Is there any expectation that the underground tunnel systems is also expanded for this new part of the park, or would that be too difficult with existing layout?
The utilidors is at literal ground level.Is there any expectation that the underground tunnel systems is also expanded for this new part of the park, or would that be too difficult with existing layout?
To me, it would seem like removing/ relocating Small World and opening up that area as a new passage/Fantasyland village extension to the new portal entrance to Villains Land or whatever they will call it... Only remove the back half of the ROA leaving the Frontierland facing part of the ROA in place.... Expand the pat to the left side of the Haunted Mansion back to the newly acquired and filled in land without removing All of the ROA waterway... That section of the park would remain looking as it does without the intrusion of a cartoon franchise facing the historic section of the park... Small World would be the perfect addition to EPCOT...What other attraction is the absolute embodiment of World Celebration? They could do a new take on the Mary Blair facade with new tech and have another show and lighting opportunity.
This is what I'm talking about long term in an ideal world. Would need to remove part of Belle's Village (either Gaston's Inn or the store or bathrooms or all of it) to create a guest bridge to the new area.
Villains in red. Expanded Fantasyland in yellow. Guest walkways in blue. The path over Magic Kingdrom Drive would need to be a bridge over that road.

Not exactly on this topic, but there are 4 smaller pads that are more likely to get a new attraction before any actual expansion: Stitch pad, Speedway pad, Galaxy Palace Theater Pad, Adventureland pad. The next new attraction at MK after Villains will go in one of those places.
I expect Stitch next. Something could slowly be shaping up.Not exactly on this topic, but there are 4 smaller pads that are more likely to get a new attraction before any actual expansion: Stitch pad, Speedway pad, Galaxy Palace Theater Pad, Adventureland pad.

I currently have a prayer circle set up, black goo from Prometheus, the whole set up. I just know they're looking into the area for development.Please tell me it’s aliens ip related !!

I think DHS is the better option. Though with Villains being introduced in MK, perhaps they can finally shed some of their saccharine sweet kiddo park branding and add back some of stuff for "all ages" including the more mature offerings.I currently have a prayer circle set up, black goo from Prometheus, the whole set up.

Yep, now is the best possible time to do this.Honestly, if they are hell bent on spending money to replace things instead of build on undeveloped ground, this would be the #1 thing to do. Put IASW in WS in Epcot, put in the Tokyo Tangled ride next to the bathrooms while creating a path to future Villains while opening up a ton of space for future FL expansion in the future.
Do you mean that there would be paths on both sides of Haunted Mansion to Villains?Any plans I‘ve heard of have those two connections. Works for our SWGE, Pandora, and TSL.
Isn't the move just to do themed gates through the access road? That's common, no?It’s not really possible because they need to keep that road into the Utilidors. You’d need an enclosed guest tunnel. I can’t see that happening. And that doesn’t even account for fireworks issues. These kinds of issues are part of why RoA has to leave to make this work. But, there will still be space for expansion when they’re done.
On roads that need less frequent access than that one. The goal would be to avoid closing a guest pathway multiple times each day.Do you mean that there would be paths on both sides of Haunted Mansion to Villains?

Thats only used for roads that don’t need to be accessed during park hours.Isn't the move just to do themed gates through the access road? That's common, no?
I'd love Alien in WDW as a whole but I'd greatly prefer DHS yeah. I wouldn't mind Nostromo in MK though. That'd be a good fit.I think DHS is the better option.

I don't know if it's gonna be Alien, some other IP, I just know the space has eyes on it. For all I know if could be like, a meet and greet space or something.
