Where do you want disney to build?

[randomDisneyFan3000]

based off of the Michigan thread, where do you want disney to build a american park?

This thread is just for fun, and you should not think that disney is thinking of building any where else in american.

[Cheshire Figment]

I still have several souvenirs from Disney's America. Not just some of Disney's promotional materials, but since it was only about 22 miles from our house we went out and walked the land. Since part of it was a played-out quarry, we took some small rocks and pebbles and declared them the first souvenirs of the forthcoming park.

[MJMcBride]

I'll vote for my living room which is about as likely as the other choices

[Uncleromulus]

Is it politically correct to say Brazil???
If not, forget I said it.
As for the US, I'd much rather see them do better with WDW and forego any new parks

[KYMickey]

Instead of building someplace new Disney just needs to continue to keep the parks it has updated and maintained! Doing anything else will just further dilute the little bit of money they're spending on the Parks.

Where was this suppose to be located? I would love it if they would build Disney's America in Virginia.

[Cheshire Figment]

It was approximately 3000 acres at the Northwest corner of the intersection of I-66 and US15 next to Haymarket, VA.

[jfinke]

Keep building at WDW. The infrastructure is already in place. It is relatively cheap to get to Orlando.

[~disneydiva~]

i would say the texas area maybe even oklahoma.

for all us in the middle of the country we have to drive to either one of the coast to do a disney park. a park in the middle of the country would be nice and give others a chance to do disney more ofton. most cant afford to drive half the country every years or a couple of times a year. we would love to go more ofton but just the getting to D.world or D.land is half the cost for us in the middle of the country. if a park was in the middle it would provide a chance for more of us to do disney more ofton.

[gymnastgirlflips]

Yeah, being in the middle of the country is not as fun. I bet I'll end up moving to Orlando or somewhere close to that area just to be near Disney World. It would be nice if they made some sort of Disney park near Texas. I dont think that will happen though, especially not now. I would much rather them update the parks already open and keep them nice though.

[Padrepride]

I'd like a Disney theme park in San Diego please:laughing: I have always loved the idea of Disney's America, but a new park for Disney is probably a couple decades away. They still need to fix up California Adventure, Animal Kingdom, and the Studios.

[matthew&haleysmom]

Thanks! I didn't realize where Haymarket, VA is located. Makes sense when I looked it up and it is in Prince William County.

[Chuck S]

Give the expense of building and operating a new park, they would need to pick a location that has year round decent weather. Smaller regional seasonal parks really don't seem to be financially viable, as evidenced by the Six Flags financial mess. Kennywood, and older parks, where there is less debt to service because the majority of rides and attraction have been paid for long ago, can operate seasonally...major parks need to be open all year, and be in an area attractive to tourist.

Ha Ha! I was also going to say Brazil :lmao:

But seriously, I agree that it would be better to simply invest in what they already have in FL and CA.

I want them to build in a little place called Disney's Hollywood Studios in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It would be a great place to put some attractions

[CoP Luv]

Anywhere that is close to Chicago!!! :cool1:

[WI WDWGIRL]

How about Milwaukee? There is nothing to do here but eat and drink.:rotfl:

I totally agree..:thumbsup2 there's so much they could do to improve HS with more attractions.

[Disneyfan71]

Well I guess Disney America will never be...and it's kinda sad too.

I wish Disney would have built a park down in Myrtle Beach, SC rather than a park the totally BOMBED!!! I honestly think Disney would have done MUCH better but then again I'm no expert.

Are you referring to the Hard Rock park? From what I've heard is doing pretty well considering the it's in its first year. Crowds have been good and some of the rides are fantastic!

OT, I know but HRP failed and died a miserable death- the owners filed bankruptcy and are looking for a buyer for the park. Putting this post back on topic though, I don't think Disney could have done much better at Myrtle Beach as there is no major airport and the operations would have to be seasonal.

[tlynk]

I vote for Texas- lots of relatives living there.

[RustManFan]

I would like them to actually put some STUDIO back in DHS! Working sound stages built for nothing! Animation building not for animation work?

Yes, I vote that they spend $$ at DHS (not on thrill rides) to update it and make me want to visit. I usually skip this park when I visit WDW.

[Sir Robin Hood]

I agree with one of the pp's about a location near Myrtle Beach. There really are no good theme-parks near that tourist area. The Pavillion was a hole in the wall, and Hard Rock park lasted 3 minutes. They desperately need the mouse!! :cool2:

[CaptMarge]

I agree they should build one in Texas. The weather here is actually not all that different than Florida in comparison. In the summer we have the extreme heat without the humidity and daily storms. And in the winter we have the mild cold, without the humidity and daily storms. We are central to many other states and with today's economy and outrageous airline prices Disney could possibly draw in even more people with a meet in the middle type park everyone in the Central US could afford to drive to.

[Padrepride]

I'm not ruling out a Disney's America. It's just that we can't realistically expect it until the 2020's. Maybe they can put it in Texas.

Atlanta!!

[pallred@lhcn.org]

I know that this will probably never happen, but I would love to see one in Houston! I mean the weather is practically identical to Orlando and they could keep the park open all year!:cool1: AND...I could have an annual pass and go every week!

