I based it on an area in Virginia, where Pocahontas once lived in my version of Magic Kingdom.
Would work better in Liberty Square due to the setting.

Liberty Square Expansion (I don’t have a name for it):

This expansion is located behind the Haunted Mansion (The facade/queue, not interfering with the show building). Guests go through a red brick carriage tunnel by an old mansion and enter a Colonial village. The main attraction in the village is Escape From The Headless Horseman, a maze themed to a dark forest that guests must run through to escape The Headless Horseman, who appears at the beginning and several other times! Guests can exit this village through a wooden covered bridge

If guests continue walking outside of the village, they enter a forest which is home to an Onondaga village of the mid 1700s. This is the Iroquois Experience, a 2 hour and 30 minute long experience that must be booked in advance. Guests to the experience get a tour of the village from a young Native male who explains how Iroquois society worked (Clan mothers and chiefs, elders, literally everyone else), Iroquois history, the other tribes of the Iroquois, and the significance of Wampum belts, a cultural icon. Then, a young Native woman teaches guests about Iroquois music (along with the word for music), which uses drums, rattles, and flutes. Then, a Native boy teaches guests the Seed Game, a memory game of sorts. Guests join a Hunter in a snowy forest (indoors) to search for animals (learning the word for Animal). A young native girl teaches guests about bead work, even allowing them to try their hand at beadwork. The next encounter is a British Trader who showcases friendly Colonist/Native relations. The elder of the village shows guests headdresses of the Iroquois Confederacy (authentic Native Iroquois designs). A clan mother leads guests through a Mythological Sojourn with encounters with a snipe (not Kevin), an Eel, a Bear, a Wolf, a Turtle, a Hawk, a Deer, and Heron (8 Clans of the Onondaga), The Underwater Panther (Evil spirit that lives underwater taking the form of a Panther with horns), Ga Oh (wind god), his moose (Eastern wind and rains), his panther (west wind and hurricanes), and The Great Peacemaker (Founder of the Iroquois Confederacy), all of whom explain myths of the Iroquois and their values. The mythology attraction starts with the creation of Turtle Island, which is the Earth as a giant snapping turtle. A chief teaches guests the myths of the skies from his longhouse, a hole on the roof for smoke to escape showing the stars (indoors) Finally, guests have an authentic meal of corn, beans, squash, pumpkin, potatoes, turkey, venison, cornbread, and cranberries with the natives. The young man from the beginning bids guests a final farewell in Iroquois and guests exit through a cave.

A dirt trail leads deeper into the woods, leading to Cascade Peak, a waterfall on a large mountain. Guests can go behind the waterfall and into Rainbow Caverns, a cave with brightly colored stone formations illuminated by black lights. The dirt path continues over a wooden bridge and deeper into the woodland, leading to Big Thunder Mountain.

So, I feel like WDW’s Adventureland is lacking a thrilling attraction, as DL and DLRP both have thrilling attractions in theirs, which is why I decided to create this. It's a Moana ride in which guests experience a Kakamora attack. Guests queue through a Polynesian-style longhouse by a mountain with a waterfall across from the Tiki Room and load boats decorated with the signature spiral shape associated with Moana. Guests start by passing through calm waters where fishers in canoes catch fish. Suddenly, rocks start showing up as guests approach the Kakamora barge. Suddenly, several Kakamora start throwing rocks at guests, simulated by puffs of air. Suddenly, the boat ascends onto the Kakamora barge where Moana and Maui are fighting them off. Kakamora start throwing shells and starfish, once again simulated by puffs of air. In the background, several Kakamora are performing what appears to be some sort of war dance. Moana uses her oar to knock Kakamora into the sea as Maui uses his hook to destroy the ropes and the whole ship gives way, causing guests to fall and splash down an outdoor waterfall, going down a mountain by the longhouse. The boat goes for a while before reaching the unloading dock! It should be noted that this attraction might cause a slight rerouting of the Jungle Cruise to accommodate the show building.

My Ideal Jungle Cruise (written in 2022, will elaborate soon):
I’m writing an extended Jungle Cruise that’s as big as The Rivers Of America. It travels the same rivers in this order: Amazon, Mekong, Congo, Nile. It also has new scenes featuring a Masai and Xhosa influenced tribe of hunters in between the Mekong and Congo, a tribe of fishermen on The Congo, The Goliath Tigerfish on The Congo, The Pak Ou Cave, a Lao cave on the Mekong lined with buddha statues left by pilgrims, an endangered type of River dolphin on the Mekong, leaf cutting ants on The Amazon, a swimming anaconda, an attack by Nile Crocodiles, Egyptian ruins on The Nile, and a thrilling conclusion featuring The Rapids Of Tutankhamen. The ride encircles an island where most of the scenes are set up. The island has a volcano that smokes periodically in the center. The narration mixes fact with comedy. Fake Wax Palm (Amazon Only), Banana, Orchid, Papaya, Pineapple, Aloe, Sausage Tree (In Africa Only), Kapok (On The Amazon Only), Durian ( On The Mekong Only), Teak (Mekong Only), Mahogany, and Eucalyptus plants cover up the rainforest. Fog machines bellow throughout the jungles, adding a sense of mystery. The new lost expedition story isn’t used in favor of a simple plot concerning a voyage across the jungle rivers of the world. The Cambodian Shrine is changed into a lost Khmer city with new lighting, a shrine to Ganesh, a temple similar to WDW’s, and a prison with a skeleton prisoner. All of this helps guests reflect on the futility of Man’s quest to overcome nature.
