where should Disney build it next theme park?

[Kitty 34]

the moon.

Yeah, the rides up there would be quite interesting!!!

 

[DisneyFan32WI]

I'd like to see all 4 Disney World parks expanded. I'd like to see rides from every single movie (lady & the Tramp, Fox & Hound, etc.)

I would say more specifically the Gold Coast rather than Brisbane so it is close to the other theme parks. They could potentially buy out Dreamworld (which has been doing terribly and even looks like a Disney park). I’ve never been (we were SeaWorld AP holders when we lived up there and I haven’t been back since), but I imagine they could just ‘Disneyfie’ a lot of the existing infrastructure. However I don’t think Adam’s idea of a Kali River Rapids style ride would fly at all now in Australia, especially on the Dreamworld site.

I don’t think there will be any expansions in the near future though unfortunately. Shanghai has sucked a lot of money out of the company, plus they seem to be focusing a lot more on updating their existing parks.

What happened in dreamworld was horrible.

 

[AdamEfimoff]

Actually I think Brisbane is the most logical solution for expansion.
It is far enough away from existing parks, it has great year round weather.
It has a major airport that links it easily across Australia, NZ, all the islands, Phillipines, even SA.



Me too.

wow never thought of that. We do not have a big population. But what we do have is a well educated and paid one for the most part. Or am I just delusional

that takes the stakes sky high. Now I want cheese all over the sudden

It is not a huge population in Brisbane. Sydney could be another option.
Either way it’s not just the locals-it is all those who would now have easier access from several countries.

La has a population of 19million.
Orlando a little o we 2 million.
Sydney has 5 million and Brisbane a little over 2 million.

Orlando has around 2 million now, but I'm sure a ton of that is because of WDW, and the community built around it. Did a quick Google search and it indicates that in 1960, the population was around 400,000. In 1970, it was 522,000. From there, it simply exploded after WDW opened, especially in the 80's on as the park really expanded and an entire industry was built around it.

If they were ever to think of doing another park the size of WDW, I'd bet they'd want a small to mid-size city again, with lots of land.

 

[alizesmom]

Somewhere close to me.

 

[Minnesota!]

I wouldn't mind a Midwest version, with a dome over it, of course, so it is always 75 and sunny. Plop it outside of the Twin Cities about 40 miles, and you have all the land you need.

 

[MrJT]

I would love a Disney park right between DL and WDW, like in Texas.

 

[jaybirdsmommy]

Atlanta!

 

[Julie's Haircut]

Northern Virginia near Washington DC. Oh, wait.

I would love a Disney park right between DL and WDW, like in Texas.

Texas is my choice too. Maybe between Houston and Galveston.

I just made some cheesy potatoes if that might help.

 

[KevM]

the moon.

Once Elon Musk gets his Mars colony Disney will be right behind.

 

[Domo]

Seriously?

Southern Spain.

I gather there's a Universal park down there and this, coupled with a lovely climate and cheap land, would make it ideal.

In fact, I don't know why they plumped for Paris rather than Spain. Must be a bit of Governmental wheeling and dealing!

 

[kilroy1966]

North Korea

 

[mrcase77]

I kind of agree with Texas or maybe Oklahoma. They could probably get cheap land, the weather would let them stay open most of the year, and it would put way more people within grieving distance. That or Branson where they could leverage the hospitality industry that’s already there and it still has mild-ish winters and reasonable summers.

Its because the government funded the roads and gave them money. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisneyWar is a. good read

 

[AdamEfimoff]

Nowhere. I'd rather them spend the money on WDW.

yes well when 130 million by oriental land co get spent on a pooh ride. And a lot less in the United States well
