Thanks Orioles and Jeany! (I'm not doing each country seperatly, they'll all be in the following post. Also, I know how one could argue that the American Waterfront could and should be a country in World Showcase, but I felt like the land was too big to be just a sub-land.)
World Showcase-
Stepping off the pier landing, you pass under a bridge and into World Showcase. World Showcase is a land that brings countries miles away from each other within a few feet away. The area is split up into five different sub-lands.
Italy- After passing under the Italian stone arches, you find yourself in a circular courtyard, adorned with lavish detail and statues. This pavilion is relatively smaller than the others. There are no actual attractions in this land. Here, you'll find the Enoteca Castello and the La Bottega Italiana gift stores. You might want to stop by L'orignale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante for some great Italian food.
United Kingdom- In the UK, you'll find a beautiful London square in the rural countryside-via a bustling urban English street, framed by buildings. After entering, you'll find The Crown & Crest and the Tea Caddy shops to your right and left. At the back of the square, The Rose & Crown Pub dining restaraunt is located. To the left of the restaraunt, you'll find Mary Poppin's Jolly Holiday, a dark ride based on the Disney classic. To the right of the restaraunt, you'll find the classic Disney attraction, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. The attraction, which originated in the Magic Kingdom, has been enhanced and modified. Big Ben, the clock tower, is seen nehind the buildings (using forced-perspective, making it seem larger than it is).
Mexico- A tangle of tropical vehetation surrounds the great pyramid, which encloses the pavilion. Inside of the pavilion, you'll find a re-creation of a quaint plaza at dusk (the ceiling is a scrim, with colors projected on it, making it look like the sky.) In the Plaza de Los Amigos, you'll find a variety of Mexican artworks and stands selling handicratfs. The Mariachi Cobre band plays daily in the indoor plaza. At the back of the plaza, you'll find El Rio del Tiempo: The River of Time. This ride takes guests on a slow moving boat ride through the counrty.
Switzerland- You'll find yourself in a lovely Swiss village. Icicles hang down from the roofs of the houses. Mounds of faux snow are placed against the side of the buildings. Here, you'll find the Toy Soldier and the Switzerland Shoppe gift stores. At the back of the pavilion, you'll find The Matterhorn, a rollercoaster through an icy mountain, as a rapid Abominable Snowman is chasing after you!
Canada- This area is complete with it's own mountain, waterfall, rushing stream, mine, and beuatiful gardens of flowers. The Hotel du Canada rises above the land. Inside, you'll find Le Cellier, a great dining experience. At a stand outside, you'll find the Northwest Mercantile. Wrapping around the rocky exterior, you'll find O, Canada! a Circle-Vision 360 motion picture. Next to the ride, you'll find Rine River Rapids, a rushing rapids water ride down the rocky Canadian mountains.
You exit the courtyard and arrive at Volcanic Valley.
Incredible!!!! Although I'm surprised there aren't any chocolate shoppes in Switzerland.
Just because I didn't say the shops had chocolate, doesn't mean they're not selling it.Or did you mean a shop solely based on seeling chocolate.
Sure! If you allow me to put it in the park, I'll do so. I'll credit you when I describe the land/attraction. Did you post it in the "Create a Magic Kingdom ride/ restaraunt" thread? I'm not sure if I remember reading it or not.
Economic Earth (working title)-
Continental Community-
After passing through the entrance turnstiles, you arrive into a large courtyard. In the center of the courtyard, you'll find The Globe. The Globe is a huge spinning sphere (not as big as Illuminations, but still pretty big.) The globe stands within a spouting fountain, and on the globe itself, of course, is the outlined detail of the seven continents. On the pathway, walking inside of the courtyard, you'll see the ground is actually a huge map of the world, spread across the ground of the courtyard.
Surrounding the courtyard perimeter, you'll find various shops to explore. Port of Entry, Disney Traders, and the Gateway Gifts store are all just a sample of the shops there. The World Flavors restaraunt offers a great selection of foos found around the world.
Directly behind the spinning globe fountain, you'll find Planet Earth, a surround screen 3-D movie which features sights, sounds, and smells of the world's most memorable icons and landscapes. The theater is smaller than the other 3-D show theaters, creating a smaller crowd intake. Instead, there will be two theaters. Since the theaters are smaller, it offers a more intimate experience.
Now taht the courtyard has been completed, there is a left and right path out of the Continental Community. We'll take the left path and arrive at the American Waterfront.
