Walt Disney's Birthday


Walter Elias Disney was born on December 5, 1901 in Chicago, Illinois. When Walt Disney first opened Disneyland, it consisted of five themed areas:
  1. Main Street, U.S.A. (an early 20th century Midwest town based on Walt Disney's childhood)
  2. Adventureland (featuring jungle themed adventures)
  3. Frontierland (illustrating the western frontier)
  4. Fantasyland (bringing fantasy into a reality)
  5. Tomorrowland (looking into the future)
Pretend that you worked for Walt Disney in 1955 and write an idea for a 6th themed area for Disneyland. Describe the theme for this area and the rides and buildings that would be included in this new area of Disneyland.

I would create Pastland. It's theme would be about the past. The rides would be representing old stories that nobody knew were true. Just like ancient Greek story's. The buildings would be themed the same way. Pastland would be so fun!

I would make a land called Horror Land (it would not be scary). It would have the haunted mansion ride that is in Disney Land right now. There would also be spooky buildings. You could explore the buildings. There would also people dressed up like ghosts.

My idea for a 6th area in Disneyland would be Animal Land. This unique area would feature a wide variety of animals,(lions, tigers,bears, cougars, wolves, and aquatic animals such as fish, seals,and walruses, ect.) in the veiwing area with a kid-freindly petting zoo. The petting zoo would contain cows, sheep, goats,pigs, and rabbits. This large area of Disneyland would consist of 6 mini areas. The first would be the Sahvanna Expedition area. This is where the lions,zebras, gazells, servals and other sahvanna animals. The second area would be Aquatica. This mini area would contain seals, fish, sea birds, and other aquatic animals.(With the ecseption of penguins, as these will be in the Arctic Circle area.) along with a mini waterpark. The third area would be the Jungle Escapade. This area would have jungle animals, such as jungle cats, monkeys, snakes, and birds. The fourth area would be the Arctic Circle. This area would have penguins, arctic terns, polar bears, and other arctic animals. Another area would be Northwest Journey. This area would have cougars, bears, deer, eagles, and other northwest animals. The last area would be Circus. This area would have a theater where trained animals put on shows, and all of the gift shops and rides. (including the petting zoo)
Here are all the rides the area would have in it.
1) "Through a Animal's Eyes."
This ride would have those seats that move and jiggle. You sit down, and watch the screen. For example, through a seal's eyes would have underwater scenes projecting onto the screen. It would seem like YOU were the seal.

2)"Sweet Ride!"
This would be a car ride. You would be given a miniature ranger vehicle decorated witha animal themed hood.

3) "Ride of the Lion"
This would be a awesome, scary, high-speed rollercoaster with many drops, spins, and loop-the-loops. The front of the rollercoaster would have a metal fake lion's head with it's mouth wide open and teeth bared as if it were roaring.

4) "Nature Walk"
This mild kiddy ride would be a little train ride through nature's many wonders. When you get going on the ride, you will go into a forest. A animatronic owl would say,"Ah, there you are! I am Edward the owl,here to guide you on your way to understanding how pretty nature really is! Follow me!" The spotlights apon the owl would fade and the train would proceed slowly. You would emerge into a beautiful golden meadow. There would be animatronic deer grazing calmly. The owl would appear, Fluttering above the meadow. He would recite acouple facts about the deer, then the train would move on. the rest of the ride would continue like that. "Deer eat... Nature is truly beautiful..." ect.

That is my idea for Animal Land.

I would crate a land called Christmasland because it would be fun to play with snow, be with Santa all the time (if you believe in Santa),Have more joy in you,and spend time with your family more. It will be fun to drink hot coco and laugh with your friends too. Have make believe in your heart, have joy,have time with your family,and have gods faith in you. If you have children and have to work all the time, you probably have a day off and you can spend time with your kids at Christmas . And this my creation to you.

I think that Disneyland should have a Dinosaur Land. In Dinosaur Land everything would be themed off of dinosaurs. I would have a ride where you are in a jeep traveling back in time to the age of dinosaurs and seeing what life was like for dinosaurs. On the ride, you would get chased by a dinosaur and sucked into quicksand. Another ride would take you underwater to see how dinosaurs survived in the water. In this ride, you would go under the water in a tube to see fish, sharks, mechanical dinosaurs. There could also be a ride that takes you above Dinosaur Land so that you could see what it would be like if you were a pterodactyl flying over the ground. This ride would fly you under a stone archway and down just above a lake and show you the sharks and fish in the underwater ride. In the center of Dinosaur Land, there would be a dome filled with the closest living relatives to the dinosaurs that once lived.

For a 6th theme of “Disneyland”, I would create a Greekland were you could learn about Greek history. You could go into a giant Greek building and inside was a giant museum were could learn about the different Gods and the different Titan Lords, etc. You could also go into a “sword arena” and use a fake sword against “battle dummies”. If you wanted to, you could put on real Greek armor and with a partner, sword fight each other. You could also play a giant game of “capture the flag” where you could use any (fake) weapon you wanted.
You could also race in “chariot races” where you race on a track sized road. (of dirt.)First you would go to the “horse stable” and pick any horse you wanted. Then you would go to a “chariot stable” and pick a chariot that they wanted. Then you would race around the track 4 times. After you finished, the 1st,2nd ,and 3rd, would get awarded medals.
Then after that, you could go to another building and eat real Greek food.

