Next Big Park Addition

After Fantasyland, which park do you think will get the next big update/addition?

I'm thinking Animal Kingdom...

I would say probably Animal Kingdom, but my hope is that they'll add another country or two to World Showcase, or put something in a couple of the vacant buildings around that park. I know they're used at times for special events, but I don't see why at least one couldn't get a more permanent attraction put in there.

I would hope that since Animal Kingdom is the newest park that it wouldn't be the next one in line to get renovations. I think Hollywood Studios is long overdue for renovations.

My wish is Animal Kingdom to make it a full day park, although Hollywood studios could have a little spruce up as well

Hollywood Studio's needs it the most. To me AK is fine, and is already pretty big and with a fairly new addition with Asia.

Edit:

Films and TV Shows have come a long way since Hollywood Studios has opened, and HS is showing a lot of age.

I too would love to see Epcot add more countries. I do agree that AK will probably be next making it a full time park.

I thought I head a rumor about an Australia section being added to Animal Kingdom?

I'm going to keep holding out hope they'll get started on the Beastly Kingdom area of AK...or that they finally fix the yeti, heh. Wishful thinking, I know, I know.

I would love to see more at Epcot in the World Showcase since it's my favorite park, but I think that Animal Kingdom realllly needs the upgrade. I love AK and it's a good time but there isn't that much to do and some stuff is just not a draw trip after trip. Last time I only went for a few hours just to to EE and KRR.

I think I agree with everyone here..for personal reasons I'd love to see a new country--since I just adore the countries. I also agree HS needs something..anything..there is SO much they could do with Pixar there that they just aren't doing and Animal Kingdom does need a bit of an expansion.

My thing with Animal Kingdom is that its the newest out of all the parks, and has already gotten a huge update with Asia. Now... I agree with everyone that they need to add something, but I also keep thinking... "Well... why didnt they do it in the first place?" I think they started with AK in the hopes of an extravagant Zoo. But they fell short because they got that... but I dont think thats what everyone wanted. Dont know where I was going with this... guess just my frustration with AK.

I love AK but I kind of feel the same as you about somethings..it seems like they had a bunch of different ideas..oh let's do dinosaurs..and asia..and africa..and a huge tree! I think over time it has become more cohesive but it could use something else to tie it together and make it a "wow" kind of park.

Yeah... Its like they had this idea... and didnt know how to do it. I think they needed to stick with the animals. I like Dinosaurs... even the ride (I think im the only one who does... lol), but think its a bit out of place. I know there "animals"... but id rather much see an entire theme park dedicated to them. Oh well... lol

I love Dinosaur too Smile

I think I'd like to see the new countries in Epcot.

I think I'd definitely like to see either the Australia rumor come to fruition in Animal Kingdom, and tie in some marine life or water exhibition, or more added to DHS. Lots of films to pull inspiration from especially.

I'm torn. I'd love to see some new countries added to Epcot.

I definitely feel like HS could use some updating, but I just feel like AK will be next. Especially since they added Toy Story Mania to HS, they might wait a little bit for HS again.

Ohh..I've never thought about an Australia section in AK..that would be lovely! Especially if they have kangaroos and koalas!

I totally agree! Australia would be perfect for AK. A roller coaster would be good for EPCOT too. They really need some new rides and the "Universe of Energy" is badly in need of updating. My kids thought it was a total bore and my son LOVES dinosaurs, so that was a big let down.

My son who is a big "CARS" fan, wished they would make the Grand Prix Speedway in TomorrowLand - Radiator Springs.

That attraction could use an upgrade too.

I would love them to add a new country to Epcot too!!! Why update Animal Kingdom, I like that you can do it in such a short time. No need to add more stuff to try and choose from!
