WDW Land Use Concept

[warfelg]

So, no ride concept here but and idea for WDW's land use.

Now I will say that I know I have no idea of what the actual land in these areas are like of if it's even usable. But I'm going to toss this out there.

In the one thread I have mentioned that I think it's high time for WDW to have a 5th gate. Here's my plan for how to do that:
~ This park IMO should go in the more northern part of the property since the southern part already has 3/4 parks.

~ I would bulldoze the old Osprey Ridge golf course. Where the range is could become the grand entrance to the parking.

~ The remainder of the range becomes the land that the park goes on along with parking all the way up to the water of Bay Lake where the main center of the park revolves around this water front. This allows you to take advantage of the water way to connect the new park to MK, Contemporary, Wilderness Lodge, Grand Floridian, and Polynesian.

~ Early on that will be the only additional access, but longer term I would see a monorail addition or a second Skyliner line that connects to up there.

~ Now, I've played all the Disney golf courses and even though it hurts my heart to close one, I got an additional idea that could add to the golf but be more family friendly. There's land between the Wilderness Lodge, the old Airstrip, and Fort Wilderness campgrounds north of the canal.

My plan would be to take this land and make a family golf center. Make your own version of a Top Golf range, a "championship style" short course (all par 3's) that's 9 holes long, and a "family short course" (all par 3's) that can be played without using a wedge. Additionally put in a giant putting green with a putting course, and put in 2 additional putt putt courses.

This giant golf facility would be a great way to make golf more accessibility to the resort for families to give more to do on non-park days.

Overall I think this pulls more action to the northern part of the property and balances some of that out. Then they have a whole new sandbox to play in with these concepts, a new gate to compete with Epic Universe. It allows them in their current parks to focus efforts to what needs to be updated vs replaced.

The biggest issue is the lack of stable ground. They own a lot of land but very little of it is suitable. (see page 2B-20) and when comparing it to page 2B-7 there is very few options for a brand new gate without purchasing new land. One that I hear all the time is removing World of Sports for a new park. But thats another thing that will be removed for something new.

I pulled this over here since the thread it's in wasn't really the appropriate response place.

But the area I suggested for them to work in is usable. The issue they've tended to have beyond the stable ground (which if you look at past information it's questionable if some of the original build was on stable ground to begin with) is more to do with environmental issues from things like endangered species and wetland mitigation efforts to satisfy EPA regulations.

It's kind of a misnomer to say they don't have enough stable ground to build on. They need to be creative in how they use the land, like my suggestion above that they should use a golf course as part of this build to bridge to a more stable piece of land. Then they can use other areas to rebuild, again as suggested, a golf complex that's more family friendly. The great thing about that is that if this is done right, you don't necessarily need a bunch of the most stable ground to build this golf complex out.

if disney world 5th park did get built, my guess its be 20th century fox/studios theme park like the one in genting but better (who knows, maybe they can add the avatar land that is coming to california adventure to the park like how harry potter has 2 areas in 2 parks (soon to be 3 areas in 3 parks once epic universe got built)

Doesn’t have to be all Fox, but they can do more mature without going non-family friendly.

Free Guy could be an area all to itself.
There could be stuff based around Nightmare Before Christmas, National Treasure, a Tron land, Into the Woods. I know some of those and other adult Disney movies were “flops” but they are really cool concepts you van build around.

my name for this park could be something like pleasure island or 20th century disney studios (but Disney Hollywood Studios is here so its unlikely)

Animal Kingdon already has an Avatar Land with a boat ride and a theater ride that is actally rally goof.
