But then we can't have the essential part of the Kong experience, The Empire State Building. It wouldn't be that hard to change the time period of the area, even though the land would lose some of the splendor in a Depression setting.

I've been wondering, considering the list you have for Critter Country on the list of your updates, would Critter Country take up the rest of current Frontierland(excluding Big Thunder Mountain of course) and Frontierland itself would be pushed out the berm?

Critter Country would be pushed outside the berm, going around Big Thunder Mountain and connecting Thunder Mesa while the rest of Frontierland would scale around the Rivers of America connecting to Fantasyland


What do you guys think of a Disney University?

Nope, Country Bears will stay where it is.

I'm also adding in some vanity amenities:

~Steam Train connecting The Wilderness Lodge, Fort Wilderness, Wilderness Junction, The Grand Central Station, The Grand Floridian and the Magic Kingdom.

~A ritual Limosine ride taking guests from The Hollywood Resort to the Disney-MGM Studios unloading them right in front of the Chinese Theater and onto the red carpet to the day's premiere of Cinemagic.

~A permanent EMH at Animal Kingdom for guests staying at either The Animal Kingdom Lodge or the Amazon Towers Resort (Amazon Towers Guests, get special raft ride as entrance to the park)

~Guests at the deluxe resorts will have their room keys as special Fast Passes depending on which theme park area they are in. (Just like at Universal) Port Disney and Magic Kingdom area deluxe resorts will enjoy unlimited fast pass access to both PD and MK; Epcot area resorts will have unlimited fast pass to EPCOT, Disney-MGM studios deluxe resorts receive unlimited fast pass to the Studios, same goes for AK deluxe resorts for AK.

~~(Coming Soon) Naboo Palace Resort at EPCOT themed to Star Wars and connects to the new EPCOT entrance plaza.

~~New "House of Mouse" themed restaurant at Downtown Disney

~~New waterways connecting Bay Lake and Downtown Disney's Crescent Lake and to the EPCOT waterways making new ferry system between 4 of the 5 parks.

~~**Here is a brief yet detailed description of the Grand Central Station:
-the Grand Central Station will be the new gateway to the new Walt Disney World where guests can make their way to all the 5 theme parks and the rest of the resort by means of disney's amry of transportation vehicles. From the elegant Steam Ships, the industrious ferry boats, the majestic Steam Train, the stylish magnetic Monorail to the ever so handy Bus Shuttles.
As guests walk through the 5 Golden arches (a stylistic arch for each of the Five parks), they will be greeted by a gorgeous water fountain reminiscent of the Sorcerer's Apprentice from Fantasia (a super sized version of the one in Paris) and the grand facade of the impressive main building of the Central Station (inspired by Disneyland Paris' Disneyland Hotel). inside lies a fantastically designed atrium where travellers scale flights upon flights of stairs and lushly decorated elevators all leading to loading platforms.
surrounding the building is the lovely Central Station Gardens and baywalk which features a lovely few of the Seven Seas Lagoon.
The gardens, littered with millions of colorful blossoms are divided in five sections each representing the 5 corners of Walt Disney World.

I've been having cool ideas to fix up JIIWF recently, incorporating Dreamfinder and Flubber as well as making Figment less obnoxious.
Figment would be introduced as the first living and visible imaginary friend created by Professor Dreamfinder, one of the founders of the Imagination Institute who has gone into seclusion. The sensory labs are here for the sake of finding out how it was done and see what else could be created solely from a person's mind. Figment tagging along for the ride to make things more interesting considering the Institute's overall scientific and precise way of looking at the Imagination.(I may need help refining the plotline)
The Sound Lab now would have various instruments as well as speakers. After the left and right tones, you can hear the strumming of a guitar to the tune of John Lennon's Imagine and hear Figment singing a bit as he appears with his multi colored guitar in hand. Channing asks what he's doing there and Figment claims the acoustics are really good here and explains music is an powerful outlet for creativity and then he starts playing a rock version of One Little Spark as the other instruments in the room start adding into the score.
Figment's antics in the Sight Lab would probably be changed into a word game with the words creativity, fun, inspiration and imagination as code words and then leading to numerous optical illusions and effects going on throughout the room as the Sight lab verse of One Little Spark is sang.
The Smell lab would probably have Figment messing with the institute's smellitizers,triggering memories and ideas which would appear in the machine(which no longer goes slots) and accidentally knocking over the fouler smelling ones like limberger cheese or skunk scent until emergency pine scented air fresheners
Now, we move onto the Touch lab where we encounter Flubber(going where the lab door hall is now) who Figment releases not knowing what would happen. Flubber bounces around the room, knocking out the lights and you feel the gooey guy bouncing on you and the cars. This bouncing knocks the cars off course and out of the Institute.
Now, we finally encounter Dreamfinder, who tells Channing that Imagination should be released and not contained which has been Figment's point this whole time, and takes us all to the Dreamport, which Dreamfinder created when the Institute started to be more confining to imagination. The Dreamport scene replaces the Touch and Taste Lab door and goes into an added track section through the signs to Figment's house and then through what was Figment's house. The Dreamport scene is basically some of the stuff from the original compressed into these areas(Including art, literature and science). Figment, Dreamfinder and Channing animatronics would appear throughout this section and the finale would be changed as the power of the now released imagination creates many things within the formerly confining Institute with Figment at the center of the room singing the song as numerous creative things fly about the room. Before the ride ends, Dreamfinder invites us to the ImageWorks with is back upstairs.

