I like your ideas i just have one comment so far... A lot of your parks have only the lands that are inthe original park... Like your WorldCOT or DisneySea...

Add somemore of yourown original ideas for countries in WorldCOT... the only original country is Switzerland... Take out a few others and replace them with original ones or planned but never achieved ones like Russia...

Also for DisneySea... add more lands or change them up becuase all you have are the ones in Tokyo right now... how about a land based on Greece or Greek Heros and Gods/GOddesses... Or something so it doesnt seem like a copy..

And Animal Kingdom same thing... YOu have the same lands as inthe park now... How about changing upt he animal Countries to the Amazon and Austrailia and add a Beastly Kingdomme type land.. or something...

One more thing... I like the idea for Kingdoms of Imagination... I just dont see all of those lands as part of Imagination... I think the figment land is good but i dont see how everything else comes together... To me it seems a bit disjointed...

Overall good start... speaking from experience on these forums i think that seven parks is a little much but it can be done it has to be thought about carefully and such...

I cant wait to see what else you do...

PS im sorry im not trying to be mean... i just want to see cool parks that are original not that seems like copies.. becuase if you look at the Diseny parks that are not original... ie MK style parks they are all different in some little way that makes a big difference..

Thanks For Your Comment, MaterA113

WorldCOT - You Notice That I Added The Weather Pavillion & renamed The Center part (CommuniCore) after an former Epcot Pavillion In Future World, But What Counties Must i remove & replace -or- even added?

DisneySea U.S.A. - I'll add a Greek Myths Themed area

Animal World - i've called "Animal World" instead Of "Animal Kingdom" in the way that walt disney world has "The Magic Kingdom" instead of "Disneyland",i was thinking about putting "The Amazons" and "Austraillia" in the park, you notice put "Beastly Kingdom" above "Camp Minnie-Mickey"

Kingdom Of Imagination - You want me to reclassify "Figment Square" as the Entrance area & rethemed the park with areas based upon the ideas from the original "Journey Into Imagination" (The Arts, Literature, Entertainment, & Science)?

Once Again Thanks For The Comment, MaterA113

 

[MaterA113]

YEah i saw the Weather Pavilion and CommuniCOre, i like those ideas...

HOw about instead of indivudal countries, making them the continentals like the plan for WestCOT, it would feature, North AMerica, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa... What do you think??? Then you could encompass the whole world and not just a few countries...

Sorry i missed teh Beastly Kingdomme...

I like the redesign of Kingdoms of Imagination park that you mention.. If you theme it more to JiI indirectly throughout the park it will be i think a much cohesive and better park and experrience... Because i just didnt really see how Cars, Figment, and Bugs fit together... Maybe you could move Bugs Land to Animal World... Maybe your Imagination Park could be somewhat similar to your Furture World but instead of focusing on the facts of Future WOrld it could feature what could be or what might be or what would dream to be?? im mainly talking about the Science area... but idk... I dont know how the entertainment would be because you have a Studios park... But i really like your retheme and redo idea.. I say stitck to that and it could have many great possibilites

 

[megatron_85]

Good idea on WorldCOT's World Showcase

& I've Moved "A bug's land" to animal world

& we all make mistakes about knowing that BK is there or not

& I updated KoI to fit the imagination

& finally, for your infomation (Enertainment = Performing Arts)

thanks, MaterA113

Here are Just some of my suggestions:

Disney Great Lakes Park

1. Have five great lakes and around each have a themed area and call the park Disney's Lakes of Discovery.
2. One area should be "Mythia", A Greek and Roman myths and legends inspired area
3. The next area should be "Discovery Bay" including The Island at the Top of the World : A zeppelin ride to a lost civilization in the Arctic, http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hill/archive/2005/05/22/609.aspx
4. Another are should be "Sci-Fi City" including Nostromo : A hi-tech interactive attraction inspired by the movie Alien. In which visitors would have rolled through the darkened corridors of the Nostromo.Riding inside of heavily armored vehicles. Armed with laser cannons guests would have have been sent on rescue mission to find the missing members of Nostromo's crew as well as rid the spaceship of all alien intruders.http://bp1.blogger.com/_OO7WbmARD08/SCOX4juqlzI/AAAAAAAAG-c/4PdA6TOP9pA/s1600-h/image18.jpg

http://bp0.blogger.com/_OO7WbmARD08/SCOX0TuqlyI/AAAAAAAAG-U/UiKJBpbzUzk/s1600-h/image16.jpg

http://bp3.blogger.com/_OO7WbmARD08/SCOXwDuqlxI/AAAAAAAAG-M/_Q3_r2mPvVU/s1600-h/image17.jpg

5. Also an area named "Atlantis", themed after the underwater city that will include Atlantis Expedition : A re-theming of the Submarine Voyage in Tomorrowland at Disneyland and Odessea : A nighttime spectacular


I will let you think up the last one. I willl give you more of my suggestions a little later.

 

[FigmentJedi]

So, is a lot of this resort going to be indoors or something? So it would actually be more capable of staying open year round?

Also, Figment Park= JAWESOME IDEA

wolfeman8, i think already got greek myth themed area in DisneySea U.S.A., but i can based "Mythia" on other global myths & i can add one lake to list: "Lake Mickey-Donald"

So, is a lot of this resort going to be indoors or something? So it would actually be more capable of staying open year round?

that's right Tahu, a very lot indoors

 

[FigmentJedi]

Also, I'm thinking it's a little too big. Maybe cut down on the Epcot and Animal Kingdom based parks, consolidate some of those ideas into other parts.
Like the Figment park could use some of the Future World stuff to comprise Science land, or take a cue from old Disneyland ideas and bring International Street into the Disneyland park for the World Showcase stuff.

Tahu, it's just for fun, i'm not gonna actually build a disney theme park

I know, I'm just trying to make you think a little more realistically with your armchair Imagineering. Especially with the location in mind.
Plus, bringing down the number of parks could help increase the size of others.

i'll think about it

 

[MaterA113]

im i agree with Tahu... I think you should cut back on Epcot and Animal Kingdom ideas becasue both can be branched off to other parks... like Epcot could go to Figment park and MK and DisneySea and ANimal kingdom could have ideas in the other parks as well

ok, fine, Tahu, You win

[FigmentJedi]

So, you saving Haunted Mansion and PIrates of the Caribbean for the other parks then? Cause Pirates would be good for the DisneySea style one.

 

[MaterA113]

yeah that is a good idea about the pirates... maybe you should have a Port o Pirates type land...
