Alright, real quick before we get too much into the new topic. My pitch for the entrance land/icon mixing my ideas with things I've seen people suggesting here.
The Forgotten Jungle (working title)
A very natural feeling jungle environment inspired by Southeast Asia (mainly India and Tibet regions). The same regions that influence the Asia section of Animal Kingdom. Incorporating past ideas we've had like Shangri-La, Lemuria, and the Base Camps
This is a very very rough broad map.
Orange is the main path. A bit winding to control and pace the reveal of new exciting structures. To the left side of the path is mostly ruins of ancient temples reclaimed by nature over the last few centuries. To the right side of the path is a forbidden mountain range not found on any maps. Along the path there are no signs of any civilization or human settlements for hundreds of years. Except, of course, the base camps set up by explorers from around the world throughout history who have sought to explore this mysterious land. Their mostly abandoned camps now serve as stores and restaurants for adventures foolish enough to enter this land still. Explorers like us.
Green is an animal trail not unlike the Maharajah Jungle Trek from DAk featuring local animals in ruins they've taken over.
Brown (directly across from the animal trails) is a ropes course/playground with caves to explore at the base of the mountains.
Blue is actually two things. First up is either @ThatGuyFromFlorida's Jungle Book Dark Ride or some other kind of B/C-Ticket attraction that can be housed in the ruins. Then, bordering the "HUB" is a river rapids ride themed to a quest to find Lemuria (the Indian legendary lost continent that was previously discussed as a possibility for a land).
Red is essentially Shangri-La. A larger mountain show building housing two attactions. First is a C-Ticket dark ride themed to Journey to the West (some suggested suspended, others said boat. I'm impartial). Then, with an entrance bordering the "HUB" is an Expedition Everest type coaster through the upper parts of the mountain show building themed to an exploration to find Shangri-La.
This entry land would serve as almost a reverse funnel. With attractions and shops lining it the ramp up in scale and excitement (A-Tickets, to C-Tickets, to D/E-Tickets). Inviting guests to travel onwards and join these explorations. The Basecamps of previous explorers fron around the world throughout history allow us to add some international flair smoothly and naturally as well have a very unique shops and dining that fit the themes.
The winding paths helps pace the reveals. First it is mostly trees and tents. Then you see more ruins. Then it bends again to see mountains. Then it opens up to the HUB
The hub would be a large lake with ships from different explorers from around the world and throughout history docked at the edge of the water. A makeshift port at the jungle's entrance that various explorers and adventurers have used. Guests may even ride in one or two of the ships.
The impression icon of the park is seen across the water. On the other side of the lagoon. An intriguing sight beckoning guests to come find it. Either a recreation of or something inspired by the Alexandria lighthouse! A goal for guests to find to start them on the adventure given without any instructions or written advice. All visual and atmospheric storytelling!
Posted this as a revised version of my ideas from before in the main thread
