I would have to think about that for a little bit. I will have to get back to you. however, I do know what I think disney should do to the existing parks:
1. transplant it's a small world to world showcase in epcot. right where the millinium village was.
2. remove tomorrowland transit authority and actually make it a way to get around world showcase from futureworld. now I wouldn't put it in the open except in future world, but hide it in the rear of all the countries with 4 stops around world showcase. that way if you were standing in world showcase you would never see it. but if you didn't want to walk the entire way around world showcase you wouldn't have to.
3. move the jungle cruse to animal kingdom.
4. build indiana jones where the jungle cruis was
5. where it's a small world was build alice in wonderland attraction.
6. now in tomorrowland a sci fi theme would be great, jules vern etc. keep buzz, COP, and space mountain since they are really cool. build a journey to the center of the earth ride (from tokeyo disney seas) in tomorrowland complete with erupting volcano.
7. also build the storm ride from disney seas in tomorrowland.
8. I was never keen on time keeper but a 3d show on space would be a good fit.
9. haunted mansion needs a few new updated tricks other then that leave it alone. country bears needs to be updated to be closer to the movie.
10. the wand in epcot must go.
11. living seas needs a complete refurbishment and it's ride system restored. maybe a sea store in the pavilion would be cool.
12. journey into your imagination is cool but needs to be updated with more spectacular effects.
13. add switzerland to world showcase with a matterhorn type ride. that with it's a small world would give world showcase 4 rides.
14. the hat in MGM is a keeper.
15. in MGM add a few more movie rides, like a emporers new groove roller coaster/dark ride combination, you start going through slowly through emporers new groove but the river parts and the part where the go into the seceret labrotory, make it fast and coaster style.
16. MGM needs an Monsters inc. show or ride or a 3d ride combo.
17. star tours needs to be updated to the newer star wars films.
18. a special effects show would be great in MGM.
19. a jungle cruis type ride in the dinosaur area of animal kingdom all with dinosaurs would be great.
20. Beastly kingdom area of the park needs to be built, but not just a thrill ride portion, a dark ride and some shops and stuff would be cool. it should be a whole mythical beasts area. rehash the gummi bears for this area, and a ride based on the black cauldrun here would be great. bring back the river boats, although run more of them and just use it as transportation up and down the river.
21. add some unmarked trails and some hidden picture spots in animal kingdom.
22. build a walkthrough of tarzan's tree house in animal kingdom or maybe use that to a tarzan ride.
23. build a hotel just for wedding's and honeymooners. something like the all stars maybe a little nicer. but with giant hearts, lady and the tramp. hearts frills etc. some inexpensive romantic resturants etc.
24. eventually would like to see the monoral to all resorts and parks.
25. make the old discovery island into another attraction. I heard rumors of a myst island, or I was thinking of a lego land island. in the middle a huge light house made of legos.
26. put a disney quest in epcot or tomorrowland.
27. add a villan's ride or show somewhere.
thats what i would do. as for a new park I will get back to ya.

Okay, I've been thinking this idea up for quite a while. I don't know what land to put it in, or anything, but it's a cool idea nonetheless.
There is an attraction, which is made to look like it's an early-American theater. On the marquee, it says something like "Grand Re-Opening" and then the show it shows. Now, in the front on the street, there is a parked news van (more on that later). In the line, which forms outside, and around the street corner. When you get inside for the pre-show, you figure it out, via three AA figures: A cameraman, a reporter (hence the news van outside), and a portly theater owner. You learn that you are the test audience, the first to see the new theater in all it's refurbished glory.
The reporter interviews the owner, and he explains that the building was shut down in the 40's because it was said to be haunted. The building sat in the same spot for years, until the owner, who's just trying to make an "honest living" is trying to sell it as a thrill theater. Then the cameraman turns and the reporter explains how you are a part of the first test audience for this new "attraction." When you are let into the theater, which is really two theaters, like Alien Encounter, you get harneses, again, similar to Alien Encounter, that would fit over your neck. Then the movie would play. It starts out, nice and slow, it's a timeless Disney film (heh, makes sence), but then, the picture fades in and out, and the film changes, and suddenly the film becomes an actual animated mess (i.e. the good guys become the bad guys, and so on).
The house lights go down, then up, then they flicker, and then the movie runs in reverse. Then, you feel effects, which are randomized throughout the audience. This is mainly because we want to scare the crap out of the passholders who know all the attractions by heart. Then, after a few more effects, it's all over.
As you exit (billed as "an Intermission while they fix the problem", you go into the post-show room, where there is a CM as the popcorn vendor, expalining that they're working on fixing the problem. Then the doors begin to creak. The CM walks over, trying to open the doors, but can't, and then all the guests are escorted through a backdoor to the exit ramp, where it's themed as a part of the building where they didn't touch since the theater had closed. All sorts of furniture, paintings, and other things reside here, and some of the things move, and attempt to fall on guests, but don't actualy fall on them. It would look like a Museum of the Weird that was planned for the Haunted Mansion.
So, there you have it. No ghosts per se, but the idea is that something isn't right, like the Alien Encounter show. Similar idea, diffrent setting.

hey arson that was an awsome idea, I like how you extend the ride experience all the way to the exit, do you have any more ideas.

