Will WDW ever make a new theme park????

[arsenal3]

Just kinda an interesting fun topic to talk about.


Personally I think they should, they have the money and the land to do it. And if they did they would attract so many more people.

What do you guys think??
What do you think it should be called and what main rides would there be??

[WDW24]

I think that would be a wonderful idea, it would definetly attrarct more people to the world!

[caryrae]

This has been asked a few times and it seems most people would not like to see a new park but would rather see them keep putting the money and time into the current 4 parks.

[arsenal3]

I would love to seea new park. But I would also like to see the countries in EPCOT re-done and myabe ad a couple more countries.

[bertasso59]

I think 4 parks is enough(maybe even too many).I would rather they spend time and money expanding the parks where they can,more lands in EPCOT(maybe Australlia,India,Egypt)more to AK(like the long ago planned Beastlie Kingdom).That way there are more attractions to spread out the crowds withen each park. I wouldnt mind a whole new Disney complex,maybe in Texas.

[MickeyMousse]

Always thought that a marine world themed park would be fun! But I would also like to see World Showcase expanded with some new conutries added.....can't I have both???

Why would they want to build a fifth theme park? People are already spending thier full week's vacation at WDW.
If they built a fifth theme park, people would just be asking when is the sixth theme park being built.

[crazeedizneefinatic]

I personally would not be interested in a new park. They built Animal Kingdom and for us it's a big let down. We only spend 1 day there at best out of 8 and we are happy with that. Yes, there are some great things there but nothing I would want to go back for. No offense to those who enjoy AK. I could not imagine what the parks theme would be? Don't know if we would have enough time to do another park. We concentrate on 3 and can do it in 8 days comfortably. Anything more and I would need a vacation from our vacation, LOL!

Like others have said I would love to see more countries in Epcot! That would be awesome!

Disney had inquired about a possible Americana/Liberty Square/Main St type of park up my way around the Philly area a while back but it never materialized. The people in the area were really put off by the idea and it was a pretty hot news story too. One downfall is that it would have just been a seasonal park. That being said, I would not mind seeing another park along those lines in WDW. Only 1/3 of the land they own is developed and another 1/3 is set aside for conservation which leaves quite a bit left for whatever they dream up next. Although, I am perfectly happy with the four parks there now and would rather see Disney improve and grow what they already have. I always get excited when I hear of the new resorts/attraction/projects going on down there.

They did the same thing in the Williamsburg, Va area at one time with the same result..(our tour guide was very happy to report that the community rejected the idea and did not want American/Virginian history to be "Disneyized")..but if Disney were to buy the Busch properties (which includes Busch gardens Europe)...they would have a foot in the door in that area for a Colonial styled park...I don't really think its got a snowballs chance in Hades of happening...but this is a purely speculative thread.

i was on the bus going to one of the parks and the bus driver said that they were either going to make a pixar themed park or a black and white park(like for steamboat willie). who knows if what she was talking about is true but i think both of those ideas sound kinda lame.
because one...little kids wouldn't know any of the characters back when steamboat willie was made so they mite lose sum business there. and...two i don't think they should make a pixar themed park because they already have alot of pixar things in Hollywood Studios and people won't want to go from park to park seeing the same things over and over again.
if they do make a park it should maybe be villian themed because they don't have alot of stuff based just on the villains and they do play and important part in all the classic disney movies.

[FTDW Poly 08]

I think that a new theme-park would be great if they have a GREAT premise for it. I'm sure it would be something off-the-wall such as some sort of virtual reality computer-type stuff.

Regarding Epcot and countries, I was actually letdown by our tour of the countries last week (our first Disney trip). It just seemed like an opportunity to spend money in shops. I talked to a number of people from those countries and they said there's really nothing overly cultural about the experience. I just didn't think my family got a lot out of it. The best part was the Norwegian boat ride.

