:P Right, I'm getting jealous of all the members who can just drive down to DLRP for the day, like it was a local shop. Some of us ( namely Breeno, Aveen and myself, as far as I know ) have a couple of seas and a channel in the way.
Now it seems other corners of the globe can get multiple parks, namely China, so why cant Europe get another one. And I know just the place to build it. Yes, that right, in beautiful, picturesque Ireland.
Now, I know what you're thinking, why ? Well, apart from selfish reasons, there are several things to consider.
1: Americans are always going on about some great-great-great grandfather who had a neighbour whose brother once bought a horse from someone who came from Ireland. Now they could come over, visit ODLI ( O'Disneyland Ireland ) and trace their heritage at the same time.
2: We've gotten past blowing stuff up every week, and most of the guns have been handed in ( allegedly ).
3: Because of the weather ( rain, rain, hour of sunshine, more rain ), it could be the first ever park completely enclosed inside a glass dome, like Springfield in The Simpsons movie.
Now onto the subject of theming. Gotta start with the castle. Now we have plently of fine ones to take inspiration from, like this lovely one below......

Unfortunately, the only Disney film I can think of to base a ride on is Darby O'Gill and the Little People
(//http://www.jimhillmedia.com/mb/images/upload/darby01-web.jpg)
But there's a rich history to expoilt - Leprechauns, Pots of Gold, Irish Dancers, Giant's Causway, Guinness - so I'm sure the Imagineers would have plently to go on.
Instead of the Molly Brown - Titanic
It's a Small World - It's a Rainy Place
Big Thunder Mountain - Big Craic Mountain
Autopia - Joyrider Heaven..........
.........to name but a few. And of course, how brilliant would St. Patrick's day be ? This could and should be the next logical step for Disney to take, in their neverending quest to spread their patented Magic around the world. So come everybody, say it once and say it loud, I'm Irish and I'm proud.
Good idea, or ( as Breeno said in a different topic ) have I been drinking to much Irish water ? Any suggestions for rides or theming?

an even better idea
Disneyland Ireland
Disneyland England
Disneyland Scotland
hahahahaha :D
NO WAY. England and Scotland already have Alton Towers, Butlin etc. Plus there's a little tunnel you's can use to drive to DLRP. We have nothing !!! So dont be greedy :P
Hehehehe!! Hip hip Horray (in caps!) =D> =D> =D>
lol at Darby o'gill and the little people, that movie freaked me out lol!
Good point we have some fine castles and landmarks around Ireland! Love the Logo you made! :D
I wish I could just pop down the road to Disneyland, it would be great, hey!
I can imagine it now with all the characters in irish costumes! I actually think chip and dales costums for the UODP look Irishy...

You've got my vote!! I think you, breeno and I would end up working there hehe!
Aveen xxx

Big Craic Mountain, HAHAHAHAHAHA :lol: :lol:
This is a great idea from you, and just as you said England, Scotland and Wales (spelt correctly :P ) have the likes of Alton Towers, Butlins etc, what do we have? Fun Fairs or "Death Traps" as i'd call them :P
Love the idea for me being chief imagineer :D Think we should rename the lands so they are more "irish folk friendly", like...
Main Street USA - The Main Road
Frontierland - The Cowboy Town
Discoveryland - Futureland
Adventureland - That one with all the trees
Fantastyland - The one with that castle
:lol: :lol:
I'll think of more ideas when they come to me :P

So The Most Patriotic Nation Doesn't Exist?
Do People Forget about us Welsh? We Exist Too... We beat you all in the 6 Nations! Remember.
What About...
Wald Disney Cymru
hmm interesting idea...
I have to argee with a second diney resort in europe...
lets have a look at the distances
Disneyland Resort Anaheim to Walt Disney World Orlando - 3.495,21 Kilometers
When they realy built a second resort at china so then we have from
Hong Kong to Shanghei - 1.222,47 Kilometers
So the main problem of the Walt Disney Company was to built the Resort in France the heart of Europe. when they built the Park at Spain or Germany we have a distances from 2.044 Kilometers. So the Company didn´t know that paris or france was not so popular for holidays anytime, the most peeps take his holidays in spain or in germany, and now these both countrys are on top of the most visit countrys in europe...
So back to ur idea, hmm a disney park in the size of Hong kong disneyland could work, maybe.

Instead of Need Magic?, I was going to include the tagline Need some Craic?. But instead of sounding magical, its sounds like an approach from a drug dealer :?
Imagine all those Brits who are scared of foreigners and other cultures..... congregating in the one disneyland they would remotely consider going to...... It wouldn't work.
It would be great, as long as all the english ones kept their mouth's shut ( kidding :P :P :P :P :P :P :P )
Nah most english are prats, just to quote someone from a recent visit from DLRP.
* Stood in queue for big thunder mountain *
'This queue would go much faster if there was more than one train running, the french just aren't clever enough to think of things like that.'
Just remembered about another film, The Fighting Prince of Donegal . Although dunno how this could be made into an attraction ? Suppose that's Breeno's job anyway :wink:

What about a drak ride that takes you around Donegal and through the story (never seen it so i have no idea what the story is), it can been the Snow White ride of ODLI :wink: :lol:

Well Mr. Chief Imagineer, you'd better go do some research :wink:
If Breeno's an Imagineer what am I...
I'll Cry if I'm Left Out... :roll:
what job would you like? there are plenty of positions up for grabs.
Marketing, Sercurity, Dish-washer............... :wink:
What about concept artist? I may be chief imagineer but i wouldn't call myself a great artist :P (although been would disagree with that, you can all judge for yourself soon when i post some of my art coursework when i'm back to school).
Don't Know...
I'll think about it and come back with a contract for you...
Wage is quite simple... Ashley Tisdale!
WAIT: I may want to rethink that wage... I'll come back to you on that too! :P
Need some good Irish style names for the 7 dwarfs.

... Fighty, Big Mouthy and... hmmm..... maybe dopey but what do we call him? :-k
EDIT: Or maybe Riverdancey :lol:
im skeptical that disneyland ireland would ever open- nothing would ever get done after they built the first on-site bar
:D :D i suppose you could have father ted and father jack as entertainment and mrs doyle as a beverage vender :D/ :D/ :D/ :D/ :D/ :D/
Hmm Any Jobs for me I wouldnt mind running the park from a large office ("The Disnyland Ireland park is now closing please make your way to the exit") and imagine running the parades just pressing the play button and making the magic start is enough magic for me!!!
count me in Pete's Dragon.
Us Irish/Norn Irish Disneyland fans need to stick together. It would be good to drive a short distance for Magic :L
Pete's Dragon
-breeno-
Aveen
and
CentralPlazaPerson as the main men/women :L
Give me a high up the rank DL Ireland job :P
As a person living in England I am also jealous of all the people living in Paris So if they oppened a park in Ireland it would b closer but I don't like the dome idea so much I also don't think too many Americans will come to Ireland just to go to Disneyland
what about Disneyland Wales? :D/
For the Umpteenth time, No !!!! :P
