So there has been a lot of talk about expanding Disneys Hollywood Studios recently, especially with all the new stuff Universal plans to do to their Orlando Studios park, as well as the awesome DCA relaunch Disney just did in Cali this year. That being said, I got to thinking about what I think should be done to the parks to bring WDW back to the top of its game.
Magic Kingdom: complete retheme of Tomorrowland to a more Steampunk/Jules Verne adventure style. That way the land wouldn't go out of style in ten years. The Monsters gotta go, as does Stitch.
I also think a new E-ticket should be added to Adventureland.
Epcot: major redo of Future World. I like the Discoveryland idea many have thought of in the past, as well as the added greenery/trees/waterfalls/fountains/shade to the area. I could see the 'gravestones' removed, a more open entryway created, shops and small attractions added as you make your way past Spaceship Earth. I'd love to see Innoventions given the axe, opening up the area for more attractions.
I think most agree Imagination and Universe of Energy both need serious overhauls...and something needs to replace Wonders of Life. maybe a weather pavillion with a copy of Stormrider?
World Showcase could use a new country or two. Add a few rides to the area! A Mt Fuji or modernized version of the Matterhorn would be a good addition here.
Studios: Adios Backlot. Adios Sounds dangerous. Adios American Idol. Focus on two things in this park: the Hollywood that never was and always will be, and(stealing a line from Universal) RIDE THE MOVIES! It's a movie themed park after all! Rides have got to get in here ASAP. Preferably more family/dark rides, and I thrill ride or two as well. The layout of this park needs to become more reflective of all the other parks: one that loops around. Too many narrow or dead end corridors in here. It's an absolute mess. The whole area from the animation courtyard should loop around to Sunset Blvd. There are already so many great ideas in other threads as to what people think should be added, and I agree with most ideas!
Animal Kingdom: should start by adding Austrailia. Doesn't need to be a huge area, but their awesome animals should be showcased. Asia: get some pandas! They have quite a good rep with China. Make it happen!
(fix the Yeti!)
Axe the train. Unless they're going to put a worthwhile expansion back there, what the point? I'd like to see more animals from South America and NorthAmerica added as well.
How about an arctic area? They could add Ice Mountain...an inverted coaster adventure through icy caverns passing polar bears!
I'd also love to see a version of Mystic Manor brought to this park...and maybe more prehistoric creatures, like Sabertooth tigers and wooly mammoths.
Dark rides and cool places need to be added badly to this park. How come there isn't a Jungle Book ride? Or Tarzan ride? Both would be good additions.
Typhoon Lagoon: Tornado style slides. Bowl style slides. These two attractions could greatly help expand the park and spread out the crowds.
Blizzard Beach: worlds longest hydro magnetic watercoaster. Dark family rafting ride. Body slide complex. These additions would beef up Blizzard Beach so much, that I wouldn't care to go to any other waterparks outside of Disney!
Well there's my ideas to fix or re-imagine the parks...what do you think?
