Disney Warrior’s Random Ideas Thread (Alt History 1/1/23)
- Thread starter Disney Warrior
- Start date
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Ah yes, the park that I like to jokingly call “Disney’s IP Studios”. With a name like that, you’d expect it to be the worst, but that’s the other studio park, this one is mostly good.
Hollywood Boulevard
Simple, bring back Great Movie Ride and make it better.
Echo Lake
Replace Star Tours with a simulator themed to classic sci-fi B-movies.
Grand Avenue
In the northeast section of the land, add a muppet dark ride named “The Great Muppet Ride”.
Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge and Commissary Lane
These two lands are fine as they are, they don’t need changes (I think that’s a first).
Toy Story Land
Retheme the land back to Pixar Place by extending the Incredibles area and forming a pathway to the Star Wars -Toy Story transition space (another land will be added from this path as well), this new sub-area would contain an Incredibles ride of some kind as well as a Monstropolis sub area with a door coaster, oh and that toy story restaurant would be built.
Animation Courtyard
Mickey’s PhilarMagic replaces Little Mermaid, a new path is built near Magic of Disney Animation connecting it to a new land, Disney Junior is replaced by Animator’s Palette from the cruise ships.
Sunset Boulevard
Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy gets replaced by the Bulldog Cafe (from California) and Rockin Roller Coaster is rethemed to the Rocketeer (sorry, I had to retheme it to make the land more cohesive), a path to a new land is built near Bulldog Cafe. Beauty and the Beast would be replaced by a Snow White show.
Middle Earth
Built above Galaxy‘s Edge (with entrances in the Star Wars-Toy Story transition area and near the muppets attractions), this Lord of the Rings/Hobbit themed land provides a fantasy-themed land to counter the animation and live action themed lands. Attractions include a spinner and a thrilling boat flume ride (I honestly don’t know much about the series, I just threw it in for balance).
Roger Rabbit‘s Hollywood
Located in the northeast section of the park (connecting sunset boulevard and animation courtyard) is a land themed to some people‘s favorite Disney mouse not named Mickey. Attractions include a clone of Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin as well as a simulator named Toontown Transit and an indoor wild mouse named Roller Coaster Rabbit.
That’s it for the better studio park, next up will be my favorite Disney Park, Animal Kingdom.

Are you gonna adding more animals like chimpanzees, more bats, insects like bees, wasps, butterflies, cicadas, etc, as sea creatures like whales, dolphins, sharks, fishes and more?
I probably won’t considering I mainly focus on rides and new lands

"Lord of the Rings" would be awesome at Hollywood Studios. It could go in the Indiana Jones section and add the final piece to the puzzle, that would control and pull crowds in a 5th direction (including Runaway Railway).
But I think Universal is more likely from the recent rumors that have started up again. "Theme Park Stop" says Rings might go in one of the expansion pads, between Wizarding World and How to Train your Dragon. Plus Universal has more of a working relationship with Peter Jackson, having done King Kong with him.

The Tolkien fan in me would hate a LOTR land. The books and films rely so much on a sense of scale, journey, and a pattern of rest and relaxation that’s difficult to achieve in a theme park land. Perhaps a whole park could do it some justice, but I wouldn’t have high hopes.
I guess a potential fantasy-themed land in DHS should be an original IP instead…
(Also, to my audience, I am planning a bluesky Disney park called Disney’s Ancient Worlds, with lands based on the Ice Age, Dinosaurs, Egypt, and others)
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom, my favorite Disney park, still needs some changes ever since the wrath of Cheapek came along, however some of these changes should’ve happened when Iger was boss, anyways, I won’t really be discussing new animals, but DinoLand and Pandora should get more animals.The Oasis
No changes.
Discovery Island
It’s Tough to be a Bug is replaced by an original show themed around the Earth, tying together all lands.
Pandora The World of Avatar
As much as I would love to add Beastly Kingdom or retheme this land to oceans, I think this land should be kept due to the sheer popularity of Flight of Passage, just add an animal or two.
Africa
The main land stays the same, however the Wildlife Express Train now travels to a new North American land as Rafiki’s Planet Watch would be closed.
Asia
The Up bird show is rethemed to focus on Asian birds (Up attractions get placed in a new land, I don’t get the retheme), Kali River Rapids gets replaced by a new land, and Finding Nemo is replaced by a Jungle Book show and it is now considered part of Asia.
DinoLand
Chester and Hester have got to go, it (with the exception of Triceratop Spin, which is rethemed to flying dinosaurs) is removed and replaced by a flume ride about water dinosaurs, Dinosaur becomes Countdown to Extinction, animals that have existed since when dinosaurs are around (including dino relatives) are added. A new nighttime show is created to replace KiteTails.
South America
Accessed by either one of two paths near the bird show and a path near Everest, this land is themed to the lush wildlife of the Amazon, attractions include a thrilling mine train coaster themed to a South American mine, a theater where shows are played, a balloon spinner themed to Up, and a place to meet the Up characters (Paradise Falls). There is also a base camp where you can get food and items.
North America
Located behind South America in the wide open expansion plot (this land can also be accessed by the train), this land is themed to the wilderness of the Western US and Canada. Rides include a Brother Bear dark ride and a Smokey Bear show that teaches guests not to start forest fires. Guests can dine in a lodge. (This land is also made to not be too similar to Frontierland).
Next up we will be discussing potential 5th gates and expansion plots, then after that, Disneyland Resort in Anaheim is next.

