Gravity Falls (Dinoland USA retheme!)

[CookieMouse]

I’m sure I’m not the first person to think of this, but gravity falls just fits so well as a dinoland USA replacement. Especially with the tourist trap backstory, not to mention gravity falls deals with supernatural creatures and the like. My idea for a gravity falls overlay of dinoland would be a overhaul of the land, dinosaur would stay but rethemed to gravity falls, this time as Mr Mystery’s mysterious tour of mystery. It would start out as some cheap looking tour through the woods with obviously fake looking cardboard cutouts and cheap props, but then dipper (who is assisting grunkle Stan in the tour) redirects the tour to give the guests something real, leading to encounters with many creatures form throughout the series, including a animatronic Bill cipher that interacts with the guests in an attempt to make a deal with them. The ride would exit out into a recreation of the titular mystery shack, where t shirts and other items can be purchased. The adjacent restrauntosaurus would be rethemed to greasys diner. While the Dino Rama area would likely either serve as a future expansion to the land, or a new land entirely, maybe one that would expand the gravity falls area into a mini land of a bigger tourist trap style land

A natural fit!¿ It would have been glorious! Shame they didn't consider it or really appreciate what they had with Gravity Falls. Now of course, it's too late but the series had tons of potential and enough content to easily build an entire land around. From high thrill attractions to darkrides to a leisurely maze or mini golf area.... the tourist trap vibe of the show would have worked well with DAKs current Dinoland USA offerings as would the mythic creatures plot points.

I think had the show featured more animal-centric episodes (not just those of mythic origins or cameos from Waddles and/or Ducktective) and had it been more universally praised by Disney's target audience a.k.a. kids age 6-12, it would have been a shoo-in for consideration.

That said... I'd love to visit Gravity Falls, Oregon! Be it at DAK or any other park. Sounds like a fun concept!
