DISNEY'S LOST WORLDS
Theme Park Premise
"Guests are explorers departing on research expeditions to discover mythic lost civilizations throughout the world, with each "Lost World" being a place where myths live in harmony with nature."
Think this approach could preserve a lot of the nature, myth and culture we've been discussing, but in a more directed and exciting way. Like Disney's Animal Kingdom, animal exhibits line the ruins and make the settings feel lived-in. Lots of worldwide settings are still represented, but in a less "edutaining" way.
The entry land could be a base camp in a remote village where we leave on our adventure. Makes guests the center of the story. Full of artifacts already recovered.
-------------------------
Shangri-La Basic Concept
Picturing this as set entirely within a lush mountain valley, somewhat like how DisneySea's Mysterious Island is laid out. Accessed from the entry land via mountain passes and tunnels. Maybe make our mountains U-shaped and facing the real mountains north of the site.
-------------------------
Above are the highlights for the Hong Kong Disneyland 2nd Gate Project (as of 8/14/18) by the 1902 Carthay Circle Team.
In this thread, we are specifically discussing and creating the attractions, restaurants, shops, and more of the Shangri-La area. Here we can design the layout, organize our thoughts, and then chime back in on the main 1902 thread, to keep everyone up to speed on the progress.
Anyone is free to chime in at anytime, all are welcome to post their ideas/suggestions for the land, and with that let the discussion begin.
