The return of a Disneyland in Brazil - in a new location (open brainstorming)

Wouldn't they all be similar anyway? Plus I would suggest take one attraction from each park, and add a few originals that could similar or its own. Plus there's also Jessie's critters carousel at Pixar Pier.

Yes, I thought of including Jessie's Critter Carousel for this land, and I even thought of replicating that for the Toy Story land at the Studios, as well, since it's so light in terms of things to do there. The only problem with this here in this park is that there is already a carousel (a copy of the Fantasia Carousel from Shanghai) in this park.

Magic Kingdom has Magic Carpets & Dumbo which are the same, and in the same park.

Yes, but the Magic Carpets ride is decidedly unpopular with the fans here who want it gone.

So then the other challenge becomes what to put in this land? Different versions of the land each have their own lineup of attractions:

PARIS AND HONG KONG:
-RC Racer
-Slinky Dog Spin (known as Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin in Paris)
-Toy Soldier Parachute Drop

SHANGHAI:
-Rex's Racers (basically RC Racer, but controlled by Rex somehow)
-Slinky Dog Spin
-Woody's Round-Up

ORLANDO:
-Alien Swirling Saucers
-Slinky Dog Dash (a kiddie coaster, not a spinning ride)
-Toy Story Midway Mania

So with that, I'm trying to come up with some ideas for this land. My main challenge is trying to keep this so it's not too similar to the one in Florida in particular, but I don't want to just replicate the other versions out there, either. It should be at least somewhat different.

And by the way, I think the one in Paris is not technically its own land, either, but a subsection of Toon Studios.

I'd go with Paris's Racer and Parachutes and the Slinky coaster from HDS

RC Racer is a roller coaster of sorts, too, so only one can be built, I think.

If you don’t mind me intruding, and if you want to go with a grander/more immersive TSL, you could have Woody’s Roundup as Fantasyland Style Dark Ride, Slinky Coaster but more like the original plan than the current version, and maybe Shanghai’s Buzz?

I'm not sure. I think the only thing I can agree on, maybe, is the Slinky coaster. I can't really decide on anything else. There is a Buzz ride in Tomorrowland in Shanghai, and there was (but not anymore) a Buzz ride in Hong Kong, and both parks have Toy Story lands as well. So I really don't know. I would probably have either the Woody's Roundup dark ride or the Buzz ride, but not both. Also, the Woody's Roundup ride would probably work best as a Frontierland dark ride, just as the Buzz ride is typically in Tomorrowland.

I agree with you, and thought of that, however, from what I’ve read that to some it feels weird having Buzz outside of TSL and in TSL, something that I agree on, so while typical of Tomorrowland it would work better than having it in and out, another option could be the Alien Whip Ride instead of Buzz shooting. As for Woody, he already has a Whipe Ride that could fit in Frontierland, changing Woody’s Roundup into a small dark ride, would only be an improvement, remember that in DHS original plan, a Woddy Wild West area would have been in the entrance. However this is just my opinion.

I could be mistaken, but I believe they tried to duck the issue of the Buzz ride AND the Toy Story land in Hong Kong by simply NOT having Buzz in the land at all.

I think it would be pretty cool to have both RC Racers and the Slinky coaster in the same area. An idea to use both would be to have them interceptor and weave through each other. I'd like to see Woody's Round Up from Shanghai, and an alternative idea of Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters. Make the ride a two-track shooter - guests can choose between Buzz's path, or Woody's path, with a space or western theming.

No, I think it's overkill. As for the dark ride idea, it sounds cool, but if it happens, I would like it to also happen elsewhere, too, like either in France or Florida, both of which have the Buzz Lightyear ride in the castle park, and Florida getting another entry into the Toy Story midway ride.

this is pretty interesting, the only thing I'd like to add is maybe setting Main Street in a specific time and place culturally as it's meant to be a sort of thematic anchor point to the park. Like perhaps setting it as a Brazillian street from the early 1940's? (Which was when Walt Disney and some of his artists visited Brazil in a diplomatic visit). The park's castle could then have a more Portugues influence or even resemble that of a cathedral as a nod to its historical influences from Portugal.

This park's Main Street is already having a "whimsical" theme to it and even a new name: Dream Street. I've also decided to base the castle on the new design for Hong Kong, which is to say it will be partially based on the Disneyland castle.

I need to finish what I started. I guess I will leave Toyland aside as a later addition.

Finally, we have Tomorrowland, and right off the bat, we have the usual spinning space-themed attraction, presumably titled "UFO Zone", with the vehicles being themed to UFOs, like in Hong Kong.

Another attraction is a new version of Space Mountain, called "Space Mountain: Foguete Para Marte" (Space Mountain: Rocket To Mars). It is basically what you would get if you merged Space Mountain with the old Mission To Mars attraction or Mission: Space.

I can not imagine this rides working together. It seems two completely distinct rides. Could you elaborate a little bit more what's in your mind?

Here's a shot of Hong Kong's Tomorrowland, which should provide some idea:

I'm pondering also a dark ride similar to Buzz, but themed instead to Hero's Duty, one of the games in "Wreck-It Ralph". It would also be replicated for Florida, replacing their Buzz ride.

I agree 100%. Hero's Duty (and Sugar Rush) are just perfect to be turned into attractions.

Wreck-It Ralph would make a good dark ride, especially with Wreck-It Ralph 2. Along with that, what about a Big Hero 6 ride? I would think an Omni-Mover style dark ride, trackless or not, as you go around San Fransokyo with Hiro and Baymax.
