right...but it would still be the most expensive ride at WDW...
I don't know that Disney Seas would bring a lot of new things to WDW.
I was there in 2006 for a day. While it was neat, the rides were not totally new.
Examples:
Overall I was able to go through seas in about 4 hours. Granted it was not too busy that day, but still there was not that much to see.

Examples:
- Indy at Seas was the same as DL, or a different version of Dinasaur that is at AK (Indy would be better
). - Journey to the center of the earth is based on the technology of test track believe it or not. I was not super impressed with it to be honest (short ride).
- They just got a TOT clone, but not as good as WDW's
- 20K Under the sea was pretty cool, but I would just put it back into the MK.
- The weather ride, would be a great addition to Epcot. But think of it as a HISTA type ride.

Trust me Disney has the rights to put JttCotE anywhere it wants. The price tag of over 300 million is the thing that is slowing them down. Disney has strict control of Intellectual property of all rides in Disney Themed parks it doesn't matter who invested more money or who controls the park.

Apparently not, now there's a Disneyland Mississippi thread:brick:
OLC has only a 10 year exclusivity contract with WDC. After that anything is up for "stealing." :animwink: They can, but probably won't. DisneySea was crazy expensive and is FANTASTIC but it's not super popular anymore and it's s__________g the budgets away like crazy. They sort of forgot their target audience with that one (Japanese guests vs. Western guests).

They kinda do...the waterparks.
Entertainment and entertainment delivery are changing...I suspect or rather hope that if we ever see a 5th gate that it will totally revolutionize the concept of the "theme park"....
Just my opinion.

Wellll......little more complicated than that.
I'll let the one on the boards with some...um...hands on experience in this area give the specifics if he wants.

Rather than a 5th park, we need to start thinking of Bridge Parks. Thes are small areas, themed to possibly only one attraction, that is accessible to one or more parks via some conveyence from inside the park. For example, as the Monorail takes you from MK to Epcot, do it from inside the park, literally connecting all four parks into one collective whole. Not by bus, although those would still run, but by some ride conveyence. Imagine a Test Track type ride that would shuttle guests from Epcot to D/MGM. Or high-speed mag-lev from Tomorrowland to AK (both futuristic and envirnmentally friendly.) Now, imagine if halfway there was a stop for some big new attraction. You won't need to build a whole new park or it's infrastucture, but not infringe on the themeing for an existing park. Anyway, just a random thought...

I for one am looking forward to the fifth park. Think about it. A park where the guest rule. A park where there would be no castmembers because the other four can't get staffed right now.
Which I guess would be a good thing since new (domestic) theme parks hardly have any attractions anyway.
