I appreciate the responses to my post.
I just wanted to respond to a few things.
I think some folks missed that I posted originally the list for Disney's World Fair in response to another post about creating Disney attractions around old films. Hence, the list is heavy on cartoons and film tie-ins.
There was some concern about the size of the land needed for so many attractions. Yes, not all of them would make it, but Disney has been really clever with using space well. For example, Pirates and Haunted Mansion are pretty much underground while the lines are above ground. By creatively using space Disney can maximize the number of attractions that can be placed in smaller areas. Also, doesn't part of Alice and Toad kind of overlap in the space used? - I thought I read that somewhere on the boards.
Also, there were some comments about the number of dark rides. Fantasyland has Peter Pan, Toad, Alice, Snow White and Pinocchio - 5 dark rides very close together so I don't think the number of proposed dark rides in each land is a problem.
I agree that where possible dark rides and coasters should be combined to create that unique Disney experience as we have seen in Splash Mountain.
There was a comment about getting rid of the Aristocats because of changing modern tastes. I am at Disneyland this week for my annual trip, and have seen a lot of Marie merchandise so I think it could work.
There was one comment about the mixing of countries and continents, and I agree it should be just countries. I would rename the South America section, and call it Mexico. As for Africa and the Middle East, they should become specific countries - maybe Kenya and Morocco (to match Epcot).
I think the one comment about not having countries with just one ride is kind of funny since Germany, Morocco and England debuted in Epoct without an attraction. If necessary, I can see eliminating some lands for space.
I appreciate the feedback. Thanks!
Where exactly in Anaheim would this be, let alone anywhere? Seeing how many lands and rides you proposed, that would require about as much land as Walt Disney World, or all of that together.
In my opinion, I think Disney should not make any rides based off the Marvel movies.
I hope that there is NEVER anything to do with Marvel at any Disney parks!!
Have you ever seen the Marvel stuff at Universal ? its cheesy as hell and has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with Disney.
Disney only bought Marvel to get a piece of the $ pie and rob competitors of using the brand name at their parks or have to pay Disney to use them.

It's not like they would just scoop up the Universal rides as is and plop the into the park. They would use Marvel as a source material and MAKE something Disney out of it!
Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Muppets, and Twilight Zone are not Disney...but look what was created using them.
I am of the opinion that there should be more rides that are original concepts and not dirivatives of other media...but when you have some of the most iconic characters in the comic medium at your disposal...why letthem go to waste when you could turn them into something magical?
Because Marvel characters don't conceivably fit in ANY area of the park.
I don't want Marvel characters in Disneyland, personally. The only ones I can even think of being in the park would be Fantastic Four, in Tomorrowland because the characters are more Sci-Fi than the rest. But Spider-Man in DL? No. Please, no.
As for DCA, I'm not as firm on that one. They would work in the Hollywoodland (Hollywood Back Lot) area. The Muppets building has had proposals for Philharmagic and Narnia, both of which have been dropped. A Spider-Man attraction or some other attraction would be fine here. But seeing one of these characters walking around Paradise Pier or near Grizzly? Again, no.

Re: 3rd Park and Marvel in Tomorrowland
You must be living in Fantsyland... a third park is not going to happen and NO No NO on Marvel in Tomorrowland. DCA maybe, but no on DL
"You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you."

Marvel to me just doesn't belong in the parks, even in California Adventure. It doesn't fit and would look horrible. I also would hate to see Spider Man walking around in the parks next to Winnie the Pooh. Does that fit? Not in the least.
"Well I don't know about you folks, but it's way past my bedtime."
Marvel characters and rides have NO place in DL, DW, or any real Disney themed park. They are only Disney by purchase. Maybe at the MGM studios or something, but not in Mickey's house. Sorry......Muppetvision was okay.
I like Superman and all the rest, but sorry.....that would totally detract from the Disney feel.
Counting the minutes......next trip ??????!!!! (to far away!!!)

Are you kidding me?
The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman is probabl the best dark ride IF NOT the best ride in the world. Theme theme is amazing, ride technology has not been topped after 10 years, hs major reridability, major detail, and is focused on Spiderman!
Don't say Universal is tacky. Have you ever been to DCA? Or how about Six Flags. That's tacky. GRRR, you Disneylanders need to realize Marvel is a great thing for Disney.
I take banner requests!
You need to realize that Marvel is a great thing for Disney financially.
Otherwise, it's a bucket of crap for Disneyland fans -- including those of us Disneyland fans who are also longtime Marvel fans.

Good luck with that, sir. It's an uphill battle in here.
I really don't think that Marvel will find its way into the park. Sure, Marvel has been bought out by Disney, but I don't think they want to show any trace of it in the parks. The two do not mix AT ALL. Disney= Magic, fantasy, dreams, etc. Marvel= Superheroes, violence, destruction, etc. Marvel is almost a contradiction to Disney... no offense to any Marvel fans out there.
4th Trip To Disneyland: June 28th-June 30th!
So many people insist there will no way no how be a third park. I just dont think its true. I really believe there is a possibility of a third gate being built someday.
