I'd say Moana and the Raft Boathouse. Neither attraction really adds much to the land in general.
Next is the land of the wild frontier, Frontierland. This land will be in between Adventureland and Fantasyland. From the enchanted park hub you will find a gravel path which brings you to a large wooden gate. Around the wooden gate are pine trees which welcome you to this land. An American flag waves with pride in the wind. Past the fort you will find the town of Thunder Mesa, a quite big town which grew from the gold rush. The town lies next to a river, the mountains and pinewoods. The town had a desperate time when there was no more gold to find in the river. The river surrounds an island on which the so known Thunderhawk Hills are. Rising above all, the Big Thunder Mountain attracted the inhabitants of Thunder Mesa to the island. Natives warned them not to set a foot on the island as it is known to be the home of the legendary Thunderhawk and her family. Ignorant miners ignored the warning and went to take a look inside the mountains. Inside Big Thunder they found a nest which belonged to the Thunderhawk. In the nest were five golden eggs. The miners took the eggs without doubts. The Thunderhawk was of course angered by this and the miners never returned because of this. The tunnles to the island are still open, but no one ever dared to set foot on the island.
Thunder Mesa will be similar to the other Frontierlands, but it will be more detailled and will feel more realistic. There will be more use of nature. Around town will be several walk around characters like the inhabitants of Thunder Mesa. Also small shows like a bank robbery or a town dance will play from time to time. In town are various dining options and shops. The first building on the left will be Alexander's Wonder Elixers. This shop will sell drinks and small snacks provided by Professor Henderson who is the creative and innovative mind in town. You will see more of him later. Next to this will be the Thunder Mesa Shootin' Gallery. This is where the cowboys and cowgirls get to train themselves by aiming on different projectiles. Then you will find the Golden Horseshoe Saloon. Inside will be a table service restaurant based on a western saloon with a great Revue playing during your dinner. The show and restaurant will be a dedication to Walt Disney and the original show at Disneyland. Moving on is the Pioneer Outpost, where guests can buy Frontierland souvenirs. The Frontier Trading Supplies will be next to this. The last building on the left side will be the Buffalo Bill Grill, a quick service where you can eat American dishes. The restaurant will be themed to the legend, Buffalo Bill.
Then you will arrive near the entrance of Adventureland. Here, you will find mountains. It will be similar to a Pinewood Valley. There is a house located on the side of the mountains, which belongs to Professor Henderson. If you enter his house you will see drawings and small projects of wood made by Professor Henderson. In the pre-show you will be introduced to the professor. He will tell you about his newest invention which should help Thunder Mesa with mining. His newest invention is a dig machine which can bring you into the mountains. The professor will ask you to board the machine and test it out. Guests board the machine and explore the mines of the mountains. They will find gold in one of the caves, but then.... The mountain starts shaking heavily. The machine will be raised by the Unfaithful, a gigantic geyser inside the mountain which would erupt by small actions taken. The vehicles will be raised above the mountain. When it is lowered the machine ends up on old mine cart rails. This will lead to a thrilling ride. The ride will be known as Geyser Mountain, based on the old design for Disneyland.
A bit further you will find a boathouse. This boathouse was built for the times when Thunder Mesa inhabitants went to seek for gold in the river. Now it rests deserted. Inside will be the Western River Expedition, which will serve as the Pirates of the Caribbean of the park. It will be a western themed boat ride which will be both indoors and outdoors. During the ride you will pass by scenes in the wild west, featuring buffaloes or prairie dogs. You will also encounter banditos robbing a stagecoach and pass by the town of Dry Gulch. There will also be a native american part where guests will see them perform a rain dance. Guests will also be surprised a few times by drops and other thrills. The ending scene will be inside Thunder Mesa Mountain. Here they will find lots of Gold. The final scene will have Thunder Mesa inhabitants thanking the guests for bringing the gold to town.
On the river of Frontierland you will be able to board the Lewis and Clark Riverboat, which is similar to the Mark Twain. The boat cruises along the river and will give guests a tour of Thunder Mesa and its surroundings. Along the way you will see a native american village and a lot of wildlife( never seen before along the rivers of America like wolfs, racoons, buffaloes etc.). Inside the boat guests can find information, artifacts and pictures related to the adventures of Lewis and Clark. Also on the water are the keelboats. These small boats will have live guides and inside will be a radio which tells guests about the nature and sings songs of the old West.
