If they ever do decide to construct a third park, I think a modified “Westcot” park would be their best bet. It should bear some resemblance to Epcot's World Showcase, but with scaled down pavilions, and I’d group the pavilions into six "continents". Also like World Showcase, there would be a central lagoon, but it would be much smaller than the one at Epcot. It could feature characters and elements from various Disney and Pixar Animated films, and could borrow attractions and theming from the World Showcase, Animal Kingdom (Asia and Africa), and Disney Sea (Arabian Coast and American Waterfront).

The entrance and the northern most land would be Europe, and you'd enter the park through a Norwegian castle. "Main Street" would start with medieval German architecture and gradually become French and Italian Renaissance. To the west and east of Europe would be North America and Asia, and South America and Africa would be in the southwest and southeast. The southernmost land would be Oceana, consisting of subareas themed to Australia, Antarctica, and Polynesia. This land could have a volcano similar to the one at DisneySea, which would serve as the "weenie" of the park. A roller coaster in Asia could be themed to Mulan, a raft ride in Africa to Tarzan or Lion King, and a flume ride in South America to Emperor's New Groove.

Hi I'm new to the forms, but I couldn't help but agree with your idea! I would like to add that they should put rides like Expedition Everest from Animal Kingdom and rock'n roller coaster. Not trying to say it needs more big rides but those rides are fairly popular at WDW and DLP and would help.

Thanks. Like I said, it's an idea that I've been kicking around for a long time, although the details have changed. I have finally decided to write a bunch of my thoughts up on a blog. It's a work in progress, but here is the start - http://mythirdpark.blogspot.com/

If you mean WestCOT as a clone of Epcot, YES PLEASE!

Epcot is my favorite park. I an hour away from Disneyland. I would get season passes if a WestCOT was made.

So... why would your deli guy know anything about a new Anaheim park?

Intersting photos here. I'm wondering who owns the land around the Paradise Pier hotel. There is a large parking lot bounded by Katella, Disneyland Drive and Walnut St that could be a good site for a 3rd gate.

I believe that Disneyland owns that parcel of property. I've seen it discussed as being utilized for a new Resort Hotel in the future. It's a little space constrained for future Park Expansion. Though like all things Disneyland related, they must first address parking before using that prime real estate...
