Animation Courtyard: You’re Welcome!
Ok so we all know DHS is a bit of a concrete jungle. From the Hollywood Streets, to the planet of battu, to Toy Story land! (Thanks a lot Jim Shull). Dhs needs a lot more foliage! We also know dhs kinda has an e-ticket problem, along with a dry-ness problem, and a capacity problem. Dhs is filled to the brim with major big budget attractions that are some of the best experiences at wdw. They also don’t leave much room for needed c-d tickets (aside from star tours and muppet vision, which I will get to later, don’t you worry!) , add on the maintenance and reliability issues, and the volume of these types of rides at dhs, we’ve all come to agree that DHS could use a classic dark ride or two, along with some flat rides to pad out the park. So what do I have in mind to solve all of these issues? MOANA!
Yes I know moving the rumored boat ride to this park isn’t the most exciting idea, but the big, high capacity Boat ride rumored for MK would imo fit the bill perfectly for DHS. This whole area would also be bound to be very full of foliage and water, a nice “park within a park” atmosphere I feel DHS needs! The boat ride would see you journey through the waves with Moana and Maui, even going beneath to face tamatoa! (Life sized animatronic abound!) A high seas voyage the whole family can enjoy! Of course, there is an exit shop, and there is a blue bayou esque sit down restaurant where you can see the boats go by!
For the flat rides, we have a Moana themed spinner, ala dumbo, and also, an intamin splash battle attraction, as a way for guests to cool down! We would also have a tropical hideaway esque quick service and seating area! We also, of course, have a Moana and Maui meet and greet space. The land itself is full of foliage, and moving water features, as well as a faux river and lagoon!
I’m not the best at map making, so obviously this would be spaced out more irl. This is meant as a general rep of what rides would be there. If anyone would want to make a more accurate map, go right ahead.
Next up is the most boring out of the ideas tbh. It is supposed to be realistic, so bear with me.