FTDW- When my famly wen't to WDW in June we wen't to the England pavilion and met a guy who is in the next Harry Potter and he is a Duke of England, he is a nephew of the Queen I beleive. It was real cool to meat him. I went around asking prolly about 15 other CM there and they all confirmed it. Personally I think seeing the buidlings is the only other cool part of the countries, they really need to be re-done.

As far as other themes go I was thinking it would be cool to have a Past type of theme park, kinda like how epcot is based on the future they could have one based on the past. They could have diffrent rides that show historicaly important events and then they could have ,kinda like the countries in EPCOT, big cities from past times, like: a mini rome, Athens, Sparta, Hong Kong, old time London, an early U.S. colony, something with the Incas, Aztecs, or Myans, you know those kind of things. Granted it would be hard to make these things into Disney orintated rides and what not, but it would really be the same idea as EPCOT only instead of the future it would be the past.

Another theme may be a sports theme park.

I do kinda like the pixar idea, but with that I think that they would need to take out all the other pixar things and put them in one theme park.

As far as the black and white theme park, I dont think that there is enough to have one of those types of parks, that one would be real hard to make.

[CaptainJessicaSparrow]

I hope not. Really. I'd hate to see Disney open another park.

You guys complain of not having good CM's now? Imagine having to find ANOTHER 10,000+ CM's to operate, maintain, and control the park. Yeah, it'd be near impossible, especially since Disney isn't competitive at all when it comes to pay.

Nope, I'm one of those people who believe 1000% that Disney should never open another park here in Florida. Expand the parks now, refurbish a lot of the attractions that need lovin', update some rides, add new ones. But not another park.

[ParkMan]

I have to agree.

I'm in favor of expanding the existing parks. There's so much potential in the existing parks that has yet to be realized.

Epcot - many great science & engineering themes. a lot of countries that could be added.
DHS - so many movie & entertainment ideas
AK - they've only scratched the surface on animal themes.
MK - well, the skies the limit there!

I would like to see new hotels connecting to EPCOT themed after the countries represented there. They've done such a great job recreating each country, IMO, I think themed hotels would be awesome.

[arsenal3]

^^^^
I thought about the themed hotels as well. That would be a great idea. Each one connected to the countries. The only thing is taht each one would have to have there own entrance maybe in the back of the country, witch they could make it blend in and look real cool. I think that would be a great idea.

I also would like to see more rides and alot of refurbishment to current rides. Alot of them need attention. There are so many ideas for each park. FOr instance how cool would it be to see a Greece pavilion of Autralia pavilion over the water right as you enter the world showcase in Epcot. That would be awsome.

[goofy-4-disney]

For this reply I'm just strictly thinking as a Disney executive (not that I'll ever be that lucky) but I really don't see the need to add another park. If they add another park, the price for the nightly resort stays would have to be raised along with the hopper tickets. So I'm all for either refurbishing the existing parks or adding new themed resorts. I like the idea of resorts themed after countries represented in EPCOT, i think the skys the limit with that. Either way, I'll always try to get to WDW as often as possible.

I'm really sorry, but I think this person was joking with you, there is no royalty in the next Harry Potter film, I've searched the net, and also if there were, it would have been all over the british tabloids.
We don't have "Duke of England" here, Duke's, in England are Duke of Counties/Cities such as the "Duke of Devonshire" or the "Duke of Birmingham"
Also, the queen only has 1 nephew... Highly unlikey that he would be in the new HP film.

(It's the United Kingdom Pavillion too, not the Enlgand pavillion)

[Wickster1970]

Instead of adding more parks, WDW needs to tweak what they already have.

I would love to see a refresh of EPCOT and, of course, add more countries to the World Showcase. I like Arsenal’s idea of creating themed hotels linked to some of the countries. I can already see an England resort including Medieval Times like shows and such.

The Studios could easily be doubled in size. Look down the road at Universal and what they have done.

Any additions to Animal Kingdom would have to be on a Sea World slant.

The Magic Kingdom would need the least tweaking IMHO. It could become something like a Disney Classic park.
