HPB is also one of the few areas we haven't seen concept art for. Anyone have thoughts on this??

But we don't even know what they plan to re-name the park once the majority of this overhaul is done. They probably have some good ideas for giving everything a 30's spin and perhaps this will simply end up being the park that reflects California when Walt arrived with his head full of cartoon characters.

Who knows...

It's a smorgasboard. Take what you like. The idea of some overall theme to the place seems to be being cast aside in some ways.

I think it will be a Wonderful Coney Island period feel, when piers and boards walks were the stuff of dreams.
