One Sentence Competition - Season 4 Episode 1

The Wasteland

Welcome to the Wasteland: a world torn to near destruction by nuclear warfare, and what is left of mankind is barely a shell of mankind's former glory with a sole focus on surviving rather than thriving.

This version of the Wasteland takes us into Chicago's Drake Hotel, which is currently a luxurious hotel at the end of the Magnificent Mile, but has been reinterpreted to be where some of the sane members of mankind are living in hiding.

The land is almost all indoors, and features a quick service restaurant called The Mess Hall which is hosted in the Drake's tea room (which in real life, is adjacent to the lobby) and a shop called The Stuff Shop.

To access the land's singular E-Ticket, descend the ramp into the garage beneath the hotel, where a jeep powered by literal garbage (very eco-friendly) waits to bring you to explore the nuclear wasteland that is Chicago.

In the thrilling EMV E-Ticket called Armageddon Chicago, we explore some of Chicago's most recognizable locations to try and find a new home for the citizens of Drake City, as they are running low on resources; however, most of the locations are very dangerous as Wrigley Field is being used as a gladiator tournament for savages, the shops on the Mag Mile are in chaos, and Navy Pier is overrun by a military-like faction.

Bonus One: Exorian (Exo) Darkh is the current mayor of "Drake City," and is wearing the nicest clothes (which are still tattered) of all of the survivors, which shows his elevated class which you can see when he gives you your mission in the E-Ticket.

Bonus Two: Stark Industries Workshop is a new boutique hotel where guests play the roles of CIA agents (led by Black Panther's own Moss) investigating Tony Stark for violating the Sokovia Accords.

Bonus Three: Disney's Hidden Frontier will feature immersive single-IP or no-IP lands, that are all connected via a crashed spaceship in the center. ​

Your proposals are first and foremost ideas you love! That’s a great way to play this game. A Mad Max version of Chicago would be an incredible theme park setting with the right budget and artistry. Needless to say it’s very, very, very, very not Disney, which might hurt your placement game-wise, but if we were developing an independent park without preexisting expectations then I’d totally want to see this land realized! One minor brilliant touch – Placing this land mostly indoors is really smart for Hong Kong, whose summer humidity regularly outdoes Florida’s.​

Bonus: “You are the Mayor of Drake City, you’re the A Number One!”​

Double Bonus: Iron Man was everywhere when I visited Hong Kong (likely because Iron Man Experience was their newest addition). With more Marvel coming to Tomorrowland, I can really see this working.

Groovy Bonus: +2​

Chilly Caverns
View attachment 267445​

Welcome to Chilly Caverns, a new themed area at Hong Kong Disneyland, where you enter a cave found inside of a snowy mountain, where this land will be found, kept inside to keep the climate controlled, to keep you fully immersed in this world.

There will be 1 restaurant, The Chilly Caverns Cafe, which is a restaurant inside a snow and ice filled cave with screens and animatronics showing the animals of the cavern, and 1 gift shop, the Snowy Trading Post, which is found outside of the building at the entrance from Grizzly Peak.

When visiting Chilly Caverns, you can ride the Journey through the Caverns, using the technology from Test Track, where you can board your snowmobile with 5 other guests and travel through the caverns, and go deeper and deeper exploring new caverns before the caverns start to melt and collapse on you, which is when you speed up to 50mph racing out of the caverns around the land.

Another attraction is the Arctic Mountain Falls, which is a log flume with animatronics where you join a group of explorers on an exploration through an Arctic Mountain and the Polar Bear Adventure, which is a trackless dark ride where you join Polly the Polar Bear throughout her quest to feed her family and save her cubs from predators.

This new themed area coming to Hong Kong Disneyland will sure to be a hit with guests as it takes you out of the hot climate of Hong Kong and into the chilly climate of the Arctic, with a touch of Disney.


Bonus: Polly the Polar Bear is the mother of Snowflake the Polar Bear, which is a polar bear cub that lives in the land and has his own play area “Snowflake’s Polar BEar Playground”.

Double Bonus: Hong Kong Disneyland will be receiving a value resort titled, Disney’s Grand Americas Hotel, where it is laid out similar to the All Stars and each wing is themed to a different location in the USA.

Super Ultra Mega Double Bonus: A new theme park will be opening across the Esplanade at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, titled Disney’s Enchanted Forest, which is a theme park where you can journey into various forests, like an African Forest, a Amazon Rainforest, etc.