One thing, don't take this the wrong way because I'm not saying you're stupid (if so I'd be a straight D student). But the Port of Entry thing is Universal's. (IOA)
Volcano Valley-
You enter into a dark fissure, surrounded by tall volcanic mountains. Each mountain has the ability to erupt randomly, as bursts of fire shoot out from the top. Sometimes, water geysers, lit with an orange light, will shoot up, making it seem like lava is overflowing. The area smells of dusty brimstone. All of the rides, shops, and restaraunts are cleverly sheltered inside each of the volcanos,
To your immediate right, you'll find Fire Mountain (following idea courtesy of Oriolesmagic). The ride takes guests on a tour of a supposed dormant volcano. You will be touring a volcano when it suddenly begins to rumble. Fire and lava begins to rise from the bottom of the volcano. You start a face-paced race through the volcano and plummet down into complete darkness! You'd encounter everything from going over seas of "lava" to almost falling through the floor! The top speed would be 57 MPH.
Next to the ride, you'll find Fire Mountain Grill. The restaraunt is actually inside the mountain. Guests would be able to watch the vehicles go flying by through a window! The menu would include burgers and steaks. The restaraunt is also connected to the Magma Crater gift shop.
Directly across the way, you'll find another relatively known volcano. Journey to the Center of the Earth stands in the tall Mount Prometheus. Here, guests will take a fast-paced thrilling trip to the very core of the Earth and back. On their journey, guests will encounter amazing sights, sounds, and creatures unlike those known to mankind!
Next to the volcano, you'll find the Volcanic Vestibule restaraunt and gift shop. Across the way, you'll find the Lava Flow, a Dumbo-style ride, where guests board rocky crater-shaped vehicles and circle around a steaming, spouting volcano.
At the northeastern exit of the land, you'll start to come across a barrage of twisting, tangled trees. The trees seem to come to life and twist and turn out of shape. Extinct plants and strange sights surround the area. You've reached a forgotten and mysterious era in Earth's past: Prehysteria.
Sorry about the little break I took from this the past few days. But I'm back on track! I just needed a little time to re-think through some ideas.
Lost River Delta-
You arrive into a thick brush of vegetation, which is surrounded by a large flowing river. After arriving into the area, you reach the first sub-land.
The Amazon Rain Forest- You'll find yourself deep within Amazon territory. To the immediate left of you, you'll find the Amazon Jungle Trek, an expedition, in the style of Kilimanjaro Safaris, in which guests embark on a journey, where they encounter live animals. Across the way, is the Amazon River Rapids. Here, guests board rafts and are taken on a bumpy trip down the river that surrounds the Lost River Delta.
At the back of the Amazon Rain Forest, you'll find the Lost River Outfitters gift shop, which stands next to the Peddlers Stand. Next to the shop, you'll find the Butterfly Prism, an interactive experience, where guests enter a jungle room, where exotic, colorful butterflies fly about. Next to the attraction, a Rain Forest Cafe is located.
a bug's land- In this fun area, you seem to be shrunken down to the size of a ant. A strand of grass stands thirty feet tall. A leaf seems to be bigger than a skyscraper. To your left, you'll find Flik's Flyers. Next to the ride, you'll find the Bountiful Valley Farmers Market restaraunt. To your right, you'll find Heimlich's Chew Chew Train, you'll find the P.T. Flea Market gift store. Located at the back of the area, you'll find It's Tough to be a Bug, a 3-D show, where Flik invites guests to enjoy a performance done by all the bugs. The show takes place in a large hollow tree trunk.
Mayan Ruins- Here, you'll come across an abandoned fallen temple. Debris from the standing temple litter the ground. Within the temple, you'll find Raging Spirits, a roller coaster attraction that takes everyone on a high-speed ride through the ruins of an ancient ceremonial site. As you pass by the vengeful spirits awakened during the excavation, the bursting flames, encompassing steam, and spine-tingling 360-degree loop will make it a truly thrilling experience! The ride stands next to Expedition Eats restaraunt.
Across the way, you'll come across a theater surronded by the deep brush of tropical foliage. In the theater, Mystic Rhythms takes place daily. Let the animals and living spirits of the rainforest tell you the tale of this land far from civilization. At the entrance of the theater, you'll come across the Lookout Traders, and the Lost River Cookhouse restaraunt.
As you exit out of the forest, you come across a frigid, icy landscape: Antarctica.
Horrible!!! absolutely Horrible!.....(insert what I always say)
