Master of the Parks - Final Challenge

Congratulations on our top two contestants! This round of Master of the Parks will be the most "free" round yet. No specifics requirements must be met... It's all up to you!

Your job is to create a 5th gate for Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The location is completely up to you, as long as it is actually in Walt Disney World Resort. The park's theme is also up for you to decide, as well as all of the lands and the specific attractions.

Rules

There are two rules:

1. Use your own concept. Don't go making a Dark Kingdom where people have already thought of everything they want to be in it... Just be original!

2. You're allotted 15 pictures.

The deadline is January 3rd, so get busy!

*cough cough* Epcot (creative criticism)
Click to expand...
I have heard that, but Epcot's World Showcase is more about what once thriving civilizations still look like. For example, Lee's idea of walking through RUINS of the Coloseum in Italy. Disney's Adventure Empire will bring into these eras of time as they are thriving, so you can experience the Pax Romana or the English Renaisance.

I am trying...we will see. It is hard coming up for fun, but educational attractions. Some pretty cool ones though. LotR is a pretty big land and I've only seen the first movie and a little bit of the others and I'm trying to get a feel for it. It will be tough...

DISNEY'S ADVENTURE EMPIRE

Here goes nothing. I will start with the first phase of the park (the main area) that will open on April 15, 2018 (Leonardo Da Vinci's Birthday).

DISNEY'S ADVENTURE EMPIRE

The entrance to the park would be through the The [Mesopotamian] City-State.
Slide2-1_zps25ac161d.jpg

Like a real Sumerian Village, this entrance area will be surrounded by a city wall. After entering through the turnstiles (or in future cases, RFID readers), guests will pass through gates in these walls. Along this area will be luscious vegetation and many quaint Mesopotamian buildings housing things such as; a tour of an upper-class home, a lower class home, a Mesopotamian museum, and other shops and experiences. Near the end of this area would be a statue of the Mesopotamian leader, Hammurabi, standing behind an inscription of his code of law. The weenie of this area would be the ziggurat at the end of the way. This will house a boat station for the "Boat Through the Ages" attraction that would make stops in most lands around the park. To exit this fantastic area, guests will again pass through gates and over rivers (which represent the Tigris and the Euphrates, on either side of Mesopotamia) into either Athens or Egypt. You could also take the boat.

Conqueror's Island and the Sea of Life
Slide3_zpsc20a6385.jpg

Map

The Sea of Life would be the main water feature of the park, featured right in the center. Rivers and tributaries flow from it, connecting the many lands. In the center of the "sea" will be Conqueror's Island, featuring Imperium Mountain (looks like mountain from Tokyo DisneySea) as the park's weenie. Through out the day and night, the mountain will "erupt".
Slide4_zps783ccbe3.jpg

The view from the park entrance with the ziggurat.

ATTRACTIONS
1. Journey to the Center of the Earth - This ride would be very much the same as the ride in Tokyo DisneySea except for some subtle changes with references to Leonardo Da Vinci and his inventions as well as mor Verne references. (See video at bottom of post)
2. The Boat Throught the Ages - The boat will make a stop at a dock on the island that is themed to a small, ancient jungle temple. This would be the last stop on the boat ride.

DINING
1. The Conqueror's/Adventurer's Club - If the Adventurer's Club never reopens,I would relocate it here. If it does I would make a partner RESTAURANT called The Conqueror's Club. It would be a family friendly, table service restaurant but would still have fun little shows and detail like it's partner club.

OTHER
There would be a small gift shop on the island also. Whenever you look at one of ny maps, the little cart things are merchandise or food carts. Also, the little circular things are usually little shrines and temples or, if they have a water squiggle in them, they are fountains.

Also, the island could be accessed by raised bridges over the "sea" from Athens or The Queen's Kingdom.

I will now go clockwise from the bottom left corner of the park.

Map

Athens
This section represents ancient Greece.
ATTRACTIONS
1. The Acropolis - This fantastic acropolis (center hill) of Athens, topped by a faux Partenon, will house two attractions.
a. The Greek Exploration - This would by a family boat ride (flooded like Small World) through the city of Athens as you venture through scenes such as the Olympic Games, a sacrifice and a volcanic eruption (though not historically accurate, it would add adventure to the ride). The plot of the ride would be about you escaping the city in your boat as a volcano is about to destroy the city. Rather than sail away, you sail towards the volcano and watch as Poseidon cools the lava before it hits the town. Next you would go up a hill through a cave in the hill and come out from the Parthenon into an amazing and majestic panorama (city of the future?) of Athens. Fantastical music would play in the background as you slowly ride back down to the bottom of the acropolis.
b. Warrior Life - This would be a 360* show about how a warrior is trained and how they live. It follows one warrior from the time he is a boy and he is taken to train to the time he dies in battle.
2. The Oracle's Prophecy - This would be a crazy and mystical roller coaster, featuring effects such as mist, fog, green and purple strobe lights, and speakers of an eerie voice reading deadly prophecies. This ride would be most enticing at night in it's wooded area. You would be able to see some supports but not like Dragon Challenge.
3. The Navy Yard - On either side of the land there will be a navy yard where you can tour the Greeks' ancient triremes.
4. The Olympic Games - These little areas would have fun, interactive play areas where kids and their parents can learn to compete in the original Olympic Games (discus, running, "chariot racing", etc.)
5. The Boat Through the Ages - Another stop for the park transportation system.

