This is the second draft of my Disney Theme Park proposal. In Draft #2, I am trying to give this park a few more original attractions. If it seems to similar, remember that the vast majority of attractions at each Disney park are basically the same. You will see several brand new ideas, plus a revision of the MK's Land sections. Before we get to that, I have a poll with this post.
I'm trying to decide which castle to use. My first choice by far is Cinderella's Castle, but I'm wondering it if is too similar to the castle at WDW. So far, 2 parks have Cinderella's Castle (WDW in Orlando & Tokyo), and 3 parks have/will have Sleeping Beauty's castle (DL Anaheim, Paris, and upon opening, Hong Kong). Oddly enough, each SB castle is different (DL Paris has a completely different design from Anaheim, whereas HK's park will be a larger and more elaborate verison of the Anaheim castle); OTOH, Cinderella's castles at WDW and in Tokyo are identical. I thought about Snow White's and Beauty and the Beast; but upon the castles in the cartoons, they don't appear to fit in too well. For instance, Snow White's castle is much plainer (set in an earlier time period that Cinerella or B&TB) and has a rather odd shape to it (perhaps the reason it was never used in Disney parks), and Beauty & the Beast's castle looks more like a Main Street building than a fairy-tale castle. If the latter 2 castles were to be used, they would both need a little redesigning and minor adjustments; as in the case of HK DL's Sleeping Beauty Castle, which to me looks like a combination of the Anaheim and Orlando castles!
Pesonally, my first choice would be Cinderella's, which, of all the Disney castles, IMHO can't be beat in terms of design and appearance. I guess if that was too much like WDW, even that can get a facelift, much like the HK castle!
Now, back to my second draft. First of all, Liberty Square was thrown out completely, since it was almost exactly like WDW's LS. The American Adventure in LS was thrown out completely, and the remaining attractions were move to different land Here is what I now have so far:
Phase 1: THE MAGIC KINGDOM
Main Street, USA:
1.) City Hall
2.) The Disney Gallery
3.) (name of park) Railroad
4.) The Hall of Presidents
5.) Main Street Vehicles
6.) Penny Arcade
7.) a completely new presentation telling Walt Disney's life story, his legacy, and about the building and opening of the Disney theme parks over the years. Since The Walt Disney Story and Walt Disney: One Man's Dream have been taken, can someone help me find a title for this?
Adventureland:
1.) 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
2.) Enchanted Tiki Room (not sure of which version to use, since I've never been to Disneyland or WDW. However, it's more than likely that this version would be different from either the original or WDW's "Under New Management" version, since I'm trying to de-emphasize similarities to the 2 existing parks!)
3.) Indiana Jones: Temple of the Crystal Skull
4.) Jungle Cruise (this is a new version of the DL & WDW attractions, with a number of different show scenes and attractions)
5.) Magic Carpets of Aladdin
6.) Pirates of the Carribean (similar to the extended version seen at DL Anaheim)
7.) Tarzan's Treehouse
Critter Country:
Before listing rides and attractions, I'd like to remind you again that I've thrown LIberty Square out, because it made the park too similar to WDW's Magic Kingdom. With this revision, this MK now have 7 lands (5 main lands and 2 smaller "back lands", as in the case of WDW and Tokyo DL; FYI, DL Anaheim has 8 and DL Paris has 6). Now, here are the rides/attractions:
1.) Country Bears Jamboree (original show seen at WDW)
2.) It's Tough to Be a Bug
3.) Splash Mountain
4.) The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Discoveryland:
This is basically Tommorrowland, with a few EPCOT-like attractions thrown in. I chose Discoveryland over Tommorrowland to make the park different from the others (only DL Paris used this title), and to provide a more diverse section with less likelyhood of becoming outdated! Here is what I now have for Discoveryland:
1.) Astro-Orbiter
2.) Autotopia (I may use a different title for this attraction in case this is too similar; as in the case of WDW, which calls their attraction Tommorrowland Indy Speedway. What do you think?)
