So I think we're in need of ideas and therefore, I had made a draft and brainstorm list of ideas that could be included in the park.
So for lands I quickly wrote down:
Fantasia Gardens:
A land inspired by the mythology and sounds of Disney's Fantasia(1940) and Fantasia 2000(1999), somewhat inspired by Beastly Kingdom, the unbuilt land for Disney's Animal Kingdom.
- Fantasia Gondoletta or Fantasia: A Musical Voyage: A boat ride similar to the one that was supposed to be build at Disney's Animal Kingdom for Beastly Kingdom. During the ride Guests would enjoy musical segments from the Fantasia films and pass by show scenes and water fountains based on the various scenes of the movies. To expand on the idea, we could make it a sort of Splash Mountain type of ride.
- The Pines of Rome: This could be a very cool simulator experience based on the Flying whales from Fantasia 2000. I imagine a very smooth ride with the vehicles moving along to the Pines of Rome piece.
- The Chinese Dance: A spinner flat ride based on the dancing mushroom scene from Fantasia in which Guests board vehicles themed as mushrooms and then dance to various songs of the flower segment. It could be a trackless ride with various shows like Luigi's Festival della Tires, but something more simple, yet themed right could work as well.
- Pegasus' Flight: A spinner ride based on Pegasus' family from Fantasia. Guests would board carriages held by one of Pegasus' children and fly around a Pegasus nest.
- The Firebird: A mountain coaster themed to the Firebird segment from Fantasia 2000. It would be Matterhorn Bobsleds meets Expedition Everest but with new technology and features the Green Sprite and the massive Firebird(I could only imagine how amazing an impressive indoor scene featuring the Firebird would be).
Disco District:
A land inspired by disco music, imagine a high-paced city-like square with disco clubs and a lot of disco lights and balls spinning around, reflecting the area.(I know it sounds cheesy, but it's just a first draft)
- Disco Ball Groove: Some kind of indoor flat thrill ride based on Disco Balls. The lights and the sounds would take you on an out-of-this-world groove.
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Galactic Groove: Idk, it could work as some kind of thrill ride featuring all the 70s 80s songs that are popular from Starlord's mixtape.
Rock 'N' Roll Road:
A land inspired by Rock 'N' Roll music and roadside culture, possibly featuring giant guitars rocking the area with sound.
- Rock 'N' Rollercoaster: Although the ride already exists at Disney's Hollywood Studios, it could easily move here and fits the land perfectly. It could fix some of the problem the ride faces, thematically and technologically. I imagine a more general rock n rollercoaster than the existing one with a randomized system of musical artists and songs(possibly even randomized tracks, based on the song you get during the ride?). It would also fix the thematic interruption on Sunset Boulevard, leaving space for a new land or ride for the Studios.
- Radio Dragster Race: Although bikes would better fit the Rock N Roll theme, I feel like it could be cool to have a more Radiator Springs -type of ride in which special cars race on rock n roll music. Possibly even making it a bit sci-fi like, making it more 50s like.
Music Land:
Possibly the central land of the park, based on the 1935 Silly Symphonies short Music Land. Walk around this highly immersive area and it could even serve as a nighttime spectacular, based on the war between The Isle of Jazz and The Land of Symphony featuring a lot of sound, fireworks, moving sets and water effects.
- War of Music Land: An interactive attraction where Guests choose the side of either the Isle of Jazz or the Land of Symphony and use instruments and sounds to battle the other.
- The story of Music Land: A boat ride revolving around the story of the Silly Symphonies short. I imagine a cool section based on the Sea of Discord in which Guests might get soaked.
- Land of Symphony Waltz: A trackless spinner ride inside the ballroom of the Land of Symphony. Vehicles would dance or waltz on classical music pieces.
Blues Bayou:
A smaller land based on the jazz and blues culture of the south, think New Orleans but with a focus on its music and rhythm. It could be a bit like New Orleans Square, possibly making it more fictional with buildings themed or decorated with musical instruments.
- Princess and the Frog: A dark ride, either similar to Na'vi River Journey or the system from Battle for the Sunken Treasure at Shanghai Disneyland through various scenes from the movie, focusing on its soundtrack and the music culture of New Orleans.
- Song of the South: I know we have Splash Mountain at Disney's Magic Kingdom, but just imagine beyond reality. The story is very musical and even the ride itself is somewhat a cruise through a musical critter land. And... it could sort of fix the clash of Wild West reality and the jolly cartoon-ish rides of Country Bear Jamboree and Splash Mountain sort of making the land a mish-mash of everything American and wild west. Maybe this new version could be a lot different, like on a scale of Dudley Do-Right or the technology of Chiapas at Phantasialand, Germany.
A Country-themed land:
Country is a big genre in the music world and opens up possibilities of including a sort of Frontierland in this park.
- A Country Bear coaster or water ride: Again, like said before with Splash Mountain. Removing Country Bear Jamboree to a park based on music, supports this park's theme and could give Disney the opportunity to re-think Frontierland at the Magic Kingdom, be focusing on Wild West legends or more realistic stories. This musical ride would feature the whole bear bunch and a joyful soundtrack based on Country music.
- Banjo Mine Cars: Think Seven Dwarfs Mine Train but with single carts and a more thrilling experience around something like Banjo Hills. I imagine a rickety mine cart ride on the country banjo music, in and out of the mountainous area.
- A wild west wagon spinner: Think Mater's Junkyard Jamboree or Woody's Roundup at Shanghai Disneyland in which Guests board Conestoga wagons held by horse figures and spin around on country songs, whipping the Guests around the ride space.
Calypso Coast:
A south American themed land based on Caribbean and Latin American types of music. This coastal area could be very beachy and offer a more Adventureland-type tropical hideaway for the park.
- A Three Caballeros ride: They could really work out a Three Caballeros dark ride based on Latin American music and especially if Disney decides to change the current ride at Epcot into Coco, it would still be fun to have their presence somewhere. I really like this franchise for the park as Saludos Amigos and the Three Caballeros movies really focus on music and really build visuals on the music.
- Maraccas River Rapids: A river rapids ride based on Caribbean music and its tropical sound. I imagine waterfalls and giant Maraccas shaking and soaking Guests.
Bald Valley:
A land inspired by Fantasia's Night on Bald Mountain. Although we have Fantasia Gardens, we could really expand on this segment and make it either a villains land or a music themed land based on shorts or music pieces like Beethovens symphony and Skeleton Dance, Mad Doctor or A Haunted House.
- Night on Bald Mountain: I imagine either a boat ride similar to Jurassic River Adventure with a big finale featuring Chernabog and a final drop into a lagoon or a mountain coaster, although I kind of have a preference for the water ride.
Chanty Cove:
A land inspired by the songs of the seas. It could be inspired by the tales of Moby Dick and Willie the Whale from Make Mine Music.
- Battle for the Blue: A soaker battle ride featuring mythological sea creatures like sea serpents and mermaids, which Guest can shoot water at(or at other boats) to activate effects. It could also be a bit like Aquatopia with its trackless boat system.
A Fantasy type land or characters land:
This is the area where we could experience stories like Peter and the Wolf, Bambi, Mother Goose, Toot Whistle Plunk and Boom or whatever, but with a focus on its soundtrack and the fact that a lot of the scenes are either based on or very close to its soundtrack or musical piece.
- Mickey's Philharmagic: This could be moved from Magic Kingdom, leaving a new space for a new ride there, and could be re-imagined for this park. The ride screams music and therefore truly belongs here. It could be an opportunity to introduce a randomized system with new scenes like Bear Necessities, Friend Like Me, Under the Sea and Let It Go.
- The Band Concert: A spinner similar to the flying carousel from Disney's California Adventure, Silly Symphony Swings, based on the Mickey Mouse short.
- Mickey and the Beanstalk: The story revolves around the impact of the singing Gold Harp and a ride like this could really focus on that aspect of the story. I imagine something like more worked out version of the Puss In Boots ride at Universal Studios Singapore.
- Peter and the Wolf: A dark ride similar to Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, focusing on how music visualized this story and animated segment.
Other general attraction ideas:
- A Classical Musical Mountain Coaster: Idk I read an idea once about a Mount Rushmore type of mountain range with classic composers as Guests race around the mountains on classical music pieces.
- A signature music ride for the park: A vague image appears in my head when I think of a music theme park, a large opera house hosting The Great Movie Ride of Music. It could either be a dark ride or a movie experience. I imagine something like the more abstract scenes from Fantasia where the sound takes over and color and image are brought to a minimal level to intensify the feeling of the sound.
- Something related to the glamorous 20s, although this might be more for Hollywood Studios.
Other movies or properties that could be used, just a direct thought of a list:
- Make Mine Music(The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the MET, Blue Bayou, All the Cats Join In, After You've Gone)

