Looks interesting. You could also have Bowser's castle in there as well and ghost houses to act as ghost trains. How about Hyrule and other Nintendo series areas as well?

I'm a bit confused about Tayce T.'s bakery. Would it be a real bakery selling real versions of Tayce T.'s recipes?

[EpicGyllynn]

-Bowser's Castle is in the works.
-What do you mean "Ghost Trains?"
-Yes, I do have other Theme Park ideas, including Hyrule and PokePark(Working Titles); I also have an idea for Mushroom City, an actual City in the Resort(Think Downtown Disney)
-And yes, Tayce T.'s Bakery will be located at her house in Toad Town, and it will sell real versions of her Recipes(but obviously not all of them).

Are you being serious? You've never heard of ghost trains? o.o

[EpicGyllynn]

If by "Ghost Trains" you mean "Dark Rides", then yes, that's what Luigi's Mansion is.

[Clive Koopa]

I don't know what dark rides are and I've never played Luigi's Mansion. Ghost Trains are basically roller-coaster type rides with fake ghosts and stuff in them. It's hard to explain.

[SMBBQ]

It's a cool idea and all, but personally, I hope nothing like this ever happens. I dunno, I just would prefer all this to stay in video games.

To be fair though, those roller coasters would be amazing. Though I'd rather see DK have his own area, elsewhere in the resort. A minecart-style coaster, perhaps?

[Le Mario Bro]

Mt. Lavalava could be a huge, 50ft. waterslide that empties out into a Yoshi Village waterpark down at the bottom, with ziplines, smaller waterslides, and a Cheep-Cheep ride for the kids.

[EpicGyllynn]

@clive Koopa
Then we're talking about the same thing.

@smbbq
I'm sorry, but I just couldn't think of enough attractions to fill DK Island... But how 'bout DK Isalnd being an artificial Island Resort with a Hotel and a few Rides? Would that satisfy you?

@mariobro.
I kind-of want the Island to be more like W4 of NSMBWii, but with elemnts of Lavalava/Yo'ster Island incorporated. I agree, Mt.Lavalava would have a an EPIC Water Slide on the outside of the Mountain(the inside, where the lava is, would be inaccesible) made to look like a natural part of the Mountain, but I don't think Yoshi Village should be accesible(because of the animotronic Yoshi's, mainly), so how about the Slide leads into Lavalava Springs! It could be a Water Sub-park on the foot of the Mountain, featuring a Hot Tub(made to look like a Spring), smaller Water Slides, a Cheep-Cheep Ride for small children, and of course, a Lazy River that goes all over the Island; Providing a more relaxing way to get back to the other side of Mt. Lavalava.

[Le Mario Bro]

Much better idea.

That's what I've been noticing happen, actually.

No wonder why you have "Epic" as 50% of your name.

[EpicGyllynn]

Thank you! But since this is a Collab Effort, why not suggest some ideas for Attractions or Restaurants? It's not like I could do alll this by myself... Also, I will update the Thread periodically, introducing the new ideas.

[kingkoopa]

Ah you've made this topic at just the right time. I've had quite a few ideas about a Nintendo Theme Park Circulating in my head.

1. At least one of the parks has to have Princess Peach's Castle at the center of the park and a statue of Shigeru Miyamoto holding Mario's hand has to be somewhere in front of the castle.

2. Bowser's Castle Rollercoaster: An un-named Hammer Bro gives you a tour of the castle (its like the Stich ride in Disney World. By that of course I mean that this ride is supposed to be that you have joined the Koopa Troop and this HammerBro is giving you a tour of the castle so that you learn what you are jumpossed to do in the case of a CODE PLUMBER situation. The ride takes place in a room with a movie screen that would show the entire ride as if you were actually inside the castle. One part of the ride would show a video of public enemy #1. (Of course just to be funny, this part of the shown video will be about a godzilla-sized Mario jumping on an entire town of "defenseless" Koopas while Mario shouts ITS A ME MARIO.) At some point of the ride, Bowser will take over the tour and will make funny comments every few seconds until finally you see Mario break in and the whole Castle will be in a panic. Bowser will claim that he will stand his ground until the end and tell you to leave. You then almost get stomped on by Mario and once you escape you see a scence from the original Super Mario Bros of Mario touching the axe and knocking Bowser into the lava.

Anyways I had more ideas of other Nintendo themed rides but I have to do something else now...

[EpicGyllynn]

Well, Princess Peach's Castle IS the centerpiece of Mushroom Kingdom Theme Park(as shown above), but I think the statue of Shigeru Miyamoto and Mario would be a little too Disney World-esque. I'm interested in the Bowser Castle Tour idea, but I think it would be better if the whole, "Code: PLUMBER" thing was just a drill, and not actually Mario invading the Castle.

[kingkoopa]

Yeah it would be funnier that way if the training room shows a mario dummy with a spring attached to the bottom or something like that, but changing the details of the drill really doesn't change the main idea too much. Which is good because I like the idea and would like to keep it.

[EpicGyllynn]

As do I, but I think that before you enter the theater, you should stand in a waiting room, where you can see a shadow of a Hammer Bro. in the window, who would stay stuff like, "We don't get very many Human Recruits" and stuff like that. But once you enter the theater, the real show would begin.

[SMBBQ]

Haha, those ideas are really awesome.

By the way, I totally understand about not enough ideas for an entire DK area. But, a minecart-style coaster really would fit. Maybe winding around a mountain,going in and out, and maybe throw in the volcano from DKCR to top it all off. Basically, this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxJQLLgeFUU

[EpicGyllynn]

That would be great for Donkey Kong Island, but the Hotel still needs a name... Kongo Bongo Resorts?/jk Seriously, any ideas?

P.S. If there is a "*" by any of the titles in my original post, that means that it's a tentative title, so I'm looking for name suggestions.

[SMBBQ]

Tree Top Town. Name it that, and design it like that, and it's nothing but win.

[kingkoopa]

Oh and by the way... I was wondering that instead of the water park being around Lavalava Island, how about an Isle Delphino themed Water Park.

Also about the Bowser's Castle ride... the shadow of the Hammer Bro saying things before the show while you wait in line is a pretty good idea. My idea of the waiting line is those first few rooms before you enter Fawful Theater in the M&L3 Bowser's Castle. Except the difference would be obviously that instead of people ranting about Fawful, it would be more Bowser themed. Posters on the wall that say "Vote Bowser for school board" or "Did you know that Koopco can save 20% or more on shell insurance" or even a movie poster showing a movie called 3000 where you see Bowser dressed in Greek Robes and an army of Toads (Persians) are trying to fight all 3000 of Bowser's troops. The possibilities are endless, but I really wasn't focusing on the details of this ride when I though about it, just the main concept.

[Le Mario Bro]

Bowser Theater, Yes.

Pinna Park, No.