3.) Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
4.) Cosmic Waves
5.) Discoveryland Theater
6.) Discoveryland Transit Authority
7.) The Earth: This is a completely original attraction, which gives guests a visual and interactive journey through the Earth's wonders-- with an emphasis on people and animals' realtionship with the Earth on which they live. Sort of like The Land, with little or no emphasis on food!!! Among the attractions, includes:
a.) Behind the Seeds-- or something similar, possibly with a new title.
b.) Circle of Life: Since this attraction deals with the Earth and its enviroment, I decided to throw this in.
c.) The Earth Ride-- a mechanical ride which goes with the attraction's theming.
d.) a multi-story indoor tropical rain forest habitat, with exotic plants, birds, small animals, waterfalls, and large rock formations!
8.) Horizons (a number of people were complaining about this being taken out of EPCOT on the WDW General Discussion board, so I decided to throw this in!)
9.) Imageworks-- since I'm trying to make this park more original, I threw out JII where this is located at EPCOT, and gave Imageworks a building all its own-- I would say at least double the size of EPCOT's attraction. In addition to (some of) the same attractions as EPCOT (the Touching Tones dance floor will be included here, since it's a favorite), the additional attractions will include:
a.) Captain EO: The Next Generation -- This is a sequel to the original Cpt.EO, where Michael Jackson takes on a brand new 3-D adventure!
b.) The Rainbow Corridor: This was an attraction I always wanted to see but never will since it was recently taken out, IIRC! : frown:
, etc.
10.) Innoventions
11.) Journey to the Center of the Earth
12.) The Living Seas-- includes the following:
a.) Carribean Coral Reef Ride (no longer at WDW!)
b.) Sea Base Alpha
c.) Sea Base Concourse
d.) Ocean Touch Pool-- where guests get a "hands on" experience in touching and handling ocean specimens. (harmless ones of course!)
e.) Wave Machine: a machine that "manufactures" ocean waves with salt water and a sand surface.
13.) Mission: Space
14.) Orbitron
15.) Space Mountain
16.) Stitch's Alen Encounter (different from ExtraTERRORestrial AE at WDW and MUCH less intense for the younger guests!)
17.) The Time Maker
18.) Universe of Energy-- includes:
a.) Energy Exchange: an updated version of the former Communicore attraction, taken out when Innoventions replaced Communicore at WDW's EPCOT.
b.) Universe of Energy Ride: COMPLETELY different from EPCOT attraction; among other things, Ellen DeGeneres is replaced by the gang from Monsters, Inc.!
Fantasyland:
1.) Ariel's Grotto
2.) Beauty and the Beast dark ride
3.) Castle(?)-- see poll
4.) Cinderella's Golden Carousel
5.) Dumbo the Flying Elephant
6.) Fantasyland Stage-- in front of the castle, featuring among other things, Cinderella's (or whoever's castle is used) Surprise Celebration
7.) Hercules' High-Flying Adventure (roller coaster)
8.) It's a Small World
9.) The Little Mermaid dark ride
10) Mad Tea Party
11.) Mickey Mouse Revue (similar to former WDW attraction now at Tokyo DL)
12.) Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
13.) The Old Mill Ferris Wheel: a ferris wheel shaped like a windmill (I checked my tape of the 1937 Silly Symphony on which this ride is based on; which refreshed my memory, this was a windmill and not a grist mill as I said earlier!) :brick:
14.) Peter Pan's Flight
15.) Pinocchio's Daring Journey
16.) Sleeping Beauty dark ride
17.) Snow White's Scary Adventures
Frontierland:
1.) Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
2.) Davy Crokett's Explorer Canoes
3.) Frontierland Riverboat
4.) Frontierland Shootin' Arcade
5.) The Haunted Mansion
6.) Pocahontas Island (a mini-section within Frontierland, similar to Tom Sawyer's Island) includes:
a.) 17th Century Jamestown, VA settlement recreation
b.) Enchanted Glade play area
c.) Indian Village, with Ceremonial Dance Circle (much like the long-gone DL Anaheim attraction)
d.) Pocahontas and Her Forest Friends
7.) Woody's Saloon Revue
Mickey's Toontown
1.) Chip 'n Dale's Treehouse
2.) Donald's Boat
3.) Goofy's Barnstormer (may have slight differences from WDW)
4.) Jolly Trolley
5.) Mickey's House
6.) Minnie's House
7.) Professor Ludwig Von Drake's House of Genius (based loosely on an earlier proposal)
8.) Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin
9.) Scrooge McDuck's Money Bin (play area based on Scrooge's immense money bin, which also includes a "meet and greet" area that Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Scrooge McDuck have for themselves!)
