No 20K for AK?

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.

All of it sounds amazing, but if anything, I want the bolded to happen. As much as I love ITTBAB, I hate the location. Something grand should be in the ToL, something that encompasses the park's theme. A Spaceship Earth for Animals.:lookaroun:lol: A nice film would really work there.

Here, I'm gonna introduce a card system: I'm giving you five "Get It Cards", and I'll take one away every time you don't "get it"...So you're starting out at 4...I'll give one back everytime you "get" something.

lol: )

Anyways, they tried all that stuff. The base of Tree of Life saw more shows than Broadway, but none of them worked.

The genius of Tough To Be a Bug, is that isn't a blanket generic mission statement attraction, it's actually something that tells the story of the entire park in something that seems like trivial entertainment. It's not. The show encapsulates the theme of the park (Humans love of Animals), at it's smallest and most strained of relationships. We get the creeps from these things-and most every day we end up killing at least one. Against those horrible odds, they still survive. And better yet, even though WE are their biggest enemy, WE have a newfound appreciation for them- In their beauty and the knowledge we have obtained on the services they provide to the world. We may not be best buddies, but we humans literally couldn't live without them. It's classic- To capture the feeling and emotion behind the Animal Kingdom story-We don't need to look at a grand travelouge and slide show of beautiful animals. No, that emotion is better captured by looking at your backyard with your Magnifying glass (Not in the sun though...) and giving a few minutes to think about how it's "Tough to be a Bug."

That's the quality of Humans love of Animals that the entire park is about, and I wouldn't change the placement of the show in a million years. It's part of why Animal Kingdom is such a special park.

Lol, never thought a show about a Pixar film would be that deep.

Anyways, If anything, 20k should be rethemed to a Kraken related ride in a mythical land.

EDIT: Also

If that were to happen, the whole point of Dinosaur would be broken. What would be the point in going back in time to get a dinosaur when there's a bunch outside? :lookaroun

I knew all of this. Honestly.:lol::wave: I actually like the placement and the attraction for that reason too....but in the icon....I just find the need for something a little more GRAND and inspiring, eh?


Put ITTBAB in The Oasis or something....it would still be a intro there.

Lol, never thought a show about a Pixar film would be that deep.

Up, Wall-E, Ratatouille, a bug's life, Nemo all have very deep meanings... too bad only two of those are showcased :/

Well to get the species that wasn't in Dinopolis, of course!
