Will There Every Be a 5th Major Park?

[flavious27]

First off, wow. Well done. How did you come across that?!?!

And yes, sign me up for one of those shirts too.

It was on the one of the orange county's site,

Then I just print screened and pasted the maps together to get that picture. What is interesting is that the 5 sided property is disney's for tortoise relocation.

Hopefully they get at least a moderate resort. If not, they'll be standing around screaming kids all day long at the All-Star Amphibian resort.

Okay this is something you can take or leave. I saw on one of the other Disney boards a post from someone who claims that the 5th park is the long rumored Dark Kingdom (Villain) park. I know, if we had a dollar for every time someone tells that rumor. But, what makes this rumor fun is that he gave the names of the possible lands of the park. These would include Villains Ville, Ghost Town, Pirates Cove, and Witch Way. I know that it is probably some newby trying to get attention for their self, but I try to keep an open mind about rumors. I thought that the Fantasyland plans were some Disney Geek trying to be creative, but we know how that turned out. I think that sometimes Disney leaks info. to gauge the reaction on the Disney boards. Somehow this rumor seemed like Disney's answer to Harry Potter.

I don't think that a whole gate will be an answer to a 18 acre land, it is bit of overkill. I do think that a 5th gate will be an answer to ioa.

Anyone have lunch with a bus driver or two?

Isn't that why there is still a mcdonalds on property? I wonder what you can hear about by giving a bus driver a mcrib with a shamrock shake.

Agreed. Or they could have a value resort modeled after gray's ferry or Kensington.

Why do people assume that Disney can't both build a new park and enhance and expand the existing parks? I've heard rumors about major expansions at the two parks most in need (DHS and DAK) - as well as about a new park. Also, I don't believe that a new park will be All coasters and thrill rides. Disney has stated they will not do an all thrill ride park. I'm sure there will be thrill rides, as well as dark rides and shows - something for a variety of people.

I liken building a 5th gate while expanding all 4 parks to building the dream and fantasy while revamping the wonder and magic while also adding a second port and complex on cc.

A good 40% of what`s left of undeveloped on property cannot take substantial construction unless you want to watch it sink. The main reason the Meditteranian Resort was never built.

Yes, they could build anywhere in theory but like putting a man on mars it would be cost prohibitive.

The site the Venetian/Mediterranean can still be used for a resort, it just would not be more than 2 or 3 stories tall. Disney would need to erect a caisson around the site, pump out the pond in the center, and deeply excavate the site to pour a stable foundation for the resort. That site is too valuable to not utilize.

I'm pretty sure that method is how all of these rumors come to fruition. Green milkshakes and "beef" products.

To make it more realistic they wont even bother to fence it in. Also, they wont provide trash cans.

The Med was only 3-4 stories high.

Tell Disney; with 3 hotels planned for the site since 1971 and non being built on what you rightly say is such a valuable plot there must be a good construction reason why nothing has happened.

Was it only going to be 3 or 4 stories? I haven't see anymore than a site layout for the med. From the concept art for the Venetian, it looks like they were trying for a 5 or 6 story center building. What other hotel was planned on the site?

I am sure that tdo has looked at how they can utilize the site, it was rumored it was looked at the site for blt but that weight load that was too much. That would be a construction reason for tdo to backburner the site, it will cost too much to stabilize the site for the size building they want to build.

I think that a resort that is a replica of london could be done on the site and would not weigh too much.

A section that is in this style could be build near the waterfront

The lobby and monorail station can be built in this style.

Does that mean there will be a single building on the outskirts that you can get pbr at?

That certainly doesn't hurt.