10.) Toontown Hall of Fame
Parades:
1.) Afternoon Parade: not sure (could you please help me out?), but I am kind of partial to "Share a Dream Come True" with the snowglobes, and I have no idea what parade DL Anaheim runs in the afternoon. However, I'm sure that it will be something different from either park, anyway!
2.) Night Time Parade: Main Street Electrical Parade, but a slightly updated version.
Phase 2 park:
This second park includes an actual working movie/TV/animation studio, along with a smaller section with rides generally more intense than the rides in the Magic Kindgom. My original proposal for Phase 2 was a bit too much like an overgrown California Adventure, so I revised a number of attractions. Here is what I now have for my Phase 2 park:
Disney Studios-- not necessarily the offical title, but will have a different name from Disney-MGM and Walt Disney Studios in Paris. This is an actual working studio, with six soundstages (double the number at Disney-MGM), a backlot, and an animation studio, plus room for expansion:
1.) Aladdin's Musical Adventure (I chose Aladdin to offer something different, since WDW has Hunchback of Notre Dame)
2.) Animagic (similar to Animagique at DL Paris)
3.) Armageddon Special Effects Stage
4.) Catastrophe Canyon
5.) Cinemagic (similar to Cinemagique at DL Paris)
6.) Disney Studio 1; consisting of:
a.) Sound Studio: a mock SFX studio, where guests add sound effects to various Disney Cartoons
b.) TV Zone: much like the now-defunct Disney-MGM attraction; where guests put themselves into various TV shows, both classic and current, and interact with the characters!
7.) Earffel Tower: this is a real water tower for the studio, unlike the giant prop at Disney-MGM
8.) Fantasmic!
9.) Festival of the Lion King
10.) The Great Movie Ride (with primarily different movie scenes from the WDW attraction.)
11.) Harry Potter ride/attraction of some sort
12.) Hollywood Wax Museum: a much scaled-down sample of the actual museum in Hollywood, with an emphasis on Disney actors and characters.
13.) Honey I Shrunk the Audience
14.) Hyperion Theater (should this have a different name?)
15.) Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular (even though WDW has this attraction at Disney-MGM, I think this is one of their very best attractions, and therefore included this here!)
15.) Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3-D
16.) Magic of Disney Animation: an actual animation studio, on a larger scale that the WDW, DL Anaheim, and DL Paris counterparts; divided into the following sections:
a.) Cel Animation: Since Michael Eisner decided to terminate traditional 2-D cel animation on a regular basis; this would be used mainly for demonstration purposes, animated cartoons for ABC Televsion and The Disney Channel, as well as an occasional 2-D short to accompany Disney's feature film releases.
b.) 3-D Computer Animation: This will be the largest section of the building and the studio's main product, along with demonstrations as well.
c.) Claymation: A clay animation exhibit, with demonstrations. Primarily used for demonstration purposes, since Disney has used, or plans to use, very little of this product.
17.) Residential Street
18.) Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Courtroom: A 3-D interactive cartoon where YOU are the jury and Roger Rabbit is the judge!
19.) Star Tours
20.) Studio Tour: Behind the Scenes
21.) Television Production Tour
22.) That's Entertainment! Hollywood Gallery: similar to The Disney Gallery, but with exhibits from the rest of Hollywood (TV, movies, and possibly music as well!)
23.) Tron: The Ride (similar to an earlier proposal on this board)
24.) Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Play It!
Unnamed themed area: This was what I originally titled Paradise Pier, but this was too much like the California Adventure section. Can someone PLEASE help me find a name for this area?
1.) Aquatopia
2.) Benny the Cab dodgems/bumper cars
3.) Swing Ride, much like the rides in many traditional amusement parks (DL's CA has Oranger Stinger, BTW) I was considering a
Mary Poppins theme, where guests ride in swings shaped like umbrellas! Could anyone please help me with this?
4.) Golden Zephyr
5.) Herbie the Love Bug themed wild mouse-like coaster
6.) Hercules' Test of Strength (similar to Mailboomer, but with a Hercules theme, where an animatronic Hercules bangs his hammer onto the platform, sending riders to ring the bell on top!)
