No i meant for DS as someone said that the PG would be themedNo concept art for any perceived theme park parking lot.

I guess im thinking people are walking underneath it and there are trees on the other sideYah, I knew you were referring to that but I just think that for many reasons it could have possibly been changed
Fantasyland would have a huge expansion area if I was in charge...MK "expansion" space is far more theoretical than DAK's explicit expansion space.
based on the picture above was what I was talking about

oh well that looks nice
I'll still take the parking lot as there is no way that TDO would approve the funds for a deck at a theme park and they would never do it properly anyway. End of story.
To the south....
@jt04 pull your head out of that hole.Disagree. It would be more than easy to get plenty of bidders for a contract if revenue sharing was a part of the deal. Would not cost TDO a penny. They had to work magic to get the DS garages built because they will not generate revenue directly.
Also, some claimed we would never see garages at DTD and they would be an eyesore if they ever did. Some were wrong on both points.
So the lesson here is that any theme park can have free garages if they want. They just have to be willing to share parking fees with an outside vendor.
BTW Universal Hollywood is building massive garages. Because they work and create space along with other benefits.
They would be perfect for DAK and would allow for more expansions like Pandora. To bring this back on track. Sort of.
Its really not that big a problem to get to the park though because they have the tramsSorry to continue this discussion but I couldn't agree more that a sea of parking is visually unappealing and inefficient at getting guests to and from the gates. Open asphalt as the main "welcome" to a theme park has a very strip-mall vibe to it. Most of the new urban designs in even more car-centric cities now do their best to avoid surface lots all together and the best designs go a step further by adding retail to the ground level of parking structures so that it blends in and becomes more inviting to pedestrians at street level.
This might be the ONLY way that they would approve funding for a parking deck at a theme park. Fill the bottom of the parking deck completely with gift shops...Nothing like getting their money before they even get IN the theme parks.Sorry to continue this discussion but I couldn't agree more that a sea of parking is visually unappealing and inefficient at getting guests to and from the gates.

But that's the point. They have to have trams and thus, it's not efficient.Its really not that big a problem to get to the park though because they have the trams
.... to the east, to the west and to the north. Someday.
