I think Sindbad and a bit of the surrounding buildings and area should be flattened and made into a new water attraction, like Madagascar : A Crate Adventure but with a Mythology theme. Maybe a story tied to the story and characters of Poseidon's Fury. I'm not sure if there's sufficient space, but it's be a great way to keep Lost Continent relevant and able to hold it's own against the other islands.
They won't get rid of Sindbad, re-theme it yes, but get rid of a show? Nope... only sit down show in that park, and every park needs those shows in the peak summer months to eat people.
Great point about the need for a stunt show! Imagine if there were space to put a new one in Marvel :Genie:
LC keeps shrinking bit by bit... First it loses all it's rides, then the games (which fit into the "marketplace" feel IMO). They turned it into a "placeholder" rather than a land/island.
I do believe it is true that if they knocked down some buildings, they could reconfigure whatever to be built anew to feel more complete (wiser usage of the space available).
IDK about the concept of letting WWoHP and Seuss both eat half of LC. More new stuff is good, but having a diversity in the stories being told is best.
I mean they could even keep it LC... the shows and restaurant can stay where they are, just rework the middle area so it feels bigger and more stuff to do.
Am I the only one here who feels as though the Lost Continent is quickly becoming the Lost Cause? After Hogsmead opens, there will be little to retain between WWOHP and Seuss Landing. That said, I cannot imagine that WWOHP be expanded even further toward Seuss Landing without taking over the entire park.
Perhaps the Lost Continent can be rebranded as LOTR.
Agreed, I'm looking at the google map of the area, and wonder how far they will be going to re-theme that part of LC. Will the fortune teller, swords shop, fire-eaters grille remain open?
I do not think they will tear down the stadium(sinbad). Retheme the show? yes .but if you had told me they would tear out jaws before twister a while back I would have said the same thing.
Yes, HTF said that. But it is a very small part of LC being taken out, and the games nearby closed so they don't but into the transition. Marked in red below are the courtyard area, and the closing games.
The problem with LC is that it feels incomplete, and rightfully so because it now is. But they can rework the interior of the land, to revitalize the area and make it feel complete.
Above are just a few examples. They can move the yellow buildings back around where the orange line is, and redo the yellow buildings to be shops and games all the way around. This would make the area marked in brown, which is currently backstage, more gust paths. I think the loop can help, as now it is more like a pass-through unless your going to the show or PF. Then more can be done to both areas leading up to the attractions to add interest to the area too.
Not sure if these have been shared or not and I'm not going through 1200 pages to check
Thanks for these. I've seen the domes many times when the ride broke down, but for some reason I never noticed the projectors at the top. It's cool to see the drawings.