- Flowers and Trees

- The Three Little Pigs
- Melody Time( Pecos Bill, Little Toot, Blame it on the Samba)
- Hercules(It doesn't have a direct connection to music and a Hercules ride in a new Greece pavilion at Epcot would be amazing, but the soundtrack of the movie and the way in which music tells the story. Especially the more gospel-style aspect of that would be fun to work with.)

- Old McDonalds Farm
We could combine the last three and make something like a meadows/farm type of area
For a parade, I'd imagine something along the lines of Soundsational Parade, but more worked out, no cheap interval floats with minimal theming, these sections felt a bit awkward at the current version.

For a nighttime show I'd either imagine a battle between the sections of Music Land on grander scale, a more general show featuring fountains, color and fireworks dancing to different types of music, somewhat similar to World of Color or Aquanura at the Efteling in the Netherlands or a more Disney involved show celebrating Disney music and music in general, possibly including a climax featuring Ursula stealing the sound, similar to what she did with Ariel's voice in the original Little Mermaid movie.

Lastly on the topic of names for the park, I feel like Kingdom of Symphonies, Musical Kingdom or Music Kingdom would be fine, but simple like Animal and Magic Kingdom. Not that every WDW park needs the inclusion of Kingdom in its name, but its sort of a nice line-up if it fits well with a general theme.
So what do you guys think? Opinions on my ideas? Or ideas of your own? I really see a lot of potential in this!