7.) Hook's Revenge: modeled after Captain Hook's ship; swings riders backward and forward before completing a series of 360-degree rotations at 33 feet per second. Similar to The Gauntlet, now Rocket Power Air Time at Paramount's Carowinds, seen in pics at the below URL's:
http://www.carowinds.com/attractions_rides_featured.jsp?id=544023
http://www.coastertown.com/Paramount/Carowinds/OldWorld/Gauntlet01.htm
8.)Jumpin' Jellyfish
9.)King Neptune's Spinning Trident: Basically a Disney version of the Scrambler; with three rotating arms holding four spinning seats apiece.
10.) Lilo & Stitch Surfing Coaster
11.) Midway Games
12.) Pecos Bill's Round Up (much like the amusement park ride, but included ride cars for the passengers to sit in, instead of stand up on the edge. An example can be found on the Sream Weaver at Carowinds-- pic in below URL:
http://www.coastertown.com/Paramount/Carowinds/Waynes/Scream03.htm
However, Pecos Bill's will retain the traditional washtub shape of the Round Up ride!
13.) Sky Tower (a better name, anyone?): This is a 300+ foot tall observation tower, why gives guests a panoramic view of the park from a great height.
14.) River Rapids ride similar to Kali River Rapids in WDW AK and Grizzly Ride Ride in DL's CA. Need a new name, anyone?
15.) Scream Machine--similar to California Screamin' at DL's CA, but it mayneed a somewhat different design if it's too similar.
However, I would like to retain the "Mickey" track on the side of the coaster!
16.) Sinbad's 7 Voyages (but in English instead of Japanese!
)
17.) The Whirlpool-- different from Tokyo DisneySea attraction, in which the teacups are replaced with Tilt-a-Whirl cars, which spin around (faster if riders pull the level towards them!) The basic design and the "under the sea" artwork, will be similar, however.
Parades:
A Hollywood-based parade similar to Disney Stars and Motor Cars, especially since this is a studio-themed park. I was also considering using Hollywood-based musical tunes for the parade; such as "Hooray for Hollywood" and "That's Entertainment", for example.
Also, there will be the fireworks at the end of the Fantasmic! stage show!
Well there you have it, a complete 2nd draft of my Disney theme park proposal! Any comments, questions, and/or feedback are welcome. If this doesn't seem professional enough for you, take into consideration that I've never been to WDW or other Disney parks, and most of you probably have; some of you have been many times! I really could use your help and feedback, so feel free to post. Also remember to answer the poll about the castle!
I'm trying to decide which castle to use. My first choice by far is Cinderella's Castle, but I'm wondering it if is too similar to the castle at WDW. So far, 2 parks have Cinderella's Castle (WDW in Orlando & Tokyo), and 3 parks have/will have Sleeping Beauty's castle (DL Anaheim, Paris, and upon opening, Hong Kong).

For instance, Snow White's castle is much plainer (set in an earlier time period that Cinerella or B&TB) and has a rather odd shape to it (perhaps the reason it was never used in Disney parks), and Beauty & the Beast's castle looks more like a Main Street building than a fairy-tale castle. If the latter 2 castles were to be used, they would both need a little redesigning and minor adjustments; as in the case of HK DL's Sleeping Beauty Castle, which to me looks like a combination of the Anaheim and Orlando castles!
Pesonally, my first choice would be Cinderella's, which, of all the Disney castles, IMHO can't be beat in terms of design and appearance. I guess if that was too much like WDW, even that can get a facelift, much like the HK castle!

A Hollywood-based parade similar to Disney Stars and Motor Cars, especially since this is a studio-themed park. I was also considering using Hollywood-based musical tunes for the parade; such as "Hooray for Hollywood" and "That's Entertainment", for example.
Also, there will be the fireworks at the end of the Fantasmic! stage show!
Well there you have it, a complete 2nd draft of my Disney theme park proposal! Any comments, questions, and/or feedback are welcome. If this doesn't seem professional enough for you, take into consideration that I've never been to WDW or other Disney parks, and most of you probably have; some of you have been many times! I really could use your help and feedback, so feel free to post. Also remember to answer the poll about the castle!
Anyway, just thought I'd let you know!
