Well, if you want some tea, Texas is being looked at for a new Disney resort, @marni1971, and others I'm sure can confirm plans exist.

Furthermore, there WILL be animals in Tropical Americas. Even if not at first, the land is going to be opening in phases, even long after the announcements.

Further, there are major considerations for a theme park operator in Georgia. Think the Hunger Games Park but much better and, in the suburbs, rather than not.

Like a new resort as in a new theme park and hotels or a DVC hotel? Cause a DVC hotel can still be considered a "resort".

Did Disney just wake up and decide to make every old fandom rumor from the the past 20-30 years real? HUH?

I just made it to have a place for any discussion so this thread doesn’t get clogged up. Also marni1971 was brought into it so it is kinda a bold claim. I really am not sure about this one

He was only mentioned as someone who "could confirm plans exist". Which may or may not be true, to be honest. He will be the first to admit he doesn't know everything, nor does he know all of the plans floating around inside the company.

That being said... what other company already announced plans for a themed park in Texas... 🤔

The way it makes me worded makes me wonder if it's 1 of 2 things.

1: It is a DVC resort. One in the style of Vero, and in the style of Disney Hilton Head. One that might not be the most "exciting" but it is definitely something that would generate some form of profit that'd be more "constant" compared to Storyliving by Cotino.

2: It's a response to Universal Kids, and the increased tourism market-desire that is coming from the moving of residents of California to regions like Texas. Where businesses are looking to produce in markets where there are the bodies to do it.

If it's 2, then I wonder what exactly would be the scale we would be looking at. With Universal Kids and Peppa already taking the "Childrens-Entertainment" and Six Flags & United Parks taking the thrill--there is a bit of a dead spot for something in-between. Though that begs the question of if they'd want to do a proper "Theme" park in Texas.

If they'd want to risk potential cannibalization that could occur with a "Theme" park in-between the main domestic resort properties. And if they do, could they do what has been rumored to be the strategy of Universal Britain, of acting as something more "complementary" to the parks division.

Definitely interesting to see this kick up again after being in the dumps after a long bit. Even if I kind of doubt it.

Actually a secret third thing:

They could always build Its a Small World in the middle of Texas and charge 50 billion dollars for one ride.

Emergency update due to our beloved Mystic going haywire and dumping a motherload, coming tonight? Tomorrow? Before Sunday?

Map is still being worked on.

Please do not discuss in this thread further, I'm reserving new posts for tracker updates going forward so people can be alerted when I intend to update/post an update.

EDIT: Emergency Status no longer cleared. Just gonna group in the map update with what's been archived from the last two days.
