~LONGHORN PLAZA~(replaces "Sunshine Plaza")
~RED RIVER GATEWAY~(replaces "Golden Gateway")
~DOWNTOWN~(replaces "Hollywood Pictures Backlot")
~LONE STAR STATE~(replaces "Golden State")
~HILL COUNTRY FARMS~(replaces "Bountiful Farm" & "Golden Vine Winery")

~GULF PORT~(replaces "Pacifc Wharf")
~BOARDWALK BAY~(replaces "Paradise Pier")
~GRAND TEXAN HOTEL~(replaces "Grand Californian Hotel")

Above are mainly the sections and their names. I did not add "A bug's land" to Disney's Texas Adventure. Instead, I changed the Redwood Challenge Trail area into a Camp Mickey & Minnie. Here is the thing...I need help. If you any better names for the name below please tell me.

-Space Central (based on the Space Center in Houston)
-Red River Gateway (based on the Red River that borders Texas and Oklahoma)
-Downtown (based on the urban centers of Texas)

I will post section detail in the next few posts so that they are separated and organized.

Please also note: Downtown Disney is also a part of the resort which I need a name for. Does "Disney's Texan Resort" sound ok?

**Background Information**
-JFK was shot in Dallas. The attraction will focus on a tribute to JFK with a walk trough begining and waiting lobby and then the attraction will progress with a film honor him and all the other presidents that were assasinated.
-Traffic Jam will be a Mr. Toad's Wild Ride type attraction but based around the Texas highways.

**HELP!**

-Can anyone come up with better resturant names?
-Should Millionair be replaced?
-What do you think of JFK?


**ALSO PLEASE NOTE**
-Tower of Terror will be an add-on attraction in later years. Here is some information about that:

-Reunion Tower Hotel: TOWER OF TERROR
(art-deco hotel themed to the Reunion Tower in Downtown Dallas a.k.a. the big ball...the ride will progess the same but with a Texas feel)

In general a Texas Adventure park does have promise, problem with the way you are doing it I can see is that you are taking an existing park and trying to convert it into a different themed one.

This might work if you were turing to literally turn DCA into another park, but from what I can see you are designing a new one

I think you will be extremely limited by doing a "conversion" then if you just started from scratch and designed the park around a texas theme rather than overlaying a Texas theme onto a California themed park

 

[rct247]

Really...well thanks for the advice...I mainly chose to us the California park because I could edit it easier in Photoshop to change names and add new attractions...until I can become a better Photoshop user, I will stick with this design plan...I may choose to redo it in the future though...

Thanks again for the commments...

Below is the rest of the "lands"

Instead of Traffic Jam you could use the I-35 construction obstical course or 5 o'clock bumper cars.

Actually, there is a surprisingly small amount of land available in Katy. A Chinese businessman bought up 40,000 acres for a Chinese cultural center.
