Finally a slected amount of people enter the boarding station thorugh a window you can see the tranquil loch with a huge black figure swimming about it. Suddenly the lights begin to flicker and then fail. Next you hear a gut-wrenching growl, you look at the window and there are two red eyes gleaming back. the lights come on and you board the ride. First the boat goes out into the loch where it is disturbed by rough bumping( extremely sharp turns) and distubances in the water. Next your boat goes into a dark cave with looming red eyes. your boat now goes onto steel track onto a hill lift towards the red eyes. As soon as you get to the top, the monster show its full form and tries to take a snap at you, but your boat has other plans.

Oceania:

Legend of the Bunyip: A Motion Simuator of some sort telling the story of the outback's Bunyip

Alchera: A large recreation of Ayres Rock houses a dark ride in line of TDL's Pooh. The premise is that you are going on an adventure to the base of the rock to visit the caves. You board mini Off-road vehicles outdoors on a "track." You pass some animal areas and eventually start into a small cave at the base of the rock. Once inside, odd lighting, noises, and music begins. Suddenly, the far rock wall opens, and you enter (each vehicle through a separate door into a separate room) a glowing chamber. You then take a trek through the Dreamtime of Australian Aborigine mythology that shows the creation of everything. Although this is not directly related to animals, it does involve many animal-based references throughout the stories. At night, Ayers rock will have lighting that makes it appear to glow green.

Platypus Flats: hovering over water, riders “navigate” their trackless duckbill craft around obstacles and bump other guests for points. Geysers and other water features promise riders a refreshing experience.

Tasmanian devil: a thrilling dark ride coaster housed in Uluru. During the indoor lift-hill preshow through the nighttime outback, riders may catch glimpses of the endangered thylacine. During the twisting first drop, riders are whisked outdoors and through two consecutive corkscrews that wind through the remote mining town of Last Chance, circa 1906.

Swarm soar: A rollercoaster which is above the water and themed to a giant fish bird like creature.

The new generation: A ride which is similar to the one at futuroscope france. We encounter different future animals but not only effects are used but also audio animatronic figures.

Hovercraft journey: A safari ride showing us the new zoology in hovercrafts



Galapagos islands: This land features four rides but for three rides I don't know a name.

The first attraction would be a fast paced roller coaster themed to the various lave tubes of the Galapagos. This attraction would dip and dive in and out of lava tunnels offering a view of the inside of the tunnels as well as a view of the landscape above. The ride would end escaping from the tunnels due to incoming lava. The ride vehicles would appear as mine carts some what similar to the Indiana Jones attraction in Disneyland Paris.

The next E- ticket attraction would be a boat ride through a river ending in a large drop down a waterfall. Guest would encounter many species of animals (AA of course) and various plants.

Lastly an attraction similar to Aquatopia in Disney Sea would be laced here as well. There would be surrounding rock formations with AA fur seals and Iguanas resting on them. Instead of a plain shallow floor like the one in Tokyo, this version would use lighting/projection technology that would make it appear that sea life like hammerhead sharks, seals, and marine iguanas are swimming right by you.

Charles Darwin's voyage: A maelstrom like ride themed to Charles Darwin's journeys.

Maleficent doesn't scream Animal Kingdom to me.
Don't know how I feel about Ant Island & Nemo's Sea.
The African Queen sounds like the Jungle Cruise.
I feel as Europe and Beastly Kingdom may be too similar as they both have attractions based on mythical creatures. Plus when I think Europe I think of Dragons and Unicorns.
Chupacabra I think is Central America. Maybe change Up And Fly Away to Up & Away? Three Caberllos unless you close the existing one in Mexico at EPCOT then I don't know there's only so much that movie can do. How about Grizzly River Run instead of Brother Bears?
Word Center sounds EPCOT-Y

Now if it were me with your plans this is what I'll do

Oasis (Is this staying?)
World Center
Prehistorica (Ice Age + Dinosaurs)
Asia
Oceania (Oceania + Nemo)
Africa (+ Pride Lands)
Eurotopia (Europe + Beastly Kingdom, Moors?)
Pandora
North America (+ Ant Island, but possibly scale it down?)
South America (+ Galapagos Islands)
Antarctica

Just my thoughts, I no way does this mean to offend you at all.

If people would like to share their ideas about the other disney parks around the world, be free to do so.

DisneySea - close to flawless. Walking through those tunnels all around and below the crater blew me away back then, very immersive and a lot of attention to detail there. Though DS could deal with a few more small attractions and activities.

Tokyo Disneyland - felt like walking through the past. Everything looked outdated, not in a good way, but i have been there last more than 10 years ago. I heard they have renewed quite a lot since. So can't say much on this one

Disneyland Paris - Don't get me started.... The park has serious flaws, but one of the highlights is its Space Mountain, i wish they would replace the old WDW SM with this one. Indy ain't too bad either, though it desperately needs the real Indy ride from DL next to the current attraction. (Those two would go well together, naturally)
One of the smaller, but still ingenious features i like about DLP is the grotto below the castle with the dragon.
I would like to see something similar in Tomorrowland. Which is the area that most desperately needs one more E-ticket. I would reincarnate Alien Encounter there. And build an actual 20k Leagues ride, instead of the current walkthrough attraction

Unless they merge the concept of Beastly Kingdom with the film of Maleficent.