I checked once, and it appears as though the entire footprint of the Magic Kingdom (including a good portion of the behind the scenes sections) would fit within the footprint of Mall of America. This isn't to say that they have plans to "gut" MOA, but a similar structure could be built anywhere to adequately do the job.

While building an indoor Magic Kingdon might do little to satisfy "purists," it would probably do quite well in the colder sections of the U.S. If there's one thing that MOA, some of the huge water parks in the Wisconsin Dells, and the West Edmonton Mall have taught us is that there's a demand for such structures during those cold months we have to endure.

Just a thought...

[mitros]

Ocala, Florida, as Walt originally planned until his guys told him it would be too cold. I could then get to WDW or, it's equivalent in 20 minutes!

[Rora]

I voted Virginia!

[miprender]

I voted for Virginia too... then it would only be a 12 hr ride. But dumb question what is Disney America???

[DOOM1001]

Except for the slight possibility of Disney taking over Sea World in Orlando and Busch Gardens in Virginia,I doubt Disney would build a park outside of Florida in the US until they work on their current parks and then build a 5th gate in Orlando!As far as taking over the Busch parks, Busch in Virginia and Sea World in Orlando are probably the only ones they would even consider as they are nice parks in good locations as compared to say the Busch park in Tampa which is a nice park in a bad location.I actually would like to see what Disney can do with the Virginia park and it's European theme and maybe they can add a second park in Williamsburg with the Disney's America theme.Now the only question is would Disney have an issue with the parks rollercoasters as they are not what Disney usually has in their parks.If they do they should stay away as they are great coasters that shouldn't be messed with.

[Mocharilla]

I live in MI, so I have to go with that.

Maybe it'd help our economy that's in the toilet, with the big 3 and all their issues.

[doubletrouble_vb]

I voted other because now is not the hour to be building.

[Sorahana]

I said to build it in Virginia where Disney America was supposed to go (or whatever the park was called). It seemed like an awesome idea.

[enchantingodin]

I voted other as well. I think Australia would be kinda cool! Like a DL/DW park then say a AK type park too...

Either that or I think they could/should build an Australia 'land' in AK OR Epcot... ya know in that dead space they call 'outpost'. :idea:

[mickeyfantroy]

Nashville! Music City USA just hasn't been the same since Opryland closed. Disney needs to go there, bulldoze the mall and build it better.

[King Triton]

Disney is an American Icon so why build outside the U.S.A? Mickey needs to stay here. It's like China building a copy of the Great Wall of China over here to make money - it's just not the same. :lmao:

Now, being from Texas this is going to sound bias. I would build a park here in Texas. :woohoo: Why? Well, we have Disney on the East coast and on the West coast. The next logical place would be in the middle, right? Each place has it's pros and cons. Yes, it gets hot at times here but it gets too cold up north too. My vote is for Texas. We have lots of land for lots of Disney magic. :banana:

[yitbos96bb]

I would doubt that Disney builds in a cold place... especially after the Chicago properties didn't work out too well.

I go for NONE OF THE ABOVE... USE THE MONEY TO IMPROVE THE CURRENT THEME PARKS.

There ya' go..:thumbsup2

[barwalzun]

Speaking of where to build the next Disney, I've heard rumors around here that Disney bought up a bunch of land in one of our northern suburbs. (I'm from the Dallas, Texas area.) Has anybody heard of anything like this??:thumbsup2

[acm563]

Interesting thought of course and not likely to happen but of course I say VA :) There is much speculation about the closing of Busch Gardens, Williamsburg due to the new buyers not wanting to deal with amusement parks.... (hey, a gal can dream cant she....lol)

[disneybridetobe]

cr@p... I'd like to say Brazil too...

Hey, Walt actually wanted to put a dome over the MK in Florida. I Wonder, if he lived if he would have tried that idea?:confused3

[mitros]

Is it politically correct to say Brazil???
If not, forget I said it.

Don't be afraid to say what is not "politically incorrect" I for one have had it with that term. This is a free country still, isn't it? Free speach, remember? My fathers good friend perished overseas defending our right to free speach. {getting off the soapbox now} As for Brazil, maybe that would keep those noisy, rude tour groups home! :thumbsup2

[Uncleromulus]

I was thinking along those same lines---

[myrtlepmur]

never bought the Tshirt. :lmao:

I would love to see an indoor MK in the Great Lakes states and I would actually go. However say "indoor theme park" to anyone who lived in Chicago in the 70s(as I did) and we will all laugh.:rotfl2: If the name "Old Chicago Amusement Park" doesn't mean anything to you just google it. I road my 1st roller coaster at Old Chicago. Old Chicago opened shortly before great America. Who would have thought that the amusement park that could only be open 5 months out of the year would outlast the year round park.

[Tink's Tormentor]

I want them to build a huge park right here in NJ!!!! Nothing like riding Splash Mountain in a blizzard!!!!

[cinderella_girly]

Nj/PA/Va/Ma/NY

I'm tired of driving all the way to florida, and flying is boring.
-BUT-
I do like the idea of one in brazil.
They always run around screaming and being rude.
Oh-
And talk about ruining the magic. When we where at fantasmic, all the brazilians stood up and started singing their national song. Right there!

[Ron from Michigan]

I do not think Disney will build any more parks in the US. They would take away from there parks in Calif. & Florida. I would think they would be looking at South America for there next parks.
