If people would like to share their ideas about the other disney parks around the world, be free to do so.
Okay since some people misunderstood the plan, can we try to agree upon an amount of areas and attractions? Keep in mind that every land needs at least two e-tickets and two or three family rides. Also I'd really like to use hollywood boulevard, Pixar Playland, Animation studio, Walt Disney Movieland, Indiana Jones adventure lot, Star Wars galaxies, Backlot, Production courtyard, Gangster row, Muppet studio, Toontown and Marvel(?)
Is everyone okay with this?
first of all which rides would you love to see in hollywood studios or which movies would you like to see here at the park? Which movies should I use for the Pixar land? my idea was Toy Story, Incredibles, Monsters Inc and Cars, comments? Let me know

For a Pixar land, the obivous choices IMO are TS, Cars, MI, and Incredibles, like you mentioned, and they could create a really fun variety as it is. However, I have thought that it could be cool to include others, such as a unique balloon-based flat ride for Up, a suspended dark ride maybe for Bugs, and a flume ride for Brave? These are just ideas on how to make other films work.first of all which rides would you love to see in hollywood studios or which movies would you like to see here at the park? Which movies should I use for the Pixar land? my idea was Toy Story, Incredibles, Monsters Inc and Cars, comments? Let me know
I chose these movies because I think the others fit in the other parks. Nemo, Up, Bugs are movies for AK. Brave is more for the magic kingdom. Wall-e is epcot or magic kingdom and well ratatouille can be hollywood studios, magic kingdom or epcot( since the frozen maelstrom plan excists, why not?). Toy story would probably have 4-5 rides since I think Toy Story Playland is a great fit in in the Hollywood studios. Monsters Inc would have 4 also in both MU, monsters inc as monstropolis. Cars would have 3 rides probably based on the rides of today. Incredibles would have 2 or 3 rides where I see metropolis and maybe even syndrome's island. thoughts?
I'm thinking of putting a dark ride based on Mater's tall tales in place of putting the junkyard jamboree in, I don't know if anyone likes this idea? Also I could take some space from toy story playland and put in Woody's roundup cowboy town or something but I don't know if people would like it. Thoughts?
Okay just wanted to know an opinion and I wanted to get something original to the park

Maybe as some sort of live entertainment though, if it can bee worked into that some how? Such as a stage being set up in the Mater area of RS, or even part of a MJJ queue?
Hmmm how about an audio animatronic mater telling some of his tall tales in the queue? Or just the moving posters which we also see in the movie.
I was thinking about a ride similar to amazing adventures of Spiderman but with the incredibles, a spinner themed to the omnidroid and a flying coaster over Syndrome's island where we see omnidroids, animals and Syndrome himself
I'll try to post the park plan next saturday
I've come to the conclusion of 74 rides, shows and some special meet and greet buildings. There's not yet decided about a parade.
Final plan
Hollywood boulevard:
Great movie adventure: This ride will be in the same building as the Great Movie ride but it will use a different track system and it will have new scenes.
Theatre of melodies: This show will be about the evolution of music and sound. This ride will be close to the rock n’ rollercoaster and will use audio animatronic characters.
Hall of Fame: This wax museum will show some of the most famous Hollywood movie stars ever.
Cinemagic: This will be similar to the show in Paris but with new scenes and more and new effects.
Tower of Terror: The ride as we know it.
Rock n’ rollercoaster: The ride as we know it but with different bands so that the ride could give an unique experience every time you ride it.
Red trolley station: A trolley transporting people over Hollywood boulevard.
Fantasmic!: An updated version of the show.
Pixar Playland:
Toy Story Midway Mania: The ride as we know it but with 4 lanes to prevent longer queues.
When pigs can fly: A spinner where we board Hams with wings. This is located in Andy’s backyard area.
Slinky Dog Zigzag spin: The ride as we know it.
Rc racer: The ride as we know it.
Incredibles’ adventure: A motion based 3d dark ride following our heroic family on an adventure you’ll never forget.
Return to Syndrome’s island: A steel flying rollercoaster. We enter Edna’s house and then go through tunnels where we end up on Syndrome’s island but beware of Omnidroids and Syndrome himself.
Omnidroid spin: A spinner where we board one of the out of control Omnidroid’s tentacles
Radiator Springs 500: A ride similar to Radiator springs racers but with a few new scenes like the Mac scene where we re-use the catastrophe canyon scene but with different actions because water and fire won’t work well in this ride.
Luigi’s tire dance: The ride as it will be in the future. Get bumped by Guido’s family and enjoy this trackless ride.
Mater’s junkyard jamboree: The ride as we know it but with an audio animatronic Mater on the side singing the junkyard jamboree.
MU scare simulator: Test out your skills in scaring with a bunch of minigames!

Since no one seems to answer I'll start with AK.
I'd like to see more continents so maybe we can add some of those. This is a list of areas which could be fun:
Oasis: no rides but only shops and restaurants
World center: new name for discovery island and there will be a new 4d show inside the tree of life and a boat ride docking in several areas will be here too.
Ant island: based on a bug's life
Nemo's seas: a land based on Nemo. Located around the musical theatre.
Pridelands: based on the Lion King
Africa: As we know it but with new rides
Asia: As we know it but with new rides
Dinoland: the land will be rethemed and will use new rides( no more dino fair). This land could feature ice age rides too or I can make a seperate themed area
Antarctica: A land based on the coldest continent
North America
South America
Europe
Pandora: the planet of Avatar: the land as it is planned and expected
Beastly kingdom: The unbuilt land
Oceania
New age: kingdom of the future : A land based on future zoology
Galapagos islands
If you have some ideas or remarks then feel free to do so

I think the Incredibles attraction should be based off Big Hero 6 since the film is based off a Marvel comic.
