As many of you may know, I had planned to combine The Earth and The Living Seas into a single pavillion in my park, to give a more global theme to The Earth, and not focus only on the dry parts. The Earth orginally was similar to The Land at EPCOT, but focused on the Earth itself instead of mainly food and agriculture like the focus of The Land.
Before I get into more details, I have enclosed below a map of the layouts of The Land and The Living Seas, which were created by enfilm from the forums:

Each grid square equals 20 feet in length
The attractions I have inside this pavillion are as follows:
1.) The Earth ride: which is similar to Living With the Land, but with a focus on the Earth itself and less on food and agriculture. This ride also takes a trip through the aquarium tank, in a route similar to those of the Sea Cabs.
2.) Turtle Talk with Crush
3.) Various exhibit areas simiar to the ones at The Living Seas, but also including exhibits relating to the Earth's dry parts as well! :animwink:
In addition, there's the diving chamber which divers enter before diving into the aquarium tank. Also, I have 2 restaurants; Coral Reef and Global Grill (which is similar to Garden Grill, but adjusted for the re-theming), and a gift shop called Earth's Treasures.
Most of The Earth Ride is outside the berm across the railroad track, which will be on the right of the pavillion, in buildings similar to those that Living With the Land runs through.
The main problems I have run into involved placing the attractions, etc. in a well-organized setup, especially the ride area and aquarium tank. Also need help in arranging everything in a matter to avoid serious crowd control problems. I greatly appreciate any help you can give me with this!
