Expanded Wakanda Theme Park + Emotional Feel



Market Place (The main shopping, food, and rest area): Similar to that of Disney
World’s Main Street, Wakanda’s Market place would be home to merchandise,
authentic african street foods, african art, and more. There would also be rest stops
and plenty of outdoor seating with straw hut umbrellas to provide some shade.
Guests can immerse themselves in the culture and there would be employees who
would come out at different times to teach children traditional african dancing, how
to play some african instruments, as well as performers. This is very reminiscent of
the area in animal kingdom near the Festival of the Lion King Show where there are
small market areas with african influence. This is the main place to get some
delicious food, a good bit of rest, as well as some awesome keepsakes.


Plane Ride (The Big $ Ride): Very similar to the new Pandora ride and Soarin’. You will have a
simulation of flying in one of the aviation aircrafts of Wakanda. You will soar above and around
the city of Wakanda and see all the different places there are around. This ride is a visual feast
for the senses that utilize large viewing screens and an overall story as to where you are going.
Each ride lasts about 6 minutes and holds up to 10 passengers. The seats will move and react
to that of what is happening on the screen giving the viewer the sense that they are really flying.
This would be an easily accessible ride, there being a handicap enabled seat where the wheel
chair would lock into the mechanism next to the rest of the family. This is a spectacle, but not
too thrilling making it a beautiful ride for all ages.

Tour of Wakanda Boat Ride - Similar to that of 'Its a small world' and the 'Jungle Cruise',
this would be a boat ride through the park on the river that goes through Wakanda. This would
be a great leisure ride to rest and see the entire park. You would ride by major landmarks on
a boat that is similar in design to the boats in Black Panther that took the people to the traditional
Waterfall battle ground. This waterfall would be the main attraction on this ride, where there
would be a recreation of this sight to see. You would also see the lab, the main throne building,
the Panther cave, the train system and more. Depending on budget these could be forces scale
versions of these landmarks, or make if like the Shanghai Pirates attraction where these are
projections with a story overall. I am leaning towards this for, like the Pirates ride, it could be
somewhat based on the film, showing a lot of the locations and having an overall adventure,
but if does not need to be a copy of the film.








Kimoyo Beads would act as Magic Bands do in Disney World. Guests can use this to use
fast passes, purchase food and merchandise, as well as their hotel key.

Wakanda Hotel (Main Themed Hotel + The 'Weinie'): This hotel would be 
at the end of the park and represent the main "picture place" of the park, with the 
large panther cave statue behind it in the distance. The inside lobby would resemble 
the thrown room. the floor behind glass with projections to make you feel as if you 
are very high up. As you move further inside, much of the architecture would resemble 
the lab from the movie, using the same artistic style and a lot of blues and silver. 
There would be 'vibranium' sculptures all about the hotel and everything would feel
futuristic from the bedrooms to the toilets. Maybe even a large panther fountain in the 
middle ofThe hotel lobby. The workers would be wearing Wakandan themed cloths 
and you would really feel as if you are staying in Wakanda.


What is the Emotional Ride of your Theme Park in each area:


The Market - The market is a place to enjoy yourself and immerse yourself in the culture of Wakanda. You can eat traditional African food, shop for african themed souvenirs, and interact with performers to learn about african culture through dance and music. This is meant to be relaxing, fun, and educational area for all ages. There would be african art, clothing, accessories and more. The overall feel would be open stalls similar to that of the film. 

Plane Ride - This ride is meant to be the main attraction. It is like a mix between Soarin' and the new Pandora ride at Disney, except you would be placed in one of the Wakanda Ships and all of the windows would be projection screens and the entire ship would move along with the animation. This would give the audience a sense of immersion and awe. It would be beautiful, but with an adventurous tone, much like the Shanghai Pirates of the Caribbean ride. 

Boat Ride - This would be the more calm ride, but still adventurous. You are meant to feel as if you
went through an adventure with Back Panther through Wakanda. Unlike the plain ride which is much more thrilling and action packed, the boat ride is meant to be a visual story that is more like an immersive movie experience than a thrill ride.

Wakanda Hotel - This is similar in feel to the market, meant to make you feel as if you are in the world of Wakanda. Every detail is themed to Wakanda and the workers are meant to make you feel as if you are guests in Wakanda. The food may not be completely African, but everything would have an african flair. The entrance into the throne room being the lobby would make you reel as if you entered a grand palace, making the vacationer feel important and a guest of the kingdom. There could even be someone who announces the family as they enter the first time, much like they do on disney cruises.