Back to the entrance you will find the Cowboy Cookout quick service restaurant on the right. Next to this will be the building of The Tall Tales of the West. This will be a show with a cast of audio animatronics. They will celebrate the old west by storytelling and singing. Stories like Pecos Bill, Tom Sawyer, Davy Crockett, Lewis and Clark and Paul Bunyan will pass by. Guests will also be able to sing along with songs like Home on the Range, Billy the Kid, Blood on the Saddle and so on. The show will also be a dedication to the old Frontierland tv show parts. Then there is the Western Outfitters shop where you can buy t shirts and other clothes from the Wild West. Next to this will be the Eureka Mining Supplies, which will bring you closer to the river. Here you will find some rocks which lead to the Thunder Mesa Mining Company.
This building will be the entrance to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The mayor of Thunder Mesa has reopened the mines and is now looking for brave miners who dare to enter the mines to travel to Thunderhawk Hills. The greedy mayor only wants to have the golden eggs of the Thunderhawk for himself however. Guests will act like the new miners and board a mine train, which travels under the river to Thunderhawk Hills. Ghost miners will manipulate the tracks and bring you to Big Thunder where you will encounter the Thunderhawk and her babies. Will you be able to escape the thunderhawk's wrath in a runaway mine train? This thrilling rollercoaster will be similar to the Disneyland Paris ride, but not in theming. The island will be quite deserted except for a few trees, animals and natives. Guests will encounter the Thunderhawk three times. It will be a giant audio animatronic which will be accompanied by projections. The ride will use fire, light and smoking effects.
Just out of town you will find Uncle John's Cabin, where guests can enjoy American food and watch over the river in a wooden cabin surrounded by pinetrees. Then another mountain will host the last attraction of Frontierland. This will be the Journey to the West. In this ride guests will find a hideaway of a gang of cowboys who travel around the West. Guests will join the gang and board horse carriages. They will have the ability to shoot a gun which is connected to the vehicle( no real ones, don't worry). During the ride guests will save Thunder Mesa from bandits, escape a stampede of buffaloes and race over the grounds of the wild west. The ride will use audio animatronics and screens. It will be mainly a dark ride, but also includes elements from a shooter ride and thrill ride, since the carriage will react on certain actions in the story of the ride. The Walt Disney Steam Train will pass behind a beautiful waterfall which comes from the same mountain. Next to this mountain will be the Frontierland Train Depot, which is the third stop of the Walt Disney Steam Train. Last but not least, the Ranger's Hideout will be a shop selling Frontierland items for all the cowboys at heart.

I hope you enjoyed the land of the wild west, next time we will travel to the biggest and happiest land of the park, Fantasyland. If you have any comments or suggestions, let me know and I will see what I can do with it.
Wild Kingdom will have a safari boat ride( which will not be similar to Jungle Cruise), but so many other rides too.Thanks for simplifying that, but what does that mean for Disney's Wild Kingdom? I guess we'll just have to wait and find out.
Thanks for the comments! Fantasyland will have 14 attractions, but I think thats a good amount of rides compared to Fantasyland in Disneyland and at the Magic Kingdom in Orlando. You have to take in mind that these parks have to be able to process a lot of guests, because eventhough there's a lot to do on the island, theme parks will be overflown by guests.Great! See what happens if you don't go too overboard on lands?
Remember what I told you when working on Fantasyland.. This is gonna be great...
Could be, but I'm not sure if the song would completely fit the show. I could change it though. Star Wars will be at both Kingdom of Stories and Movie Studios and Marvel will be at Kingdom of Stories too.Nice although would For the First Time In Forever fit better to have both Anna & Elsa instead of Let It Go to tone the overrated song? Can't wait to see what attractions you plan for Star Wars, and Marvel.
nope, no Lucas and Marvel in Walt Disneyland Park. Thanks, I will look into it, I'm thinking of a show which really tells the story of Walt Disney, Disneyland and the moviesSo Star Tours won't be in the Magic Kingdom park like its sister parks nor Iron-Man experience? Plus if you want you could use scenes from my nighttime show Dreams of Disneyland for your show.
its a really great show, but its not what I was thinking of for this park, so I might use small parts, but I really want to focus on Disney history.Disneyland Queensland Resort that has two posts.
I'm not sure yet, if I get to the nighttime show, then I'll let you know.Which segments would you like to use?
