New Magic Kingdom

[meeko_33785]

I've seen a lot of posts here recently about Disney Resort areas and realized I had never postsed mine. I have not location set for it, but most likely it would be international, if anywhere. So far I have the Magic Kingdom, Disney-MGM Studios, Disney's Storybook Kingdom (the one park I have posted), and am working on an EPCOT/ Disney Sea style park currently called "Wonders of the World". I'll start with MK.

Main Street U.S.A:
Main Street will be similar to the one at WDW, but with a somewhat different syle (a little more stylized and less New England). Here are the attractions in the area:

* Magic Kingdom Railroad (Steem train ride around the park, includes stops at Frontierland and Mickey's Toontown).
* Main Street Vehicals (Standard trollies, jinties, and other forms of transportation usually found on Main Streets)
* Main Street Gallery (Features different exhibits showcasing artwork and artifacts of Disney's past that change throughout the year)
* Main Street Gazette (Glorified photo pick up and exhibits based on Main Street's newspaper office. Expect to see reporters in here looking for the daily scoop on Main Street)

Adventureland:
Adventureland is a collection of many different advenures from around the world. Guests encounter an Arabian Bazaar, a Polynessian Village, an African Safari Lodge, and Caribbean Fort. Here are some attractions:

* Magic Carpets of Aladdin (Similar to the one at WDW or DSP, but with slightly different theming placing the atraction into Courtyard enclosed on three sides)
* Swiss Family Treehouse (A probable addition, but not definate. Looking for something a little more disabled-visitor-friendly)
* Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Managment (Same version as WDW)
* Jungle Cruise (New Version of the classic ride with some different show scenes including encountering an archelogical dig site in an Asian Temple and missing others such as the headhunters)
* Prideland Safaris (Lion King attraction I have already posted on this board. Try searching for it you want to know more)
* Pirates of the Caribbean (Similar to the WDW version)

Frontierland:
Like Adventureland, Frontierland is a hodge-podge of themes based on the American Journey.
* Big Thunder Mountain
* Splash Mountain
* Country Bear Jambory
* Slue Foot Sue's Musical Review (Lively dance hall show starting the girlfrind of ledgenday cowboy Pecos Bill, a gaggle of dancing girls, a couple of rowdy cowboys, and the self-proclaimed "world's greatest salesman")
* Pocahontas Island (Similar to Tom Sawyer's Island, this play area recreates 17th Century Jamestown, Virginia and includes a fort, Indian Village, Enchanted Glade play area, and caves to explore)

New Orleans Square:
Romantisized version of "the big easy".
* Haunted Mansion
* Great Moments with Mr. Lincon
* Dixie Belle River Boat

Fantasyland:
A charming French Village based on the one from the classic film "Cinderella" is the land for the young and young at heart.
* Peter Pan's Flight
* Sleeping Beauty dark ride
* Mickey's Philharmagic
* Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
* Fantasia: A Musical Journey (dark boat ride simialr to It's A Small World)
* Storybookland Cannal Boats and Casey Jr. Circus Train
* Cinderella's Golden Carousel
* Mad Tea Party
* Dumbo the Flying Elephant
* Cinderella's Suprise Celebration

Mickey's Toontown:
This land is similar in scale to DL's version with less of a Roger Rabbit theme.
* Mickey's House
* Minnie's House
* Goofy's Wiseacre Farm
* Donald's Boat
* Chip and Dale's Treehouse
* Gadget's Go-Caoster
* Toontown Hall of Fame

Tomorrowland:
Sci-Fi themed land based on a city of the Future
* Space Mountain
* Sticth Encounter (Simialr to Alien Encounter at MK)
* Tomorrowland Convention Center (Interactive Exhibits)
* Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin
* Astro Orbiter
* Autopia (The "highway of the future", which includes more theming than most other versions)
* TIme Machine Attraction (CAVE technology attraction similar to PoC at DisneyQuest which lets guests command their own time machine

Also icludes two parades, the Magic Kingdom Memories Parade (day time parade), Main Street Electrical Parade (night parade), and a new veriosn of Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks.

