What would be your choice for the next Disney park icon?

I really think mountains work as park icons. They're tall, intimidating, and if large enough, can house multiple attractions.
I could picture a mountain being an icon for a DisneySky or a nature related-park.. Both would really work!
Just don't put Elsas Ice Castle on top..

Good point,
but what would the park's theme be throughout, and what in your mind would be some good specifics of it?I really think mountains work as park icons. They're tall, intimidating, and if large enough, can house multiple attractions.

Lets say we go with the nature themed park.. Kind of like Animal Kingdom but more biome-focused.
Mountains count as a type of biome, so maybe you could double up the icon with a mountain coaster, similar to the Matterhorn?
Alpine as in mountains? If so I think it could work like magic for a 3rd park somewhere. Many things could be used to make it feel full. It would probably be a small park somewhere under 90 acres I would say, but it would be fantastic for maybe a second park in Brazil as they have nothing like that!

What if there was a hotel inside the theme park and the hotel was the "icon"...kinda like the original Epcot city project...however with a theme park built around the center hotel?
Or maybe more of a EMV type of ride, it could go outside and inside, go through the forest, while also going down a couple of slopes and even into a cave. Some type of log cabin design maybe a ski resort is where the queue plus load/exit area would be.

This is what this thread was for people collaborating and coming up with ideas. A hotel could be great. If you have a structure say like the Magic Kingdom's castle, but integrate 1000 rooms into it you could make it huge! Imagine how wide it could be, and frankly it could happen due to money being put in it would be payed for by the hotel, and maybe a multiple story shopping center like in Shanghai.

Disney likes their shopping centers
That would be neat! Like you walk outside right into the park!
I fixed some typos and added information that I meant to add before.

By George I have okay how about a giant oversized Stormtrooper helmet in front the Chinese Theater. It will be temporary for the Star Wars land opening!Over/under 10 of those people will suggest a giant hat be placed in front of GMR

You could have a Pixar park (not Toy Story land)... One of the rides could mimic the balloon at Disney Springs and it would be the house from Up! For the centerpiece, you could have a Super-sized Dinoco Station and it could lead you to the different lands of Pixar... You could take Mike's car from Dinoco to Monstropolis, the Spy jet from Cars 2 could take you to Carsland, etc...
For Pixar I have always dreamed of a Pizza Planet E-Ticket with Test Track technology, but as frantic as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I like the Dinoco Station idea, but for a theme park Icon I don't know how that would work as if it would be a complete gas station. Maybe instead it could be in the entrance area. If they do it they'll probably just use a lamp haha. Great idea would love to visit it in a park now.

There could also be a park icon of Diet Cola Mountain, and every night, part of the show is that the hot springs erupt with the nighttime fireworks. The entrance could be Game Central Station and you then can walk or take moving walkways to different lands around the park.
I like it. Just makes me wish even more Wreck it Ralph was a bigger hit! They could skip Wreck It Ralph and just theme it to video games that would be epic. Although you never mentioned Wreck It Ralph I am assuming you implied it, but either way I'm sold, and would gladly go even overseas.
There could be like this really cool ride, where someone made a virus so strong it had it's own AI and created a physical body for itself made of light (Picture a body but with lightning bolts to represent the parts) He could have a scratchy voice, and your goal on the ride is to stop him by going into the internet. There could be a whole backstory etc.

Yeah, it's definitely Wreck-It Ralph.... In park hotel could be roomed as all different video games and be the building the nicelanders live in... Everyday they could have a show where Ralph comes and throws things off the building and Felix fixes them. Tappers could exist as a quick service... I'd love to see something like the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor but have it Bad-Anon instead.