5th gate for WDW would be villians park. I think we need to fix Disney's California Adventure which we need to
fix Hollywoodland with attractions: Muppet dark ride, The Great Movie Ride, Monster Sound Show, Superstar Television, Toontown Transit, Baby Herman's Runaway Baby Buggy Ride, and Dick Tracy's Crimestoppers.
I will be keeping Roger rabbit in Disneyland‘s Toontown, for 5th gate, I will be going over possible ideas, and we will get to DCA when we get there

I think DCA should have Toontown Transit (takes place in Union Station, Los Angeles), the Great Movie Ride, Maroon Studios mini land with Baby Herman's Runaway Baby Buggy Ride, and Muppet Studios mini land.
5th Gates for Walt Disney World
The simple answers here would be DisneySea, DisneySky, or a mythology themed park. But I have some other ideas that could work for a 5th gate at WDW as well.
Disney’s Tragic Kingdom
This park would act as the complete opposite of Magic Kingdom.
Lands here would include:
Mean Street: A gloomy Main Street influenced by Cruella de Vil
Fiendish Forest: A dark forest land inspired by the Black Forest in Germany, there would be attractions themed to villains such as the Evil Queen, Maleficent, and Gaston.
Wild Waters: A rough seas themed land with Little Mermaid and Pirates influences
Old West: A barren and abandoned Frontierland with a darker Western River Expedition
Far Future: A darker Tomorrowland that has been taken over by aliens and unknown Disney Villains.
The icon for this park would be Bald Mountain, which would be home to a thrilling coaster and a nighttime show.
For this next idea, I was originally going to use it for an upcoming alternate history idea, but I chose to do something else for it.

This park would be themed to the 7 Wonders of the World, and the park icon would be a globe, as shown above.
Lands would include:
Egypt: Would feature the Pyramids and an Indiana Jones ride
China: Great Wall, potential Mulan attraction
Peru: Land would be themed to the Andean mountains, and Macchu Picchu would be in the background
Italy: Would look different from Epcot, since it would have the Colosseum
Jordan: The land would be themed to the ancient city of Petra.
India: Land themed to a marketplace, has Taj Mahal
Australia: While not a true Wonder of the World, The Great Barrier Reef would be featured here.

Genius, it's kinda of a combination of Epcot and Animal Kingdom.
You also have to know that I left some out (Chichen Itza, Christ Redeemer) because I wanted more variety in the lands (and it might be kinda boring) for the latter or proximity to WDW for the former. Hint about alternate history: it involves a never built Disney resort.

I can understand why, some people may not want a Giant Jesus. I'm cool with it, but some other people may not be.

As for the villain park, it's got to be on top of Disney's list of possible ideas. It's too good not to be, that's why I'm going with one in my resort as well. People love the villains, if they are done well they can really make or break a movie.
Euro Disneyland Alternate History Introduction
(pretend this logo says Spain instead of Paris)
As you may know, a Disneyland theme park located in Europe was once intended to be built in Spain. The reason why Euro Disneyland exists in Paris, France is because Disney wanted a central location in Western Europe. Now, I personally think that a Spanish Disneyland should have happened because DLP kinda sucks. Sure, the castle park looks great and all, but they haven’t added many new attractions in a while (which is mainly due to the failure of a second gate). And don’t get me started on said second gate (WDSP), which only exists due to a contract that required one to be built no more than 10 years after DLP opened. There were also too many hotels, and from what I’ve heard, it gets cold in Northern France. This resort was the reason why we never get WestCOT at the original Disneyland. But enough rambling, let’s get on to the nitty gritty.
In this alternate reality, Disneyland Paris instead gets built in Barcelona, Spain, where PortAventura was built in our timeline (on the Disney side, WestCot replaces DCA and Hong Kong will get a second gate, which is either SW Wilson's HK Disney Sea or Disney's Dark Kingdom from Sorcerer’s Apprentice and Great Movie Ride with Blight Reef added). In Paris, a Universal resort exists instead with one (or possibly 2) parks. The next post will be an overview of the Disneyland Spain resort, it will discuss the resort’s components.

Disneyland Spain Resort
(pictured above is the castle park‘s main icon, Sleeping Beauty Castle, this resort will have some similarities to OTL’s Disneyland Paris)The Disneyland Spain Resort opened in May of 1991, alongside 3 resort hotels and the Disney Village. Disneyland Park was praised for its beauty and variety of attractions across 5 (now 6) lands (though I’ve heard rumors that Disney is adding another land in the future). The resort was so popular that Disney executives wanted to add a second gate to the resort. I think they were originally planning on a studios park, but after the successes of Epcot in Florida and WestCot in California, EuroCot opened at the Disneyland Spain Resort in October of 2012, 30 years after the original Epcot opened. I’m excited to see the future of this resort.

Disney is all about happiness and like, feeling free. A whole day in a park of villains just makes it depressing. Also, parents wouldn’t exactly want their children going to these places, no matter how “family friendly” the villians are.
I get that demographic, but sometimes my concepts will probably never happen in real life, they are concepts that I’d like to see happen (even if they’re unrealistic)
