#1 - Explain why or why not Disney/Universal/SeaWorld (pick one or do each) need another park to add to what they already have in Orlando, and give ideas about what kind of park it would be.

As months and years progress, the major theme parks in the Orlando area have started to push out new attractions and other amenities in order to entice tourists to return or to visit their parks for their very first time. What is really needed to help further attraction development is another theme park. Universal and Sea World both are set with theme parks. Is it time for Walt Disney World to build a 5th gate?

To the Disney executives I am speaking with today, I believe that WDW has so many potential ideas to make into a theme park, but they are basically holding back due to the current state of our nation's economy. However, I think that a 5th gate could help generate much needed revenue for the country and for the Company as well. Walt Disney World has built a legacy on creating attractions that win the hearts of those who make annual pilgrimages to the 4-park, 20+ hotel-filled resort. Sure, we have received a ton of wonderful (and 1 that is just not so wonderful *cough*Stitch's Great Escape*cough*) attractions, but what really is needed by WDW is another park.

So, Disney executives, I have a proposition for you. Instead of the proposed "Night Kingdom" rumor going around on many fan sites, why not consider this idea-a theme park devoted to the Disney Villains? This is a rumor that has been around Disney enthusiasts for several years now, and I think you, the Disney execs, can really cash in on. The park would be comprised of dark rides and thrill rides, with the major attractions being high-tech, thrilling roller coasters. I haven't thought of a title for the park, so I will leave that to you to imagine.

As you walk into the park, you are surrounded by theming from some of the popular Disney movies which have villains in the films, such as "Hercules", "Sleeping Beauty", and "The Little Mermaid." The rides could be divided up into sections (i.e. the sections of Islands of Adventure) or they could just be left alone with no formal listing under a section name. The major roller coasters should focus mostly on the primary villains, such as Maleficent, Captain Hook, the Wicked Queen, etc. The secondary villains should receive a portion of the smaller dark rides.

I can see what you are thinking. You are thinking, "A villain-themed Disney park with roller coasters and other thrill rides? Impossible! That's not Disney!" Well, Mr. (or Mrs.) Executive, I think you have the potential to make this park as Disneyesque as possible. If you desire to have another "Fantasmic!" show put in the park, so be it. Or, a novel idea-move Fantasmic! from Disney's Hollywood Studios to Villains in Vogue or whatever you want to call the new park. If you consider doing this, then I think this may give you the "Disney" feeling that the park could have if you include Sorcerer Mickey battling it out with the villains. The 2nd idea I had is to create an all new nighttime extravaganza featuring the heroes and villains, where the good guys end up being defeated and outnumbered by everyone's favorite villains? This proposed idea for a nighttime show may help spurn interest and create excitement for Disney villain enthusiasts everywhere!

The addition of a thrill-ride oriented park will entice teenagers and adults who have fled WDW in terms of seeking thrills at Universal Studios (Yes, I dared say the name of the rival park), as well as bring together and unite thousands of Villains fans and engage in ongoing conversations about the unique and well-designed attractions, shows, and theming of the Villains park. I hope that you will one day consider building a park such as the one I have proposed, and maybe you will thank me for proposing such a wonderful park. Good day to you.
