Makes my day so much more fun! LMAO

Journey to the Center of the Earth... where to begin.

Well, imagine a volcano in AK... That would work well in my opinion. But the ride? Needs more animals. Theme it differently and you may have something.

As far as the "AK has Everest now, they're not gonna build another mountain" debate goes, I'd like to direct your attention to the Magic Kingdom. Seems like Disney does like to build more than one mountain in a park. And a volcano would be downright fantastic. I'm not for a clone of Journey, but a Volcano would fit very well with AK's theming. Just gotta get the idea for what animals you'll have there, it it could work very well.

And for those of you wondering, there were plans to build a volcano in AK. The money went towards Everest. But you know WDI... they never throw anything away...

i have my own thoughts about the dragon on the ak logo. i know this doesnt really deal w/ this forum, but i am posting this here, cause the time i found the right one, i would forget what i was gonna post. ok, has nebody been on the radio disney boat cruise around animal kingdom. if u havent, it was a pointless cruise around the park, nothin special. but for those that have been on it, there was one part halfway i guess, where the was a dragon breathing fire. i dont rember whether or not u see the dragon, but there was a cave and fire was coming out of it, and on the ride you hear mickey and minnie talking about the dragon. so thats could be a possibility about the dragon on the logo and they just havent taken it off yet.

First of all I would like to see all of Mysterious Island come to DAK, not just JTTCOTE.
IMHO DAK is about animals. Not Countries. What Country would BK fit into?
England perhaps?
Journey is about mythical creatures. A Lava monster being the main attraction. Just like the Yeti is for EE.
If you were to add TDS's 20K to the mix and you add sea creatures as well. Real & mythical.
On top of it all. DAK is also about conservation. Let's face it Nemo was a huge environmentalist (if not a little extreme about it).
Bottom line is I really want Mysterious Island. And with all the great vegitation in the park think about how cool a giant smoking volcano would look spitting out flame in the middle of a jungle setting, surrounded by water.

The point is Captain nemo and his secret lair are works of pure fiction captured from a novel, not exactly mythical creatures that have been passed on from generation to generation, transcending cultures upon cultures like the Yeti, or Dragons, or Unicorns. It is basically fact that Lava monsters don't exist, Dragons and Yetis are still arguable and that what makes them such a perfect fit for AK since these are animals that have captured the imagination of entire cultures, shaping their way of life and traditions. Mysterious Ilsand as a whole was just taken from a book...

If I were to put a Volcano anywhere in WDW, it would be in Adventureland...