(In Greek Language)

Για το 6ο θέμα της "Disneyland", θα δημιουργήσει ένα Greekland ήταν μπορείτε να μάθετε για την ελληνική ιστορία. Θα μπορούσατε να πάτε σε ένα τεράστιο κτίριο του Ελληνικού και μέσα ήταν ένα τεράστιο μουσείο θα μπορούσε να ήταν να μάθουν για τις διάφορες Θεών και των διαφόρων Λόρδων Τιτάν, κλπ. Θα μπορούσατε επίσης να πάτε σε μια «αρένα ξίφος" και να χρησιμοποιήσετε ένα ψεύτικο σπαθί εναντίον "ανδρείκελα μάχη". Αν ήθελε, θα μπορούσε να θέσει σε πραγματική ελληνική πανοπλία και με έναν εταίρο, την καταπολέμηση της σπαθί ο ένας τον άλλον. Θα μπορούσε επίσης να διαδραματίσει ένα τεράστιο παιχνίδι του «συλλάβει τη σημαία", όπου μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιήσετε οποιοδήποτε (ψεύτικο) όπλο που ήθελε.
Θα μπορούσατε επίσης να αγωνιστεί στο «αρματοδρομίες", όπου μπορείτε αγώνα για ένα κομμάτι μεγέθους δρόμο. (από τη βρωμιά.) Πρώτα θα πάει στο "άλογο σταθερή" και να πάρει οποιοδήποτε άλογο που ήθελε. Στη συνέχεια, μπορείτε να πάτε σε ένα «σταθερό άρμα" και να πάρει ένα άρμα που ήθελαν. Στη συνέχεια, θα Αγώνας μέσα στην πίστα 4 φορές. Αφού τελειώσετε, το 1ο, 2ο, και 3ο, θα πάρει απονέμονται μετάλλια.
Στη συνέχεια, μετά από αυτό, θα μπορούσε να πάει σε άλλο κτίριο και να τρώνε πραγματικό ελληνικό φαγητό.

I would make a place called Yeti land It would have many unreal creatures. It would have animals such as, Bigfoot, Yeti's, Dragons,and Dinosaurs. Of corse they would just be people in costumes but the rides would be very fun and exiting. It would be very big and really grassy. That's what my 6th addition to Disney land would be like.

My sixth land would be Globe Land. This area would teach kids about geology. One of the rides would be Globe the Globe. This ride would be inside a huge ball. Then the ball starts to spin. Then the globe says "Help, all my countries have been mixed up.I wil give you a clue then you have to find it. If you find it I will let all of you go". My 2nd ride would be Everest Expoler. In this ride you would get on a sled. Then you would go throgh the mountain. Also you would find out not only the yeti lived there but also a surprise. My 3rd ride is Where Do Live?, a ride for litte kids.

I would create a place called
SecretLand. It would be hidden very well, and someone would give you a map that has clues that you have to solve to get to SecretLand. It would have lots of roller-coasters that have pitch-black tunnels that have speakers that play scary music. There would be big drops that go way way down, but then shoot you back up. If I could create SecretLand, I bet that thousands of people would come.

My idea for a 6th area in Disneyland would be Pirate Land. Because each kid will get a map and go at the same time ( so its fair) and see who can find the treasure first. Who ever can find the treasure first gets the treasure! But a cupple more cool things about Pirate Land, one thing is your family gets on a big boat and you eat anything they want. It would be cool so kids are not bored at dinner! Also second there would be every kinda Pirate game you would think of!


SO THATS MY IDEA!

I would create game land. The buildings would be made out of game covers, and huge models of the x-box and even controlers. Differnt game parks would be made like huge mine craft parks. most things would be made out of dimonds.

Matthew S said...

My land would totally be for geeks and nerds. There would be 5 laboratories. The 1st one would be an area to do any experiment you want. The 2nd one would have acidic and alkaline substances to make reactions. The 3rd one would be a subatomic particle lab and the 4th would be A biology lab. The 5th would be an inertia lab. The land would be called ''NerdWorld''.

Adam said...

My idea for the sixth idea would be called sports land. It would be all about sports such as soccer, flag football, basketball, baseball, and swimming. You would go in the rides and the inside would look like the game you chose.When you get completely inside it will look like you are play the game . Sport land is going to be so much fun!

I would create a land called Mid-evil Terror. In Mid-evil Terror there would be 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 rides. Okay, slight exadgerasion, maybe about four.

1."The Flaming Beast":
"The Flaming Beast" would be a ride were you would be riding a dragon, but there would also be knights jumping in to try to stop you.

2.Castle Seige:
A ride were you are sitting in a seat with a joy stick and about five buttons. There would be a big screen with a knight on it, that is your player. They will be red or blue. That is your team color. There would be about 50 seats, 25 red and 25 blue. Red would be seiging and blue would be defending.

3. Castle Tour:
The castle tour would have dungeons that could visit. You would need to go by candle light, since there was no electricity.

These are three ideas for Mid-evil Terror.

If I made another area in Disneyland I would call it Foodland. There will b e rides that include food.(For example cheeseburgers, pasta, lasagna, ice cream, cake, ect.)Here are some rides you might enjoy:

1)"Spinning Pizza"
You sit in a big bowl that looks like a mushroom, pepperoni, cheese, chicken, ect. and you spin around.

2)"Falling burgers"
There will be fake burgers tied to a string and falling from the roof. The point of the game is to not get touched by a burger. The last person standing on the platform gets a real gets a real burger.

3)"Fishing for Fries"
There is a tub with fake fries in it. Each fries has a hook at the end of it and there is a fishing pole that you use to collect the fries. You have only 1 min. to fish as many fries as you can. The person with the most fries gets a pack of fries from McDonald.

4)"I Need my Candles"
There is a board that is magnet and it has a cake drawn on it. You have a candle with a magnet glued to the end. you try to stick the candle on top of the cake. The person that had there candle closest to the middle gets a slice of chocolate cake.

That is my idea for Foodland!