I’m writing this after having posted reviews already, so pardon if it’s rushed!​

Climate controlled indoors land – good call. An old nixed idea for HKDL was something called Glacier Bay, which sounds similar. The upcoming Frozen land sounds similar too, making Chilly Caverns maybe a redundant addition. That’s a shame, because on its own it sound really…cool. The icy Test Track ride would be a great wintry counterpoint to DisneySea’s Journey to the Center of the Earth. A log flume would be very welcome in Hong Kong. If Frozen weren’t already coming to the park, I’d be ranking this higher because it would serve the location very well.​

Bonus: Cute.​

Double Bonus: Good.​

Extreme Bonus: +2​

 

[D Hulk]

Sweet!

Alright, so details details...let's see.

Rides:
The PUNCH!Line - This is a dark ride rollercoaster (sort of like RnR), but instead of transporting you through a back alley to get to a concert, you have to travel through back alleys of big cities and escape devious traps and near escape routes because you have to get out for the bad guys catch you!

Tours & Training:
Come and get you a first look at Jackie Chan's background history through movies and media. Also, get a glimpse of how he studied martial arts! And if you want, you can sign up for Chan Training! Suit up in your karate ge because you are about to learn some of his techniques and get to challenge some rivals! All aboard the Chan Train! Choo choo!

Shops:
Pick up your training gear, some refillable mugs, and don't forget your souvenir Jackie Pins at the Who AM I....Getting This For? store.

Jackie Chan Land! Definitely this is the most “Hong Kong” idea. This could be a big hit with locals, who are passionate about their own culture in a way they’ll never be about Disneyland. Ocean Park, Hong Kong’s mid-tier Six Flags/SeaWorld alternative, actually outperforms HKDL with ticket sales due to this, and something like Jackie Chan could help combat their appeal. The land sounds better suited for a studio park than a castle park, and it’s not especially “Disney”…but we could say the same things about Marvel, which is huge in Hong Kong.​

 

[D Hulk]

I'm actually done my project, I just wanted an excuse to post this image since I am using a different one for my actual project. I just love this picture so much.

The Muppets Lost Jungle

The entrance to the land will be found next to the train on the Adventureland side of the tracks to keep up the high Jungled area.

The Muppets Lost Jungle will be a brand new land themed around the Muppets finding a hidden temple while having a similar idea to the old proposed Muppets Studio for DHS where the Muppets try to do Disney things but mess it up in the classic Muppets way.

The first attraction that we will see the classic Muppets mistake is Raiders of the Lost Muppet (Similar to the episodes of Muppet Babies that has the same name) where a Kermit stylized Indiana Jones leads guests on an EMV adventure through the temple to look for Animal who went missing.

The second attraction in the land will be a C-ticket level show, Survive with Sam, where we see Sam the Eagle teach guests the “American” way to survive in the Jungle but is constantly interrupted by Rizzo and Pepe.

The Misty Wind Jungle Cafe will be a Quick Service located in the land selling some of the best meats money can buy while guests can also sit in the restaurant and enjoy music from Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem similar to Sonny Eclipse at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe now.

-Bonus-

The new Muppet character will be Hēng sēn (Henson) the Monkey with the story of being found in the Jungle by the Muppets; Hēng sēn will be exclusive to Hong Kong Disneyland.

-Double Bonus-

This new hotel will be themed after the Wild Wild West due to having Grizzly Gulch in view.

-Super Ultra Mega Double Bonus-

With the new land, as well as Frozen and Marvel coming, Toy Story Land is closed to make Hong Kong Disneyland’s second park a full fledge Pixar Park where theming can be done properly.​

I’m all for giving the Muppets a proper theme park presence, which I gather DHS has never truly managed. Your description – “The Muppets try to do Disney things but mess it up in the classic Muppet way” – really underlines what could make them special. From that, I almost picture a land which manages to parody the entirety of Disneyland, with hilarious Muppety versions of all the famous rides. Your land is more condensed, a Muppets Adventureland, and while I’ll now always dream of A Muppets Small World, you’ve served the Muppets well with your more specific premise. Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem done like Sonny Eclipse is my favorite touch!​

Bonus: I love the name Heng Sen. With Albert over at Mystic Manor, HKDL is getting overrun by monkeys!​

Double Bonus: Very smart to connect your hotel with the nearest land, even though (if memory serves) the jungle trees completely block park views from the hotel area.

