Upper James River Trail
To further embed the theme of Old Virginia into Disney’s Kings Dominion, the White Water Rapids will be renamed and rethemed into the Upper James River Trail. Named after the famous James River, the attraction will take guest on a journey through the rapids of Shenandoah Valley as they explore the natural beauty of Shenandoah and those who call her home.
*Image of Shenandoah*
This attraction will maintain much of the original layout, however much of the scenery will be modified to best reflect the Shenandoah Valley and the life of those that live there. The forest will be thickened, and a small river trading post will be added to the attraction that will implement new water effects to further soak the guest. Finally, the Lumber yard, that Shenandoah was once known for will be restored to reflect the active life style.

Hall of Presidents
Behold all 44 of the men who have served as U.S. President in an Audio-Animatronics show tracing the history of the United States.

A Celebration of Virginia’s History
The Old Virginia section of Disney’s Kings Dominion is dedicated to Virginia and her history it felt perfect to add the Hall of Presidents to this park seeing that 8 of American’s 44 Presidents call this state their birthplace.
A Celebration of Liberty’s Leaders
Experience an epic theatrical production that brings the story of the American presidency to life as never before.
Enter the pristine Hall of Presidents in the heart of Liberty Square—modeled after Independence Hall in Philadelphia—and make your way beneath an awe-inspiring grand rotunda. Peruse an authentic artifact collection nearby featuring such treasures as George Washington’s dental instruments and Abraham Lincoln’s leather portfolio.
The Presidents Will See You Now
Stroll into the 700-seat main theater, home to 3 massive projection screens and a grand proscenium. As the lights dim, sit back and enjoy an original film—developed by a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian—relaying the dramatic story of the United States of America.
During the presentation, revel in America’s enduring origins, the formation of our Constitution and the hard-fought struggles along the way—such as the American Revolution and the Civil War. Listen to the stirring words of John F. Kennedy echo throughout the theater and watch Abraham Lincoln—in attendance on stage—deliver his Gettysburg address.
Then, witness a very special display as the curtain rises to reveal each and every United States President, together for the very first time—followed by speeches delivered by Presidents George Washington and Donald J. Trump.
Presidential and Senate Debates
Building off the dreams of Disney’s America, the Hall of Presidents will serve two duties on to the people in the form in education about our presidential history. The other duty will be to the state by serving as a one of the Few Presidential Debate locations during Presidential Election Cycles and a debate center for all Virginian Elections.

Heads up Team Kings Dominion!

I've Started.

American Journey

Walking down the historical streets of Old Virginia, guest will stroll past Hall the of Presidents in Independence Hall and the various street vender. On the side of the streets guests will find Revolutionary Era building, waving flags of patriotic colors and seeing American wears and foods as guest walk buy.

Designed by Thomas Jefferson, the famous rotunda welcomes guests as a beacon of education as they approach the entrance to the American Journey.

Walking up towards the Rotunda, guest will find the entrance of the American Journey at the immaculate garden on the ride side of the structure. Guest will walk a collection of American Flora as they dive deeper into the Gardens, trees such as the Dogwoods and Southern Magnolia greet them as they walk buy. Guest continue to wrap around gardens until they re-approach the front of the Rotunda and begin to make their way up the ramp.
As visitors enter the Rotunda they will proceed through a series of unused classrooms until they are dividing into visiting groups and taken into a newly refurbished classroom where a new appointed professor will introduced himself and present the pre-show information.


Pre-Show

As you step out of this room, you will board our vessel with four individuals per row and six rows total.

As the narration speaks, the cities come to life with animatronics frolicking about the city: buying things from the long stores, completing errands and representing the daily city life.

Scene 5 French and India War

The room darkens as the sounds of gunshots and cannons echo the room and the sounds of War develop the entire area.
“Sadly the rapid expansion into native lands and fighting between Colony leaders led to a Seven Year proxy war known as a the French and Indian War. However after years of fighting a war no one wanted or had a say in, frustration grew in the colonies as talks of Independence began spreading throughout he country side like wild fire"

Umm Idk what else @D Hindley can you think of anything else.

Could you do brief intro paragraphs for you two main lands/phases? There's Industrial Revolution. What's the Virginian history land called? Would help with the presentation.

Could you do brief intro paragraphs for you two main lands/phases? There's Industrial Revolution. What's the Virginian history land called? Would help with the presentation.

I can help out a bit for the presentation, I'm going to do a bit work on the house and clean than come back to the presentation.

I consider the Virigian History land as a continuation of Old Virginia. (I.E Think New Fantasyland, tis' a fantasyland expansion. THis is an expansion of Old Virginia)

I'll try to get the intros down after I clean.

 

[D Hulk]

To the best of my knowledge all the content created so far is now on the slideshow. Please review and critique. And edit your text in there if you need to.

Still needed: Park project intro. Intros for Old Virginia and Industrial Revolution. The E-ticket coaster in Industrial Revolution. And possibly a park map (if able) showing locations.
