My idea for the Mayan tree thing was that it was a take on the DisneyQuest elevator that had animated clips inside, and/or the elevator from The Living Seas, making it kind of a mini-ride, but having it as a landmark is also cool.
Wait, both could happen, as in, maybe the elevator will be the way out of Xibalba.

I’ve been working some more on the layout for the entry land. I loved the idea for a King Minos’s Labyrinth walkthrough, so I’ve added that in, but in the form of a true but not too difficult maze. I think it would be cool to put special effects or animatronics at each dead end, to add a sense of reward to actually getting a bit lost. At the end of the maze will be the Minotaur’s Dungeon, home to a huge Minotaur animatronic. I’m also adding a Greek Trireme docked in the harbor now that we know that we are going to have a central lagoon, with a snack or souvenir stand nearby themed to a shrine of Poseidon.

About to start working on the Underworld boat ride for Egypt. I'm calling it ”Escape The Underworld”. The idea behind this ride is that riders are following the Ba (the soul in the form of a human-headed bird) of a dead pharaoh from his tomb, through the dangerous Underworld and its many trials, and into the Field Of Reeds, the Egyptian afterlife. Guests load in the Great Pyramid's burial chamber before dropping down a steep slope into the Underworld. The underworld portion will be a fast-paced boat ride unlike any seen in the Disney Parks circa 1991, while the Field of Reeds portion will be more calm and slow-paced. The ride ends with a lift hill that takes guests up to an outdoor unloading area located beside the Great Pyramid that blends in with the nearby Marketplace.

@MonorailRed, I think you should return to this project once Citrus Dreamin' concludes. I really feel like you were a great leader last summer when you started this, which is why I think you should return. If you need some help leading, I've basically been leading this project for the past months, so I will be of assistance if necessary. We also need a LOT of visuals for the Parks and I don’t think I can do that alone, especially after seeing your concept art during Citrus Dreamin'.

I'm going to rework my WESTCOT Downtown Disney concept. Basically, it will have the Future World DisneyQuest near the entrance and World Showcase as its Pleasure Island with attractions, restaurants, shops, and clubs, including a nightly Global New Year celebration within the Palace Of All Nations as an equivalent to the Adventurer's Club, The Lost Kingdom, a small Mythology park with interactive elements that serves as a free alternative to Gate 3 located within a courtyard of the Palace Of All Nations, a Moroccan marketplace, a Venetian street, a Thai floating market, an Aztec temple, and a Parisian street. WESTCOT, much like Disney Springs, will be free of charge to visit. Also, if anyone wants to collaborate with me on this, please let me know!

Here's the new concept for WESTCOT, in which the continents are divided into subsections that are either countries, continents, or regions. WESTCOT is free to enter and its attractions and shows are free. Its dining options and mercantile options are what make WESTCOT's money.

🪩SPACE STATION EARTH🪩

Space Station Earth is a golden geodesic sphere that serves as the main landmark of WESTCOT. Guests enter underneath Space Station Earth. Space Station Earth holds FutureQuest, an arcade with games based on Horizons, Journey Into Imagination, Kitchen Kabaret, Listen To The Land, Spaceship Earth, Universe Of Energy, The Living Seas, Communicore, Wonders Of Life, and World Of Motion. The Monorail stop is located across from Space Station Earth.

A Few Halloween-Related Ideas Because That’s Coming Up In The Parks In The Coming Weeks:

The Country Bears gain a Halloween overlay called Country Bear Halloween

A miner's ghost stands near Big Thunder Mountain telling passersby the story of Henry Ravenswood and the Big Thunder Mining Company. (In this universe, Disney changed the Disneyland BTMR's backstory from the one in our universe to the one Disneyland Paris has in both universes a few months after Disneyland Paris opened.)

Staying in Frontierland, The Golden Horseshoe holds a reenactment of a Victorian seance as held by charlatans like the Fox sisters.

Fantasyland gains some roving villains representing the IP Attractions for guests to meet (Maleficent, The Evil Queen in her peddler disguise, Stromboli, Captain Hook, Winky and some Weasels, a few devils, and The Queen Of Hearts)

The Tiki Room is closed during the nighttime Halloween celebrations so that it doesn’t clash with the dark and spooky aesthetic of the park.

The Riverboat has a new spiel that tells tales of the supernatural that happened in the locations that are passed.

New Orleans Square probably will get the most attention during the Halloween celebrations. Pirates Of The Caribbean gets live actors portraying skeleton pirates in the caves and living pirates during the sacking of the town. A stall selling gris gris bags and voodoo dolls is set up on the New Orleans streets. Another stall includes cartomancy (card readings), palm readings, and tea leaf readings. Live actors portraying ghosts roam the queue of The Haunted Mansion. Live actors wander The Haunted Mansion's corridor of doors during the nighttime Halloween celebrations dressed in suits of armor and a few dressed as wraiths wander the cemetery.

Tom Sawyer Island is open at night as a peaceful and calming place to escape all the chaos and terror of the rest of the park with the exception of the caves, which are as spooky as the rest of the day.

@Miru, I seem to recall you asking me about mature Halloween offerings at one of my parks. Well, I think the mythology 3rd Gate would be a great place for more mature Halloween offerings like live actors wandering the streets at night and possibly a few mazes.

What do you think of the ideas for the main park?
The ideas for the main park are pretty good too. Maybe a sign outside the Tiki Room could say “the birds, flowers, & yes, even the tikis can’t stand the Halloween weather, so we have to close for the season.” Nothing for Tommorowland?

I also like the new ride ideas.

Oh, I forgot about Tomorrowland! Maybe there could be something with Space Mountain. (This is set in 1991, so I highly doubt that we have the tech to make a version of Ghost Galaxy that is as effective as the real one was)

Something as simple as villains from the represented IP there being meetable like in Fantasyland could work.

Here are some members of the site that I think could work well here:

@Charlie The Chatbox Ghost and @Half/CartoonHalf/Human (Well, this is a thing I’ve been working on with a lot of people y’all have probably seen here before since last summer and I think y’all should join! If you join, you’ll get more information about this really interesting project!)

@WaltWiz1901 and @Architectural Guinea Pig (I know y’all were already involved, but I think that y’all should return and help out a little)

Welcome back. I was wondering about other new additions I could do, such as themed restrooms similar to the Tangled one, or more on the Tommorowland Halloween content. One simple trick would be to shut off all lights on Space Mountain, then add a more atmospheric soundtrack to it. Assuming Star Tours is still a thing, we’d have Stormtroopers roaming the area too.