Thank you. As a side note, I like to think of that as an attraction that would fit into some sort of "Todayland." And as for more ideas, as a matter of fact, I do...
Okay, in Tomorrowland, you embark on a voyage to find a fabled mythical creature named "Arcaya" (think “Loch Ness Monster”) from a mysterious Central American civilization that was wiped off the face of the earth after hundreds of years of existence.
You enter the "machine," which is really a theater, with rows of seats, all sorts of high-tech scaffolding, large piles of technology stuff, computers, a hologram of the ship, and a “stage” area. This stage would be two or three feet above the audience, with four segmented panels on the side of the wall (two on each side), and what's really a small dome (think planetarium) on its side, facing the audience. These are all surrounded by an acrylic covering, so it’s authentic, like you are really separated from nature. This will come into play later.
The basic idea is your captain (either played by a CM or an animatronic, I can’t decide) and his crew, two wisecracking navigation robots (think R2-D2 and C-3PO, or Timekeeper) and a mechanic are taking you on this fantastic journey to find the fabled creature. The ship “takes off” by going underwater from its position, swaying on the side of a docking port (i.e. the main queue). The cool part is that the glass around the “view ports” actually runs bubbles through them, like that one attraction at DisneySea. So, in essence, you go underwater.
The navigation robots guide the ship, until the ship reaches the location of the last known sighting, when all of a sudden; you get attacked by an unknown force. This causes a “leak” in one of the windows (they will have multiple panes, so it’s possible to push water through them), and the guests are sprayed with a little water. (The actual theater will be set up so that there can be a rush of water, and it would be recycled for the next show, of course.) The ship goes to the surface, with the effects of the water being turned off, and the bubbles in the window turned off. Then, the repair robot comes out, from behind the audience, on a track that’s more like a “claw prize” games.
He fixes it, and then they dive again, to find “Arcaya,” who doesn’t like you watching him, and is going to attack you. Well, the ship manures out of the way, until a whole school of these beasts attacks the ship, knocking it to a coastal island. This sequence would involve a “Muppets 3d”-like destruction of the theater, but a little more drastic, like explosions inside the theater.
Anyway, on the coastal island, you get off, and right into a shop (surprise surprise).
Updated: Oh, and I'm working on a new idea, without the use of a ride film. Okay, maybe a short one.

another awsome idea, I really like your ideas, I see some of your rides that are not shows. Keep up the good work.

Okay, another idea, but I'm short on details (I'm on my way to an appointment, so it'll be quick and less-detailed).
For Epcot, since they're so keen on re-doing all the Future World pavilions, I have a few ideas for this part of the park.
Okay, a replacement for Body Wars (it'd have to expand the building though) is a new version of the old classic... Adventure Thru the Human Body....old microscope and all! Actually, I didn't think this one out quite enough, because 1) that attraction left seventeen years ago and 2) I don't know what it entailed, since I myself am only 17. So I'm kind of in the dark on this one. But anyway, I'll work to the best of my knowledge. Okay, similar to the Great Movie Ride, the attraction will have four different shows, encompassing different levels of human stages: child, teenager, middle-age, and senior. This will be the rider's choice. Anyway, you'll be treated to a Pre-show, depending on your choice. These shows would contain a short film about how they live, summarized medical history, etc.. Then, you'd embark on a trip through the person you selected! For example, the middle-aged person is a smoker, so when you travel though his/her "lungs," they are black, showing off the effects of years of bad choices. Then, when the next car comes thought the same area, say, for the child, it'll look like the color of a healthy lung, but something else, like the brain of a child would be "developing," like growing before your eyes. So, it's kind of cool to think that you could go on this ride 4 times, and see the differences in stages of life. And the cars would be on the same track, so it'll save space. Also, in the beginning, you'll go through a replica of the giant microscope that was in "Adventures Thru Inner Space."
Here's another idea for that same space:
Next, a Weather pavilion. Now, we all know what ride would go in here, but for the pavilion itself, I would make giant cylinders throughout the building, showing off weather effects: rain, tornado, thunderstorms, snow, etc. I know many effects could be re-created, and I think this would be cool, so guests could walk up to them, look at them from other angles, and better understand how they happen. This is Epcot after all.
Also, take the Carousel of Progress, and put it in Epcot, as a sort of homage to Walt Disney.
Next, I'm moving on to Disney MGM Studios. They need something to replace the Honey I Shrunk The Kids play area. What I think they should do is add some kind of generic action ride, but using guest-participation. Check this out: with the newer side vehicles, like the ones used on Temple of the Forbidden Eye, they could create some crazy situations. Instead of putting you into a movie that's already been seen by guests, this will let you go into a movie that you direct and star in, AND do all your own stunts!
You sit in a car, similar to a Test Track car, but painted red, and then you'd hear someone yell "Action!" and you'd be off. You'll be chased by a car, perform all kinds of crazy jumps, turns, and even pop a wheelie! During the ride, each person in the car will be given the chance to, say, turn left or right, jump over a bridge or drive around it, use the car's "special features" to set off a stick of dynamite to evade the other car or use an oil slick, and so on. And the best part is that at the post-show of the ride is a chance to see your movie in action (using in-car cameras and pre-shot footage), and even purchase it, if you so desire.
UPDATE: I want to clarify something. In the MGM ride, the guests aren't actually popping wheelies, or making perilous jumps, or anything like that, and they're not even being chased, it's all just the Dinosaur-style ride system that simulates that stuff. They will be going fast, but they'll never leave the ground. Oh, and I would like to mention that different parts of the ride would be set to a default, like, for example, if someone doesn't make a choice, or the ride isn't full enough and they have to let empty cars go, then it'll have it's own course set already. And the setting for all this, by the way, is outside an airline hanger, with the car chase being the climax of the movie. Oh, and before you get unloaded, the "director" yells "CUT!" as a nice little homage to Hollywood. The VHS tape that you can purchase would also include the making of the whole ride itself.
