Is another park needed or should DLRP focus on bringing its second gate up to standard? Would a third gate make or break the resort? And, more interestingly, what could the third gate actually be??? This map was posted by Raptor1982 on a Photomagiques forum (direct link= <a href="http://www.photosmagiques.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=685&highlight=third+gate" target="_blank">http://www.photosmagiques.com/ forum/viewtopic.php?t=685&highlight=third+gate</a>). He in turn cites another source.

A third park would make me personally willing to do a return trip to DLP, when I probably wouldn't otherwise.