Turbo Bonus: +2​

Latin Coast

​

(I, II, III)
Over the last decade and into the next, Hong Kong Disneyland has seen a variety of expansions to try to increase both the options and the attendance to the quaint theme park, however recent trends in the dwindling mainland Chinese attendance (originally half of the annual guests), is a sign that the park not only needs to stand out from the highly attended Shanghai Disneyland, but also needs expansions to coax more mainland guests to visit the Resort as a whole, through popular Chinese Box Office IP lands of Frozen and Marvel, as well as the mixed IP/original land of Latin Coast.

Flanked off of Adventureland and Grizzly Gulch, Latin Coast is inspired by the scenic villages of Latin America including Santa Cecelia and San Sebastian Bernal, as well as the Caribbean Islands (used as a transition from Adventureland), featuring two signature attractions, that being a hybrid of Pirates of the Caribbean and Splash Mountain (two missing classic attractions in Hong Kong Disneyland), the 120 ft tall Montaña Antigua, "Ancient Mountain" (1), an E-Ticket flume ride through an audio-animatronic array of Aztec mythology, as you flow through cursed waters culminating in a soaring splashdown led by the anthropomorphic Carlita the Coati, as well as a Coco C-Ticket dark ride The World Es Mi Familia (2) following Miguel's adventures on the Day of the Dead celebration to unite his family.

Moreover, the popular mainland Chinese Box-Office IP of Pirates of the Caribbean, finally gets a permanent location in Hong Kong Disneyland, but rather than try to compete with the Battle for the Sunken Treasure attraction in Shanghai, or clone a previous Pirates attraction, Latin Coast will offer The Brethren Court (3), a 25 minute stage production inside the Fuerte Port Royal featuring a meeting of the Pirate Lords including Sao Feng (in the film, played by Hong Kong actor, Chow Yun-fat). as well as the completely visceral Jack Sparrow: Hunt for the Captain's Gold (4), a walking-trail pirate scavenger hunt through the Fuerte.

Latin Coast also features several restaurants and shops in the central hub of the land called Plaza de La Armonía, including El Restaurante del Mito y La Leyenda (A) "Myth and Legends Restaurant" surrounded by ancient Aztec structures and monuments inspired by those found in Santa Cecelia, while across the path lies the counter-service restaurant Amigos (B) that serves authentic Latin American dishes of spices, chicken, rice, fish, and more, as well as Treasure Cove (C), which is a small quick service bar/dessert station near the entrance to the Fuerte Port Royal, serving unique pirate pastry items and drinks, with the shops of Plaza de Mercado (D), Arte Azteca (E), and Remember Me (F) selling custom Latin Coast merchandise, Ancient Mountain merchandise, and Coco merchandise respectfully.

Overall, Latin Coast combines some of the most lucrative mainland Chinese Box-Office franchises of Coco ($189,226,296) and Pirates of the Caribbean (Pirates 5: $172,277,290) to entice new mainland guests, with the goal of increasing attendance, as well as providing an original land and E-ticket attraction that is both unique like Mystic Manor, and that combines classic attraction styles of Pirates/Splash similar to how Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars combines Everest/Big Thunder styles, in order to entice more international guests to make the journey to Hong Kong Disneyland.

(IV) Bonus #1:
Carlita the Coati, is a unique animal native to Mexico and her mischievous ambition as you journey up her village's mountain causes the ride to take a turn into cursed waters and the thrills that await

(V) Bonus #2:
Disney/Pixar Animation Resort will be a 'value/economic' resort option for Hong Kong Disneyland guests, offering themed buildings to classic Pixar films of Cars, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, and more.

(VI) Bonus #3:
Disney's Discovery Expo Theme Park will be a spin on 'WestCOT' and 'EPCOT Center' celebrating advancements in technology in economics, commerce, and industry, located in one of the financial hubs of the world (Hong Kong).

Your well-presented reasoning behind this land is impeccable, especially regarding how HKDL needs to compete with Shanghai Disneyland. My approach to this challenge would’ve been creating a one-of-a-kind Pirates unlike Shanghai’s. You’ve done that, while also redoing Splash, all with a pleasantly unexpected Latin setting which would probably be very appealing and exotic in Hong Kong. (And with Macau nearby, you could play up the Portuguese influences!) Every ride, shop and detail is presented expertly, and the drawing is a great extra touch. Of course as a judge I’m legally required to nitpick, so…Coco and Jack Sparrow together seems a bit much.​

Bonus: I love the drawing of Carlita.​

Double Bonus: Value resorts have their place (they’re the Toy Story Land of hotels).