OTHER
1. The Olive Tree - A restaurant inside the acropolis where you can buy classic Greek food.
2. The Agora - In ancient Greece, this was the marketplace, so here it is a group of well themed shopping carts to buy themed merchandise at.
3. The Olive Field - An area full of olive trees that will be beautiful to walk around.

Map

Rome
This area represents the ancient capital of the Roman Empire.
ATTRACTIONS
1. The Eternal City - This would be an Omnimover ride that would take you through the city of Rome. The real majesty of this ride will be it's show building. Yes, it's show building. This building willbe disguised as Coloseum of Rome when it was fully intact. In this ride you would go through many of the high and low points of Rome's history, such as; most of the Pax Romana, the descendants of them, the stabbing of Julius Caesar, the conversion to Christianity, and the fall to the Barbarians. One big scene at the climax would be a Roman battle.
2. The Forum - This would be another 360* movie featuring footage of the Roman Senate and their discussions about the city's problems, whilst showing these things on the screens.
3. Mount Olympus: Meet the Gods - Notice on the map that this "mythical" mountain is settled nearly right in between Rome and Greece. This means that one day, the Gods you meet will go by their Greek names, while the next they will go by their Roman ones.
4. Tour a Domus - Take a tour of a Roman upper-class home.
5. Meet the Emperor - Meet the likes of Julius Caesar or Octavian.
6. Be A Gladiator - Similar to the Olympic Games, you can "train" to be a gladiator.
7. The Boat Through the Ages

DINING
1. Senate's Feast - A restaurant seemingly themed to where the Senate would feast. Ignoring the map, this could be a round building and you sit in the forum and eat while an ancient show is performed on the floor in the center of the room.
2. The Roman Banquet Hall - A Roman Banquet Hall thematically fit for an emperor.

OTHER
The Blacksmith Shop - A gift shop featuring themed merchandise such as togas and olive branches for behind your ears.

Map

The Queen's Kingdom
This area represents the REAL English Renaissance. This whole area will be full of trees.
ATTRACTIONS
1. Mary Bloody Mary - This would be another crazy coaster like Oracle's Prophecy, but this one would create the story and feeling that you are about to be executed. At the top of the first lift hill will be a guillotine with an old fashioned clock (timer) next to it counting down. When the guests hit the top of the hill the timer hits zero and your train shoots down the hill as the guillotine falls behind you (this represents your beheading). After that it is fast and crazy to show you going through death and Mary's angry and sinful ways.
2. Her Majesty's Merryments - This would be an Omnimover ride through the English Renaissance. There would be many scenes depicting things such as the crowning of the queen, the beheading of Queen Mary, or the English theater. This ride be more educational than others.
3. The English Art Museum - This place would showcase the best of Renaissance art.
4. The Ultimate Joust for the Queen's Hand - This would be a daily show, performed twice in the afternoon, that would feature stunt performers actually jousting. The building in the back provides some explosions and extra battle ground as the Spaniards arrive and a battle ensues. In the end, the man the Queen was going to marry had died in the battle leaving the other to marry her and comfort her.
5. Tour a Chateau
6. The Globe Theater - Step inside to see Disney interpretations of English theater classics.
7. Mudbegging - A show about the muddbeggers who live on the riverbeds.
8. A multi-purpose stage - Shows such as alchemy, hypnotism and jestering will be performed on this outdoor stage.
9. Music of the Renaissance - a small caroling group performs on this outdoor stage with a beautiful planted seating area.
10. Meeting the People of the Shire - meet the sheriff, the queen, and some kith ts in this gazebo.
11. Pyrate Ship - tour an ancient English pirate ship.
12. Battle of the Seas - This will be a sort of stunt show with a boat on either side of a lagoon with pirates swinging back and forth in an awesome battle.
13. The Boat Through the Ages

DINING
1. Royal Banquet Hall - Feast in the same room as the English queen and her lords and ladies.

SHOPPING
1. The Gypsy Wand Shop - Get wizard readings and let them tell you which wizardly wand would be right for you.