I'd also want to fix up Haunted Mansion with new effects, such as the floating Leota effect and a changing portrait hall by making the current painting hall into one and use the thunderstorm change effects like they have now at Disneyland.
I've had ideas for the Godzilla vs. Kong sequence in KoD using a but of the Godzilla theme for when you hear his roar, a Kong theme for when you hear his roar and the track "King of the Monsters" from Final Wars for the actual battle music. Kfaux, I can email you the track using G-Mail I Bet...

great work Kevin and tahu :) !


I'm thinking of a whole bunch of new attractions for Port Disney:

-Pirate Mountain - A Flume ride more based on the PoTC movies
-Muppet Treasure Island - A playground
-Paradise Shores - A sort of mainstreet waterfront area where all the exotic ports of the world are belended into a rich and diverse waterfront street with various attractions and shopping and dining opportunities
-The Leviathan - a thrilling new water coaster for Arabian Coast

I've also been brainstorming ideas for AK's Australia. (which would be a great transition from Beastlie Kingdomme to Africa)

-The Great Barrier Reef - a really for real scuba diving adventure
-Shark Attack! - guests are lowered in a steel cage in a tank full of sharks
-Nemo's Great Submarine Voyage - similar to DL's upcoming e-ticket
-Australia - an adventurous jeep ride through the outback at night.

The Godzilla ride was one of the first concepts i have ever dreamed up for Disney (i didn't include it here) and it had to versions both focusing on the Studios theme of MGm and had guests participate as extras in a special movie version using a giant robot. But lately, with the age of CGI and Godzilla being a guy in a rubber suit anyway, I've decided to re-think the attraction and make it more "authentic".

I won't post the full details yet since i'm kinda not at home right now but the readers digest version fot he ride is that People board a bullet train in Japan to their doom at the hands of Godzilla.

Why not add in some of Godzilla's classic enemies? Like Ghidorah, Mothra, Rodan, Mechagodzilla and Anguirus? Then it could be a nice tribute to the series in general. That and have the guests take on the roles as trainies for the Japanese Self Defense Force becoming part of the crew of the Gotengo or Mechagodzilla or the various Super X battleships.

The new Godzilla attraction will be part of another huge expansion for the Studios, pushing the open area from the Streets of America further back and making it round its way Toon Studios that leads to Animation Courtyard.

Godzilla will be the inspiration for two rides, one located in Sci-Fi City, the other found in the Streets of America occupying the old King Kong v.s. Godzilla entrance, both rides however, are connected to each other. The rides: Godzilla Attacks! and JSDF Training Academy These two rides will be co-dependent. And the actions on both rides will effect the over all ending.

Godzilla Attacks! - On what is supposed to be a bullet train tour through the city of Tokyo, guests are rattled when a gigantic monster appears from the depths of Tokyo harbour. What's even worse is that the train is right on Godzilla's trail and the train system has malfunctioned and is going straight to the battle zone. Can the train's operator stop the train in time? or will Godzilla have his way with us?

JSDF Training Academy - You are all being recruited by the armed forces of Japan to join the Japan Self-Defense Academy. You are on your test mission when (on new state of the art fighter jets) Godzilla attacks Tokyo and you must be sent out to the field to take him out. Unfortunately you are instructed to not fire as long as there are civilians around and news is coming through that there is a bunch of tourists stuck in a bullet train right in the war zone.


More Expansion:

Uptown Disney, a high-class shopping and recreational area where the Central Station is, will receive the Walt Disney Museum a giant museum dedicated to the history of the Walt Disney Company. Its main icon, the old Disney-MGM Studios Sorcerer Mickey Hat.

Downtown Disney to receive Paradise Pier inspired by Disney's California Adventure.

Disney's Animal Kingdom will receive Australia, a land that will heavily revolve on the Great Barrier Reef and feature a titanic water tank where guests will be able to go scuba diving and snorkelling. Also included will be Disney's first live Dolphin show and a version of Disneyland's Finding Nemo Submarine Ride. There will also be a new jeep ride through the Australian Outback plus exhibits featuring Australia's well known animal icons like the Koala and the ever-hopping Kangaroo.

Awesome ride plan! Would be neat to see King Ghidorah appear in the near end of the rides as the bullet train guests are shaked and rattled by the two monsters battle while the JSDF is forced to work with Godzilla to take down Ghidorah. Reason behind putting Ghidorah in is because he is Godzilla's greatest foe, the equivalent of the Joker to Batman, Lex Luthor to Superman, or Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin to Spiderman, Dr. Doom to the Fantastic Four among many other comparisons. The three headed dragon could be very intimidating too(considering he was called "The King of Terror" in one of the films he was in), attacking the car more agressively and throwing it around using gravity beams until Godzilla catches the car and puts it back on the track, showing a hint of that 70's defender of humanity persona.
Just a suggestion for an awesome climax for an awesome ride.