There's dragons and fairies in it. And it is based off a fairytale of Europe and there's accents of Europeans in it that's pretty close? Not saying it should just going with what was said.

How about Oasis being Galapagos islands because of well the beginning of zoology records then.

World center would be similar to what we see inside the journey to the center of the earth ride but then converted into the area.

Prehistorica is fine with me
Oceania with Nemo sounds good
Africa is fine
Eurotopia doesn't sound that well. Beastly kingdom will be a land as middle earth or an enchanted forest while I think Europe is more about legends. In pictures or something this is easier to explain.
Pandora
North America is good but I have the feeling that Ant island should be another area since its a different theme. We aren't really sure where its located.
South america
Antarctica

I think i didn't include grizzly river run because of the kali river rapids.

So a few questions for Epcot

How many countries do you like at world showcase?
Is it okay to add IASW?
Do you have any ideas?
Do you like the old Epcot meaning or the new one with Frozen and other Disney characters?

Do you like the old Epcot meaning or the new one with Frozen and other Disney characters?
I have been enjoying and following this thread along, so now that I really don't have much to do, I guess I'll join in.:)

For the questions:
- I like the current amount to be honest. Maybe add one-three more, but this is good. Because now there's enough time to really explore all the pavilions in WS without rushing through some. You get to see and enjoy all cultures thoroughly. Also, I like having the tree transition between countries. If anything, I would add some more rides/experiences to each pavilion.
-This is one of the biggest debates and best questions in the WDW fan community. I actually don't know where I stand. It kind of just has a feel of classic-ness to it and belonging in MK park. I would be sad to not have it there. But it fits better thematically in WS. However, I wish there was a way where it can be in the exact center of WS, and to do that you have to move AA. So, in the end, I don't know about this one.
-Not too many ideas that are original. My favorite concepts for new pavilions are the Switzerland one with the Matterhorn, or the Venezuela pavilion with a rainforest tour ride and similar to Mexico (concept art is found common). As for new rides in WS, I think a new cultural one would be good to even out with Elsa and Donald. I was thinking maybe a dark ride/boat tour through the history and culture of Japan, or maybe a tour over the UK.
-I like the old Epcot WS where it is about the cultures more so than showing them with Disney characters. But, its coming. I think the best way to save WS is to make it fit by somehow distributing characters all around, but also remembering to keep it cultural and adding cultural rides to even it out, as I said earlier.

I felt like IASW could give a real meaning to WS and also could serve for a really cool nighttime show spectacular.

Here are some countries that are interesting I think:
Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, Egypt, Greece, Brazil or Costa Rica, Australia, Indonesia, India, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, South Africa, Tuvalu, Israel for example.

I'd like to add a few countries and pavilions to make the park a multi day park.

Other ideas for rides:

return of Horizons
Mount Fuji: A mountain coaster located in the Japan pavilion
Kitchen cabaret: The extinct show that now tells us about the eatwell plate and how to eat healthier in a fun way.
Dreamchasers: An indoor rollercoaster where we would chase our wildest imagination. The ride would be about a machine created by the dreamfinder that sends us into our imagination but this happens the other way around. The imagination comes out and so we have to chase these dreams.
Ratatouille: taste of France: a ride that Remy hosts. He tells us about French dishes and great locations. This attraction would be a bit thrilling when Skinner sees that Remy is touching the ingredients in his kitchen.
World of motion: An omnimover ride that teaches us about the history of Transportation and the development of it.
A whole new pavilion based on the internet:

Virus: A thrill ride where we get a tour of the newest features of the world wide web but when a virus hits us we get into troubles
The Firewall: lets guests battle computer viruses and spyware. But beware for all over the pavillion are little robots known as "Pop-Ups" that may appear cute but are annoying as heck.


A new pavilion based on recycling and garbage:

Garbage mountain or Junkyard peak: A rollercoaster ride based on a mountain made of garbage.
A wall-e ride where we have to help him to clean the Earth


The Timekeeper: The old show with new technology and new scenes to take you through time.
Age of the internet: A dark ride about the history of internet and all it can do and can do in the future




Notes:

El rio del tiempe in Mexico will be hosted by the three caballeros. The story will be that our three feathered friends will give us a tour of Mexico's history but they have to hurry before the concert starts. Be ready to encounter mayan people and many more.

The new Journey into Imagination with Figment and the Dreamfinder will be similar to Mystic manor but with Figment being Albert and lord mystic being the Dreamfinder. Figment touches the dream machine and all imagination runs wild.

Inside out ride will be a mix of body wars and cranium command. The ride will teach us about how the emotions work and how everything in the brain works.

Living With The Land: Step into a Canopy Covered Boat for a Journery Into the Ecosystems of the world and then learn about the Futrue of agriculture in the Greenhouses of The Land pavilion. Living With The Land is 15 minutes and 10 Seconds long and has an hourly capacity of 2100 Guests Per Hour.

Please tell me your ideas and what ideas you like and what ideas you don't or like to change a bit :)

Okay so I had this idea about making World showcase going all around the lake and that at the showcase plaza there would be the IASW pavilion with a new building, a big shop and a small restaurant too. This does mean that I'm going to fill up some water space. The odyssey center will disapppear and becomes part of transportation pavilion and one other future world pavilion. In the end the world showcase then can handle about 18-20 new countries. Can you help me with the countries I should use?
