If Toontown became a 5th gate park

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

all these new lands and attractions that have or are going to replaced beloved classics all the time they spent renovating and demolishing in an active park they could have built a 5th gate. I was thinking how would all these fit into a park without making another DCA disaster then it occluded to me, bring back Toontown as a 5th gate. The hub could be based on the original toontown itself surrounded by Toy Story land, Cars land, Frozen could have had a section, mine coaster could have been placed there instead just to add to the roster nothing against it then add Monsters inc, that’s a lineup.

I’m not convinced that the current Disney brass could properly design and build a cohesive theme park at this point.

Although not entirely against the exploration of a 5th gate in Florida, I do hope very much that the current leadership is long, long, gone before embarking on this type of a project.

So at this point , give me rethemes, overlays, new cupcakes, and we’ll just call it a day.

Because the 'brass' would obviously be the ones designing and building the park.

Aren't they?

They’d be the ones approving what’s built and the budget allocated to it, they may not be the ones drawing up the plans but they ultimately control what gets built.

We’ve seen this with nearly every Disney ride built, imagineering comes up with amazing concepts, management makes cuts and we end up with shortened rides like 7 dwarfs mine train and show buildings like cosmic rewind.

The only place you see the imagineers designs actually get built as designed is in Tokyo.

Iger controlled the direction taken with “Generic Space Port Land” in DHS. And they all own “Galactic Failure”. IPCOT is all them too.

I’ve seen their work. I’ll pass. Keep it at 4 gates for now.

They control budgets. They do not 'design' or 'build' anything. Thats not their job.

Its like saying that Iger 'directed' movie X because he set a budget on it.

He could have creative influence for all mediums of company productions, but has little of those sensibilities.

The 5th gate should attract a new audience to WDW. I say a park with more thrill rides and also theming.

I don't know man, it's hard to sit here and not say Galaxy's Edge kinda evens itself out. The land as a whole is not up to what it could or should've been, but it's also got the greatest theme park attraction ever built in it so...

He had female help.

If you're trying to say Burbank doesn't have significant influence over what ultimately gets built, you'd be incorrect. IMHO. He who controls the purse and all that. WDI could design the most grand attraction ever but if they get 1/2 to 1/3 of the budget needed to build it...

 

[President Loki]

I wouldn't mind like a small park that's dedicated to Mickey Mouse and his friends, not exactly at WDW but something probably a little bigger than Universal's Dreamworks park. Maybe even a land based off of Walt and a long model train ride.

Mickey Mouse Avenue
Fairytale Kingdom
Runamuck Park
Pete's Wild West
Potato Land
Duckburg
The Backyard
Steamboat Springs

Oh she certainly did help, in so many many many ways.