Gnarly Bonus: +2​

World of Cartoons (漫画世界/Mànhuà shìjiè)

"Welcome, one and all, to the World of Cartoons! Here, guests of Hong Kong Disneyland can live some of their favorite Disney cartoons, such as Plane Crazy, Steamboat Willy, and the Skeleton Dance. Here today is a great overview of our land, one that will prosper, that will grow, that will make guests imagine... and believe anything is real, and anybody can be met. Thank you, and welcome!"
- Bob Iger, accompanied by DisneyForever

The World of Cartoons is the next land to join Hong Kong Disneyland, and to make it become better; in the land are 4 rides, an E-Ticket, 2 C-Tickets, and 1 A-Ticket; the land also has multiple shops, and one special restaurant, more on that later though.

Our first ride is our E-Ticket, Mickey's Great Cartoon Escape!; in this attraction, guests will be seated in their Toot Toot Trolley, and will tool around famous original Mickey cartoons such as The Band Concert, Mickey's Trailer, Clock Cleaners, Plane Crazy, and the finale that is Steamboat Willie; in this attraction, Mickey is shown as what he looked like in the 20s-early 1940s, to make it more realistic; the attraction immerses you more thanks to the so-called "2 1/2-D", and audio-animatronics.

Our next ride, or should I say two rides, are the C-Tickets, Silly Symphonies Presents: The Skeleton Dance, and Silly Symphonies Presents: Egyptian Melodies, which will both be dark rides adjacent to one another; in each, there will be animatronics, an "alive" walls to present to you a great thematic symphony that will sure tug the hearts of some, because of its value.

Our last ride is the A-Ticket Toon Trolley, that will transport guests from the front to the back and vice versa; the trolleys will look very toon-like, with colors on them, and wonky shapes; don't worry, these trolleys are safe to ride on; also, periodically, some famous visitors might step on board for a stroll.

There will be multiple shops strewn about the World of Cartoons, including ones that depict today's Mickey cartoons and Disney Animation movies; that restaurant we lightly touched on above will be called Steamboat Willie's Steamboat Cafe, where guests can actually eat inside of a large steamboat sitting upon a man-made mini-river; the food will be cheap yet delicious, and at night, there will be special foods that make the restaurant up-scale; welp, that's all for now folks, thank you for letting me tour you around the World of Cartoons.

Bonus:
Our furry yet friendly mascot of the land is Ricartoo (seriously, is anybody getting it?) the Hamster; sometimes throughout the day, he'll be out greeting guests with his warm smile that almost everybody will love.

Double Bonus:
The next hotel for Hong Kong Disneyland Resort will focus on Chinese culture, and be named The Ancient Zodiac Resort And Spa (古代十二生肖度假村和溫泉/Gǔdài shí'èr shēngxiào dùjiàcūn hé wēnquán)

Super Ultra Mega Double Bonus:
Hong Kong Disneyland's second gate will be called Disney's EarthBorn, which will focus on different countries, 12 to be exact (America, China, Japan, the UK, France, Spain, Russia, Canada, India, Norway, Germany, and Brazil); the park's main land, or entrance land, will be called Gateway to the World; lastly, this park will boast an amazing number of attractions, shops and restaurants.

Thank you to @D Hindley for hosting this great competition.

​

That’s very generous of you, letting Bob Iger give the dedication speech. ​

World of Cartoons is undoubtedly a variation on Toon Town, and an improvement on it with two decades of artistic and technological growth. It certainly has more content, with 3 of the rides qualifying as dark rides. Doing two C-ticket dark rides is especially welcome, as HKDL’s Fantasyland is shockingly bereft of this ride type, featuring only Winnie the Pooh. Please help me understand what “alive” walls are. If the DHS Mickey ride proves as spectacular as we’re all expecting, Mickey’s Great Cartoon Escape will be a showstopper as well. My favorite thing is how you’ve tied the land into so many Silly Symphonies, which really helps World of Cartoons stand out from Toon Town.​

Bonus: Ummmm…I’m embarrassed to say I don’t get the name.​

Double Bonus: A hotel based on Chinese culture will nicely complement the British-style HDKL Hotel. I’m picturing suites themed to the 12 different zodiac animals.

Mondo Bonus: +2​

The Realm of Imagination

View attachment 267432

The Realm of Imagination will be a new land coming to Hong Kong Disneyland; Loosley based on the Figment comics/mythology, this land will take guests into the wonderful and crazy world of imagination.

