I would think they could put in smaller exhibits like those around the tree of life. Things like Spanish Linx or Ibex Goats are interesting animals, however I would anticipate anything around Europe would be largely focused on mythical animals.

Its a great idea but i mean i just dont see them adding another area/land to DAK...

I like sticking with continents.

Camp Minnie Mickey becomes North America - they keep the Adirondack theme, add a walk through that includes Grizzly Bears, Bald Eagles, Moose and Polar Bears. They also make a Bambi Dark ride that could include both real and live animals. Lion King should be moved to Africa

Europe will be on the path between Africa and Asia (perhaps as a path that leads back a ways so that it's masked by trees). This is where all of the mythical animals can take up shop, and for all intents and purposes can use many of the concepts from Beastly Kingdom

Australia can take over the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, and Dinorama, and will include exhibits with Kangaroos and Koalas.

Dinoland USA will be renamed Dinoland.

Alright Disney, you have your orders - get to it.

I wouldn't mind this at all. But I still think Beastly Kingdomme should have its own land and not be with Europe. IMHO. I love this though. What would be for South America though?

I like it! Here's mine:

Beastly Kingdom is built on the site of current CMM. Attractions ideas: a Journey to the Center of the Earth in an iconic volcano designed to mirror Everest, a trackless dark ride through an Egyptian labyrinth-temple with minotaurs and sphinxes, the "quest for the unicorn" boat ride, the Fantasia Gardens ride, a roller coaster where you try and escape from the dungeon of a fire-breathing dragon, and an "effects attraction" (a la Stitch's Great Escape, on water) where you sail into a cave and are attacked by a Kraaken (tentacles rise up, rock the boat, you see flashes of its eyes and mouth and hear its roar). By no means would I expect all of these to come to fruition... just ideas.

Everything in CMM goes, except for the Lion King. The Lion King is relocated into a new, highly themed theater under the Tree of Life, where ITTBAB used to be. More on that in a minute.

Dinoland USA becomes Dinopolis, themed to the last place on earth where dinosaurs continue to survive. Chester and Hester's Dino-Rama is replaced by a gentle Jungle Cruise-type ride, so dinosaur-loving kids too young for Dinosaur (pretty much me, 15 years ago) still get to see some. Also, outdoor AAs of different species of dinosaurs stand around the land, examining and making noises at guests using motion-detectors. The museum and dark ride can stay, rethemed to an insitute to study the surviving dinosaurs.

Because the removal of Chester and Hester's means the loss of some of the only kid-friendly attractions in the park, a clone of DCA's A Bug's Land is built to the west of Discovery Island. This has impeccably well-themed young kids' attractions, and would also be the new home of It's Tough to Be a Bug. Perhaps it could also include an insect house, featuring rare and exotic bugs.

And finally, the Discovery River boats would be restored. :D

I love this! Is the Fantasia Gardens ride the one themed to Fantasia? Lolz. I know dumb question but, wasn't it initially going to be a dark ride?

I should clarify - I had Disneyland on the brain when I wrote this. I meant Finding Nemo Musical not Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage. As for South America. North America could easily become "America" and change the theme to include South America.

I had also heard that for some reason Disney was against a South America land as something like that is pretty common for zoos. I'm not sure that it's really different than Africa or Asia, but whatever.

Yep, Fantasia Gardens was going to be a musical boat tour of the various beasts from Fantasia, including the centaurs, pegasus, and faun from Beethoven's Pastoral, and the dancing crocodiles, hippos, and ostriches from Dance of the Hours. My version would also add the forest creatures from the Nutcracker, and the sprite from the Firebird in Fantasia 2000.

I'm almost certain that this idea was finally used, in a sense, for the design of Fantasia Gardens Mini-Golf at WDW, which may prevent the fruition of this particular attraction for DAK. But I think the Greek creatures could easily be incorporated into a similar slow dark ride focused on creatures such as unicorns, and not on Fantasia.

I suspect Disney is trying to take AK in a new, more conventional theme park-oriented direction, especially due to criticism by some that the park seemed little more than an overpriced zoo... hence the "Nahtazu" campaign and the introduction of E:E.