Any thought, ideas, or sugestions?

Sounds pretty cool, and well thought out also. The only thing that turned me off was the New Management version of the Tiki room. They tore that show up so bad. Other than that it sound real good.

 

[meeko_33785]

Thanks for your thoughts. I have to disagree about the Tiki Room. I really enjoy the new version so that's the reason I put that show in. Any other thoughts or sugestions?

 

[thedream86]

No. Actually I think you've got things pretty well coverd. I'd love to see scetches for this if you have them. Also I'm currently in rolled in a number of CAD classes and if you'ed like I would be more than happy to do some 3D renderings for you. I also realy like the Indian island, that has limmitless posabilitys.

P.S. Are there going to be any hotels?

Why don't you just not have the Tiki room at all? Add a new attraction.

This seems to have gotten lost in a sea of bumps. Anyone else have any thoughts of sugestions?

 

[FigmentDream]

Sounds preety good, here a few sugestions

-Get rid of New Orleans sqaure and replace it with a defferntly themed one, 1) Great Moments with Mr. Lincooln does not fit at all with the theme, 2) you did not put PoC there and therefore 30 it is just acting as a place holder essentially for the HM which could fit in many other themed areas. I would suggest either Americana Square and keep everythign as is (change Dixix boat to SS Liberty and make the HM delware-esc) or do like London Square move GMwML to Main Street, re-name the Dixie Boat as the Thames River Boat and add in a Sherlock Holms attraction and make the HM all gothic looking.


-After that I woudl say if you like The Tiki Room: Under New Managmnet at least try to re-fine it a bit, I think the concpet is okay but I think the current execution at WDW is just awful.

my thoughts...

i think lincoln belongs on main street, or perhaps even the entire hall of presidents.

pirates would be great if it combined the queue of the WDW version with the ride layout of the DL one.

i think the tree house would be best if it was designed from the ground up as a kids playground instead of a walk-through.

i personally like tom sawyer island as is. a colonial america/jamestown version would fit in better if the liberty square concept was included in the MK too.

fantasyland needs the classic ride-through attractions like small world, and snow white. it would be nice to have one fantasyland with all of the dark rides...snow white, pinocchio, alice, peter pan, and toad. sleeping beauty would be a cool addition.

very interesting stuff! it would be cool to build a modern MK from the ground up.

i also think it's telling that most all of the changes are minor and might only involve swapping one version of something for another. or adding good ideas from one park to another. i think that shows that the disney parks aren't broken, there are just a few "would be nice" kind of changes.

Sounds pretty cool, for the most part. I think it is too much of a copy of WDW though with New Orleans Sqaure and some new things added. Change the name of some of the rides at least and thier storyline. WHERE THE HECK IS "IT'S A SMALL WORLD"?!?!?!?!?!? If you don't have that ride the whole park is ruined. A "Disney" park is not a "Disney" park without its a small world!!!!!

Even though it has the most annoying theme song in the world, a park cannot be complete without "it's a small world."

5 words: Put Western River in Frointeirland.

 

[meeko_33785]

I had planned to pu "Small Wold" in a different park from MK since i doesn't exactly fit into Fantasylan well (IMO). It's in the plans for the World of Wonders Park I metioned earlier. The Snow White ride is missing because ther will be a much more elaborate version of the attraction at the Storybook Kingdom Park. As for New Orleans Square, you may be right. A new themed area might work better, but I'm not sure what. The London idea doesn't fit at all since it would be on the Rivers of America, but maybe another American city would work. Any ideas?

 

[FigmentDream]

Why does it necessarily have to be the Rivers of America?

Maybe there could be an inlet of the rivers that would be London Bay or other altercations could be made, all I am saying is don't throw out a concept because a small element does not work, you could make it fit if you really wanted it too.

The Americana concept would certainly still work

If you want another city how about Baltimore Square, HM could easily stay and the whole area could be more gothic including some sort of an Edgar Alan Poe themed ride to complement HM, the ride could take you through the most terrifying of Poe's Tales either in AA show form or another possibly more interactive dark ride. The river boat could still obviously stay and a variety of names would still work......