Visually, this land will feel like a mix of Pandora (The Animal Kingdom version), Oz (the Sam Raimi version), and Wonderland (any version really) as impossible sights are brought to life in grand fashion such as a mountain made of rainbow colored crystals (with walk through caverns), a lake shaped like an eye, trees that talk, jumping fountain, paths that make music when you step in the right spots, and more!

From the Grizzly Peak side, guest will enter through the Cavern of Illusion (a short cave full of optical illusions and unusual sights) and from the Adventureland side guests will weave through some trees to find the Imagination Institute (A more fantasy version of the one found in Epcot that houses a few attractions as well as the entrance to the land)

Attractions include Figment's Fantastic Flight into Imagination (A large scale suspended E-Ticket Dark Ride with Figment and the Dreamfinder as imagined in Round 5 of this very competition that is sadly coming to a close), the What If? Labs (An interactive play area focused on doing amazing things real science like a small children's science museum), Prof. Kongbuh's Tower of Terror (A new version of Tower of Terror where a rival of the Dreamfinder (Prof. Kongbuh whose name is a play on the phonetic spelling of the Chinese word for terror) traps guests in his crazy steampunk lab to try to extract our fear to create an army of nightmares), Mind's Eye Lake Explorer Canoes (guided tours around the lake while your guide tells stories and jokes), and the Wandering Mind's Walking Trail (A walk through gardens full of topiaries and various simple effects/animatronics, this attraction will eventually be demolished for a third large attraction).

Guests can purchase general merchandise themed to Figment and the land at the Collection of the Unknown gift shop, buy villain themed or Tower of Terror merchandise at the Nightmare Boutique at the exit to the tower, eat creative and visually interesting meals (such as rainbow colored mac & cheese) at the Imagine Eats QSR, and dine upscale yet still inventive and delicious meals in the upstairs of the Imagination Institute in the Glass Pyramid TSR.

-Bonus-

Prof. Kongbuh has an imaginary friend (like how the Dreamfinder has Figment) who is an adorable, evil, mischievous furry, red-orange dragon named Lu (Short for deLUsion, a synonym for figment with negative connotations).

-Double Bonus-

The Grand Wakandan Hotel will allow guests to enjoy a night in a hotel built and run by the Wakandan government to give guests a taste of what life is like in Black Panther's homeland.

-Super Ultra Mega Double Bonus-

View attachment 267437

Disney's Grand Adventures Park will be a new park dedicated to daring, exotic lands and exciting, action packed journeys focused on interactive games and scavenger hunts that encourage guest to explore the park themselves and create their own grand adventures (and plenty of thrill ride for older guests who prefer to focus on the action).​

Figment’s Flight from round 5 is possibly my single favorite idea from this entire competition, so you’re well-positioned returning to it. Hong Kong Disneyland is especially playful and lighthearted (even for a castle park), and Dreamfinder’s land fits their distinctive quirky small-scale style quite well. I’m a sucker for all the concrete surreal imagery strewn about; no other land would be quite like this. Thanks a ton for providing the map. For one, it shows the effort you put into this, and it also shows the Mind’s Eye Lake is the size of a carousel…a little tiny for a whole canoe explorer attraction. The Tower of Terror (nice retheme) would be visible from Grizzle Gulch, Adventureland, and likely a great many other places. How would blend into the various outside lands?​

Bonus: I like Lu, Pi.​

Double Bonus: I was hoping to see a Wakanda land (though I realize the original character bonus might’ve prevented that). This is a nice consolation!

Tubular Bonus: +2​

Game Central Station

View attachment 267438

With Wreck-it Ralph 2 coming out this fall, Hong Kong Disney is excited to present you with Game Central Station, a brand new immersive world into the life of video games.

Main attractions will include: Sugar Rush, an E-ticket indoor racing ride will be set in the style of Test track meets Radiator Springs Racers where guest will make there own candy car exactly like in the movie, and then race to the finish line against other guests, after a test lap in Vanillope's cave of course and Fix-It Felix, simulator drop tower where the screens inside each floor will show us the story of Ralph wrecking the hotel to send us falling and Felix raising us up by fixing each level.

In an update of the land, there will be ElecTRONica, a nighttime dance party that allows guest to step into the GRID and show off their moves, returning from its run at California Adventure, and Keyblade Adventures: A trip Through Worlds, a Star Tours style Kingdom Hearts ride (as seen in Round 10 of this competition) both which are set to open with the release of Kingdom Hearts 3 (whenever that is...)

