As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

Is there going to be a big merger or something within the NWA? Will it die completely or endure like it does today?
Right now, professional wrestling consists of these:

World Wrestling Alliance (WWA)
World Championship Wrestling (WCW)
National Wrestling Alliance (NWA)
Eastern Championship Wrestling (ECW)

In the late 80's, the WWA adopted its current name after a lengthy trademark dispute with the World Wildlife Fund over the WWF initials.

Paul Heyman was at ECW very briefly until he was hired to join Jim Cornette and a relatively young Gabe Sapolsky at the WWA after Vince McMahon's steroid conviction.
 
Before I proceed with Worlds of Wonder, here's a refresher of the land that it sits on.
uqTfezj.png

The area in which the park will sit on is roughly 176 acres. The park itself is meant to be about three times the size of the Louisiana Superdome at 156 acres. The height of the park's roof should be roughly 275 feet. The challenge now is to figure out how to orient the park so it can be visible from the strip.

Remember when I gave a suggestion for designing the park 11 pages and 15 days ago? Well, I think it's relevant again, so I'll just quote it and see how you like it.
After thinking it over, here's what I'd do.

First off, make the dome a semi-visible glass covering. That way, the passing cars can take a gander at what goes on inside, while also protecting the heads of any birds and bird flocks that would swoop down for any restaurant food that would get sold in the park.

Next, to differentiate the Paris and Hard Rock hotels without making it seem wonky for the dome itself, I'd encompass both of them in said dome. However, I'd take a page from the leading malls in America, and have specialized entrances and exits crafted so that the hotel guests in those two non-Bally buildings can move freely as though they are also park guests at the same time.

Sure, you might need to rearrange some things, but I think it's a good start to not confuse people. Of course, I could be wrong on this.
Thoughts?
 
Bally's Worlds of Wonder Opens
Bally's Worlds of Wonder
tlnNOmQ.png


Bally's Worlds of Wonder is an air-conditioned behemoth that puts the Circus Circus Adventuredome and MGM Grand Adventure to absolute shame. So massive that you can fit the Louisiana Superdome inside and still have room for countless attractions, restaurants and shops.

The teal shape is the actual footprint of the theme park. The chunk facing Flamingo road to the north is both for show building space and to provide an entrance to the park from the Paris Casino. The white oval indicates the dome, the focal point of the park's exterior.

The Paris Hotel is moved to the corner of Flamingo and Paradise (top right) in order to allow direct access to Worlds of Wonder from Las Vegas Boulevard on the west side. On the corner of Harmon and Paradise is the Hard Rock Hotel.

The Bally's hotel in Vegas was formerly the original MGM Grand IOTL. In preparation for Worlds of Wonder, much of the old hotel was demolished with the hotel towers rebuilt in a serpentine with a swimming pool. All that remains of the OTL MGM/Bally's are the Grand Bazaar Shops in the Bally's forecourt. The Grand Bazaar can pretty much act as Worlds of Wonder's equivalent of Universal's City Walk.

The outer part of the dome is made up of turquoise or bluish-teal, soundproof, semi-visible glass. The rooftops surrounding the dome are equipped with industrial-grade ventilation systems to reduce the amount of dust in the event of upgrades or the replacement of an attraction. The dome's highest point is at 280 feet. The roof is cantilevered similarly to that of the Adventuredome.

The guest parking garage is eleven stories tall while the employee parking structure is seven stories.

The Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel & Casino is scaled down to half size to accommodate the nearby McCarran Airport.

Opened on May 3, 1996 in Paradise, Nevada on the Las Vegas Strip.

OPENING NIGHT ATTRACTIONS
THE STRIP

The park's equivalent of Main Street, themed with scaled down parodies of now-defunct Vegas hotels. This is the first land you see if you enter through the atrium adjacent to Las Vegas Boulevard.
[Naming Rights] Theatre at Worlds of Wonder: The park's answer to the VH1 Videopolis venue.
Boulevard Buffet: The park's answer to the numerous buffets at other casinos.

Lucky Streak: A Vegas-themed coaster.
Devil's Den: A Tower or Terror-style haunted casino with a Vegas twist. The storyline for this attraction takes place at the derelict Lucky Thirteen. Be careful, because if you spin a 666 on the ride's slot machine, you'll earn a jackpot of flames or spiders. Don't forget about the succubus showgirls, vampire magicians, werewolf comedians and zombie bands.

There's just got to be one based on The Sands, complete with actors playing a parody version of the Rat Pack.
That's just too quintessentially Vegas to not be a thing....unless they thought it was too obvious...

I wonder how the Glasgow Park opening will be like if we get round to that?

Might I suggest adding a Sailor Moon meet and greet area later on? I think it would fit.

I'm surprised that a Gumby attraction was feasible. How was that conceived?
 
I went back and added it. Thanks for reminding me.

@TheFaultsofAlts
I edited the post to add the Devil's Den attraction.
The dreams come true worlds of wonder is noghting like the American magic Worlds of Wonder
You mention that feld Etnerment is foundign partner of worlds of wonder but I see any acrations based on thier ips. Do you think their room for a circus themed are like the oringal american magic. If so I will search for the old worlds of wonder retrospetive I made for you and use it make list of the cirus area arctions used in the american magic version of world's. That list will be help if you want to add a cirucs area for the reboot verison of worlds of wonder

You seam to have two cartoon areas, The world of Dic and catoon cayon. I suggest combing theam,
Since Worlds of is Bally's new flagship park, I feel that they would more then 12 attractions. A have few idea ideas. They are all for the stripe but I feel that other people have ideas for the other areas of the park. My ideas are the Lucky Streak coaster a round up ride called Roulette. I feel that the casino replicas of the stripe would house a theahter, a buffet reasteruant , an arcade and at lest one reasturant. I hope you go into my more detials about the devil's den. My suggest for the devil's den sceans include slot meachice spitting out spiders or fire after they spin a 666 jackpot, some deing after pulling a death card, a gurusme buffet, a theahter with either a zombie band, demonic showgrils a werewolf or skelatal comedian or a vampire magaingain. The bif finale palying dice with the devile. . I would also move the Devil's Den to the stripe instead of giving it owns sin city area. I don't now what eles you could do with the sin city area that you can't do in the stripe.

I'd beg to differ. Due to the many shows DIC Entertainment has created ITTL, we can use The Incredible World of DIC for shows like Inspector Gadget, Madeline, and The Littles, while Cartoon Canyon can house properties like Rocky and Bullwinkle, Dudley Do-Right, Garfield, U.S. Acres, Gumby, and other non-DIC franchises. Yes, including the Saban and Golden Harvest anime dubs and still like that.

You have a point but I still support the idea of merging cartoon cayon and the world of Dic espically because the world of Dic seams sparse. We will have to wait and see who oldnavy agrees with
 
Added the following to The Strip
- The Astrocade
- [Naming Rights] Theatre at Worlds of Wonder
- Boulevard Buffet
- Devil's Den
- Lucky Streak
- Roulette