There will also be the CyBug Cyber Cafe, that will house old school arcade games as well as demos for any and all Disney video games coming out soon and Sweet Treats Bakery that will sell all the candy and pastries your heart desires (and your parents dread) including a mini replica of the cake made for Wreck It Ralph's 30th gameaversery.

Bonus: A brand new interactive animatronic named Xyba (A B X and Y being the normal buttons on a game control) will roll around and try and get kids to play with him.

Double Bonus: The Nicelanders Hotel will let you stay in the very hotel Ralph destroys every day.

Triple Bonus: The new park will showcase Disney Through the Ages as you move from land to land, time period to time period.​

Under the gun once again! An appropriate choice, with the Ralph sequel trailer dropping today. Game Central Station would be a grand immersive land, probably all indoors too which with Hong Kong’s weather I think would be a good move. Doing Sugar Rush with Test Track tech is a natural idea, as are the other attractions, shops and eateries. Video gaming is a broad theme, easy to update in the future. The land feels a little out-of-place no HKDL’s west side amidst Grizzly Gulch and Adventureland; it’s more of a Tomorrowland-adjacent idea really.​

Bonus: Original and wonderful creation!​

Double Bonus: Nice. Way to stick with your land’s theme!

Radical, Bodacious, Non-Heinous Bonus: +2​

They’ve each been passionately planning this episode since the start of 2018, so it’s certain to be another fantastic competition!

We’ve just traveled around the calendar. Now get ready to go “Around the World!”​

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT​

The final round of this One Sentence Competition included a bonus where players proposed second gate ideas for Hong Kong. Well…they thought these were for Hong Kong. In truth, these are now all proposals for this year’s Club 32. That’s a group freelance brainstorming project planned to take place alongside Sorcerer’s Apprentice, and wholly endorsed by the hosts. Tentatively, let’s assume these are ideas for the second gate at Sydney Disneyland Resort, last year’s creation.​

Anyway, we need your help! Which theme park idea would you like to see developed in Club 32? Please vote in this thread’s poll. Here are the park ideas, as created by our wonderful competitors:​

WESTCOT
The second park's theme will be Westcot. Exactly the same as the planned westcot.​

HONG KONG DISNEYEARTH
Behold, half a dozen ecosystems from "The Tundra" (artic) to "The Deep" (ocean) transport you to what makes our planet beautiful, and you, the test subjects, for education and experimentation will be in different environments with state-of-the-art technology; taking place from the year 2,100 and beyond, this epic 'facility' was built to celebrate the world being 100% green and is made with peace by all the countries in the world for the world.

DISNEY’S HIDDEN FRONTIER
Disney's Hidden Frontier will feature immersive single-IP or no-IP lands, that are all connected via a crashed spaceship in the center.​

PIXAR PARK
With the new land, as well as Frozen and Marvel coming, Toy Story Land is closed to make Hong Kong Disneyland’s second park a full fledge Pixar Park where theming can be done properly.​

DISNEY’S DISCOVERY EXPO THEME PARK
Disney's Discovery Expo Theme Park will be a spin on 'WestCOT' and 'EPCOT Center' celebrating advancements in technology in economics, commerce, and industry, located in one of the financial hubs of the world (Hong Kong).​

DISNEY’S EARTHBORN
Hong Kong Disneyland's second gate will be called Disney's EarthBorn, which will focus on different countries, 12 to be exact (America, China, Japan, the UK, France, Spain, Russia, Canada, India, Norway, Germany, and Brazil); the park's main land, or entrance land, will be called Gateway to the World; lastly, this park will boast an amazing number of attractions, shops and restaurants.​

DISNEY’S GRAND ADVENTURES PARK
Disney's Grand Adventures Park will be a new park dedicated to daring, exotic lands and exciting, action packed journeys focused on interactive games and scavenger hunts that encourage guest to explore the park themselves and create their own grand adventures (and plenty of thrill ride for older guests who prefer to focus on the action).​

DISNEY’S ENCHANTED FOREST
A new theme park will be opening across the Esplanade at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, titled Disney’s Enchanted Forest, which is a theme park where you can journey into various forests, like an African Forest, a Amazon Rainforest, etc.​

Hey @D Hindley Is there anyway my bonus (Disney Through The Ages) can be removed...? It was actually an idea I had for a personal park I am already in the middle of planning that I was going to start posting once SYWTBAI is over...

Of course. It's been removed from the announcement post. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to remove it from the poll, so we'll just have to ignore any votes it receives.

Looking forward to seeing how you develop the idea on your own . You've been a wonderful fresh face in this competition and elsewhere!
